Harrisburg show March 19 & 20

[wbwanzer]

There is a show in Harrisburg on the 19th and 20th. I've never been to this one. Is it better than Carlisle? Worth going?

 

[LARRY]

Does anybody no how many tables there are at that show?

If you are going to drive to Harrisburg and pay 10.00 to park then an entrance fee why not just come to the southern lancaster show the week before 12-13 Mar.
Southern Lancaster County Farmer Sportsmen's Association
742 Hollow Road - Quarryville, PA 17566
we don't charge to park and we have a range to test out the guns you buy. There are usually 1 or 2 Maryland dealers there as well so getting something transfered should not be a problem

 

[Buddy]

Yes there is a show the 19th and 20th. There will be 800 tables.

I went to Southern Lancaster this time last year. Not sure it was worth the drive except to kill a Saturday afternoon and get lunch. Apparently there is more than one Hollow road. I was real lost in the middle of nowhere trying to get there. Then got lost again leaving there. It was raining pretty good too.

Thanks, but I'll pass this year.

 

[wbwanzer]

So, does anybody recommend the Harrisburg show?

 

[lee2]

i've been there several times, its a good show, but the price of parking has put me off.

 

[yellowsled]

I will never go to another harrisburg gun show. They can keep their parking fee! BOOOOOOOOOO

I have found over the years that the York and Harrisburg shows are about equal.....sometimes the York shows are better.....sometimes the Harrisburg shows are better.....seems the best shows are produced by MAAC....just a opinion

 

[Russ D]

Only good for buying Pmags in bulk to offset the parking fee. Otherwise it sucks.

 

[Half-cocked]

$10 just to park?

I hope admission is free, if that's the case.

 

[surplusfan]

Yeah its worth going. Go with a friend split the cost of parking. A ton of tables and a ton of reasons to move to pa (aka a bunch of cash and carry "regulated" firearms). I don't know I love this show and look forward to going to one or two a year.

 

[tatoocrab]

Never been there, sounds like I need to make mag trip

 

[wbwanzer]

I've decided to go. I'll be going with a buddy so we'll be splitting the cost as suggested. It will be something to do and if I don't think it's worth it I don't have to go again.

 

[jessestone]

Planning to go, anyone want to ride up together from Carroll County.....I will be heading up early, need to be back by 2pm, planning to be there at opening.

picked these up there today, yugo sks with too much cosmoline on it and a 1929 tula hex receiver. the nagant was only $99 including all accessory. sks was $319. and also picked up a ak74 mag.

 

[yellowsled]

congrats on your purchases, seems the going rate for those weapons.

Parking was $8 and my first visit to that show. To me the pay to park sucked but the show is good if you find a deal and if you dont it was at least educational. I snoozed on a 20ga 870 wingmstr.... . Nice WWII display. Your milage may vary

I picked up unissued VZ52/57 magazine (7.62x39) complete with pouch for 48 bucks on Saturday. Even with the cost of parking and entrance fee, I made out like a bandit. If you find even one good deal there, the parking fee is negated. I always find it to be an interesting show!
