Chilliwack Gun Show
- Thread starter Undergiver
- Start date
Matt was going to go but he feels getting married is more important. Priorities all screwed up, IMO.
Give him Sat off to get hitched, then back to work bright and early Sun!

bout the same always good deals at CanAm, the part that bugs me about the 2 day show is when you see some guys jack their prices WAY up when you have come across there tables at the burnaby show for much lower.........however no registry this year So......those impulse buys may get the better of me now that i wont have to wait to take the gun home as far as long guns go.....damn.

The CHILLIWACK HACS 2 day show ( March 9th & 10th ) is the premier gun show in the lower mainland guys. The ONLY way you will be disappointed is if you miss it.

Nice..If Peter is at the show I can have a go at him for not letting me know about some re-loading gear or answering my email about importing some items

Apparently they sold out 575 vendor tables for the two day show. That is two huge barns at the Herritage center fully sold out.
Link to the flyer is here http://www.hacsbc.ca/assets/PDF/Hacs_2dayshow12.pdf
They generally have Military displays of equipment and vehicles PLUS lots of old antique guns, new/modern guns, ammunition, gun parts galore, reloading gear and supplies out the wazoo.
The really cool thins is all the gate proceeds go to a charity of HACS choice each year. Generally some children's cancer fund or similar one.

Exactly, I wish they would hold those guys until the last week to make sure all the gun guys get a chance.

Because I also have that sarcastic sense of humor I did chuckle at your comment but in defence of the show if you sift thru all the junk there are some good deals there, huge selection of used firearms. I go every year and can easily spend an entire day looking. If you are looking for a hard to find part for an older firearm there is a good chance it will be there. I heard the show will be bigger than ever this year? can anyone confirm this?

Yes confirmed a sell out of 575 vendor tables at the show - both large barns will be full with goodies. that is the most tables to date. Apparently they are looking to rent the third building for next year based on demand for tables.
See you there

Tilley hats - http://www.tilley.com/default.aspx
I have 3 or 4. Great hats. Lifetime guarantee BUT do wash them a few times a year as sweat will rot the sweatband. I have gone through a couple of hats by forgetting to wash them. Pay attention to the sizing instruction. As I recall they suggest buying them a little larger than your notmal hat size. When washing, remove the foam insert and plastic bag with instructions from inside the crown/top. Several colours available. Some have dark underside of brim for reducing reflection from water. From snow as well, but then one's ears will have frozen and fallen off. ;-)
