Syracuse has a pretty good sized show in the Spring and Fall. The next is in Sept. There is already a few vendors of ammo. There is also a smaller show in Rochester NY (there may be two shows in Rochester at different locations) and I have been to a show in Albany also. I only went once and it was okay, but not as large as Syracuse.

I'm fairly new to the gun world. Do you have any more info on the Rochester shows? As I live in Rochester but haven't heard about any shows.

I went to a Gunshow earlier this year at the Dome Center. It was kind of small but the "ammo guys" were there, they go to that show and Syracuse and sell stuff for about the same price as you can get it online and have just about pretty much everything and rent a lot of tables. That was the only time I went.
Eventually SP10 or Ed Avila Sr will see this thread and probably post. They know those shows better than me. Are you looking to buy ammo, then? I did not understand that in your first post. The prices on 5.56 were okay, but not amazing. I could probably buy for similar prices off the net. You should consider going to the Syracuse Show. A bunch of us will be there and they can help you out with what to buy and who to buy from. |

Dude, the Saratoga shows suck... too much rusty old crap and way too much crammed into far too little space... That and trying to get to Toga during racing season is just not worth it.

If you go here www.shotgunnews.com/gunshow/index.dog and search NY.
The other place to try is your gunshop, the one around here has a whole bunch of flyers and stuff for upcoming shows. The big one in Syracuse is usually nice. There are some smaller ones too, but they are usually more "specialized". |

FWIW: There are usually several small shows around central and norther NY Check www.shotgunnews.com and run a search on the "gunshows" tab. I'll have a table at the Clayton-Thousand Islands Arena on Aug. 16-17
Syracuse is usually a very good show (it's the largest up here) Most of the same vendors do Albany and Rochester. Go to one show and there'll be a table with flyers of most all the up-coming shows. Towards fall, you'll see lots of little/one day shows...usually that's where the hobbiest/collectors sell off there excess stuff. Great deals can be had at these shows because the most of the sellers arn't trying to make a living out of the show. |

Cliff Olsen is the organizer for most of the upstate shows... at least the Albany sized and smaller shows. I think he gave me a schedule for all the upcoming shows. I'll try to dig it up and post it.

AFAIK-The show in Syracuse will be Sept 13-14
and the one in Rochester: Sept 27-28 I will look it up today (Last 2 issues of Shotgun news have the ad)and confirm. The Syracuse show is superior- in both what is available and prices- to the Rochester one,but we attend both. Send me IM or email,if you are interested in getting together. We have a game of splatball set for this weekend if interested. |
