I'm just curious to find out if it is worth going to.

Talked to some guys at work who say this is more of a collectors and memorbilia show than a normal gun show. Geared more towards Cowboy Action and re-enactors than anything else. I remember some of the post here after the first one saying it was expensive to park and get in and were rather disappointed in it afterwards.
It may still be worth checking out anyway. |

brochure
I don't know, but I'm going to check it out. I heard they listened to the complaints from last year and made changes. ie. free parking, more "real guns and ammo"... We'll see. |

Is there anywhere I can find out about other upcoming Gun Shows, (there was a 2004 list Tacked at the top of the Texas forum, but unfortunatley its gone now)
Thanks for the Brochure, although the Indians and cowboy sketches isn't very encouraging for a guy who is looking for AR parts. (don't get me wrong I like western style firearms) the brochure is labled "the great western show" if thats any indication of what will be there. |

This is the one downtown right. If that is the case, then yeah. Lots of C&R, memorabilia, cowboy stuff. And they don't sell any ammo. If its the same one I went to 3yrs ago, its not worth going IMO. Better to wait for Market Hall.

Thanks,....
Market Hall: damn all the way in June, well I guess that will give me more time to save up. Is there any Dallas area shops and stores that sell AR stripped lowers and a wide array of parts? |

Well as soon as lordtrader told me about "Lone Star Guns" in Plano I was stricken by a bad stomach ache and I was forced to leave work early, so I took a 45 min. detour on the way home and ran by LSG. I bought a RRA lower, It has a small scratch , but I am far from dissapointed. So now my project begins,
Thanks for the referal and the web site. Great store I will be sure to return! I may even get them to install a free float, when I get to that point! |

Lone Star Guns also now has the gunsmith expertise of James Darst. Formerly at K2 and the best tactical gunsmith in Texas. Every SWAT team in North Texas appreciates James' work.

Sorry meant Amon Carter. I would guess the show there will not be that big but I'm going anyway just to see these guys and pick up some lowers. Got to email them to make sure. I did look it up on his site and it is May 8-9.

Poor_Man
I just bought a Stag Arms stripped lower from www.eaglefirearms.net and it is better Mil-spec than my bushmasters that came with my rifles. Quality and color are good too. It was $79 +$6 s&h and showed up in two days from Denver. I'm going to buy two more as soon as I have the funds.Shooter100 |

Not bad might be a prospect in another future build, but for now this RRA lower i bought will have to suffice. |

Frisco is correct: Lonestarwholesale.com contacted me with the same information. They are considering attending the Dallas show at this time. When I hear from them I will pass along the news. This has truly thrown a kink in my plans for the weekend. |
