Default Valley Forge Gun Show Review

Yesterday, my buddy and I drove down to Valley Forge, PA to check out their gun show. Having only been to ones in Middletown, NY and Matamoros, PA I was in for a surprise. Valley Forge puts on an excellent, 800 table gun show. Dealers were friendly, prices competitive and there were relatively few airsoft/bud k/surplus dealers. I found one dealer selling steel european AK mags for $10 each. I bought a couple of those, a VTAC sling and some other goodies. I would recommend this show to anyone living in the northeast. Next week is the 1200+ table Harrisburg show and I'm driving down for that.

Yeah we were looking into going to the valley forge one but couldnt make it. Anyway, The one in Syracuse is usually decent also. the Harrisburg one is the mecca of gunshows.

I wish we had bigger shows like that. Most we can do is about 400 tables.

To find the deals, you will often have to find the private vendors instead of FFL dealers. Someone wants to sell something it will get sold.

I buy my carry and rifle practice ammo, some holsters, optics and other tinkets at shows.

I hardly ever buy a firearm at a gun show. I too am one that goes for usually the ammo, knives, surplus etc.
