is this show any good? no one has made any comments about it here. Just wondering.

This show has been going on since the 1960s and has a large number of historical guns, with a smaller assortment of newer stuff, with newer defined as post WW II. They do not allow non-gun/military related vendors, so if you want jerky, pickles etc, you need to come Saturday and go to the Allentown Farmers market right next door, which is well stocked with goodies of all kinds. There will be everything from flintlocks to ARs, ammo, parts, and a section of militaria like uniforms, helmets, and such.

This one of the best "pure" gunshows in PA. There is something for everyone that's into guns. Very limited on reloading and the ink, etc..

If your in to the newest "tacticool" and/or "polymer" firearms you can skip it

This is a great show, I'm annoyed I'm probably going to miss it this time around lol

I will have to see if i can make it. if only to check it out

If you're expecting a flea market like Oaks , stay home. If you're expecting rows of imported AR and AK bling , don't bother.

If ya like guns , ammo , parts and related historical items from the 1700s to the mid-1900s , this is THE show.

Good show, pricey items, you got a good chance at finding some weird old part or bayonet that you want. Kind of a grungey building, but thats part of the charm I suppose.

Pickles and cured meats, along with lunch and such, can be found across the way at the Farmers Market (where they should be) but Saturday only, as it be closed on Sundays.

Just got back. Another great learning experience! Once again , I got to see and hold historic guns I've never seen in person before!:o

It was nice to meet you at the show and put a face to a name.

Thought the show was a little better that the July event. The rain on Sunday really didn't help

See you all again in December !!

Yep , fun shooting the breeze with you and Big Steve! :cool:
