Saturday 9-5
Sunday 9-3

Columbia Conference Center
Holiday Inn Portland Airport & Trade Center
8439 NE. Columbia Blvd.
Portland, Oregon

This is a real collector show, with 200+ tables. No "NEW" firearm dealers, no "BLACK" rifles, no non-firearm related stuff, and historical displays around the perimeter of the Conference Center. $6 & parking is free. I will not have a table this year.....just an attendee.

I have never been before.
Maybe I will attend tomarow. Sounds like a good show. Thanks for the heads up.

Udy: it is well worth the trip and time....

Well Mr. jdad, I am holding you responsible for this.
Some how this 71 followed me home from the show.
There was a lot of good items there. Much better than the typical gun shows around here. I enjoyed it very much.
If the internet source I found is correct it should have been born in 1937.

You found one of the bargains....definitely not from Don Gordon's table. His stuff may have been real nice, but it was priced at least twice the current market.

I enjoyed the show and saw lots of very fine weapons. Tables filled with very fine rifles, shotguns, handguns and accessories. I probably won't go back though at least for a few years. Unless I win the lottery and can walk in with 5k-100k of cash that I can afford to spend on a firearm that I will likely never fire due to it's rarity. Seriously, who spends $10,000-$30,000+ for a firearm? Way out of my class, that's for sure.

The out-of-state dealers had just come from the Reno show and probably still thought "Reno" prices were the going market so why change their tags. There were some really good deals, from "local" sellers, but they were gone within the first few hours after the doors opened.

I went home with all my money too.
