    Manufacturers do not show up at MA gun shows. MANY years ago S&W was at the Big E shows, but not in the recent 5+ years.

    It's a glorified yard sale with licensed dealers selling their stuff. In many cases you see the same dealer and same guns for years on end, with astronomical prices. Sometimes you find a pearl however (a real good deal), but they are far and few between.

    Back when GOAL had its own gun show in conjunction with the annual meeting and dinner, Ruger would be there. One year it even sent a car Bill Ruger designed and built.

    SVI was at Marlboro a few years ago, courtesy of a local shooter, but he hasn't been around the last couple of years.

    That was the last time I saw a manufacturer at the local shows.

    Manchester really looked like people dug stuff out of their basement and were trying to sell it. I couldn't find anything worth buying. So let me ask this, how far would I have to go for a REAL show. You know the ones with everything there, like on tv?

    PA would probably be the closest. King of Prussia or Harrisburg.

    That is true, but last year Blue Northern Trading organized about ten manufacturers to attend the Sportsman's Show in Worcester. We are working on doing the same thing next month, but it's not set yet
