Ammo is like food
MD gunshows are not even worth the entry fee and should be called the knife/jerkey/jewlery show I am going to a real show York next weekend
You looking for the GI kit that goes in the rifle butt?
That's it.
There's a guy from Ellicott City who sells parts for Garands and M-14s who always has those, but I haven't seen him lately.
He was at the Fredrick show and the Howard County show.
I think his shop name is Ellicot Depot. He sells on ebay.

SOOO glad you added "rifle"...
I understood what both Mr H and Overboost were saying and both were right in their own way, as for Lou ... yup I understood that too.
There is no haggling with Fred! My total was $46.65 and he asked for $47 because he did not have change.
Not an item of interest, so I honestly don't know. Sorry.
I guess I need to clarify a couple of things...
Some here know that I've been pretty vocal about MD gun shows needing better participation (vendors and public) in order to thrive. The fact that this show sold out tables, IMO, is something of note. People coming to buy is important, too.
My comment about how good the show is, is simply about vendor participation and variety. Prices are not my problem. You (generically) want lower prices? Talk to the vendors. Seriously. Many of them will gladly charge what the market will bear. Others (like Lou) will be fair. It's up to the consumer to set the price point.
My prior post was partly intended to be tongue-in-cheek, but also to indicate that this particular show seems to be improving.
It was an ok show. There really was not a lot of guns, though. Ammo prices were high (who pays these) and most new guns were higher than retail. Used guns had some decent prices and the dealers were willing to hear reasonable offers.
I challenge the "most new guns were higher than retail". It is hard for me not to take that personally. Please come point that out to me at Timonium in 3 weeks. Just ask for Fred.
