Its worth going to one if you never been but you rarely find any deals at one. Mostly it is all the local gun dealers bringing their inventory to put on tables. You'll still find a few tables with old stuff or unique items. There will be ammo, jerky, candy, offensive T shirts, collector coins, occasionally a weird hobby like doll collecting where you ask WTF is this doing at a gun show?
They have been steadily shrinking in size over the years I think as people figure out paying $18 to get in when the prices are the same as at the dealer isnt worth it

The Oregon Arms Collectors gun show is pretty decent for older guns
the August show is the big one
Gun Shows
They used to be people walking around trying to sell there guns and some guys would deal with you but now it's just like going to the mall crowed and over pricedThanks! I was under the impression that it was chock full of awesome deals.

The more obsolete the firearm the better the deal at a show, want a older pump 12GA Mossberg or Rem can be had for 100-150 easy. Want a AK-47 be prepared to pay near full retail same with AR's although lowers can be had cheaper at times just depends on who and where. Ammo is hit and miss and watch the bulk bag stuff is most times reloads.Thanks! I was under the impression that it was chock full of awesome deals.
I saw my $600 1903 Colt at the last show here in Eugene for only $1100.Thanks! I was under the impression that it was chock full of awesome deals.
BTW, If you are a member at BiMart your card gets you a discount at the ticket booth at the Expo Center!
Not anymore, unless they have reversed again. Last couple of shows I went to, no dice on Bi-Mart discounts. One of the reasons I quit going to Expo. Yes it's only a couple of bucks, but between that and the parking and the non-gun crap, it was the last straw.BTW, If you are a member at BiMart your card gets you a discount at the ticket booth at the Expo Center!
BiMart is a local chain of retailers a bit like Fred Meyers without the groceries, with a smaller selection, much friendlier people, good prices on ammo and reloading components, a selection of rifles and in the last year or so handguns again. A favorite of many on this site, including myself.What's a BiMart? Is it like a Cabela's? I need to get out more!
