Good Portland, OR gun shops for C&R?

TheRomanhistorian · 05-12-2015, 01:15 AM

Hello everyone! I'm heading down to Portland, Oregon on Friday and am meeting a dear friend there for the evening but I have a few hours before I meet her. I was wondering whether any of our Portland brethren might have thoughts about any good gun shops/pawn shops for my C&R interests!

Michael,

Portland is a desert for C&R oriented gun shops. Anything you find here will be strictly incidental.

However, Portland has a monthly major gun show at the Portland Expo Center, which happens to be this weekend http://wesknodelgunshows.com/pages/EXPO.html. There is always a smattering of C&R and antiques, and there will be a couple of Luger-oriented tables.

Thanks Dwight! I'm down there for the day and headed back up to Seattle that night so I won't be able to make it this time but that sounds like a good trip for September.

Thanks for the mention of the monthly show.
I'm coming out for the SFA Convention next month and will try and connect that.
