Ranger TX gun show
Posted: Sat May 06, 2006 4:51 pm
Hi all,
Well first I want to thank those who have welcomed me to the board here, thanky very much :)
About me: I'm a commercial bullet caster who just moved out of Kalifornia to Ranger Texas. Buddy and I live here in a huge steel building in which the RV is parked and the shop is set up. We can put out about 12,000 bullets a day under ideal circumstances, meaning if Buddy doesn't hassle me for attention. (Buddy is my wolf hybrid partner.)
Our website is undergoing renovation, and when that's done I'll post the link. I'm a Garand freak, and dearly love the feel of an M1 cycling my handloaded ammo. I don't buy commercial ammo at all for any of my guns.
My shop is set up around Magma Engineering equipment, and I have a very extensive reloading bench, 5 presses and all the other goodies that go with them, including a couple of power case trimmers.
My dream for some time now has been to have a Barrett M82, for which I have the loading press in hopeful expectation.
Buddy and I did the gun show here in greater metropolitan Ranger today, and we did surprisingly well for as small a show as it is. Not only did I sell bullets, I made some very good contacts. I met the guy who does the CHL classes here, Buck, and he's a very good guy, and I also met a fella who's opening a gun store and wanted to know if I will do wholesale to him.
Oh gee, let me, think..... uh... okay...
Sales weren't fantastic, but that wasn't the reason I did the show. I did it to meet my new gun-totin neighbors, and let them know what I do and where I am, and in this regard the show was a resounding success.
I didn't get to sell off that Lee Enfield, but I did cut a deal to trade off my Ruger 10/22 and Single six for a .30-30 lever gun, just which one I'm not sure yet, but three of the exhibitors there are interested and I'm taking those guns in tomorrow.
I can't lose on the deal, I got those guns for free :)
