There were deals to be found. Primers were a very large spread from $30.00 to almost $50.00 for a brick. Figured 30 was a fair price, no sale tax, no BFE trips to Cabellas, no shipping... so bought 2 bricks.

Lower Parts Kits at $65.00, again no sales tax, no shipping et all....

Extended Mag Release for 10/22 for $20.00. Got one of those.

Saw a few things indicating prices coming back to reality. New beginner AR's for close to $500.00 could be found. Saw several upper assemblies going as low as $300.00, and of course going up from there.

Twice around nice and slow, and I was out of there in 2 hours. A bit smaller than the one in the arena. Hopefully they will grow back up some.

Ah that's right. Which explains why I went to the vendor area looking for the Oregon CHL line.

and I was referring to last April.

Went today, seemed like a bigger and better selection than your typical WAC show. Found a few things I needed, and a few things I wanted but didn't buy. Also went to the "jeep/truck show" (basically suppliers to 4wheelparts) at Puyallup. That was ok too.

The September show will be back in the "Dome" according to one of the staffers I talked to at the table rent table. She said the Exhibition Hall is booked for another event that same weekend.

There's a number of vendors at Wes' shows that don't do the Puyallup/Monroe shows.

I was keeping my eye out for a used G23 for a friend....don't think I saw one. Seemed like most of the firearms I looked at were new. Some good deal, just didn't want to part with my money at the moment.

After standing outside for an hour in the cold, I was pretty much done after the Sheriff before I even got to the show.

Just got my Oregon Permit in the mail. That is less than 2 weeks since the show. Very Speedy.

Whoa, that's impressive! Mine took a LOT longer than that last year.

Got mine Wednesday.

URGENT: does anyone happen to have the name or contact info for the t-shirt vendor that was there? (I forgot to grab it)

Can you describe any of the T-shirts?

I was there, selling T-shirts. I don't recall who else was there selling shirts since I didn't get much chance to walk the show.

Here's a few of mine, I have them at Puyallup this weekend. I'm on the left side of the main aisle, two rows beyond the Bore Snake vendors.

No it wasn't you, but we did visit and say hi.

It was the guy over the other corner where they were basically doing instant printing of any design. We need someone who can come to an event and sell and print t-shirts on the spot with the event logo.

I think I know who you are referring to... were they in the front right corner of the expo hall?

I believe that's who he is referring to. Enter the hall and go right, all the way to the wall. They had a bunch of stickers, tshirts, custom printer.

I think I may have heard them say they were from Anacortes or Oak Harbor.
