Chantilly, VA - Nations Gun Show February 13 - 15

I go to Chantilly to look, to buy standard mags, other things I can't get here, and odds and ends, but I'll always support our beleaguered IP's. They're the ones who need our support.

I go to buy mags. Occasionally I'll see a used gun worth buying - I actually picked up a Walther GSP complete with both .22 and .32 uppers about $600 below normal market price.

And a bit of jerky and fudge, of course. :-)

Ghillie suit or Blair witch?

You indeed can cash & carry an HBAR AR. (finding a vendor who understands MD law is probably 50/50 though.) I've bought several rifles at Chantilly in the last 2 years. One rare handgun I had them mail to my FFL back in MD. It is no longer made and I got more than enough of a deal to cover the shipping + transfer fees. I agree it makes no sense fiscally to buy a new handgun there. You can also buy std capacity mags, parts, uppers, ammo, etc. Its a much bigger show than MD shows.

Thank you sir! Answers all my questions and ends my bitch. I understand.

I'm scratching my head about something. Why would any Maryland resident be excited about going to another state to look at everything we can't buy here? It's not like you can go and cash/carry an AR. Once you tack on the processing, wait, and PIA hassle and expense of transferring to an FFL, the "good deal" ain't so good no more.

And besides, soon as you say you're from Maryland to anyone from a fun state, they act like you are contageous and will infect their gun laws.

Was at the last show. Plenty of vendors with HBAR AR's willing to sell cash & carry to MD residents. Some vendors were willing to build MD legal AR's too. Not all vendors, but the ones who read the laws & like $.

Standard capacity magazines.

Neither..... this is what I look like before coffee :lol2:

Seriously tho. I have found that if I approach the vendors and strike up a conversation, be friendly, ask about the guns I'm interested in and don't act like some kind of asshat, that a lot of the vendors will take the time to work with me and get my purchases to me or to my FFL (All Pawn).

Just walk by Dark Sun, he doesn't sell to anyone north of the Potomac. Even if he does have the best price on Rossi 92 carbines ($460).

There is a MD vedor at the show...look for the green cloths tables and alot of military guns

svana · Feb 12, 2015

I'll be there tomorrow at 1, anybody else going to be?

Blaster229 · Feb 13, 2015

Wish there was some way to find out average Glock mag prices before making the haul down there. Anyone have nary a clue about what prices could be? Between $15 and $40, right? LOL

I can try and take a look, but not a glock owner.

smdub · Feb 13, 2015

Glock? They'll be plenty at fair prices. On several occasions there I've bought real G18 and G21 new mags for good prices. ($40 and $20 respectively.) Never seem to be a shortage of those at reasonable prices. The odd/rare stuff (MP5, FN49, etc) can be pricey (or non-existent) depending on the show.

jimbobborg · Feb 13, 2015

Wait for the Magpul Glock mags before buying, they're half the price of genuine Glock mags.

ma_deuce · Feb 13, 2015

I think I'll go. Need some mags and it's a good place to look for old Smiths, my current addiction.

sundaeman · Feb 13, 2015

If anyone happens to notice AR 9mm mags (or a "real" 9mm beta) please drop a note.
-Thanks

I just picked up a G31 with sadly, 1, 10 rounder. I think Magpul are only making 17 mags right now.
