This is probably one of my favorite gun shows, real big/lots of stuff. I will definitely be attending.

Honestly, I've lived in Lancaster for many years and never been to this show, always went to the York Fairgrounds show, since it was closer. but that will change since I plan on coming this year. What should I expect? Will there be some nice deals there??

I'm going on Saturday...probably earlier as opposed to later but we will spend a decent amount of time there (although I'll feel bad about making the g\f go with us, even though she says she "doesn't mind")

You can expect lots and lots and lots of guns.
Lots and lots of ammo.
Lots and lots of accessories.
Lots and lots of people.
Lots and lots of good deals.
Lots and lots of not so good deals.
You can expect to see tools and gadgets that are hard to find anywhere else.
You can expect to see books and owners manuals.
You can expect to see pieces of history, it's like a unique temporary museum.
You can expect to see more than 1000 tables of stuff for sale or trade. (That's a LOT of stuff!!!)
You can expect to see stuff that you'll drool over.
You can expect to see stuff that you have little or no interest in.
You can also expect to spend a lot of time there, pack a lunch.
I'm serious, pack a lunch and leave it in your car. Take a break and walk to your car when you get hungry, food and drink there is very expensive. If I understand it right, they're trying to keep the jerky and other specialty snack vendors away. (Because it's hurting their food sales? I think it's the prices and quality of the food that's hurting their food sales).
I'm serious about spending a lot of time there too, don't show up after noon and expect to see everything, at least if you want to get a good look instead of a fleeting glimpse. If you're going to make the drive and pay the admission and parking fees, you might as well make a day of it.
You'll be glad you did.

I always love this show! Thank you to ForceinPA for the awesome deal! I also am looking forward to seeing the YHM suppressor you were talking about.

This is generally a good show with a wide variety or items available.

See everyone there, I'll be there early saturday morning.

Cheers,
Josh

Thanks for the info. I usually hit up the Valley Forge shows, but this one sounds like it's a lot larger. Maybe I'll take a ride out.

I was wondering when this post was going to be put up! I'm hoping to get out at least one of the days! Only 30 minutes away.
