Anyone going to the Gun Show in Waco on 9/4?

If you are, say hi. I'll be there from opening until around noon with a DPMS Heavy Barrel .308 with a scope slung over my shoulder. I'm going to try to work a trade for something lighter.

Would love to but busy.

Is your gun listed here in the classifieds?

No, I have it on Texas Gun Trader but had to delete the "what I'd trade for" part because a guy got pissy after offering everything under the sun that had nothing to do with what I'd trade for, and endless offers from other randoms looking to trade for other stuff that I apparently telepathically message that I needed. But, ya know, I didn't really need.

Things may take longer to sell here on average (depending) but you (probably) won't have to deal with as much shit as TGTrader. Just don't ask for Paypal or a BOS.

The gun show was dead; mostly overpriced. One vendor was asking $799 for a Kel-Tec Sub2k when I just saw one at Keith's Ace Hardware for $498. I bought mine brand new at the beginning of the pandemic at the Gatesville show for $475 with two extra 33 Glock mags thrown in.

I did manage to pick up an ATI/GSG 1911 "9-22" in 22lr for $320 otd. It's the exact dimensions of my ParaOrdnance Executive Carry .45, so it'll let me practice on the cheap and it fits the holsters I have for the PO. It runs perfectly with bulk ammo (Win M-22 and Rem GBs), and I killed a few field rats with it while shredding the back pasture yesterday afternoon.
