I'm about to go to my 1st gun show

Good for you.

1. Old fucks who bought dirt cheep surp and are selling it for 3x market value cuz they know what they gots.
2. Former POGs selling Taurus 92's for 700 because thats the same gun they used in the mureens
3. Reloads made by a drunkard that will blow up or squib your gun.
4. Lost of shitty Chinese knives and cringe-tier bumper stickers
5. That guy in the bathroom who definitely won't suck your dick for 2 packs of jerky.
6. Maybe one dude with a reasonably priced gun.

Overall, pretty cool place desu.

OP's pic is dieselpunk, you fucking sperg.

This checks off every box on the list according to my last gunshow visit.

1. Older woman selling a completely trashed Luger for $1500
2. Sorta
3. Yep
4. Always the fucking retarded Blue Lives and such bumpers
5. Always a jerky guy
6. Saw a guy wanting to get rid of a Mosin carbine in great condition for $300

Shut the fuck up, Humperdink

I was at a gunshow a few years back and some guy who weighed 400lbs and was wheel chair bound was selling a beat to shit SVT40 with no price tag on it.
I was prepared to offer him a hefty sum that was well above fair market value for being in the United States.
I ask the the fat gentlemen how much he wanted for it, without blinking he told me $4,700.
I was unable to suppress my laughter and ended up almost choking from it in front of him.
he looked visibly upset.
I then just set the rifle on the table and said "oh, cool, so you have absolutely no intention of ever selling it to someone" and walked away.

BBBBBBZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTT

What the hell is it with gun shows and beef jerky? I thought it was a giant meme.

>6. Saw a guy wanting to get rid of a Mosin carbine in great condition for $300

thats cheap, should of bought it, they sell all day every day on GB for $400+

In addition to what everybody else has already said, look for parts bin AR-15s assembled from 20 different brands of parts with $1,800 price tags. Used glocks with holster wear that look like they have fired 20,000 rounds and been dropped on pavement 100 times for $50 off new glock price.

In my experience there are usually at least 3 booths specializing in beef jerky at most gun shows. It got so bad one regular gun show in my area had to make a new rule that only firearms and firearms accessories related booths were allowed.

I'm suprised some guy didn't get them on a technicality and have a single 1911 for sale with a $10,000 tag and a booth full of jerky.

> be me at gun show now
> didn't eat lunch expecting to gorge on jerky
> no jerky to be found
> hungry!
You faggots lied to me

The fuck kind of show did you go to that didnt have jerky.

The exit.

I sometimes wonder how these dipshits come up their prices....

"I know what I gots, and my metformin and Humalog costs moneys"

Gun shows are just flea markets for Jow Forums-related stuff. Normal flea market rules apply. Don't go in with any expectations. Always be ready to walk away. Don't take anything personally. Look over everything carefully. Ask questions. Don't feel bad if you go home empty-handed, which you will sometimes. But every so often, you'll find a great deal, and when you do, pounce on it.

I never go to a gun show with anything in mind other than maybe to score a box or two of harder-to-find ammo (like 7.7mm Arisaka or 26.5mm flares). If I can do that, then I consider the trip a success. And if I do happen to find something else worth having, well that's just a bonus.

I live in PA and the gun shows here are actually pretty good. Yeah there are overpriced glocks, ARs and milsurp, but shotguns, bolt guns and general fudd guns can actually be found way cheaper than on the internet. I bought my Mossberg 500 there and tons of cheap AR furniture, as well as general milsurp stuff I don't need. I bought some A1 handguards that are way nicer than the brownells ones for half the price.

Maybe they suck in other states, but at least check it out, don't expect anything, and don't buy anything unless you know what you are getting.

I found one booth.

> $10 for 4 pieces of venison jerky
> $11 entrance fee
> $8 parkinng
> $15 for 33rd Glawk mag made in Korea
> $16.50 for 17rd Glawk mag made in Korea
> $3 coffee

$63.50 total for a day out and some extra mags.

> not terrible

>Used glocks with holster wear that look like they have fired 20,000 rounds and been dropped on pavement 100 times for $50 off new glock price.

