My son and I have been going to this show for years. We are typically there early for the Members-Only opening time. This was the smallest show I've seen - still lots of tables and items but the small room, especially, was missing tables and some of the "regulars" were noticeably absent. Still, a worthwhile visit if you are interested in historical firearms, need some ammo or collect military militaria. A mix of more recent items - scopes, modern rifles, knives, flashlights, etc.

Some of the regulars were no doubt at either Bloomsburg or Monroeville shows this weekend. Poor timing on the part of promoters, but some don't care. Used to be that a show in Pittsburgh didn't affect a show in Allentown, but several dealers who frequent Allentown were in Monroeville this weekend, and I'm sure some were in Bloomsburg.

Up to $10.00!?

This one always used to be $6.00 IIRC.

It's been $7 since at least 2004 when I moved back here and went to a show. Membership is $25/year and gets you in 30 minutes early on Saturday. If you go to at least 3 of the shows it's more than worth the price.

I got my first rifle at the FDHAS show when I was 12 - the shows used to be in Easton.

It has been $10 for a couple of years now.
