Harrisburg Gun Show 9-21-13?

[Louie]

I've seen the advertisement on this event. But I've noticed there has been no mention of it here. Has this show gone knives and rubber band guns?

Last time I was there it was the height of the "buy 30 round mags" panic. They gouged me $5 to park and about that much to get in. Once in it was nothing but price gouging.

That being said, this year parking is supposedly free and the panic has begun to subside. As for "knives and rubber bands", all the shows seem to have some of that crap anymore. Harrisburg is not as bad as the ones put on by Appalachian Promotions, though. There is always tons of gun stuff to peruse and buy, even for Maryland residents.

Meeting my brother in law there on Sat. It's is a gun and knife show at the Farm Complex, it's free parking from what I hear from the promoter (Mid Atlantic Arms Collectors, MAAC). I'll take some pics and post them.

Traditionally, the MAAC shows in Harrisburg have been great. The pisser is paying to park.
If you have been to a York show, Harrisburg is comparable, just another 30-40 minutes on I-83

I think my son and I will go to this one instead of Timonium. Does this show start at 9:00?

Yes, the show starts at 9. I'd get there early though because of the line. I am planning to arrive around 8.

Shopping for a parts kit for my new Nodak Spud AKMS receiver and LPKs for my AR lowers

Thanks! We were going to go to Timonium, but because of the October 1st date looming ever closer, I think that show might be crazy. I'm hoping the craziness stays south of the PA line.

We are here setting up now. It is in the old building. The parking for the gun show is free. There are other events this weekend that have paid parking, but the gun show parking is free!!!

It's not the show of old. I'll wait for Chantilly

That's what I was wondering worth the drive?

 

[planktonadbc]

This was a nice show.

 

[Bertfish]

It was a good show. Ammo prices were decent, AR accessories have come down in price. Saw plenty of PMags and Magpul equipment for fair price. 5.56 is still sky high.

Personally I picked up 1000 rounds of Wolf 7.62, 440 of surplus 7.62x54R, and some Prvi 5.56 in the white boxes

Primers and powder? That's my main focus.

 

[Lostinbmore]

The back wall was nothing but reloading supply and powder. I don't know what other components they had.

On the other far wall there was a guy selling bushmasters for 799 otd.

I picked up 2 eotec's and some mags. I almost bought some .45 and .556. Decided to keep my money and buy a lower and maybe a ruger Blackhawk of I find one in .45 lc

I second that, saw tons of primers and reloading supplies.

Don't try to buy 22. $50/500 average price

Live 3 miles from Timonium but passed and went to Harrisburg.A nice show-hadn't been in a few years-picked up a Tavor for $1860 OTD- worth the drive for me.

Wow. Don't like paying for anything, heh??
Gouging--that's funny.

The Harrisburg show has always ranked up there with the York show.

I bought some powder and primers from T & T down at the end of the building at "fair" prices for today. We found some .22 ammo for $35/500 and bought 2 boxes. I'm not crazy about the price, but it was cheaper than I've seen. My son found some 5.7 for $22/50. He bought the entire 9 boxes. I'm glad I went, it was a nice show. If only I had more money.....
