I was wondering if anyone is planning on going to the Valley forge gun show this weekend? Starts on Friday ends on Sunday. And if anyone has gone before how was it? Worth the trip or was it a disappointment? If it was worth it I may try to take a trip there this weekend.

It's Huge show....a lot of stuff guns, accessories You name it it's there. I think it's worth it get there early around noon it's hard to even walk around

I've gone to the Valley Forge Gun Shows a couple of times. It's better than any others that I've been to. IMO, worth the trip from your location.

I intend to be there around 5 o'clock on Friday. Learned through experience that it is well worth the extra $5 to go on Friday. You don't have to fight your way through hundreds of smelly bodies and park a mile from the entrance - all-in-all a more civilized experience. An all-around great show regardless of when you can get there.

 

Adios,

Be there with some guys at around 4 tomo. I get my bonus tommo. Uh oh

Thanks for the information guys. I feel a lot better knowing that you guys went and there was a great deal of items. I'm going to try and get there Sunday, its going to be a weekend trip with my dad just something to do. Its a 50 min trip from my house to the convention center so I'm gonna try and leave early and see whats there.

Got back from the gun show about a half hour ago. They had everything I could ever want in my life time. Came so close to picking up a Mosin on the way out for 85, but just couldn't until I get rid of some other rifles first. All in all lots of fun, and I'm gonna try and go again in June.

There were a TON of Mosins there. They had some M38's that I was looking at for $169 but I couldn't do it.

Same guy I saw. Had a crate of Tula's and down the table had mausers and a couple K-31's. I'm definately going back in June and getting an M91/30. Guy down by one of the doors had 'em for 85 a piece with accessories.

Any deals on Gun safes?? I was wondering if it's worth waiting for a show deal??

You should grap one, they only import 13 crates = 260 M38

He(Dan, is the owner) also had on the table few of them with M38 stock and hard to find years for $209

Alot of dealers were buying from him and marked them up to $300

He also had the best prices on ammo, $389 FOR 1000 ROUNDS .308 Dag, $80 for a tin 7.62x54r

They had a table set up near the entrance after you get past the sponsors and what not but I didn't check them out. If you're fairly close check the show out any way, I had more fun there than I did at the one I went to in Florida, and there were some good deals too. Ended up picking up some 40 rounds of tracer ammo for a friend that couldn't go. Just over all a good time.

I went today. Didn't buy any guns but I grabbed a couple things

 

Mag for a savage model 4c (rifle I have from the 1940's)

Soft pistol case that has 2 mag pouches

Hornady .17hmr vmax for $10.99 a box

.40 federal premium hst for $22.99 for a box of 50

 

I love that ammo guy

Was he the guy way back near the left corner of the convention center? Cause thats where I ended up getting the tracers at. Good price and a TON of choices for anything you need.

$80 for a tin 7.62x54r

Yeah that was gone LONG before I got there. Cheapest I saw was by the guy that wears a top hat and sits on a stepladder by the bathrooms on the right had those cans for $120

I saw the same guy and thought the price was a little high. There were tins here and there but they weren't that much cheaper.

 

As an aside to the current subject of ammo prices, have you guys ever picked up a gun and it just felt like you were meant to have it?

Yeah back left with a big ammo sign. I love that guy! Every show I see him at I stock up. I did see the tracer rounds. My buddy was ammo shopping too so I told him to hold off til he saw that guy. He ended up with 9mm federal premium hydroshocks. But he was out of .45 hydoshocks so he ended up with hornady critical defense. And to top it all off we hit the hooter near the mall on the way home. It was a damn good day

I haven't had that happen yet. I have had the opposite where I look at it and want it and then pick it up and think Nah this isn't for me. That was the SOCOM II

I saw the sign and I thought this guy might not have what I want. Went back and saw like 8 table stacked with ammo and just couldn't help but smile. And way to top off the day with a trip to Hooters. Can't get any better than that.

 

I picked up like 15 different guns and only two caught me like I had to have it and that was a Mosin Nagant and a Bushmaster AR-15. Don't know why but they both just felt right in my hands.

I saw a couple ar-15's with 3 round bursts there for sale. Are the legal in Pa? Or is it a gun show grey area

I would question the 3 shot burst its self. Honestly I wouldn't trust it unless I got it from the manufacturer directly. As for legality I would think you need an ATF tax stamp and a sign off from Law Enforcement or some such procedure.

It is the same as any class III MG.

Totally legal in PA with an NFA tax stamp (and a LOT of cash). Never going to happen in NJ.
