    I’m still waiting on distributers to ship, so look for us to be fully stocked at this show! Mags, ARs, old military rifles and pistols, new hand guns, and so much more!

    What a bust. I hadn't been to a gun show (York or elsewhere) in several years. I figured I'd try this one again (rainy day, so I couldn't play outside).
    Lots of "miscellaneous" stuff (targets, no-name optics, food, clothing, etc.), and lots of overpriced guns. I wasn't impressed. The only thing that made it worthwhile was talking to a vendor about 80% guns; he was pretty knowledgeable.
    And a number of empty tables.
    I didn't see many people doing firearms paperwork, although I was only there a couple hours.
    I have to wonder how many of these vendors actually turn a profit after factoring in drive time, setup and breakdown time, being there the entire weekend, plus gas, and show fees.
    Not a business I'd want to be in.
    Probably it for me for gun shows for the foreseeable future.

    the show was light as many dealers had completely sold out of inventory last weekend at Oaks and since the holiday fell in the middle of the week, nothing they ordered had been delivered by show time. I ordered pistols on Monday after Oaks and they arrived on Friday just hours before I left to set up. I was busy all weekend and moved lots of guns, mags, and bayonets...but not all dealers had the same luck. The show was decent overall and lots of great to people to talk to. the business side of things is tough right now. markups are 6% on new rifles, and you always have some meatball who wants to buy a $500 gun for $350.....I guess lots of people think we make tons of money doing this...but in reality those who are competitive (not outrageously priced) are literally just scraping by and paying bills. the high priced guns don't sell, and the guys like me who compete with internet and local pricing are only making $25 per gun....you have to sell a boat load of guns to pay for tables, gas, tolls, hotel rooms, meals, and more. the thing that makes me hot is when someone comes to the table and asks for a 20% to 30% discount on my price when im already well below every other dealer at the show. if you know its a good deal...buy it. don't be a dick and ask or expect to get even more off of that price.

    It pains me to have to miss this one as I made a prior business commitment for that weekend. Rats!
