    I haven't been to the last couple so I will probably go.
    I'll be the good-looking one with the Marlin 336 over his shoulder.
    I'm not real thrilled about the $8 admission though and could back out on a moment's notice.

    I'll be there. Need to restock my cleaning supplies and check pricing on several items. Always looking for a non traditional lever gun or a 12.5",300BLK upper. --- SAWMAN

    The more I got to thinking about the 25 mile drive and the 8 bucks to get in, the less enthused I became about going.
    I'll wait for the Hadji show.
    Somebody post up if they found anything good.

    Went out this morning, seemed a bit quieter than normal. Lot less private sales going on; a vendor from Mariana had a huge chunk of the room, Jay's had a huge setup in the middle as usual. AA Tactical took up one corner of the room. Pretty good bit of powders and reloading stuff near the back. Saw a couple Winchesters out there but they were a bit too rich for my blood.

    That was probably The Outpost from Marianna. They usually have some decent deals.
    Sounds like the increase in the admission price has kept people from going.
    Bean needs to get a clue before he kills the golden goose.

    Went yesterday. Found some good deals. Will be back again this morning for some more good deals and to "guide" a future AR owner through the maze of bad deals. We will not buy there,just do the touchie-feelie thing.
    Saved my money all year and now will be able to pay the enormous outrageous fee of $8.00 to get in again.

    WHEW !!! --- SAWMAN

    For me, it's not just the $8 but combined with the distance, the normal lack of deals and the fact that a lot of yard work needed doing, the gunshow lost out.
    Given the lack of any of those, I would have gone.
    I'm looking forward to the one at the Hadji Temple.
    Who is putting that one on anyway?

    For gunshows the driving distance thing for me is considered. I used to go to the FWB show but not anymore. Milton,Robertsdale,P'cola Fairgrounds,and Hadji Temple are my choices. I will most likely quit the Milton show in the near future.
    I "need" about 6 shows per year,sooooooooo . . . . . --- SAWMAN

    The least they should do is deduct the admission fee off if your purchase is 75.00$ or more of there already inflated prices.

    Talked to the guy and his wife. Most of the uppers at the right side of the table were all 300BLK. They all looked pretty good. He had 10.5,12.5,and 16 inch uppers but said he will build and ship any size,color,etc,upper you want. Did not ask him where he gets his bbls from. He said that they were 1:7 twist. Couple were ceracoated.
    I picked up his buisness card if you need any info.
    I am thinking of picking up an upper chambered in 300BLK. Only thing stopping me is if I did I couldn't make fun of Bruce anymore. --- SAWMAN
