    How are the ammo prices at this show? I've found shows to be hit or miss in the past.

    Those who are going on Friday, and live in AAC, if you come across any H335, Varget or BLC(2) I would be most grateful and I'll pay your entrance fee into the show :D.

    I was there today. I am starting to think that these three powders don't exist and us remembering that we had some at one time, or a little bit of a canister left is only a figment of our imagination.

    Any Tavors. ...aka the Hebrew Hammer?

    The dealer I got mine from was there, 16 black $1999, 18 FDE $2099 and 16 black lefty for $2099. I had my Md shooters hat on and didn't see any other Md guys. Saw pmag black gen2 no window for 5/$50, I got some Lancer FDE for $15 each, PMC Xtac 62gr for $8 a box. I feel sorry for you guys that just got an AK74- Bulgarian new production all poly $27 each and surplus at $40. Wow too much. Bulgarian 7.62 30rd waffles at $36. And I have never seen so many AR's at one show. Surplus 5.45 at $200 a spam can, 7.62 Wolf etc $250 per k, some guy that really loved his Golden Tiger 5.45 at $8 a box of twenty, he still has it all. Plenty of everthing, some at a good price.

    Lots of overpriced and you had to look for the deals. The $36 ak mags we arsenal waffle mags about the best deal at the show everything else was pretty expensive. Pmags were plentiful as stated not many 40 rounders though and they were like $20 each. I can give more details if interested. Fde and od mags were more expensive then black obviously.

    Is it just me or does anyone else find that 90% of the vendors are real aholes? I was seriously looking at several booths yet no one wanted to talk to me and these folks were sitting there with their fingers in ears doing nothing. Heck one guy was watching cartoons on his computer.

    There were 3 vendors there that I found had Tavors.

    Dennis Todd (mainly sells pmags and uppers at the show, and machine guns out (NFA) of their shop in PA) (had 1 R)

    SSG Tactical, Fredricksburg, VA (had 2 righties and 1 leftie)

    Dark Sun Surplus, Richmond, VA (had 1 R)

    Dark Sun had the best price @ $1899 but refused (after taking 10 minutes holding my ID behind the counter dicking around with other crap) to sell to MD residents. They said the ATF would come knocking on their door and mine @ 6am. At that point I knew they were a bunch of morons. The idiots they had working behind the counter were BSing and talking on cell phones (one guy was a really bad Kid Rock look alike, at least he thought so) the entire time.

    Moved on to Dennis Todd and spoke with them. $2100 and they would cover the transfer to a VA dealer who would then transfer to me. Nice people, they were busy.

    Then on to SSG. They had them for $1999. The problem was they only had 1 leftie. Only problem is I'm a L that shoots R.

    So I ended up working out a deal with Dennis Todd, transfered to SSG, and then C&C to me.

    The guys at SSG were great. They had a ton of long and hand guns.

    Ammo was mostly overpriced. Nothing there better that what you could find at WM or your LGS. The first heart stopper was a Rem 22LR bucket for $150. The second stopper was the same bucket at another vendor for $170. Crazy. Dick's, of all people, sell them for $60.

    The best deal I saw was 2k rounds of Lake City green tips for $800. But then you gotta carry them.

    Besides the idiots at Dark Sun (the J... G... of VA), were the MF'ers that don't wear deodorant. Good lord, there is a WM next door. Spend a dollar.

    Anyway, at least I was able to get something....and when I left, Dark Sun still had that Tavor :lol2: idiots!!!! and Kid Rock saw me with mine.
