Has anyone been to this show?
Is it worth going?

Every gun show is worth going to and this one is one of the best! I will be there.

Not sure how many vendors, but it does fill the building. Some where arround 220 tables of stuff. It's been a little over a year since I was there last. That's where I picked up my coach gun for $150.

I have 2 guns im looking for spacificly thats why i go to thease things. Im looking for a winchester 30-30 lever and a 45-70 lever. hope i find at least one of thease at a good price. I would also like a remmington 870 12g pump to have extra. just and old worn out one that works nothing special. i have 2 for my self but might need a third for a friend.

Just go to SAIL for the 45-70. They often stock a beauty Marlin with laminated woodgrain stock and stainless barrel for around $700. Smoothest feed I've felt in a while and the stainless alone justifies the cost.

STAY AWAY FROM ANY MARLIN LEVER ACTION GUN THANT HAS BEEN MADE SINCE Remington bought them out.

I worked in a sporting goods store last year and we had a 70% return rate to Marlin. When Remington bought out Marlin and told the workers that they were moving the factory (March 2010)......QUALITY CONTROL when out the window. We had everything from crooked sights to unpolished chambers to bolts missing. Anything they could do to screw the gun up.

Which is a same cause I want an 1895 Guide Gun GS, or SBL. But not until they get these problems sorted out.

It's an old Stevens 311R that had been shortened 😀

I have been going to Antique Shows, Nastalgia shows, toys shows. military shows and gun shows for years. And there all the same you get the best deals in the last hour of the show. Because the venders don't want to pack the stuff up and take it home. That and there is far too many people waiting to get in a be the first. I seen line up at some shows of 100 people that got there hours before the show opened so they could be the first.I firmly beleive if there is something I'm looking for and are supposed to have it, doesn't matter what time I show up it will be there for me.

I planning on being there around 10:30 11am. I'm a cheap bastard ...... I want the deals 😀 😆 😉

I never go to gun shows expecting a deal. They're all terrible for overpricing their goods, especially at rural shows, because they know most guys have no stores nearby with decent selection.

If you want a firearm cheap, you simply go to a store that price matches. That guarantees you're getting the best price and a new gun, not one someone has beat up or shot out.

i got there at 1145 and most were packed up shortly after 12. . . a little pissed off. but i would go back, earlier next time.

I didnt make it, was called into work. Ill be going to the next one in prescott on the 31st-1st.
