a lot of the prices were high agreed, but if you looked carefully there were some real steals. I didn't get the chance to look around as much as I wanted , I was covering three tables by myself.

How does the Oaks compare to Gburg?

 

[precisionfire]

Oaks is much bigger and much more stuff relating to guns. About 700-800 tables there for this show. Winter shows can be over 1200 tables!

...and the March show at the Oaks is 2,000 tables. I make that one every year. Worth the drive, and while I'm in the area, I get a real cheese steak.

Cheese Whiz or slices??

Whiz, sautéd onions and peppers. Jim's on South or Cottman, or Dalessandro's in Roxborough part of Philly. You?

make sure your car doors are locked and nothing of value is in sight.
this is a ghetto area.

Ghetto. The expo center area? It's kind of in the middle of nowhere, sandwiched between an industrial park, river, and parkland. There's a LEO presence during the show and hoards of gun owners flooding the area. Of course, keeping doors locked and valuables out of site is, for me, SOP EVERYWHERE I go.

I have only been to Pat's and Geno's (yes, I ordered in English) and I am a slice man. Onions and hots to top it off.

I went today. It had about the normal ratio of guns vs dumb shit. There were a few garands for sale, several 37mm launchers, and 2 used Colt LE trade-in HBARS, one of which my wife was proud to take possession of. I also left with 2 steel AK mags, an M-14 cleaning kit for my M1A, some 37mm shells, and a box of .38 spcl JHPs.

Oh, and Indian River Collectibles was there with their stuff priced well into the stratosphere as usual. They had a nice Garand, but it wasn't $3,500 worth of nice.
