THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Went to the Danbury Gun Show Aug 11-12
Sat 9-5,Sun 9-3
Crown Plaza Danbury
18 Old Ridgebury RD
Danbury CT 06810

$10, ($1 coupon on line) free parking

Pretty solid for a small show. Lots of odds and ends with some interesting guns.
Some reasonable deals on ammo, several small ammo dealers and one medium dealer to keep everyone's prices down.

Typical for a small show,some insane prices,some reasonable,a few a pretty good deals if you know what to look for.

I bought a used book,a garand sling for a buddy,a couple of web m16 slings and 6 boxes of 17HMR ammo that for some reason was marked $4 a box!

The two guys I went with ducked into a Red Lobster and had way too much to eat for lunch.

What else are you going to do on a rainy Saturday morning?

This about all this show is good for. I've been there 2 or 3 times. Then again this is CT and you're not going to find anything better within 100+ miles.
If I'm curt with you it's because time is a factor. I think fast, I talk fast and I need you guys to act fast if you wanna get out of this. So, pretty please... with sugar on top. Clean the f'ing car!

Yeah, pretty much my point. If you want to kill a couple hours looking at some gun stuff it could be fine.( I like that kind of stuff)

If you go to something like this expecting tremendous deals at every turn you will surely be disappointed.

Anyone know the name of the vendor who had a belt fed .22 and a take down Jap rifle on his table? I wish to contact. Thanks

I didn't care for it. I'm not sure where the blame could lie but it just wasn't what I wanted.

Some decent prices on ammo, but otherwise all overprices junk.

I want a show with new stuff (like current) for decent prices and more guns. I will say that there were some really cool vendors and I got some really good product so I'm happy I went, because otherwise I wouldn't have gotten my schwag.
