    Went with my brother on law today. He got a 92fs and walked out with it in 15 minutes too. After he told the dealer how he used to live in MD, the dealer said how sorry he was and give him two extended mags for free then welcomed him to the USA!

    That is awesome! He is a lucky SOB!

    I went last night. Scored the last keg of IMR 800x. My buddy suggested I go first, so I did and got the last one. I feel bad for him. I'll probably end up selling some of it to him.

    Went today. About average for a show close to MD. Best deal I got was $5.95 mags out of the Misc bin near the center of the show. If you know your mags then that is where you need to go. Picked up two CZ75 "hi/standard cap" mags for less than $12. Can't beat that with a stick. Had a ton of Beretta 92 and SIG mags in the box along with others. Decent deals on 7.62x39 ($.24/rd) usually if you bought 500 or 1000. Not so good pricing on AK mags. AR stuff was decent to outrageous as usual IMO. Great show to get your ass off the couch:party29:

    I need some H4340 but don't want to drive all the way down there and pay the entrance fee for one item.

    I don't know who the dealer was but my Dad went back and wanted to buy a Ruger 10/22 that he saw for $209. I came back to me and said that the guy would not let him buy it cause he was a MD resident. WTF! why is it so hard for FFLs in other states to know the laws?

    The first time I've seen somone selling ammo cheaper than Walmart. A guy was selling Tulamo 7.62x39 for $5/20. 17 cents cheaper than walmart. I forgot who, but they were selling 9mm Luger for $15/box of 50. 22LR of course was there but jacked up as usual.
    Yes, a line about 5 deep for the powder guy/lady from PA. I got what I needed.
    C&R stuff I thought was priced pretty high.
    I wish I was ready to buy and AR upper cause there were lots of people selling them and I liked a few I saw. Just wish...

    I went for my birthday around 6 years ago and a guy wouldn't sell me a German k98 from ww2. He said he doesn't sell to md because he doesn't like their politics. I was not happy.

    So he's being spiteful to the poor residents over the decisions of the $#@tards in Annapolis? :bigwhoop:

    Was that for Ruger factory 30 rounders?

    And how much for the 50 cal cans?

    Sorry just got to this. 25 for two ammo cans. Fairly good shape.
    Mini-14 mags were an older magazine vendor. Prices are too high. But 2/3 to the rear, and 1/3 to the right from the left wall, as you are going through the front door. Approximately of course.

    That powder guy/lady from PA was very slow. The line should have ran the direction where people weren't trying to look at inventory. It took them forever to run a transaction. They looked like they weren't even processing transactions. I lost my patience after about 5 minutes of not seeing anything move.

    After being turned down 3 times for c&r purchase because of not willing to sell to md resident and the fact most of what I seen I could buy better on the internet without a 13$ admission,I think I'm done with this show. Another big turnoff was a loud mouth dealer 2nd row from the wall on the left side that was just rude to people from md,kept talking about the problems with government and how we don't need them and the laws suck,blah blah,the whole time f this and f that,nice way to talk customers and turn people away/off,wish the promoters would do a little better sometimes with some of these mouth pieces.in my opinion just not worth 13$ admission and over an hour's drive when I can ship to an out of state address

    Tall thin bald guy selling NCStar junk? That was the former owner of Valley Gun Shop before he got strung up for known straw purchases. I will NEVER buy from him.

    I usually go to get ammo at Georgia-Arms and a magazine or two that I can't get here. Bulk ammo is good and you either spend gas to pick it up or shipping costs....I like to walk around and have the instant satisfaction of getting it as soon as I pay for it.

    Bingo I knew I knew him for some reason what an ass!

    Yeah. I have seen him argue with people he just sold a broken item to. Apparently he has a 10 second/10 step guarantee. I have seen more than my fair share of people screaming at him for ripping them off either selling them something other than what they asked for or something that was broken. Just a snake oil salesman that screwed up on his own and is blaming everyone else for it.
