Is anyone going and is it worth a crap. Planning on picking up a couple of new toys soon and I'll be off that weekend but hate to make the drive for low selection and high prices.
Huge turn out on New Years Eve, Vendors were maxed out and a lot of buyers too. $10 a head to get in. Go online for a dollar discount. Park for $5. Take receipt for parking refund after you pay your way in. Picked up a rifled barrel for my 835 Mossberg. Still a lot of things to do there if you want to make a day of being in Cow Town.
Yeah, I think so on both counts. The show is always packed both with vendors and attendees. Other than folks grumbling about the fee for parking, haven't beard of too many people that haven't enjoyed the show!
I think it's a pretty good show. The Dallas Market Hall show is bigger, but IME the Fort Worth show usually seems to have a few more deals - not sure why, maybe a few more individual/non-dealer tables? I'll be at the upcoming Fort Worth show for sure. Maybe I'll see you there!
havnt been here for a long time but thought I would get in on this
I know it's a month old thread but, there's another FT Worth show this weekend, it is the Orginal Ft Worth Show..and it has 1200 tables.
there is another group that does a smaller show,400 tables same place, similar tags as they're both in FT Worth, same location..
Had a good time there as well. Looked for you, but didn't see you. It was more packed than I've ever seen it. Heard several vendors say the same thing - they've never seen such a turn out. Tried to make a deal on a Ruger Single Six Convertible but just couldn't get the seller to budge enough and just missed out on a Ruger M77 MK II Stainless .30-06, oh well - maybe next time.
I got there about 11 and had to wrap things up about 1230, on call next week so we had an early valentines day. It was pretty packed, I had hell getting around the tables.
I was able to make it this afternoon, found a full sized springfield armory loaded 1911 for 599 + tax, saw some pretty good deals out there. Along with some not so good deals (2250 for an fn five seven????).
Yea me and a buddy ended up making it out didnt really find any awesome deals, got a some paper silouettes and a few exploding targets and an AR sling. and yall are right it was packed!
Hit this show today. Good grief it was crowded. They've been running ads in the newspaper for weeks, and there's several freeway bill-boards advertising it so maybe that's the reason.
I didn't find what I was looking for at the price point I wanted, but did pick up 250 rounds of 9mm at a good price. Had a hot dog too.
I like that show. Usually nice deals. That one and the Market Hall show are my favorites. I sometimes go to the Mesquite shows, which are not bad, but much smaller.
I would avoid the Allen Gun Show. It seems the venue is too small, just MHO. And I found only one deal, and that was on a knife.
