How did everyone do?

1943 Mauser-made P-38 in nice condition. Mismatched serials, but no import marks. Very happy, and will be happier after shooting it! Pics to follow.

Just got back today. Overall decent prices for the most part. 22LR prices still high but 223, 9mm,45acp look decent. Looks like gun prices are down from the last show here.

Picked up a WW1 British contract Spanish Revolver and actually managed to find the .455 Webley ammo to go along with it. Paid $45 a box for it but at least I have it.

Also found some Hi-Power mags, although I paid more than I wanted to for those also

How much for the Hi Power mags, if you don't mind my asking? I thought I bought enough before 10/01/13, but I was thinking about going down and getting a few more. Maybe in January.

Ya saw your other thread very nice, those are not super easy to find.

Hang onto that brass, its almost impossible to find. I bought out buffalo arms last 200 pieces about 2 years ago.

Got some pmags 4 for 45$. Got some mags for my new kimber.

I do have a question what is it with the nazi stuff at all gun shows? Do alot of people collect nazi memorabilia?

Good show, went both days. Wish I lived in VA, alot of nice guns. A few Mini 14's I really wanted, not bad price either. Considered seeing if I could actually buy it and carry it home but after my friend had to go to a few dealers to buy a shotgun, I figured I'd just check the shops I go to in MD. Friends stocked up on banned mags. The mag vendor there in the back right has some deals on a few types. Got a few bricks of .22 LR some Speer in 9mm and 40 and also, some Georgia Arms 124 Grain 9mm hollow point.

Saw those minis including the rareish green laminate one, shame the gun had seen a fair amount of wear an the price premium was high. Love green laminate.

When I get a break here Ill post my acquisition, nothing special but a good deal.

Booty from the corpses besides the guns the soldiers took?

 

[DuckFoot]

I did not see the green laminate mini 14. Saw a few nice polymer ones for between $615 to $720 and a few really nice tactical's for about $745. The bulet proff vest folks in the back had a private sale M1-A for around 2K that looked very nice. But it had a folding stock, so not MD compliant I guess.

I collect some Nazi items for the same reasons I bought the P-38: one, as a reminder of what happened such the we may prevent such things in the future; and two, as a trophy of the Allied victory in WWII. It's not for everyone, but there are a number of collectors out there who all have their own motivations for collecting.

thanks always wondered that. Make sense.

I bought a new Mec-Gar 13 rounder for $30. and a PCI ? (forget the exact name of the brand) for $19.

I'm pretty sure I overpaid, but I got sick of walking around looking so I just bought what I could find

 

[Jimbob2.0]

Here was my pick-up now I had a chance to get photos, a nice 1942 matching, walnut stocked K31, not perfect, some dings (particularly on the buttstock) but very nice compared to what you see these days.

$270 total out the door.

Unfortunately, no troop tag.

Now I need to figure out how to get the bolt back in!

The M1A rifle is banned, so not legal in MD. If you want to get one, it will have to be a stripped receiver (build into pistol), or select fire NFA item.

i was just looking at mainstream ammo and i don't think i saw anything i couldn't find somewhat cheaper online. didn't used to be that way.

You can get away with a Polytech M14S but its unclear if you can do the USGI bolt conversion. Poly bolts are soft.........the rest of the gun very well built (but crudely finished).

Search and you will find some threads on the matter.
