Oak, PA Gun Show - What to expect

[DTtuner 21]

Has anyone ever been to this show? I've actually never been to a true gun show (went to an antique guns how in NJ).

 

Will I be able to buy any firearms from private sellers?

Licensed sellers, I know any purchase will have to be shipped to my ffl.

How about ammo?

Has anyone ever been to this show?

No but I'll be there working the NJ2AS booth on Sunday.

 

Will I be able to buy any firearms from private sellers?

Yes, as long as you have it transferred to a NJ FFL. No face-to face transactions.

 

How about ammo?.

 

Buy as much ammo as you want. No restrictions.

There will be vendors. You can buy long guns and walk out with them but handguns will have to be transferred to a NJ dealer. I don't think there will be private sales to the best of my knowledge. Ammo, have at it. Heard ammo at gun shows is like gunbroker

I went to last one and was crowded.

 

Expect to walk alot because its huge. Expect inflated prices on everything, especially ammo

 

It is fun tho just to see all the history

[mipafox 438]

There are private sales everywhere in PA.

 

But an NJ resident needs a longun to go through an FFL in either PA or NJ and handgun at NJ FFL. There are generally no private sales between unlicensed/SOT residents across state lines under federal law.

Is it worth it to go for ammo? Don't wanna drive all the way out there to see crazy prices.

[ogfarmer 138]

well at all the the gun shows the past weekends since december and it all has been crazy prices, 800-900 per 1000 of 223/556. even other calibers are high

 

gun shows are not the places for deals anymore on ammo.. because everyone and their mother is looking for the same thing and people are willing to pay

[ogfarmer 138]

the last oaks show was the weekend of sandy hook, i believe and it was a mad house

[ogfarmer 138]

my suggestion is to just go and have fun because you never know what you will find, if nothing then you got some exercise and saw cool stuff

[johnp 45]

IF there is any ammo for sale, expect outrageous prices.

 

The panic is not yet over, and supplies are still hard to come by. I would honestly save the gas money and put it into your gun piggy bank.

[The_Matrix 105]

If you want to go for fun...go for it.

 

If you want to buy stuff....wait until at least the Fall 2013.

I went to the one after sandy hook, it was super packed. I look at it as a reason to get out of the house for a day. If i find something, great. If not, oh well, at least I got out of Jersey for day!!

i was there in Dec. you're going to hear this a lot, "Are you a Jersey Resident?" from any vendor you talk to. Because i'm a Jersey resident they all told me no AR's, no pistols, no rifle with a pistol grip. At the time, the ammo was a little pricey. can't imagine what it is now. That was my experience. There is a lot to see. cool show to go to.
