Used to go to that show on a regular basis. Last year, in two attendances, I bought two M1 Garand rifles from private citizens walking around the show. Got both for at least half the price of the low grade junk that the dealer pirates had on their tables.

Except for the $100 Mosin Nagant rifles with bayonets being sold out of the crates, there are few decent deals. It's mostly the same old mundane overpriced crap as last time.

It was noticeable first thing Saturday morning, as the smell of gun oil and Lemon Pledge was slowly overwhelmed by something very weird and very foul.

I've been going to both of the Allentown shows for a couple years now. A month ago at Rodeway was the first time I noticed a lot of people stunk really bad. Now it seems like a trend, just great...

Nah, that's been going on for a long time now, you are just starting to notice it. Trying standing behind the tables for 8 hours and then you really understand how many smelling fucks are out there (especially when one decides they want to yack to you for an hour) .. sheesh
