Albany Gun Show

[Yester]

Anybody been to this show or know much about it? What is it like compared to the PDX Fun (yes I said Fun) show? Is it worth going to? Any details you may have would be appreciated!

Thanks!!

Its a great show! I like it much better than the PDX style shows, its the way that good ol' gun shows should be.

its completely worth going to. i personally like it better than the portland show. its $5 to get in and free parking. lots of great used stuff that you dont normally see. Plus no beanie babies or other crap. I will be there sat morning and probably sunday as well. hope to see you there

I believe it is this weekend.

Yes.. 3/7 & 3/8 at the fairgrounds... Used to be a great show.. But..that was back when gun shows were gun shows.. Haven't been to one there in quite some time..

Good show, great facility. Several hundred tables, good selection,
not a lot of crap. Tossup whether Rickreall or Albany is my favorite show.
Both are put on by local people, not Collectors West or whoever. Both
have a lot of local people that do maybe one or two shows a year--so
you don't just see the same stuff, different show.

Either one is much better than the miserable excuse for a gunshow that
Expo has become.

Sounds like I am headed to Albany then. Thanks for all the feedback guys, Now I am really excited to go!

I think I will be there also looking for those of you who prefer to take with out paying!

Hey Joey? You going to have a table to promote us at what many would argue is the best show in oregon?

Hi which exit do you take off I5 to get to the show coming from Portland thanks

I believe there is an exit that says "fairgrounds"

Should be exit 234A

Take a look at albany on maps.google.com And look for the linn county expo fairgrounds right on the east side of I5

Thanks I will go check it out I went to the Eugene show last year and really enjoyed it

 

[Doubletap]

I'll probably go check it out..just for old time's sake..

 

[Yester]

Sounds like there will be a handful of us going for sure. Does anyone know if NWFA is going to have a booth?

Be sure to stop by the US Tactical Supply table...the guy working it looks like a skinny 'lil nerd...but he is very squared away!!!! If I had to go through the door I'd want him with me!

Seriously he knows tactics and gear...tell him I said Howdy! Wish I could go but am teaching class this weekend.

Dam I would rather be in that class then at the gun show!

Is it legal to buy, sell. and trade at a gunshow? Do I have to record the sale or anything? What are the rules?
