Has anyone attended the HCGS in the past few years. It used to be a pretty good show to find some old collie tees guns. Last one I went to back in 2018 was nothing but new guns. I see they moved to a smaller location from over at reliant. May have to check it out this weekend

You know, the other thing that has changed with "gun shows" in general today vs. when I was a kid goin' with my dad is that when I was a kid (50+ years ago) the "big gun show" would come to beautiful downtown Lufkin... We always went and the whole flavor of the show was geared toward hunting... Great rifles, shotguns and pistols that would be good to shoot deer, hogs, squirrels, ducks and such... almost no Military/tactical guns/gear... The "military" stuff there would be crates full of old Mausers or similar guns that you could buy for $20-$50 a piece... They were there only because folks bought them to get the action so they could build a "custom" hunting rifle... Now-a-days, it's all about guns to for "self defense, protection, or tactical" use... guns designed to kill people... targets are people silhouettes instead of a deer, squirrel or bear... That to me is a sad reflection on who we have become as a nation and human race...
