I spent a bunch of time talking w/ the NJ2AS guys at the booth. Unfortunetly they will be breaking down and not returning due to lack of response from their volunteer request they sent out. They did manage to get a few new members and some donations. I ran into a bunch of NJ folks but none were forum members of even knew of it or NJ2AS.

 

Mosin galvanized cans were $89 at the ammo guy in back corner

All guns are checked at the door and zip tied

 

Oh really?

 

Most people I know carry loaded at this show, all Eagle shows, and all gun shows in general. Thanks for the incorrect information.

Pics?

From which vendor did you get it?

 

I got 91/30 sniper for a steal will post later

incorrect info?, At the entrance theres a table and troopers inspecting firearms to make sure their unloaded. Maybe since your against going lately then your not up on current procedure. Not looking to argue, just stating the procedure thats in place now since I was there.

I was with a friend (last year one of the oaks) who was asked when we walked in to pay if he had any firearms.... To which he without thinking twice said "just my concealed"... They then asked if he was le... When he said no... They said everyone aside from Le have to go through "that" line where they the uniformed Leo cleared,zip tied ,and handed it and mag and +1 back....maybe he just got unlucky ... As they didn't ask me who was next in line ..nor have I ever been asked... Lol

I will post pics later, I gota go out. He was a guy selling ammo by the bathrooms near entrance. He had two, a round and a hex. I got the 1938 round one, I was blinded by matching numbers and all. That I didn't notice the different receivers till later in day, when I went back to pick mine up to leave. I saw the other guy who got the hex. I talked to him for a bit, he was from Bridgewater People were offering him 2x what he payed. Mine is in better shape and has matching bayo to boot. his didnt

, and his bore was a little beat compared to mine. So I guess I did fairly well

OK, let me spell it out for you.

 

No, nothing has changed since last time I was there.

 

There is no procedure to check people for guns, only to check guns offered up by people.

 

Almost everybody carries loaded anyway.  Including almost everybody I know. It has always been this way. And the last time I was going to gun shows was less than 6 months ago. 

 

I have gone to gun shows with a few people that were OC and did not have a BUG and decided to clear their OC at the table and had no BUG.  That is the exception, not the rule.

 

I am not trying to make a point here, I am drawing upon 5 years of experience.  Most people that carry, carry in gun shows.  And, that includes the dealers.  Even though dealers I know either are require to have special insurance (and do not) or are not allowed to carry at all, they carry the same as most people do.

 

Oaks?  I guarantee at least 10% of the people are armed and loaded.  Probably more.

 

It's higher at the shows up here.

And that's why I feel safest at gun shows

anyone go? any good surplus deals?

I didn't see any good surplus deals as far as I was concerned. Everything is up in terms of price, especially ammo.

 

As far as the rest of the show, was rather disappointed at the size as well as I don't think they had 1000 tables there because they really only filled the one hall.

 

However I will say that I was happy that I got the chance to handle the Tavor finally. Didn't really do anything for me but I would have to shoot it to get a real idea of whether I truly liked it or not.

 

However what I definitely did not like was the price they were asking for the Tavor. $2400!!! Jeez!!! I'd rather walk down the row and see if I could get the guy selling the KRISS Vector to make it NJ legal and sell it to me for $1800 he was asking for...

I am selling a NJ legal Kriss Vector in the selling section. Just posted it Last night.

Mipa - you are wrong. There were several LE walking up and down the line to get in clearly stating 'ALL FIREARMS MUST BE CHECKED - GO INTO THE LINE TO THE RIGHT' - the did not differentiate between concealed carry and firearms for sale.

 

Something HAS changed since the last time you were there. If people choose not to check their concealed firearm they are in violation of the show rules.

One vendor was selling Wolf 7.62x39 for .30 a round and he had half a table of wolf primers of several types. He had several pallets of different calibers of wolf ammo for guys that don't mind steel. I picked up a M44 for $125.

there were soooo many mosins spread around, some real cherrys and some beaters,

You are both misunderstanding what Mipafox is saying. Those who voluntarily allow the cops to unload their firearm are not carrying, but there are plenty of people who choose to not be disarmed so instead just walk through and say nothing. There are no pat-downs or metal detectors, they only know you are CC-ing if you tell them.

 

 

Back on topic. There was absolutely nothing there today, probably the smallest turn out(vendors) I have seen at the Philly complex place. Overpriced guns and ammo. Not worth the drive IMHO.

Damnit all. I meant to pick up some of those targets. I forgot to go back.. Does anyone know if they have a website?

If anyone is going on Sunday and wouldn't mind doing me a favor, would you pick up a few spam cans of 7.62x54R? I'd really appreciate it!

 

I just bought my Mosin but shipping on ammo is a pain

Yup. Nothing has changed. Always been state cops at this show since Eagle took it over a few years ago.

 

Most people I know simply don't check their guns unless OC. That applies to all shows where "firearms must be unloaded." I go with one guy that carries OWB, unconcealed. In the winter he doesn't check it because he has a jacket. In the spring he checks it but doesn't check his BUG LOL. So he checks his primary and carries his secondary. It's ridiculous.

Anyone there today?

pics of the 91/30 sniper I got yesterday http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/55110-9130-russian-sniper/

I bought half a case of the 7.62x39 from him - need it for the upcoming hi-power rifle clinic at CJRPC this month

Wast bad me and my two buddies got 91/30s and two spam cans. Could not find the reloading supplies we were after but sold a .22 brick which ended up paying for my share of the spam cans. Random accessories and a bumper sticker rounded off the day. Worthwhile trip but definitely not up to the usual standards of size and scope of the show.

That makes sense.I could overpay $20 for a 50 round box of 9mm right now. Overpaying $20 for a Mosin and then overpaying $20 for a can of several hundred rounds of ammo is a pretty darn good deal at the moment.

You'd overpay more than 20 for the 9mm

I know I am late to posting here for this....but I had a few problems getting on the website for awhile for some reason. I digress....I was at the show on Saturday, got there fairly early by 9:30am. I bought 1000 case of PMC Bronze .223 for $528+tax. Not great, but not too bad considering. I saw it going for $800-900 at other tables. People kept asking me where I got it and would I sell it.  I passed on it. The bitch was having to carry it around the .223 for three hours!! Oompha! Now, .22lr was a bitch to find. I saw one place that had a brick for like $89. I also bought a couple of ammo cans.

 

The AR prices were still high, but were coming down from 2 months ago. No Stag Arms anymore for $2700!

 

I will have to admit the show was not as big or as crowded as when I went a couple of months ago. It was also in a different convention hall than last time.

this past one was in the original hall, the one before this one was in a alternate hall because of the boat show.

 

next time ask the guy you bought ammo from to hold for you with your name till your ready to go, most will do that for you,

I asked him to do that and he said "No" because he couldn't guarantee that someone else wouldn't sell it? Huh? I guess he was telling me the other people working at his table would sell it on me.

I haven't hit the bigger shows in months. I'm not into waiting for an hour to get in just to see ridiculous prices. I may attempt the next one though
