    I went to Big Dog Outfitters instead, and picked up a bunch of normal capacity mags, two 12 rounders for my new SIG 365, and some other stuff. Their prices are great, selection is better than most, and the staff is super friendly and helpful. I like that they remember my name, but maybe that means I've been a bad boy? And it's about the same distance as the York show.

    Ed, are they just over the bridge? Do they carry used guns?

    I think they're about 10 miles south of the bridge. And yes, they have used and consignment stuff, as well as a whole lot of MD legal stuff, which is conveniently labelled with little MD flags. It's about an hour and a half from Annapolis down 301.

    Did you notice what the poly 80 frames were going for?

    The ones that I saw, in the right side hall, way over to the left side, were $115, with the red jig. they had the parts sets (complete slide and lower parts set), with a Glock box for around $425. The build one cost is about the same as buying a new one.

    I picked up a very nice blued, S & W 19-5, with a 4" barrel, in .357, for a good price, and SCSG was there to do the transfer. Thanks' Brian.
    I bought a 5 standard capacity pistol mags as well from some other dealers, at decent prices.

    The M1 Carbines and Garand prices were high, as were a lot of other older guns.
    I saw a far amount of good to far deals on some other guns, but after I bought the Model 19-5, it had to be something I really wanted before I opened my wallet that wide again.

    The show wasn't overly crowded, but there were a lot more people there then at the Harrisburg show last weekend. The left side hall was a little thin, but another Maryland dealer, SMAs was in there by the front entrance.

    :thumbsup:

    I gave that some thought, but they had ordered some P-365 mags for me that came in, and I didn't want them to have to sit on them for another week. And I tried to pay for them over the phone with a credit card, but they just trusted me to come in to pick them up. Gotta love old fashioned trust and customer service.

    I went yesterday. Failed to sell my CZ 52 but I did pick up a RPR in .22 from bench top gunsmithing. Some ammo and mags to go with it. I also bought 2 m-lok side mounted bipods and I only needed one. I guess I got a spare in case the first breaks.

    Went not too bad but not too great, hard to judge mid-day Sunday. Managed to snag a few things on my want list and impulse bought two in the wrap like from the importer (two pack plastic with paper inside and label)east german bakelites, paid too much for them but they are going in the collector bin. Got a standard products M1 Carbine mag for $15.

    Picked up some magpul 300 blackout mags (not sure why a different mag is necessary but they were cheap) and some of their AK74 mags for $10 each probably should have bought more but without knowing how they run its hard to buy in quantity.

    If I had been shopping for guns there were a few deals, a couple ok M1 carbines for $800 only problem was they were import marked, if the IBM hadn't been it would have come home with me. A fair number of Savage 99s at decent prices, but nine in a caliber I was looking for.

    Only saw one overpriced Ruger PC and only saw one overpriced 10/22 takedown in stainless and it wasn't the configuration I am looking for. Guy with all of the beltfed stuff had a Romy G kit for $500 that was minty, probably should have bought it. It was tucked in his stack of plain cardboard boxes.

    There were some odds and ends that if I had more space I might have considered.

    Probably not worth the time but I haven't done it in a while.

    My son & I went today hoping for an Enfield, Springfield, 1917, P-14 or M-1 find. As someone above said, there were few older military rifles & prices were high. :sad20: There were a lot of interesting handguns, but since we live below the Free America Border, the only way to get them was via transfer. I saw a lot of various magazines with a range of prices. We got some reasonable ammo deals. I was eye-balling a Mossberg or two, but I could never explain to the wife why I needed another (Mossberg, that is). Although there are more & more flea market knives & non-firearm junk, it was still a nice show and a pleasant way to spend some time & money. One never knows what may turn up. I usually prefer Saturdays, to get the cheap odds & ends, but there was a battle to be fought Saturday (Allied & Axis Match). I'll be going to the next Yorkie.:party29:

    I went Saturday and it wasn't crowded at all. Picked up some pelican knock off cases. And some mags.
