Title: Muzzle loader Building Shows and Fairs
Post by: Reegee/Flint on May 15, 2021, 03:55:12 AM: Can any one suggest ML shows and Fairs where makers and builders sell their completed guns, Locks, Barrels, Parts, Kits etc.
Willing to travel, just enjoy meeting other like minded folks and admiring their talents.

Post by: Reegee/Flint on May 15, 2021, 04:47:31 PM: I am located near New Stanton PA. Easy access to I70 . I just returned from the show in Martinsburg WVA and really enjoyed the antique weapons displayed. I got to handle a real flint lock pistol and was amazed at the trim lines and slender shape compared to some of the rebuilds I have seen but it was not a show for builders.

Howdy neighbor , I'm about 10 minutes south of you in Mt Pleasant . There's also the Bushy Run show in Delmont but it has already passed . It's about the only "close"show for us SW Pa guys .

Yeah, that would probably be me. I've known Rege and Ace for a long time. Sad that Ace passed away several years ago.

Post by: tfornicola on May 20, 2021, 08:11:08 PM: Osprey, The Bedford Show was moved to Altoona, Pa. It was held in 2019, but cancelled in 2020 because of the China virus. Not sure if is going to happen this year or not.

Well that's a shame. Bedford Village was neat period place to hold the show and you'd think a Bedford Rifle show should be in Bedford. ??? But it was a small show, guess they're trying to get more attendance.
