Jun 28/29 PA gun Shows Which one?

From the looks of it I'm guessing the flea market and the gun show are at the same complex? I've never been to any PA gun shows but I'm thinking that will change.

Ya the farm show complex is massive. It's close to 60 acres indoors. It's where they have the eastern sports show. You could have the gun show and flee market inside and not be anywhere near each other.

I'm from Harrisburg.
For decades, the farm show complex was the largest building in the country. Take Timonium fairgrounds and put it all under one roof; including the racetrack and parking lot- that is a rough guesstimate of the size of the place.

Any recon on the shows?

Harrisburg was thin, I was dragged to go. Glad I went, found a spam can of 7N6 for $130. His last, wish I went earlier.

Harrisburg was weak. York was much better.

What was so bad about Harrisburg?

What was good about it? Less guns and mags than a neutered MD show. I'd bet only 1/3 of the tables had guns and not many at that. 'Thinnest' show I've ever been to (to use Dan's words.) If thats even remotely typical I'll never make the drive up again. York is closer and was easily 2x the guns (and other stuff.)

The wife gave me the green light to go to Harrisburg which is about an hour away. Would York be worth the additional 30 minutes drive time?
