Whats this show like?

 

[4g64loser]

It's big. Unless there is a competing show within two hours travel, it is probably the best place to find the broadest variety of vendors.

 

[JohnnyE]

By way of comparison, the Nation's Gun Show in Chantilly skews more toward modern sporting rifles, whereas the Oaks is more diversified, meaning a lot more arms with wood furniture. It is a really good show. The March show has traditionally been one of their largest, with up to 2,000 tables.

It's in PA and 1500 tables is all I need to say I will be there!

Whats this show like?

Big. Sometimes as much as one whole hall of junk tables. Lots to look at gun wise.

Might go Sunday, should be less crowded due to SuperBowl. Last time I went on Friday and lots of Vendors weren't open.

Oh really? I was thinking about going Fri...

This was back about 4 years ago so it may be different now but lots of empty tables and covered tables. Several Vendors mentioned more vendors would be open Saturday. It was still a nice sized show compared to our local ones. Also driving home Friday night was no joy either.

Last time I went Friday evening was nice

Sunday for the super bowl is a decent idea though. Philly fans will be glued home so might cut the crowd.

Yea, closes on 5 on Saturday so no big difference although I imagine the last hour or so may be folks packing up. My plan is to get there early and be gone in a few hours, I am mainly interested in standard mags for new purchases. Also I don't really want to be in Philly area when the sun goes down, I feel much safer back home in PG .... and that is saying something.

It's well outside of Philly. The area is decent.

Can you carry at this show?

 

[JohnnyE]

No carry. I always see Borough or Township police at the entrances clearing visitors' arms and, IIRC, wire tying them.

 

[smdub]

We went today. Found everything I wanted and quite a bit more. Not crowded at all.
Yes, police at the door ziptying guns.
Edit:
On the milsurp front: there was a partial crate of beat up SKSs for ~$350. Saw a MAS49/56 or two, a Lungman, and Hakim. And about a million $1500+ Garands

 

[Slackdaddy]

Is this the type of show one would find old beat up Marlin 39 lever 22s?
Ruger 44 carbines ?

 

[wreckdiver]

It used to be. Haven’t been since Covid.
