Not everything. I've been looking for a Frommer Stop and haven't seen one at the last two shows.

Yeah, their setup is impressive.
Don't forget "scarce".
I drive a little over 800 miles twice a year to attend. Been doing that since the mid 80's. They have not removed tables. They are sold out every show with a last minute waiting list. Best show in the country.
I have a couple of the Spartan lowers and really like how beefy they are. I think the upper you want will look awesome on a build.

It’s ok. Has most everything. But don’t expect prices for firearms or ammo to be anything special. Many tables seem to be collections of what people have bought at estate sales. Worth the visit just to find something interesting and people watch.
I have been going to it since about 1991.
Its usually shoulder to shoulder people.
Assume you will walk several miles on concrete with no place to sit down.
There are tables and benches near the food venders, but they are often full, so good shoes are a must.
If you want to cover a show in an hour and are looking for a deal on beat up military surplus this is the wrong show.
The show has more antique firearms than any other show I have been to and is probably the largest.
If your into rare old guns, its worth the price of admission to look around.
In the past I have seen original Gatlin guns, Colt Walkers.
I have seen confederate pistols. Old west artifacts. Military artifacts.
Pristine WWII era guns will be there.
Some class 3 stuff.
Post civil war American military and sporting guns are common.
You can expect to see much older stuff, like wheel lock pistols from the 1500's, a few matchlocks.
Pre civil war military and civilian cap locks and flint locks will be there.
You are guaranteed to see some stunning Winchesters and Colts.
I would expect to see several Henry rifles, at least a few Volcanic pistols.
A few Colt revolving rifles are likely to be there.
Sharps rifles are always there.
Lots of goofy civil war era carbines.
Nice European sporting rifles.
Cased sets of custom shotguns
All kinds of firearm accessories.
Oddball used and new reloading dies.
Antique reloading tools and bullet molds.
Antique ammo.
There will also be folks with your usual assortment of modern sporting arms, black semi autos, military surplus, parts, etc.
Don't expect to find any bargains. If they are there, someone will find them before you.
If you are shopping for something old or hard to find you have a good chance of finding it, or at least a contact for someone who will have it. If your thinking about something, and want to do some comparison shopping, good chance you will be able to do it.
Take a pen and paper so you can write down where you saw something cool that you have to think about.
Ware comfortable shoes.

I been there once, the previous one. It's worth it, I only had 1 day and didn't finish looking at everything. I brung 2 guns with me to sell and sold them in the first hour. There will be too many great deals from people, so bring lots of cash.
be carefull buying or selling a gun ,,,make sure the other person is from your state,, see a drivers license,, i have seen people walking around selling guns cheap wont show ID, maybe federal agents,,,
