Sounds like a brand new show? Does anybody know where this big tin cotton gin building is located? Might be one to check out.
Thanks,

Here's where it's located.
https://www.google.com/maps/place/The+B ... 11.5825878

I looked at the street view on google maps, and the building doesn't look very big. I wonder if they're going to set up tents outside. It's a long way for me to drive, so I don't know if I'm going to make it out. Especially since it doesn't look like it's going to be very big.

I have been to one of their shows in March. $10 entrance fee. Yes they also set up outside next to the building. No parking fee. Nice to walk around and see what for sale. I will go this week coming up.

O.K. so I went to the gun show. Entrance fee $6.00 not bad. Free parking. Some venders charge 3% for credit card purchase. Over priced on AR 15 style long guns. Example, Diamondback 5.56 full M-Lock rail I paid $529.00 They are selling same AR for $650.00 REALLY!. Very small menu. It great to look and kill some time. Some have good stuff. Some tables not set up, maybe tomorrow. Oh some charge tax some don't.

I went last year. Good thing is you will see a small smattering of folks and things you haven't seen in Phoenix. Bad thing is you will see a SMALL SMATTERING of folks and things you haven't seen in Phoenix. Similar to the Shriner's hall venue on 40th St.

Now, it is literally right next door to a very decent BBQ shack, and a barber. So, if you work it right, you can get a lot accomplished in one stop. :mrgreen:

Managed to get a decent deal on 500 .38 wadcutters, 300 75gr HP .243 projos, a Sinclair micometer trimmer for $90 & a British wooden ammunition can for $10


And good BBQ was had.
I already took care of the haircut Friday

I like little gun shows, IF they aren't too far away to make it worth the trip.

I went to this. It was small and I guess they had to spread things out because of the Covid thing. It was fun but I didnt find any great deals. I was looking for an AR but not at the prices they wanted. The prices are up everywhere now. You probably are not going to find one for $525 for a while. It was worth it but I live locally. Not sure it would have been if I drove across the valley for it.
