The annual fair is an opportunity for people to see impressive collections of militaria and firearms, as well as make purchases of such items.
Event organiser Ross Wood said there will be wide variety of dealers, collectors and exhibitors present.
"Whilst a number of interstate and international dealers have declined our invitations, the majority of regulars will be attending. Interest from NSW dealers has increased as there has been no opportunity to attend an arms fair since Bathurst 2020," he said.
"Apart from the commercial dealers, who will offer a comprehensive selection of modern sporting and target rifles, there will be some excellent displays of historical firearms."

Mr Wood assured the event has been planned in a safe way to ensure it fully complies with COVID-19 health orders.
"Due to the pandemic, planning has been under way for months and the organisers are confident that they can comply with the NSW Health requirements and still deliver a fair that is safe, manageable and enjoyable," he said.
"We will, however, require visitors to register on the Services NSW app either manually or by using their smart phone, but we have dedicated staff to quickly help with the sign on.
"Masks are highly recommended but we won't compel you to wear them."
Should the event have to be cancelled as a result of a COVID-19 Public Health Order, all tickets will be refunded.
