John and his wife are great people. I've bought several firearms from them and always worked out a good deal with them. Always like vendors who haggle a little.

I've always though Wilmington was better than any of the other shows in MA. There always seemed to be some different vendors up there then in Marlboro and Springfield.
Haven’t been to the Springfield show in years. Will probably end up going this year. Looking for Shotshell components. Fingers crossed they’ll have some.

I'll be going to a gun show in Charleston SC on the 9th. All kinds of good stuff.

There are 500 tables. The trouble is 300 are folded up in a corner.....
You just watch me!
As a rule, you would be doing good at MSRP or 1% lower at a gunshow.
Then you add in the cost of gas, time, admission price and you are over MSRP.
Wilmington show used have a different ammo dealer than the NY guys that were at all the other shows, at slightly better prices... This was a long ass time ago, I remember Wilmington as being very very crowded.. I left early because I got so flustered with all stinky fat white guys in woodland camo huffing and puffing after walking 11 ft to the next table... Almost as bad as the NH rednecks at the Concord show

I think I should be insulted but I was laughing to hard.

Just ask for not that Chris.
I also find Wilmington a little better than Marlboro. I don’t have anything going on. And the wife works weekends so I like to go walk around. I never have any real expectations but like to check it out.
Yeah the mill is fun but I can go there any weekend.

This right here is the correct approach to NE gun shows: no expectation of good prices or finding anything, just something to do on a day off.
I salute you.

Yep. Only expectation is to get some jerky. Hope they are there!

Woburn Sportsmen will have a booth at both shows. We're trying to bump up our membership numbers and get more youth involved in our Junior programs. Swing by and check us out. You'll be able to complete the membership paperwork and start the process of joining WSA. I will be there all day tomorrow.

Just got back from the show. There were around 300 tables of the advertised 500. Had a good selection of gun dealers. B&K, Avid, Mass Armament, Tombstone and a number of smaller guys selling guns. There were a number of C&R type guns and plenty of overpriced ammo. I walked out of the NY ammo guy’s area as he was asking full rape prices.
I found what I was looking for at a good price. Did see a Nambo for a really good price as well but I’m broke so it was reluctant pass. Probably the first show that had less junk than usual.
