    Is this another edition of the Nations Gun Show that was held at the Dulles Expo Center in Chantilly in early-January? I ask because I thought that these shows were held 4-5 times a year and it seems a bit soon to have another one so soon.

    Same show. It looks like last year they increased the frequency of the shows by one or two. Tough on the wallet.

    I keep asking myself, is it worth the drive to go to this show? Possible I may go if my buddys are willing to tag along. what are the avg cost of mags compared to online sites. for example, I get my HK P30 mags for around $38 each and wilson combat mags for $28-29.

    You can get just about anything cheaper online than a show. Captive audience vs nationwide. Mags at Chantilly are no different.

    Except for the fact that the mag's I want, standard army issue mag's, can't legally be shipped to this state.

    I feel sooooo protected by the gentlemen that implemented the Firearms Safety Act of 2013. :rolleyes:

    Obviously with the state mag limit law, a trip to the show can be worth it.

    I'm not waiting on a CMP carbine but a Carbine mag is on my list.

    I'm going Saturday, Never know when something on my C&R want list will show itself there.

    I need M1 Carbine parts to repair mine. Maybe a stock set or at least a new recoil plate and screw. This trip is for ammo, magazines and C&R. I will see what whispers to me and have a few copies of my license with me just in case. Plus a new railed handguard for my Dissipator. I may actually bring that with me to have it fitted there.

    I may go Sat am. For reloading this couple will be there Cover Six Tactical I've been buying from them since the drought, no affiliation, this is as far North I have seen them. They might have the pmag G17 mags at the show? I've never been to the Chantilly show.

    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.

    I was about to ask the same question. I wonder if they will have another Maryland FFL there just in case I see a sexy lower or something:innocent0
