Cow palace show

[BigMac]

I duno if I would decribe him like that. He does like to wear the big Russian hat though. You may be underestimating red and thats the way he likes it.

Was he there? I may have to go if he's going to be there.

I did see one fully assembled lower minus the pistol grip it was a Vulcan for 275.

By the way, a certain Asian DOJ agent was there....

I saw him, went over and introduced myself and shook his hand politely. He may have been taken a bit aback or may be naturally shy, dunno. It looked like he'd purchased a big knife (1+ ft long) in a sheath - he may've been there for shopping and not biz???

Went there Good crowd, but nothing worth while
Bought jerky and carmel corn. Shook my head at the prices for guns & ammo and went to the RV show out in the lot.

Priceless!

It was a been there, done that, seen that show

It seems each time that I go to the Cow Palace show it goes down a notch or two. Don't know if I'll go to the next one. There was not really that much AR stuff there and the prices where really high. So I stopped off at San Jose Gun Exchange on the way home. First time there. Nice people. They had probally more AR stuff than the whole gunshow. Bought a extra OLL and a Magpul tactical stock.

I was there. It sucked! I was looking for reloading stuff, but didn't see anything except for a couple of 1lb cans of powder for about $19. Very few guns, but LOTS of nice ammo cans. The guy in the north end of the hall has some cheap and nice ones.

Miwall was there. Nothing special. .223 Federal AE was about $200/1000 which is a good deal based on the current prices. Other than that, nothing worth noting except for the kick-****** band playing in the back.

Had I known Bill was going to chat with our favorite cop in Sac I would have had someone take my camera.

To be a fly on the wall.

First funshow I went to I brought a backpack and had a digital camera in it. I got searched going through the front door and bitched out because I was bringing a camera in. WTF is up with no pictures?

[xenophobe]

I always have free passes for this show, and I almost never go to it... Tells ya how much I think of it. lol

[metalhead357]

LOL! I hear ya. Sometimes wish/want to snap a pic of a cool set-up but its a no-go. My guess is toooo many reporter-types would be there and then we'd watching sckewered doucumentarys on how the "Illegal Beef jerky trade" at the cow palace was a front for gem collectors there

[peepshowal]

Also ran into a fellow Calgunner! Nice meeting you Peepshowal!


Bought a case for my OLL. No ammo this time which is my usual reason for
going. Even my nine year old daughter was a little disappointed because
the booth with the chocolate candy was gone.

Nice meeting you also, Wilit.

[metalhead357]

Sounds like quite a few of us went We need a "secret signal" and NO, I'm not doing the hand over the forhead in the shape of an "L"

[newtothis]

Iwas thinking the same thing...maybe a logo pin. A stylized "cg" perhaps. I recognize Mr. Weise there but I don't know many other cg-ers.
