What is billed as the “largest gun show ever held in New York’s Capital District” will be staged January 24 and 25 at the Empire State Plaza Convention Center in Albany. Over 400 exhibits and displays will be provided by collectors and dealers from all over the northeastern United States and Canada. Show hours will be 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.
Featured will be displays and sale tables of U.S. military arms, Colt revolvers, high grade double barreled shotguns, Remingtons, muskets, Smith & Wesson, Kentucky rifles, and gun parts and accessories. Also featured will be Indian items, frontier and western paraphernalia, Sharps, Springfields, Winchesters, swords, bowie knives, powder horns, civilian and military weapons from all nations. Custom made and factory made knives, military relics and equipment from before the Revolutionary War to the present will be offered.
While most items are for sale on a cash basis, gun shows cling to the old fashioned trade and barter way of doing business. Haggling for the very best deal possible is both expected and accepted. Old and unwanted guns gladly are purchased.
All firearms sales or transactions require, by law, a NICS background check and must be conducted through available dealers only, inside the hall. No private sales or trades or barters of firearms are permitted .
