He's well, but FW_wife didn't bring him on this trip. A weekend away from the kids.

Fewer guns, more knives and geegaws than Market Hall. Good show for SMLEs though.

Gatesville show was as small as the one I went to in E Texas a month ago in Bonham. The dealers there said they had a good show.

I might be able to go to the Fort Worth show on Saturday.
I'd vote Flying Fish or the Turkish joint or ? Not much of a fan of Railhead. |

I married FW_wife so I could eat @ the Railhead.
There is a Turkish joint down the street from King Tut, but I've not eaten there yet. Flying Carpet, maybe, a few blocks east. I'm not much of a fish eater. |

Flying Carpet is good. Opa's on W 7th is really good as well for Mediterranean food.
For Bbq, Angelo's is great. |

I like the FW shows but the parking fee and door admission make it a $20 trip so I've usually been skipping it since I see the same stuff everywhere else too.
Besides, Market Hall is next weekend and it's 100% free for me since I help friends with their operation and parking is free for everyone. |

The smaller FW shows like this usually have free remote parking. Will post up tomorrow. I usually park close to the gardens.

While it's sad to see Market Hall getting smaller and smaller show after show, we were able to find some deals for my dad on some P&R S&W wheelguns he was on the prowl for.
I picked up a Spyderco knife and probably would've jumped on a gun deal or two if I had any gun money or trading fodder with me. |

Waxahachie was crowded and it looked like every table had the same stuff. At least three jerky tables. And, morbidly obese "comfort/service" animals.

They do plan on making a full scale Gun/Knife/Military show in January with heavy emphasis on military stuff, they want to have 500 tables of just military stuff, and he is having a bunch of guys bringing military vehicles, half-track and tanks included... He seems sincere, and dedicated, and understands the issues.... The door was shit today, that was super disappointing... Still managed to pick up some cool shit... |

I've been going to gun shows at Market Hall since the early '80s and that had to have been the smallest, saddest show I have ever seen there. The overhang area was closed and they had tables in about 2/3 of the main hall with quite a few empty tables. I picked up a nylon holster for the truck gun and that was about it. Model One had some retro triangular handguard uppers for sale but no one was around to give me a price.
I think I'll sit it out until the military show in January.

I am going next week to sign up for the next Mesquite Bigtown show....I can't depend on the DACA show to really make any scratch... |

Brownwood Durant, OK Palestine 6-7 April Grandbury Lewisville Tulsa, OK - you know you want to go. I want to go. FW_wife just looked at me when I brought it up.
Winnsboro I should make Lewisville, and might make Grandbury. 13-14 April Mesquite Big Town (Premier) - Soulman's BBQ? 20-21 April Belton - really enjoyed this show at the beginning of March. I recommend it. 27-28 April Fort Worth (Premier) - y'all post up where you want to meet for lunch Tyler - this is a good mid-tier show, if you can't make Fort Worth. |

Mesquite Big Town (Premier) Sulphur Springs NOON Saturday, Soulman's BBQ 1125 Gross Rd, Mesquite, TX 75149 Alas, like many of the upcoming shows, I will not be able to join you. Eat a BBQ sandwich and buy jerky and weird magazines in my honor. 20-21 April Belton - really enjoyed this show at the beginning of March. I recommend it. 27-28 April Fort Worth (Premier) - y'all post up where you want to meet for lunch Tyler - this is a good mid-tier show, if you can't make Fort Worth. 4-5 May Henderson Lewisville - small, but decent prices, free parking, see my recent post on what I picked up & pricing. 11-12 May Bastrop (Premier) - don't normally cover this far south, but it's the only one in the state advertised for this weekend. Bastrop's a cool little town, glad they're taking the money since Austin went full retard. 18-19 May Abilene Belton - this is a good mid-tier show. Mesquite Big Town (Premier) 25-26 May Dallas Market Hall - not as big as it once was, but free parking and a great place to find older arms and militaria |
