Medina is a good show to attend for your first one. The aisles are a little narrower than other local shows, but there is a lot to see. I'll be going there probably Saturday and will have a couple guns for sale.
If it's your first show, I'll give you the same advice I got before my first show. Don't be in a hurry to buy anything. Compare, compare, compare. Do some research before you go so you know what a gun is worth, or how much ammo costs. There are definitely good deals to be found at every gun show, but there is also a lot of overpriced merchandise for sale. If you're interested in a particular firearm, walk the entire show to see if you find two or more of them. Again, compare and get the best deal you can. Maybe I'll see you there. -Dave (Just visiting from The Firing Line) |

I live 2 miles from the show and go every month. I have a couple friends who come over from PA to attend. It's a nice show, some months better then others.

If you have shopping targets, we can steer to vendors with better odds than others. I always take a crib sheet of key items and prices. Medina and Berea are the best in NE OH.

Hard/far left upon entry usually gets you to many ammo cans, immediate right/close usually has a guy with powders, bullets prob at the far right rear wall, just past J&C Sales' good ammo tables. I rarely reload so others are prob scattered about. Cheap scopes, new/used are all over.
Go early and move fast before it clogs up later in the am, then re-hit your marks. Small parts sales are prob best with a note pinned to your coat. PS- Berea this weekend ohiogunshows.com has many of the same dealers |

How is the Berea show? I have never been there. I'm looking to pick up an AK soon and the money is burning a hole in mt pocket. Is it as crowed as the Medina show? Any good tables worth mentioning that are not at the Medina or Summitt shows? |

I think in the winter the Berea show only has 2 buildings as not all have heat, but it's still worth going.
I think you can find anything you are looking for, maybe at a slightly reduced scale Also, hitting the "gazebo" at noon on saturday is a good place for a FTF...matching a mug to a name.  Last I heard, it was going to be 39 degrees and wet for saturday...that still beats a full blown howling blizzard for this time of year. Hit both shows, avoid cabin fever.

Berea update...all the tables are taken so it should be a full house.
Actually there were more vendors than tables with only the 2 buildings available. |

Me, my son, and a couple buddies from PA will be there Saturday around 11:00. We usually check out the tables, head up the road for lunch at The Roadside in Lafayette and back in the afternoon to spend money.

I HOPE the medina show this weekend, turns out better than berea's was yesterday!
CRAP I hate in the winter when they only have the 2 buildings open. It always seems the good vendors get turned away, because there are no tables, all in favor for the people taking up space selling Jerky and socks! OH WELL |

I think packed is a big understatement ! I got there early and stood in line to get in. I did find a few things I wanted. I got 2 Makarov mags, a m-38 mosin nagant, a m-44 mosin nagant , 960 rounds of 7.62 x 54r for the nagants and 3 30 round mags for the AK`s

i was there today, we got there about 9:45 and had to wait in line and it just got busier.
i'm trying to find a match grade ar to buy, there were a few ar's i found that i was interested in but no one knew anything about the guns. i may go back tommorow, if i do i'll probably be wearing a navy hat it's blue with yellow letters. |

I was all set to go, but then when this weekend rolled around I didnt feel like fighting the crowds. Good thing I just stayed home. I didn't spend any money this way.

Are we talking about the Medina show? I wnt yesterdat afternoon and back this afternoon. I dont know if I would call it packed? I think as I see in most areas the guns where pretty sad. I went looking for a Mak90 or a Maadi and came home empty. Looked at 2 Maadis, both where messed up and the 1 Mak90 was $500, HEHE not!!
Lots of brand new never fired Aks that where filthy and rusty. Well Im sad. We did see a P90. But at $1400 I dragged my drooling 8 year old back on my quest for a $300-$400 AK. |
