Yup, I also thought the shows sucked until I started paying attention and not just looking at the big ticket items. Rix86 aka the dude with an overflowing gun room knows how to find deals. Given enough time, sure statistically you are bound to find deals. Not everyone cares to make a regular trek to wade through what all is there looking for gems, and what one person considers a gem another person does not. Last show I went to, I walked out with a WWII Nazi hat pin, and two glass insulators. My buddy came out with a sling and a couple fiddly bits of parts. _________________ "I won't insult your intelligence by suggesting that you really believe what you just said." - William Buckley, Jr. "...steam, artillery and revolvers give to civilized man an irresistible power." -Perry Collins |

Can't judge all shows from one. Been to a few stinkers but also been to a few gems.
But we get it. You don't like shows. Let the people who do, enjoy their thread. |

On the other hand I get a couple free rifles now too. _________________ "I won't insult your intelligence by suggesting that you really believe what you just said." - William Buckley, Jr. "...steam, artillery and revolvers give to civilized man an irresistible power." -Perry Collins |

Then you should be happy. And see? You found some insulators cuz that's something that would catch your eye. Last WAC I traded off 2 guns, bought a cc pistol and almost bought an 8 shot 17hmr snub nose revolver because why not? 594 has made them less fun but if you like to trade guns it's a great place to walk through.
Also if you shoot regularly stopping to see Bill at the wrcc table is mandatory. _________________ Licensed/Bonded/Insured Hardwood Floor Installer/Finisher http://www.hardwoodfloorsnw.com/ |

Look - another WAC show bitch thread.
Either you can bitch and not go. Or actually get involved. Next up: Kavitching about WAC. The Monroe show is close to where I live, it's tiny. But still it's a gun show. I'll remain a WAC member. _________________ Why does the Penguin in Batman sound like a duck? Because the eagle sounds like a hawk. |

Put in another manpon and keep bitching about too much stuff that's not what YOU want at the biggest gunshow around. Because, you know, it'd be better if there weren't any more, right? |

I hit the Puyallup gun show when I need specific stuff that is expensive online. Like the Rem .280 mags for my 1979 Remington 7mm Express (*no, not a mag!) Online, when I found them,. $49 each. Gun show...$36 each. :)

Boy, there sure has been a lot of belly aching about WAC over the years, eh? It must have influenced me some...
I haven't yet been to a WAC show, but my family sure enjoys all the other ones we go to. Centralia, Tacoma, Vancouver, Spokane, TriCities, Kalispell, Missoula... several more in smaller towns. If there's a gun show in the town I am in I'll swing in... Sometimes I buy, sometimes I don't. Almost always see someone I know. I don't consider it wasted money for the drive and admission. Good times. |
