I was afraid of that. I think this is the same show that was in Allentown several months back. Lots of junk and Nazi memorabilia. Very disappointing. Guess I'll skip it.

Re: Gun Show 8-29/30 Oaks, PA
Although it wasn't the worst show I have gone to, this show ranks pretty high on my "I can't believe I wasted hard earn money for the this show" list. Too many knick-knack vendors and not enough gun dealers. Plus it's $10 to get in. I don't mind paying for admission, but $10 for this show is extortion.

I just got back. I picked up an ammo can ($10), Gadsden flag ($10), three Magpul AR mags ($12.95 ea). Very few in attendance. Not many deals, but not that bad of a show. I'm somewhat glad I went, just to be able to see stuff without being jostled by a huge crowd.

Just got back from the show. It was ok. Kind of small for a $10 admission fee. Not crowded at all. I guess that's better than fighting to get through the crowd that is usually at the Valley Forge show, constantly bumping elbows and shuffling feet to move a few inches at a time.
I'm not sure why there was a salesman for a bathroom remodeling company there. Someone should have told him it was a gun show, not a home show. Maybe he figured a wife or girlfriend would allow a guy to buy a new gun if she got a new bathroom?

This show hasn't been getting very good reviews, may not be too long before it is gone....and that is a sad state of affairs for the gun guys and a victory for the gun haters. Promoter needs to work on turning it around.

I bought some powder there on Sunday. Yeah, the $10 entrance fee almost made me leave but since I was already there- what the hell.
Very disappointed on the lack of vendors. Not many people buying there either.
I also didn't like the parking area, weird set up. I won't go again.

Wow, was I the only one who bought something? I mean, I know it was small, but it wasn't THAT bad, was it?
