It's a matter of opinion on how good it is, but if I lived as close as you do and knew the "back streets" where I could avoid the $5 (if it hasn't gone up) extortion parking fee, I'd plan on attending.
I am working this darn show again! I have to say it is the slowest and most expensive for dealers to attend. Only Marlboro cots more. $50 for electricity !!!!!
This used to be a great show, now its 1/3 of its size. Its is a good show for AR parts and some AK parts as well. If I see anything that looks like a great deal I will let folks know........unless I want it. Then it will be my birthday gift to myself.
My suggestion, eat someplace outside of the Big E, the food is awful and VERY expensive.
it was a dump the last time I went. Pete's had the only remotely decent area set up, rest of it was a dive. Are there any other shows around that are decent this time of year?

thisI'll be looking for AR parts.
I am probably going to go on Saturday morning. I am drawing up a list of small items I need for the winter season.
There is a lot of criticism about the location but it is what it is. The Eastern States Exposition is commercial concern that has to make money (although it advertises itself as a not-for-profit agricultural, educational institution) and they charge parking for every show there. The ammo tent is most likely due to building restrictions (no live ammo allowed inside) but it honestly is not that big of a deal. It is probably the only sizeable venue for the show in the local area that is willing to host a gun show.
I am not aware of any gun close close by to the east or anywhere west of us in the state, so that is why many of us go.
But, I suppose a better answer is to bow to pressure and for all of us to boycott the show and cause it to fold and then we might not have any place to go in Western Mass and we could all drive to Marlboro.
NOT!

I agree Frosty. We usually go, but right now family is taking precedence so we will not be there. If you guys want a good place to eat near the show, go to century buffet in the century plaza not far fro the Big E. Good food.
Sherluk is usually there with AR parts, prices aren't bad either. We have bought alot from them. Good people to deal with.
I'm going. A show is a show, good or bad, expensive or cheap. You never know what you'll find.
