Nope. Even if I was driving to Texas, there's not enough gas to get me out of VA this week.

I want to see you at the SHILEN SWAP MEET!! May15th

This is a well kept local secret. You never know what stuff you will find. I've had good luck buying and selling at his show for many years.
The hosts are FANTASTIC! Suberb hospitality. Free fresh warm doughnuts and coffee in the morning, and the employees/wives make homemade Frito Chili Pie (also complimentary) for lunch that is superb, with all the trimmings and iced tea.
And barrel giveaways every hour.

It was a great Swap Meet. The weather co-operated and the vendors had lots of great stuff to sell at decent prices. I saw many old friends and made some new ones. Many thanks to Wade and all the Shilen Crew for all their hard work. They were great hosts.

Had a great time, and found some fantastic deals on barrels from the Gene Bukys Estate. Also had a great time shooting the bull with many friendsI haven’t seen in a while.

The Shilen People deserves big thanks for hosting this event.

Yes, it was a great show. I picked up 15,000 Federal Small rifle primers, 300 Ultra Mag dies, 500 Berger 30 cal 215 target bullets, a case of 20ga. ammo, and a Beretta 391AL shotgun new. One of our shooters bought 30 of Gene's Krieger barrel blanks. I'll bet he had over a 100 new Krieger and Bartlein barrel blanks. I was surprised the Turbo 22rf BR rifle didn't sell at $1000. Jay Lynn,TIGHTWAD, Gore bought a Falcon BR RF rifle to shoot in our club matches. Had a tuner and just needed a scope. It was marked $1000, but he never pays the asking price.
You guys missed one hell of a show!
