    Would be cool if you did anything closer to me. I'm up here in ND and we only have acouple shows a year that are close enough to drive to. Dont think the wife would let me travel that far to check it out.

    Our displays at the tool shows were designed to be set up and unfolded and then rolled into place. Cost a fortune to have them custom built but well worth it. All we had to do was have the union people plug them in.

    For smaller shows we have pop ups that take 10 minutes to set up. This is a 30x50 that we can configure for just about any size from 10x20 up to 40x60.

    Just to give you an idea of the traffic, we will give out 20,000 koozies this week and almost that many in Harrisburg.

    I'll talk to you in Ft. Worth[:)]


    I have most likely talked to you a couple times before but never brought up I was on the forums or anything, mostly just stole a couple of can coozies[:D] I always see you guys there but don't really have alot to say, you guys have a pretty good site and you know it[;)]

    I don't have as much time to do auctions as I used to but I wished I did.[:)] Almost everything I have put up lately has brought more than I'm asking in the store for it and I have pretty much quit selling used guns, only new now.

    That's a nice looking set-up!

    CaptFun, I've heard that an M-24 will be raffled off off at the show, if you get a chance to see it, would you please let us know what you think of it after seeing it up close and personal?
    What's next?

    It finally slowed down enough to step out of the booth to take a picture. We have been slammed all week. almost out of all the SWAG. Here is a link to the info on the raffle.

    http://www.*/remington-and-the-us-army-are-surplussing-and-raffling-off-4000-m24-sniper-rifles.html

    It does not say who is selling the tickets. I will go over and check with Remington to find out.

    Here it is. The paint job is neat but a little rough. The stock and scope are from an Army sniper, they put a new barrel, receiver and trigger group on it.

    Looks pretty good overall. (I bought 5 tickets....)

    It was nice to meet you captnfun at the state of the industry dinner with the chance meet and handshake. Atleast now I know which one you are for next year when I stop by the GB booth to say hi. I did win a nice boonie hat with the slot machine[:)]

    Great to meet you too. The boonie hats were VERY popular. I may order some more and put them in the GunBroker store.

    We just got home, the booth was nice as always. Finally got last years shirt replaced, and thanks to the cool Capt an autographed car from Jason White. Jason is a super nice young man, as was everyone at the booth this year. Lots of cool stuff again this year, meeting R. Lee Ermey was awesome. He is a super nice man, was really shocked how down to earth he is.

    Thanks for the comments and picture Capt! The picture of the young ladies is outstanding and gets my first smile of the day! [:)]

    Good luck on the chances you took on the M-24.

    Those girls are hired models and we have had the same ones for 5 years. Saves me from having to train them every year!! They are SUPER. We also have mostly repeats at the Harrisburg show as well.

    I have a few more things to wrap up tomorrow and then we are DONE!!

    R. Lee is a super guy. I got to hang out with him at Talladega a few years ago when Glock was running an Arca car. They were pretty pleased I think with the high bid on the SHOT Show Glock.

    Got my cuzie and won a t-shirt on the slot machine, but no Capt Fun. The girls were pretty and nice, though. In my opinion, the SHOT SHOW has gotten too big to be really enjoyable, but I'll still go.
