There's always the Railhead BBQ on the end of Montgomery just south of I-30. And they allow open carry, unlike Heim.

I'll be set up in my normal corner in Tyler this weekend trading off some of my various gun junk I don't use anymore. If any of you make it by here stop by and say HI! Look for the huge baldor buffer I use for knife sharpening.

Got stuff with the kids until ~11, but can probably make it there by noon. Planned to meet some others at Big Town around 1 anyway, so it works.

Soulman's BBQ, Texas Roadhouse in easy driving distance. 9-10 November Canton - G&S Lewisville - Premier 16-17 November Belton - Real Texas Brownwood - Silver Spur Fort Worth - Lone Star (smaller than the Premier show, but still a decent large show @ Will Rogers) Longview - Classic Arms 23-24 November Mesquite Big Town - Premier (This should be a big show. Parking will be tricky, particularly if muddy. Maybe carpool from lunch?) 30 November - 1 December Dallas - DACA (Not the Market Hall show you remember, but still a decent medium show in a large venue. Hopefully they can recover.

Just got back from Lewsiville, and if you missed it, you missed the last one they'll be having (according to one of the vendors I spoke to). If true, that's a shame, it was a good little show.

The Mesquite Rodeo location will likely lose the overflow parking in the grass/mud. The guy who owns the rodeo is developing all the land from Rodeo Center (the road you turn right from) west to Peachtree road (the McDonald's).
Hundreds of various residences (townhomes, single family, etc). They'll get a shock when they paid $250,000-330,000 and still get their cars broken into by the Grove-ites, balch springs hoodlums and good ole Mesquite ghetto trash

Picked up 4 rounds of 25mm TP-T linked...that was cool...saw a Magazine Lee Enfield (Long Tom) for $1200...good price for a tough gun...wish I had an extra $1200... January is DACA's last show at Market Hall...after January they are changing venues to South Fork Ranch (good for me, literally 3 minutes away). The January show is in conjunction with several Militaria show guys, will be lots of militaria dealers there, and vehicles, etc...of course if they don't advertise, other than this thread no one will know... 
Premier will be taking over shows at Market Hall, their first show there will be in May...Michelle at least will advertise the hell out of it...she'll get people through the door again, whether they buy or not is a different story. |

Sorry for the crappy show, but that is good news. DACA has been losing money hand over fist at Market Hall. Will look forward to finally visiting Southfork.
You know Premier will make a decent show out of it. Think they're ditching Lewisville and Mesquite Rodeo, so they'll have 3 big shows across the Metroplex. |

I'll be set up in my normal corner in Tyler next weekend trading my excess parts and stuff and sharpening a few knives. Anyone have a Tokarev barrel they want to get rid of? Both 30Tok and 9mm. Also need some grips. Haven't seen any at any gunshows lately.