It's like we aren't supposed to know which LGS they are buying police trade ins from. They get butthurt when you want to price match the store that doesn't charge admission a few blocks away. Probably because price matching would mean they are selling at cost. Actually at a loss after their transfer fees and booth rental.

1.) Shitty, rusty, portly maintained century made garbage marked up by $1000 because some fudds vendor thinks he has the real thing.

2.) Nasty fudd whores selling their homemade shit beef jerky or otherwise garbage food

3.) POG-ass "vets" walking around in full uniform ( probably not even the uniform of their era) with long hippy hair trying to blab about their 2 years of military service that entailed of nothing really significant.

4.) Glocks

5.) Glocks marked up in price by a shitload

6.) Smith and wesson mp15s that are marked up by $200 but with a sign that says "10% off Gun show special "

7.) Fags with a backpack with a hobo sign attached to them explaining what they're selling as they walk around, written in illegible crayon or sharpie.

8.) Fudds

9.) Gas station-tier knives overpriced

10.) Microtechs

11.) Shit ass garands damn near falling apart for $2500

Fuck gun shows

Because they know somewhere out there there is a dumbfuck that will buy it. And cherish it forever

I had more fun and success haggling with hajis in Afghanistan for their black market goodies than at any gun show

This

1911s, Glocks, ARs, and absolutely nothing else.

I saw this shit at my last show

I went to a gun show this past spring and bought a used PX4 full-size for $500. I wish I hadn't now; I got jewed hard.

A fool and his money are soon parted. I would know - I'm the fool.

where?
The last ok one I went to was Lancaster, and it still sucked

is the middle a slam fire pipe shotgun with wood furniture?

Looks like a space gun

This isnt even a meme. At least in texas all shows are this way. Either way fun to just go and kill a whole day walking around.

cool.

Wtf i got a romanian made one that i bought for like 80 bucks. Is that just the russian made ones going for that much?

How long ago did you buy it? Prices have tripled and then some in the past five years.

2012 maybe. Some pawn shop. Its romanian but i got a romanian tt33c so i can go full 1950s warsaw pact

Make sure you know your shit and don't take the seller's word on anything, I had a fudd unironically tell me that all Mosins were chambered for .303 last weekend.

There are some great finds to be had at gunshows, user. I found a sporterized No. 1 Mk. 3 Ishapore Enfield for $200. Bore, bolt, reciever, magazine, and trigger were all excellent.
If you are /gq/ there's usually a plethora of booths selling surplus ALICE webbing or mag pouches or whatever for the Jow Forumsommando on a budget (especially if the show is in a town with any kind of military base nearby).
If you reload there's usually brass jews selling (((once fired))) too.
But do watchout for fags with stunguns and tactical flashlights blinding everybody or retards selling mall ninja tier swords

the atf

Didn't piratemod Robinhood kill that guy?

You should have made him chamber a 303 round in one and watch his panic when it got stuck. I had a lgs counter fudd try to show me how the charter arms 9mm revolver worked and he jammed a round in so good he had to use a dowel rod and a hammer. I passed

I don't know much about gun shows but if it's anything like classic cars it's because they saw some pristine all-original numbers matching example with significant provenance sell for that much on a really hot day at an auction and so they think their shitbox is worth that much too.

I went to the show held in Charlotte last weekend, shit was neat. What and is true, I went in with a list of things I wanted to fingerfuck, and was pleasantly surprised to see some neat shit I wasn’t expecting to find there. There was a healthy amount of FN-49s about, a G43 that someone scooped up and immediately tried to flip for $3000 more, a table with a good variety of milsurp (and a Hungarian M43 mislabeled as a K98). I got to test out various memes on the fit of various stocks, underfolder AKs are mediocre, HK collapsing stocks suck, m&p 15/22s are stupid light and handy, barleycorn and v notch sights are shit, Glocks are popular for good reasons, and borelights are way too bright.

Full semi-Automatics that shoot 1B rounds per second and have auto-kid targeting bullets with a bump stock.
