Gun Shows

Turbo2Point4 · Sep 9, 2012

i was just wondering where the best gun shows are, i've only been to one and it didn't seem all that great, it seemed rather small for what i was expecting. my wife and i went to the gun show at mason-dixon auto auction. so what/where in everybodys opinion here are the best gun shows to go to?
thanks

Chantilly VA and York PA.

IN MY OPINION...

The days of the good gun shows are gone. Prices run very close to in store prices, the shows are crowded and the number of non-gun tables keeps getting higher.

I like going to a show once or twice a year to see and handle firearms and accessories that I might be interested in purchasing. By the way, there's one next weekend (15-16 Sep) at the Howard County Fairgrounds.

If I didn't know better I would say that some dealers mark up there firearms 10 to 20 percent at shows.

MIrror Mirror on the wall, what's the best gunshow of all?

Chantilly and Richmond Va.
I really like Richmond. For me the drive is about the same as Chantilly and the prices are better. Chantilly has the MD/DC area crowds and the vendors know it.

I like the Timonium show put on the the Maryland Antique Arms Collectors (I think?)
I don't go to buy anything, just gawk at alot of old great guns.

the chantilly show is great. of course marylanders can't grab n go but usually there is at least one dealer there that will handle maryland xfers. one coming up the end of this month.

Is it possible to sell a pistol at a Maryland gun show?

You can meet a buyer there but the sale must be done via MSP or FFL

true but do you have the time to drive around to every shop and check prices on the item you want.

what the frederick shows like?

Depends on what your looking for. Want old military/civil war items? Go to the Fredricksburg and Richmond shows. Want more modern go to Dulles Expo and Chantilly.
Agree that the good old days are gone from the shows. Used to go early to find deals on unusual and under-priced goodies, and go late to make the last minute "best price so you don't have to pack it up and take it back" deals. Now it's their game, get it today at this price 'cause next time if I can even get it it'll be more $$$! Still a lot of fun though.
