Jim Thorpe Gun Show Jan 28 & 29, 2012

Pardon me if this sounds like bashing , but most of the Commonwealth Target shows are pitiful at best. Don't even go to the Sellersville VFW show anymore and that's real close. The only one that seems to be halfway decent is the Leesport Farmers Market , but thats a 45mi ride for me.

Dad & I were vendors at the Jim Thorpe show.

Yes, the hall had space for more vendors. It was the first show by a different promoter, so he'll need time to "develop" it. I encourage those of you with a decent selection of guns who are interested in "trading" to get a few tables next show. It's a nice hall, good parking, and a well-lit room.

We did OK selling and buying. We had a decent selection of guns (about 40) and related items, including sporting arms, a few military arms, scopes, miscellaneous ammo, a bunch of scopes, mounts, parts, and a few of my guitar items (I sold a killer Marshall amp there).

FYI, the guys selling M1 Garands have only top-notch items. They don't have plain-Jane CMP guns or anything with eroded barrels. If you want a nice one, they're your source. A&S Arms in Silverdale, PA 215-453-5977 appointment only. They'll be at Sellersville Feb 18-19.

Support the show - it was decent, and it will only get better!
