I've never attended a gun show even though I've been actively shooting for 20 years. I see there's one Sept 12-13 in Allentown, PA. Is this worth going to? I'm mainly interested in ammo, primers, powder, bullets. Any good deals?

I went last year and, from what I saw, they charge premium prices for reloading stuff at the gun show.

 

 

This signature is AWESOME!!!

I maybe going from No Jersey.

Eagle Arms shows aren't bad. I'm not familiar with Allentown so I don't know if it is one.

 

Depending on location, Split Rock is jersey accessible and good.

Allentown has 2 shows one at the Agroplex, and one at a hotel. The Agroplex is the larger show usually. There are deals to be had at times if you really hunt for them. Still a cool way to spend an afternoon.

this one is at the econolodge, smaller tighter show, deals are had if you know what your looking for and know what things go for. There's always the rapist but there's always the good guy too.

They have therapists at gun shows? Wow!

The econo lodge shows aren't awful. If you're looking for reloading supplies you'll pay a premium but no hazmat.

 

Other than that there are a few deals but few and far between.

They have therapists at gun shows? Wow!

What they need is showers. Especially Rodeway/Econolodge.

I'll be there. Bachelor party for my future brother inlaw. Starting at the gun show, then back to his family's property for a day of shooting and then dinner and drinks.

 

I think I'm going to like this guy.

Picked up a nondescript carry bag for AR ($35) and UTG Drop In Rail with all the covers ($65) plus $8 admission fee.

 

Looked at a few 22 rifles and shotguns but nothing that really screamed "DEAL" to me. There were many vendors with powder but didn't look at prices and I don't reload (yet) so don't know how good of deals they were or were not.

 

Vendor I bought UTG rail said it was very slow. I was there from about 10-11:30.
