    Yeah don't bother comparing online mag prices with gun show prices. You won't get anywhere near that. I have a vp9 so same mags and last time I went to this show, there was only one table that had those mags (Think they were called Mags R Us) and they were 50 bucks a pop.

    Thanks and good to know. $50 for those mags? Wow, don't know what to say...
    Gas cost, entry fee, 30%markup is not motivating me to make the drive.

    I have been getting them shipped to my friend in Hanover and make a trip up once every couple months. I'll just keep going that route.

    Bought a whole passel of AK mags (30/20rd) there last time. Guy had a box of them that were listed as "dented". It's important WHERE the dents are, but I bought a bunch for $50. Shot rounds multiple times through all of them. 1 bad one. (took it apart and fixed it) As far as prices go, once you add shipping, the price difference disappears. I am also a C&R junkie (I admit my addiction) and a budding gunsmith. I mostly go to the show to meet and talk to people. There's a world of good information to be had the the show. I usually go on Sunday and make a whole day of it. I'll be wearing one of my Rick3Bears Pro Firearms Care sweatshirts. See ya there!

    I'm planning to go out Fri afternoon before rush hour and return after. I've gone for Saturday opening in the past and that's not too bad but it does get busy by late morning. Enjoy!

    Looks like their web site is down but Facebook confirms a show this weekend?

    Yep, still down. I wondered if it wasn't some sort of denial of service attack ontheir website.

    I'm heading down Saturday morning as well.

    Buy the upper you want from Precision Firearms. Then buy the lower from a md dealer.

    Cold must have kept the crowds down some today. I got there at 2:40, doors opened at 2:55, and I was inside by 3:00. I was very limited on time so basically jogged everywhere, but seemed like this one had more C&R to offer than the last (that's what I was there for), also looked like a decent selection of ammo too.

    How were the crowds?

    I only stayed for about an hour, but crowds did not seem too bad. At least seemed less crowded to me than the last two shows there. The last show I waited almost an hour to get in once doors opened, today I was in within 5 min of doors opening.
