Will be going, not sure what day yet.

I'm going over first thing Saturday before Maks gets all the good stuff!

I may stop in and buy up all the 45....lol

Mike, what time are you going to be there until? Maybe a few of us can get together and grab lunch? or go walmart ammo hopping.

I just reviewed my receipt from Cheyenne. It cost me $15.99 for a box of 9mm Blazer Brass (50 rounds). Do you guys think I can pick up said ammo for fewer bucks at this gun show? If so, how much would you think I can get said ammo for?

probably, around $12.99 or so. But.....

 

by the show, you have at least 3 walmarts, all bound to have ammo, either 50 round boxes for $11 or so, or 100 round boxes for $22.

Maks. I was planning to get there about noon. But I'm flexible.

Same. The show is close enough that even if it is a total fail, only about 35 mins from my house, and 10 mins from brothers, and a bunch of walmarts, and I do have some free money I got to pick up at the Parx.

probably, around $12.99 or so. But.....

Heck, I work in PA, so I'll go there. I'm hooked to this sport, now, so I'd want to get the largest quantity (better value). Walmart in NJ does not sell ammo?

Nope.

 

As far as quantity, fyi.... they typically limit you to 6 boxes of ammo.

 

Other really good values, and what i mostly buy now is 22lr.

Last time I went to Walmart, in April, they were selling 9mm 50 packs of Federal for $9.47. :handgestures-thumbup:

No kidding!

Mike, what time are you going to be there until? Maybe a few of us can get together and grab lunch? or go walmart ammo hopping.

I'm planning on going on Saturday. Might be going with Pizza Bob. Also thinking about checking out the local Walmarts too. Hopefully there will be enough ammo if we end up all going together.

lets firm up a time tomorrow, or a time to meet.

I'm good for any time between 10-12. I've never been there, so I guess the front door is a good place to meet. I always like LUNCH!

I might bring some of my excess .45/.38 ammo to sell.

 

Mike

im thinking of going as well probably 12ish i have a bbq at 3 in feasterville area and will be with the wifey.

Ok, so 12 noon? another few members expressed interest so that may play a little in time difference.

 

but 12 at the front door sounds good.

 

make sure to print your coupons.

Pizza Bob and I will be there earlier. We'll probably be there between 10 - 11. Probably closer to 10ish.

i just came back, didnt see good deals, Eagle arms was there and they had the 91/30 for $115. I dont know why but in the Allentown show they always drop them to $99. They also had an Hungarian M44 for $300!!!

Ammo was still expensive (9mm for $15) so your are better off going to Walmart.

driving back now. was there with the other guys.

 

got some deals and saw some good values. others were more.

 

msar for 978

yugo sks 325

 

more when I get home.

did you pick up anything?

Ok, back after my long trip.

 

Overall, the show was ok. I last went to this show 1 year ago and forgot how small it actually was. Most of the big players were there, Eagle Arms, Ed's, precision tech, etc.

 

To follow up on Petros's comments, some stuff was marked a bit higher. Chinese type 53's, hungarian m44's etc were $300. Ammo was a bit more as well. the mosin's at eagle arms were marked $115, but saw a 10% off sticker on them.

 

i asked him about it and was told it was partly for two reasons. show was smaller, and the availability of 91/30's was drying up.... alot.... and fast. One cited isntance was when eagle arms called the distributor, they only had 2 crates of 91/30's avail.

 

I think we are close to the point where 91/30's are done. I would not hesistate to pick one up now. They seemed to be in better condition, and still a terrific value.

 

Speaking of value's, SKS's for the most part, were $325 to $350 for Yugo's, and a tad more for the two norinko's I saw. Ed's also had an MSAR (aug clone) for $979. it might of been the older version that does not take the AR mags.

 

Primers were $28 for wolf, $32 for Federal.

 

ammo was expensive, the cheapest 9mm per say was like $13 a box.

 

I did get two good deals for a decent price from Eagle Arms. Picked up an Enfield No 4 Mk 2, and a Sweedish Mauser m/38 in pristine shape.

 

It was very difficult to pass up a stellar deal I was offered on matching Czech capture Mauser 98k's....

 

surprise of the show, er, question mark, was a basterdized? Finn M39. Was in great shape... however the wood stock it looks like was covered in truck bed liner? Blacklightning pointed it out.

 

Miss of the show... I was beat to a Sweedish Mauser m96 by 30 seconds.

 

Next week is a 2 for 1 I believe with two shows in allentown.

 

The show, for $6 is not a terrible way to spend your money. While you are there, visit Walmarts in the area... There are 3 in the area, Bristol, Bensalem, and the new one on rt 13 that is 24/7.

 

I went to the bensalem one and they were full of 9mm ($9.47 a box), 40 S&W. and others. they had no 22lr bricks. did not see 45acp as usual.

Addendum. there were plenty of Primers, powders.

 

No BOOOOOOOOLits though.

I'm thinking of going tomorrow. I'm looking for a Carcano and possibly a decent Trapdoor? Think I will have any luck?

I can't say I recall seeing a Carcano. Sorry. Then again, I wasn't looking for one.

 

At the start of the show I saw a great last ditch Arisaka type -99 marked $175. A few hours later it was sold.

Damn, I probably would have picked that up if I went today.

Maks

I saw the Arisaka but i thought was $275(it even had the dust cover)

I cant believe i missed the Swedish Mauser!!!! What was the price? Pics?I was looking for one. Did you get it from Eagle arms? Cause i was there around 9am and they didnt have enfield's or Swedish Mauser's. The show was too small but i guess if you were able to get some deals was worth it!!

Arisaka was on a rack, towards the center to the left. $175. You sure you didnt see a regular one? This was 100% certain a last ditch. good condition for a last ditch, but not for a regular type 99.

 

The enfield and mausers were in the mosin crates. So I think you probably just passed them by thinking they were mosins.

 

There were 3 crates.... only 1 was full of mosins. :doh:

Here are some pics of the pickups.

 

Anastasia stole the good camera on her trip to nh, so had to bust out my old hp.

they look great!!! Congrats Maks

Maks. How many rifles do you have now?

Maks. How many rifles do you have now?

 

not enough. lol. jk

 

there are still a few that I want that I have not yet picked up.

 

ALOT of my rifles have been surplus, so they are $400 at the most...as opposed to paying $1k for a black rifle.

 

my philosophy, given a choice, I would rather have 10 mosins over 1 ar.
