NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Yeah.. that's the joke

 

When my son was about 20 we were having the finance talk, and he said why do I need to save so much? I have everything I need.
I said, no I have everything you need. You don't have squat! Rude awakening for him.
Then he said, can I have $20. I said $10!! What do you need $5 for!
Omygod. I've become my father....

 

When my sister was about 18 she was super pissed and thought my pops bought me a vehicle my senior year of high school (03 jetta) but he co-signed, I still made the payments. She kept calling me spoiled haha.

 

I've been wanting a 7.62 lwrc but can't really justify the $3000 price tag. It's one of those, I got it to say I have one type guns and a status symbol.

 

That SBR on the far right is an lwrc and so is the full size AR. Such nice rifles.

 

If you're looking for a ar10 style rifle precise shooter in Lynwood has some Alexandria pro fab uppers and lowers that are priced really well. You could assemble a decent one for under $1000.

I'm always in the market for a nice mini 30 ranch rifle while we are taking firearms here.
I'm so disappointed how things have gone in this state, I really miss doing all the puallyup WAC shows.

 

WAC did it to themselves for the shows becoming lamer and lamer. Rather than keep it like a gun show, they just kept letting more and more dealers in and then more and more "non firearms related" tables in. Last time I went was over a year ago for the Puyallup show and left after less than an hour since it was crap. The Monroe one is even worse. Granted Ive only been once to that one and that was only to pick up something from a dealer I had ordered but it was a quarter of the size and had like 2 tables that werent dealer tables.

I think I know a guy who is actually selling a mini 30 though! Ill have to see if he sold it or not for ya.

By the way do you know a good powdercoater in our area? Ive got a frame and lots of other parts I need blasted and powdercoated. Same for body work. Thought you might know someone.

 

I completely agree, it's just such a shame as it was a great event for nearly 60 years. I had a lot of fun getting tables there and meeting people, buying and selling in the hobby. Was fun while it lasted.
I used kitsap powder coaters a lot this summer for parts on my '70 C10 and am very happy with their work. I don't anyone that does body work on this side, I have a buddy that does it near Kirkland, but it's on his spare time and the wait can be long.

 

Yup I used to go with my dad once or twice a year as a kid. Was fun to see older guns and collectables. Now its mostly glocks and new stuff.

Good to hear on Kitsap Powder Coaters. They are actually the company I was already leaning towards so you probably sold me on them!

Body work wise I dont mind waiting for. I'll mostly need the painting side of things as I will do most of the patch work myself (which isnt much to begin with) Just havent heard of any real worth while places so far but I havent dug to deep yet since its a few months away.

 

Just picked up a camp trailer project! M100

 

How much?? And where?

 

$900, found it on CL down in Sumner.

 

Nice find, it's already looking good behind the runner

 

Awsome find! I've been looking for one for years. Is it converted to 12v?

 

Nice Joe!
Had a good day myself, went back up to one of my favorite spots

 

That thing looks so bad ass.

 

@BoatRacer and @velillen
I picked up my MP9 from the Monroe WAC show about 3 or 4 years ago. It was my first and so far only time going to a gun show, and happily enough, my CPL showed up a day or 2 before going. There were many tables that were non gun, like knives and other crap. There were also a few stands that were clothes, but were related to guns, 2nd amendment, that type of thing. It was a pretty weak show for a Saturday.

@GSPRunner you have probably already looked underneath your trailer, but on my utility trailer, it was SUA and I swapped it around to SOA. Took me maybe an hour. Gave me probably about 3-4" lift, which meant space to easily clear larger tires that I probably won't get. If you do this, be ready to get some mud flaps to hang on the wheel covers. Also with lift, a tongue jack usually needs more extension to reach the ground. Amazon has one that fits most jacks and has a pin on it. Link

$32 CURT 28274 Trailer Jack Foot, Fits 2" Diameter Tube, Supports 2000 lbs, 8-1/2-In Height

here. I'm probably going to get one of those for myself soon.

@northwesttaco nice pic. I'll have to try to get out with you sometime and see how long I can keep up to see some of the sights with you.

 

Thanks! It's in pretty nice shape. I've got plans for it but I wouldn't hesitate it to drag it wherever as it is now

Yep, 12v.

Thanks Zach, a SOA flip is planned and I will be matching my SCS F5s and 33" STMaxx

 

Where's that at? Sweet pic
