Butch what’s a good recommendation for a hotel ? Where do most people stay??

It's always a good time. I can't wait to see the new facility and hopefully snatch a new bbl before the hoarders.

The early birds get the best.

I'm having trouble getting that address, or anything near it to come up on Google maps in Ennis. Can you clarify the location?

Never mind, found it.

They always have. Surplus barrels are wheeled out in carts. You ought to see the grown men racing and grabbing to see what calibers and twists are in the cart before they're all gone. They usually have a small stock of AR barrels and contoured blanks on hand as well.

My favorite part is talking to the employees as they drill, ream, button rifle, lap, and air gauge the barrels being produced. Their chamber reamer library is pretty impressive. They go out of their way to answer your questions.

I'm looking forward to seeing the new facility. And a swap meet to boot.

Good people watching for sure.

We usually stay at the Quality Inn which is just south of Shilen's new shop. I hope they get their sign up. It is the Kaufman exit off I45 and I believe it is the first crossove of I45 north of Hwy 34 that goes through Ennis.
