Bit of a drive for me but I’m in search of a polytech bayonet!

Ive been to that show a few times. snows a lot the weekends they hold it. I bet attendance will be low Sunday...may be able to strike a good deal.

Great advice. I might see what they have this morning.

edit.... Stopped by at 09:30 and the line to get in was too long. I'll try it again tomorrow morning.

anyone go and have a report?
betting this morning is very slow.

If you're in the area, BT's smokehouse 3 min right up the street for some good BBQ, and treehouse isn't too far for those that imbibe and enjoy the NE brews.

Yes there was not many people there today. I did however get a polytech bayonet for much cheaper than I’ve seen anywhere else (gunbroker, eBay etc). It was worth it for me with that alone.

Glad to hear it. I didn’t venture out until the evening as I was only doing the snow removal once for the day. Ive enjoyed this show in the past, thanks for the report.

Smart man!

I did Sturbridge on Saturday late-morning and it was jammed. No parking spots left unless you went over by the liquor store or McDonald's.

As is typical for Sturbridge, most of the aisles in the main hall are extremely narrow, so it's very hard to see or accomplish anything. I went for a specific purpose and sort of half fulfilled my mission. Not a completely wasted morning, but no big scores to report either.

Honestly, I did not expect such a crazy large crowd. I guess I greatly underestimated the effect of the pending Sunday snowstorm.
