The Annual Display Show has Moved to June 2025!

The Annual Display Show has moved from May to June, 2025. OGCA members are eager to experience remarkable collections of rare and unusual firearms, especially those with notable provenance or presented in an educational display.

We encourage members to participate in the Annual Display Show. Members from all over the country display their collection in one of four catagories (Military, Antique, Pre-WWII and Post WW II) for the chance to win one of 4 Minuteman Freedom Bronzes with a value of $4,500 each and over $4,000 in cash prizes!

Exhibiting has many fringe benefits including letting thousands of others know what you collect and meeting other members who share your collecting interests. In fact, prior participants have made connections to rare guns and collectibles that never would have come their way had they not displayed.
