The Nation's Gun Show April 24, 25, 26 Chantilly VA

[JKrew]

I was just checking when the next show would be and realized it is this week! I haven't seen any mention of it on here yet so I was suprised it is so soon. I'll hopefully be there Friday and I'm going to see if any friends want to go also.

Yup going. Expect chaos and limited ammo.

Will only be looking to pick up .223, 7.62*39 and 51, 5.45, 9mm, .45 ACP and a few stray boxes of .32 .38 special .357 and .45 long colt. How much I buy will depend on price.

Overall pretty good on mags, though could be talked into buying a few things.

Could be talked into a gun or two (e.g., K31, Hakim/FN, right Mauser IAC 12 gauge double at the right price) but really not looking as I have overbought in the last couple months and still wouldnt mind picking up a Dan Wesson .44 and a Stoeger 8000 in .40 S&W.

Should have bought the Hakim I had my hands on in February $250 was a steal.

hmmm should i take off friday and go when they open? i told myself i wouldn't go to shows that start on a friday unless that's the way i did it

 

[JMintzer]

I'll be there. I don't expect any ammo deals, but I'll be looking for a nice, inexpensive .22 target rifle, to use when I take my daughter to the range...

damn that is a steal of a deal...

 

[snoopaloop]

I'll be there Friday evening getting some more pmags.

 

[Polecat]

I have Friday off and plan on going then. Don't hope to miss the crowd. Lately it has been just as bad no matter what day you go. I also hate the rush hour traffic on 66 back towards DC. Oh well.

 

[lx1x]

I'll be going Saturday to look for some reloading components (crossing finger).

BTW, if you are going with the intention of buying ammo from Georgia Arms, they have posted on their web site that they will not be there.

I like the national gun show. I might go. How bad has it been, lately? (I haven't gone since obama took office.)

Pretty crazy for the last two shows. They were late opening in February and there was still a line to get in at 4:30 on Friday. Some of the aisles were almost impossible to get through as people were standing around trying to look at ARs and pistols. There was a lot of ammo and magazines, but the prices have been on par with what's online.

 

[yotaboy24]

im going for nothing but ammo.

 

[BigCity]

Thinking of going Friday. I see they are not open til 3 p.m. Driving time from Carroll Co?

 

[Seko]

Do you think i can pick up some 5.45 mags there for a polish tantal. I cant seem to find any 20 round magazines in MD or online.

 

[mike_in_md]

I'm going to help out the demand side. I will not go to to the Nations Gun show this month due to lack of inventory.

 

[Trapper]

I'll be there, I need large pistol primers, .45 ammo and/or .45 brass. Thats it.

 

[Maryland Hunter]

I'll be going down Saturday. Really don't need much, Midway just filled a backorder I had with them. It's a good opportunity to look around, carry, and of course, lunch at Hooters.

 

[CharlieFoxtrot]

It was insane last time. Got there about 2:45 on Friday and it was a 45+ minute wait to get in. I'm going to pass this time. Maybe things will be calmed down by July.

 

[beaglefan]

It was way over priced at the last show.Found better deals at the Harrisburg show.Yes it was more pricey then normal too.Saving my money and going to SAR show in York.

 

[Polecat]

But it is a good change from work and "honey-dos". Relaxes the mind if you will. Almost as good as a day at the range.
