Valley Forge Gun Show ?

[ajtesq 11]

I was thinking about going to the Valley Forge Gun Show this weekend. Anyone else going? I'd like to hear njgf member opinions if you've been there before.

 

I'm mostly looking to see if I can get any bulk ammo deals, cheaper mags, that sort of thing.

[Pizza Bob 1,488]

Heading over Friday afternoon. Experience has taught me that the extra $5 admission fee ($15 vs. $10) is a bargain which allows you to actually be able to move, once you're inside.

 

Several ammo vendors and T & T reloading will also be there. The VF show is the show to attend if you only go to one. Enjoy.

 

Adios,

 

Pizza Bob

 

PS: Here's a $1 off coupon

Thanks Pizza Bob. Have you, or anyone else, found better deals on bulk ammo there compared to online / ammoengine?

I intend on going regardless since I've never been to a gun show. That and I hear there is good beef jerky sold at the shows

[vjf915 456]

I have to agree with Bob. I have only been to 4-5 gun shows, but Valley Forge was by far the biggest and best show.

Just like anything you have to shop and know what you are looking for / what constitutes a good deal. Before the last VF show I bought 1K rounds of Federal AE 9mm 124 gr locally. I beat everything I found at the show by $15 to $20, so it depends.

 

Can't comment on the jerky - not a jerky kinda guy (although some on here may disagree ).

 

Adios,

im considering, probably Fri instead of Sat. I hear on Sat/Sun, the aisles are PACKED and you cant move.

[Kaiser7 33]

Awww... Man that sounds cool, I wish I knew, though Friday I'm done at 2.... Man I gotta find some one to go with lol.

[jonny.montana 48]

I'm going there... Driving from North Jersey...

Union county.. somebody wants to go, we can go in one car... let me know...

 

Sounds like fun

 

Still trying to figure out the date that I'm going...

[jonny.montana 48]

Going tomorrow.

[CageFighter 236]

Going tomorrow.

 

if u wanna carpool, let me know. we can split the fuel/tolls.

[Mr.Shoot_It_All 13]

I'm in hackensack north jersey and interested in going carol still open. Where are you departing from

[bry@n 195]

I may be taking the ride tomorrow. Me and my daughter were planning on shooting.

[Kaiser7 33]

If anyone is going from South Jersey, like, Camden County let me know, I'm done work at 2, and want to go Friday, but I'm afraid of driving out there by myself, since I'd be worried I'd get lost. I'll split fuel/ tolls of course.

[jonny.montana 48]

Ok I'm going with CageFighter, I can fit 2 more people in my car... We are leaving tomorrow around 1:00pm to 1:30pm from Elizabeth, NJ...

 

Anyone else?

[Mr.Shoot_It_All 13]

Jonathan. Safe place to leave my car by you? What time would you guess we would be back

[jonny.montana 48]

Yeah I live in a nice area... Well tomorrow is until 8pm and im guessing about 1:30 min to 2 hours coming back latest we should be back by 10pm... and also at that time, should be no traffic...

[Mr.Shoot_It_All 13]

Their website says that you can sale your unwanted guns at the show. Can an individual actually do that legally?

[bry@n 195]

PA people can do that. AS a NJ resident, you can't.

 

 

 

 

 

I will be going this afternoon, as the weather seems to suck so....

[PK90 3,573]

???

 

Can't a NJ resident sell to a dealer at the show?

 

Let us not get into the whole transporting discussion.

 

 

[bry@n 195]

Sorry, was thinking more along the lines of a private sale.

 

I would think being it was a different state, the gun would need to be transferred through a ffl. I could be wrong though.

[CageFighter 236]

Im OUT! Wifey f**ks up my plans tonight & tomorrow! WTF!!

[AntZ 1]

Do they have scopes at the show?

[vjf915 456]

They have just about everything at this show. I would recommend going if you can get the time.

 

I went today with Bob, Andy, and one of Bob's friends. Had a blast. The "road trip" was fun, and I picked up a Daniel Defense LPK for $85. A good time was had by all.

So a typical valley forge show? a bunch of tables and fairly normal to high prices? with a few deals here and there?

 

Will probably go tomorrow.

[Mr.Shoot_It_All 13]

show was great prices were average nothing outlandish in either direction. i picked up some reloading supplies, 3 used german sig mags for my 226, a sig cleaning mat, blackhawk sportster holster, magazine holder, stickers, some ammo, some other random stuff as well. i went with john and had a great time, we met this guy that sells body armor who was real nice and will do custom fits and had great gun show pricing, it was fun and a sizeable show good bit of variety.

[AntZ 1]

Lucky for you guys. I came back very disappointed. Maybe I was expecting too much.

[petros600 12]

i went on Friday with couple friends, there was few good deals but you still have the usual oddball prices, ex:$900 for a Russian SKS, $850 for a WASR-10

I got some Yugo 8mm(70's), Portuguese 8mm, German DAG(200 rnds for $79) and (2) Yugo M57 crates(just the crates, no pistols)

Eagle Arms 2 mosin crates with 3-5 Mosin's 91/30 inside.

[junkmanted 54]

Oh crap I was going sunday

 

petros600 went today so I wont bother going all the good deals are gone
