feb 27th and 28th tri-county gun show york fairgrounds

[24/7dude]

my first gun show as well, im currently looking for an AK or AR, am i better off waiting for the show or checking out a local dealer? Do gun shows usually have better deals??

Most local dealers that stock AR's/AK's will be there. Walk around the whole show first before/if you buy. I'm sure you could find a good deal on one there.

I'll be there Saturday morning, after the line goes away.

really good show. i usually go to most show on sunday. smaller crowds, some dealers will be more willing to make deals to get rid of products.

Thanks a lot. This will be my first show. SAR will be my 2nd shortly after my 21st b-day. too bad I'll be broke.

I've never been to this one. Is it stupid crowded? I mean looking over 6 shoulders to see whats on a table and whatnot?

Would a later time in the Saturday the best time?

have never gone on a saturday. i always go sunday morning when doors open. usually not too crowded for me.

I've been to this show at least a dozen times. It is the best show around the area. They learned that they need to expand the aisles and the last few show were much better walking around. I usually go on Sat morning.
Remember, all prices are negotiable. As others noted, walk around and check out everyone's prices. If you see something you REALLY like, ask the guy if he will hold it for you (maybe for $20) for an hour while you walk around. I've made some really good deals. However for those looking for AK and ARs, the prices are usually a little higher than I have found on some websites (but then you have to ship). Classic Arms has Yugo AKs for $369....as a comparison.
Oh, and if this is your first gun show....take cash!

this show is a good one. it might get a little crowded on saturday, but remember...the deals are gone by sunday morning!!!

They were ridiculously crowded last year leading up to the election. I doubt it will be as bad this year. Of course, how close they set up the tables has a lot to do with it too. They need to realize that there are a lot of bacon eaters in south central PA. LOL
