2014 SAXET Gun Shows

[BIGPAPIGREG]

Since Saxet essentially got kicked out of Austin I might have to try your S.A. show

it's a gun show, just don't expect too much. The breakfast meet up is always great, really one of the main reasons for me to go....unless I'm actually looking for something

never been to the Austin one...It's like any of em....if you find something or see some good deals, it's a good trip. If not.....well ya still got to look at guns and have some good fellowship...

I mostly go to shows to get ideas. Know there aren't many deals but I have found a few large dealers to have good prices.

Last Austin SAXET show I went to was the first on at the Travis Center. It was good but the SA one is better!

The same show runs on Sunday, 3/2; just not breakfast at IHOP beforehand (at least as far as I know)...

I'm the same way.

Never been to the SA Saxet but I've been to the San Antonio Premier show and it's much better than the Austin Saxet show, and somewhat better than the Cedar Park Premier show. If it were me, I'd save my SA card for the next Premier show there, whenever that is.


Or do both if you can swing it! (I couldn't, I'd catch way too much grief!)

The one thing I really wanted wasn't for sale, which was a Mosin Nagant crate. It was full of rifles for sale, but what I wanted was the crate itself...

Buy both. Might need them.

I bought plenty of Mosins when they were cheap (they were asking $189 for standard round receiver Izhevsks), what I need is a crate (or two!) to store them in!

Saxet in San Antonio, packed, meh.

Was packed. There was lots of people selling ammo that looked like they were just selling all the stuff they bought up, not The normal ammo sellers, like Alamo was there, but there were several tables selling amma, no signs and not a lot of ammo, but a decent amount of stuff and a decent amount of hard to get stuff, like .22, which was still overpriced.

I have resolved not to attend that or any other gun show until the madness ends (if it ever does). I have sometimes stood in line to buy ammo at stores that open at 8:00 or 9:00 a.m. to buy ammo that I shoot at the homestead. It is often cheaper to buy ammo on-line than to burn fuel, pay admission and parking & pay for high priced ammo at the show.

The monthly gun show was one of my most enjoyable past times for many years. No more.

I'm the same way -- the ammo at the shows is priced higher than in stores now, and the crowds make it really hard to move around and look at anything.
