Who is going to the show at the airport expo center the 5th and 6th ? If they fill that hall it would be a giant gun show!

I’m going and I hope the guy that has all the AR parts is there. I need an upper receiver that he’s had sitting in the case.  With my luck he won’t be there or won’t have the receiver.  

It’s kind of exciting going to check out a new show I hope it doesn’t disappoint

Is "Bill Goodmans" some secret code for "gunshow"?  I haven't a clue who promotes the shows I go to in NE Ohio.

"Airport expo center"?  I guess if we've never heard of the place, the answer has gotta be "No."

Airport Expo Center is outside the east fence of the Dayton International Airport... It is adjacent to the Dayton Airshow entrance.  Building being used also to host RV, home improvement, boat shows in in the past, besides stuff related to airshow on the weekend of... gunshow be a new venue for them.




EDIT --  This picture shows the north side of building, with McCualey drive right there in the pic.. North  Dixie Dr runs north/south there on the right side of pic.  Exit 64 (Northwood Blvd off I-75), go west to light, look across to right in front of you, there is the Expo Center.

Olde English is up N. Dixie across county line (road drop back to 2 lane at line),, go up to Ginghamsburg Rd (Gun Shop sign on phone pole up high), turn right, up on right at the I-75 over pass.

Vandalia Tactical is south of Expo Center,,, standing in the EXPO' lot,,  look at the water tower across the way adjacent to Delphi, they  is in that small plaza.

Vandalia range is behind the right side of the pic, go south out of the Expo Center to the light (National Rd), turn right, go to  the Toyota dealer, turn left (there is a sign)..

I am guessing the three gun shops with in 2 miles of this gun show are very happy about the new location.

ah....so it sounds like if I am coming 1.5 hrs down, I should make a day of it and visit the area shops....

Can anyone point out some of the other ones that are worth visiting and what to look for?

Actually I would bet Shooter warehouse(Bob) will be at the show with a lot of his inventory. He was at most this last year from summer up. So the shops kind of bare then.

I'm hoping to hit the show saturday if something doesn't change.

Ill be there trying to sell a fairly nice sporterize Enfield No4 Mk2 and a Desantis Mini Slide holster for Glock 9mm/40 pistols if anyone is interested..

I'll be there tomorrow.  I have two Winchester M1897 parts guns that I need to sell.  I'm going to try to hit the Lima show too.

I just got back from the show. I spent $100.00 bucks. It was a good show. No really good ammo deals. There is ammo there. Lots of people. They had 2 parking lots full of cars. Plenty of books, reloading stuff, and guns. I like this place better than Hara Arena.

Will be at the show tomorrow, was at the pro gun show today in Wilmington.

Show was ok got my AR upper receiver that I needed for my AR47. I like it more than Hara; I may be wrong but it felt like you had more room between tables. Hopefully the dealers did well so it will expand and get more AR/AK/MG stuff.

I liked it much better than HARA and I think your right about the isles being wider.  Not a bad day at all as I picked up a Romanian Cugir trainer and a wz-48 Polish trainer too. Something I didn't think I'd see either of there.

Actually too bad there are 3 shows at the same time or I bet it would have just been a HUGE show. But still not too bad and the best goodmans I've been to in a long time.

Is PK at this show?
1/5/2008 6:49:46 PM EDT

PK the ar-15 dealer was there. Go in and go to the back right corner.

Very nice facility.  MUCH nicer than Hara and better access too.

Pretty good dealer turnout too, especially when you consider that there was a trifecta of shows this weekend.  I just wish that there were more guns & ammo and fewer gadgets & gizmos.

Yes, PK Firearms was set up today.

I made it there today...Picked up another thousand primers and a Lyman digital scale.
For all the rumers about there being a primer shortage...I keep seeing cases and cases of primers.  Brass is another story...getting hard to find any anymore.  Now if I could only find a decent hardcase for a reasonable price
1/6/2008 12:26:12 PM EDT
[#20]
You going for a storm or pelican hardcase? There was two hardcase dealers there.

I went and sold my PSL.  Was looking for an AK but did't find one I liked.
