Never been there before, but I'll be there this weekend with uppers, lowers, Bullet-Buttons. Be there or be square! :p
Oh, I will have U-15 stocks as well.
Unfortunately I will not have any LPKs, internal parts, bushmaster mags or Prince 50 mag locks this time, but you purchase a receiver, they can be shipped to the transfer dealer of your choice.
EDIT: I tried to obtain some bushmaster mags and Prince50's. I just wanted them so I could offer them to my customers who needed them, and was going to pay the same price I would have charged for them. Needlesss to say, it didn't happen. I won't say where this was at... :rolleyes:

Aint been to the SJ show in ages; but in comparison to the Cow Palace show- the Vallejo is about 65-75% the size of the cow palace. Much the same big vendors, quite a few smaller private vendors.
I'm going...just not sure yet which day. Might try Saturday as I keep coming up short with Miwall when I arrive on Sundays.......:cool:

Be there or be square! :pJust be aware that if you go to buy a receiver from this guy, he's going to ask you for a DNA sample (in addition to filling out all the paperwork).
I told him I'd give a little blood, but that was all he was getting, heheheh.
It was good chatting with you in SJ, Xeno.

And did Dave have one of the Kit Kat girls there to take the sample?

Yes, I'm an employee of Cold War Shooters. I'll have Bullet-Button mag logs and a bunch of other stuff.
Nice to see you at the SJ show to Mike...
Everyone forgets to mention the cavity search... It is unconstitutional, but a lot of fun....

I would say more like 20-25% the size of the Cow Palace Shows.

02-08-2007, 12:29 PM
WokMaster, if you know Dave @ SJGE, he'll be at the tables with me. Hopefully John will have a table of NVDs and stuff next to me.
So, all three of us no longer work at SJGE, but we'll be at Vallejo with tables. Interesting how life works out, eh?
Mike, that's "Don't ask, don't tell" territory! I'm not asking and you SURELY shouldn't tell!!!:eek:
Oh shush. You're a Marine you know the drill! ;)

Oh, all purchases and examinations will be held to the most strict non-disclosure. :eek:

I dunno; I've walked 'em both countless times; basically the same vendors there...a lot more SPACE at the cow palace between the isles/rows that not there at the cow palace~ nor the one end with two rows of only one or two total vendors. A noticible less "fluff" though there is still beef jerky:D ....I'm sticking with my intial assessment;)

02-08-2007, 06:57 PM
Well, unlike either SJ or SF, the Vallejo show has sold out of tables. They actually oversold by a few. ;)

No, but I'll have the blue tablecloth with all the AR uppers, lowers, U-15 stocks and CWS t-shirts for sale.
I'll probably be in the back corner, behind the post, under the busted light and under the leaky pipe, since this is my first show for Code of the West Gun Shows. lol

Darn, I stop going to Vallejo Gun Show anymore. There is not much to see and on top of it you had to pay for parking for an hour shopping. Cow Palace, Reno, San Jose, Antioch is more reasonable. No pay Parking is available. Iam cheap, what can I say.

LOL! He's a longhair like I used to be! ((well, ok, its Slowly growing back)). I dont remember his attire but was amazed at the day/night diff between him and Chris of zero-sides crew cut to Xeno's pony tail:D

I think Xeno was wearing a M1A shirt when he did my DROS back in Aug.

I was at the show Sat morning - met Xeno - seemed like a nice guy. Don't know how he keeps talking to all the customers - my voice would give out. Lots of people listening to him about OLL's and how it's done.
Bought a U-15 stock - installed it - it may look a little strange, but seems practical and functional (I'll pick functional over style anytime).
Didn't bring enough spending money (again!).
metalhead357
02-10-2007, 03:36 PM
THANKS XENO!:D He hooked me up rightously and picked a nice looking one from amonst them all he brought!
I now remember why I usually hit Sunday, instead of Saturday, shows- The Place was PACKED! Nothin' but E & A:cool:
Ok Show IMO..... no 'real special' deals for anything I was after in terms of ammo or gear but still a nice show..........

i got a bullet button mag lock from him and his buddy. installation is very easy. just tapped in the bullet button cage with a plastic hammer, put in the spring and screwed in the nut[no loctite]. very cool. cant wait to take it on a test drive. hope to see them in vallejo again. yes it was very busy. hope they made lots of money.

Nice to meet you guys and good seeing ya again Metalhead! I guess this was one of the best Vallejo shows they've had in a while. Red said that it was the best show he's seen there since the mid-90s! Anyways, gonna be there again tomorrow, so if you're nearby stop in and say hi. :)

Vallejo was packed... no empty tables, and pretty much standing room only for the first half of the day. It was much better than any San Jose show I've seen since perhaps 2001... And there were a LOT of guns. It was like Cow Palace, but probably half the size... The better half.
And if you paid admission for one day, they'll let you back in for free if you come back the next day.

Was there Saturday early PM. My first time at this show. It seemed very well attended and I found a couple of small things reasonably priced for an AK project.
It was great meeting Xenophobe and hope that he and CWS continue to come to Bay Area shows.
No Iggy sightings

Was there today from about 9 til noon. Had the pleasure of meeting Xeno and one of his associates from SJGE and CWS. Decent show, bought some Lake City ammo. Good times. Thanks again for the good talk Xeno, look forward to catching you at the next show.

I was able to go on Saturday with a few friends. We split the $5 parking fee, so that was ok. Xeno, great seeing you at the Vallejo show. Thanks for coming down. Saved my a few dollars in gas v. driving to SJ.

It was great meeting all of you! It was a very busy show, both Dave and myself ended up answering more questions than I could have ever imagined... if only I would have a dollar for every question!
Most of the vendors agreed that this show was the best Vallejo show in at least the last decade. VERY busy, though sales weren't as nice as I expected. Still worth the trip and enjoyed seeing everyone.

I ran into John from Sonoma firearms, he said Iggy was there and said his U-15 stock was illegal and was going to notify the 58 DA's,:rolleyes: I am sure he will send them a memo.
