Albany gun show this weekend

[shootemup]

I was hoping anyone here or any vendors on here that will be attending, are you gonna be selling any complete uppers w/ 16'' target crown bbl? nothing fancy just want to complete a build. Can you contact me w/ price? I'm scrounging every penny I can and would like to know how much I need to come up with. With the parts ban coming down the pike, better get what you can now I'm thinking.

Just curious...how good is the show? I live in Westchester, drove to the Fishkill one and immediately regretted that decision.

 

[Budonahog]

I was not impressed with the Fishkill show either.

I haven't been to the Albany show in a few years, but since we lost the Saratoga show I my go on Sat. Will be shooting steel on Sun. Morning, ping ping!!

 

[beebee]

Are gun shows really any good?.. Never been to a "gun show", but have been to outdoor shows with some guns..
Are there really serious deals on say, ammo, scopes, good used guns?.. or is it just a collection of 75 different dealers all in one place all selling at full retail?... bob

 

[nortatoga]

Do I go expecting to find deals - NO! Have I gotten deals - YES!

 

[S&W Fan]

The deals are what you make. If you’re going to a gun show expecting big discounts on everything that you’re looking for you might as well just stay home.

There is a slight chance that I may go on Sunday. I have a game dinner on Saturday.

 

[SmallGameAddict]

If the Syracuse gun show is any indication, go on Sunday. Deals to be had cuz vendors don't feel like lugging a lot of stuff back.

What @SmallGameAddict say's is true! A few years back I was at the Saratoga show on Friday night setting up a table for Appleseed, when I came across a dealer with a Ruger 96/22! Asked if he could do any better on the price, his reply was maybe if it was Sunday afternoon! This rifle was not going to last 20 minutes Saturday morning so it was mine for $389.00. Checked Gunbroker that night they were going for $500/600 so I was pleased! A 1996 model ( first year ) that was so clean and dry I don't think it was ever fired.

Had one of those in .22 Mag back in the 90's.

Pretty much every gun Deal that I’ve ever purchased or traded for at the Syracuse gun show over the last 40 years has been on a Sunday. Most dealers are willing to make a reasonable deal on anything that they are selling rather than have to lug it all back to the shop with no sale at all.

.22 mag would be nice! I do have a Marlin 57m 15 rd tube fed in .22 magnum!

I used to jump every time Ruger came out with a new model. As soon as they intro'd the GP-100, bought one. .357 Mag of course. Blued 4 inch barrel. Had a lot of them over the years, and they've come and gone.

That is true! and I have found older dealers that have been doing it for a long time understand 2 fast nickels are worth more then 1 slow dime!

Why not just order a barrel online and have it shipped to yourself? There’s no issue with ordering the correct barrel if that’s what you want. Stag Arms has them for sale right now. I know a lot of people have boycotted Dark Storm Industries, but they also have those barrels that you’re looking for. You can get everything for the upper and put it together without a problem.

More or less, but every once in a while you can still find a screamin deal but it's hard because everybody is an expert and everything is a excellent vintage collectable with a just few seconds on google.
