April 4, 2020

2501 North Interstate Highway 45 Ennis, TX 751119



Please post the enclosed flier in a visible location and help to pass the word. ANYONE can come and ANYONE can be a vendor. There are NO entry or vendor fees and we will persevere RAIN or SHINE! There will be gun stuff everywhere, buy and sell as much as you like. There will be complementary lunch as always.


**See Barrel Making in process! A small crew will run machines from 8am to 11am and answer questions you may have about the process.

**Sign up for Drawings – There will be a table set up with a large sign-up chart that automatically enters you in drawings for free or discounted Shilen apparel or merchandise. This drawing is open to Vendors and Attendees. FIVE drawings will be held between 9am and 1pm. Find that table and get signed up!

** “Swap Meet Barrels” will be put out at 8:00am!! Swap Meet Barrels are barrels from J’s Rack that were originally ordered by our customers throughout the year that were either canceled or the customer changed their mind on contour, chamber, etc., we place these barrels in J’s Rack to assign to orders as needed but anything still remaining in stock will be sold at unbelievable discounts to our Swap Meet Customers Only! Please note that these barrels are in NO WAY factory “seconds” or any lower quality than what we produce everyday here at Shilen Rifles. The warranty on these barrels is the same as any of our barrels!


**Have stuff to get rid of? BYOT (Bring your own table) – Everyone has stuff to clear out to make room for more stuff. Anything gun related; presses, reloading, triggers, scope rings, doesn’t matter how big or how small someone’s here looking for it. Space is available on a first come first served basis. Vendors may start setting up at 7am. Vendors will be able to pull their vehicle up and set their table up behind it or drop their tailgate. Shoot us an email to get on the website vendor list. There is an exclusive Vendor Drawing at 1pm, you must be present to win and FIVE vendor names will be drawn.

**HOST – We just host this thing, people come and go as they like, we start early and don’t run late. Once things are gone, they are gone so if you are looking for something particular get here early and find it quick! Keep an eye on the website Swap Meet page to get an early look at some of what will be here.

Please see the attached flier for time and date, YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS THIS ONE!!



See you here,

Team Shilen

I got there late last year plan to be a little earlier this year

Tag for a reminder.

Yep, 8:15 is late for this one. The barrels go fast.

I set up to sell ammo a few years ago. A big crowd comes out to these. I hope the weather is nice!

can yo sell guns there? Might be able to sell my Seekins to one of those rich guys???

So, would barrels be about 40-50% of list?

More like 25%-40% in my experience. The higher percentage ones will be oddballs.

On the look out for AR-15, 6.5 Grendel, which they make.

EEEEEEExcelent!!!!

Yes. They sell everything. Shilen also has all their in stock barrels for sale. They also have some of their "off" barrels for sale. Even their seconds shoot good from a build someone did with it on a hunting rifle. There are many vendors that set up and sell here also.

I read on their information page that the swap meet barrels were not "seconds", but first quality that were not delivered to the ordering customer and carried full warranty?

Ok. A few years ago they had some "seconds" barrels for sale. They were about 1/3 to 1/2 price. But mainly they had customer barrels that were not picked up. A lot of them were pre-chambered and barrel blanks.

What action vendors typically come?

Dale Troutt with Stiller is normally there. He had some smokin' deals on some actions last time. There was a large turn at the last meet I went to.

If I remember correctly last year they were $775 or 795. I bet they had 75-100 actions there for sale.

Kelbly was there w showing actions but I don’t know if they were actually seeking actions at the show. They were setting up as I was getting ready to leave, so I didn’t see their full setup/display.

Thanks
