    Anyone want to play hooky and go?1700 tables.

    It's a 3 day show. Surely everyone can find some time to go to one of the best gun shows in this area. I like to go, just to talk to the folks that were vendors at the MD shows back in the day. Dennis Todd and his wife are always my favorite folks to talk to. I've known them for25 years. If you want mags, this is the place to find whatever you want. Ammo and reloading supplies are available too.

    I want to go but with all the work on the house and taking off next Saturday for the John Brown trip I'm probably hosed

    Tell the wife if she lets you go, then you will take her to the Gemarama held there in November.

    They hold a lot of shows there and some are pretty cool. There's a rock and roll show, a guitar show, a vintage toy show, all sometime this fall too.

    A lot of shows if your interested.

    I always try to hit the bigger Oaks shows, and usually end up getting something from Dennis and Jenny. Finish things off with a genuine cheesesteak, and it's a good day.

    I'm already playing hooky that day for something else.:rolleyes: I'll be lucky if I can make it over the weekend. If you've never been to one of these big shows, I think it's definitely worth the drive just to see it.

    Wonder if there will be any 80% lowers available....

    Can't say for sure, but you are talking 1700 tables. Probably a pretty good chance. But why pay the inflated prices at a gun show. You can buy them and have them shipped right to your house, probably cheaper than buying at a gun show.

    All the 80% lowers I've seen at gun shows over the past year are the same price at shows as online. Shipping probably less than driving to N. Philadelphia area

    I was there for a couple of hours this morning, but I didn't spot you... It didn't seem excessively crowded, I thought it would be worse.

    As you said it wasnt crowded BUT what I liked was almost ever dealer I passed had someone filling out paper work for a new firearm :) . Not to be profiling but the one dealer had a muslim woman with a hijab (or what ever you call it) on and she wouldnt show the dealer her face

    My son had to cancel. His wife had a really bad case of morning sickness when she woke this morning. So I didn't make the drive.

    Thanks for looking for me.

    I saw her heading in as I was walking back to my truck. :shocked4:

    Then I wouldn't sell to her, or him, who knows if face was covered.

    It was probably a dude....
