Is that the booth with the Maryland flag? Oh wait that would make it easier to find.

First time at this show. Took my son and he had a blast looking around at all the goodies.
Picked up a VP9 mag (MD mag capacity nonsense sucks), a McLean Corp AR sling and finally pulled the trigger on an 308 upper. The lower has been waiting patiently for a couple years lol.

I'm helping my friend build a lower. Grabbed some stuff from precision (they're always super nice) and some odds and ends here and there

Not sure of your reason(s), so I hope you're okay.
I'm probably done with Dulles for a while, too. Long way to drive, way too much traffic, parking sucks, and the aisles are so crowded with dumbasses clustered like cattle that it's hard to get around. If there were something I really wanted, like standard mags, I might go. Might save some money, too.

A guy from MoCo brought his pet pig. She was polite enough, but a bit standoffish. Possibly she took offense at my comment about bacon on the hoof.
He sells the PVC target stands and steel gongs, I thought about bacon as well when I saw the pig.
I picked up 2 50rd boxes of the 40 S&W HST & 2 50rd boxes of Remington .45 HP from the nice lady that Bigfoot44 mentioned and picked up 2 31rd Glock 22 mags for my new Sub2K from the other vender. Also picked up a case for the Sub2K and found a standard mag for my P14 for just $10. Over all it was worth the trip.
Was very disappointed that the CZ dealer wasn’t there this time. I bought some paper targets to offset the entry fee and avoid shipping, but it wasn’t the best show, perhaps due to the holiday.

This was my first gun show on 30 December 2017 and I was blown away at the amount of guns and vendors who were there. I was happy to see a couple of MD vendors who were able to better explain the crazy MD gun laws to me such as the 10 rd magazine thingy. I was a little frustrated to see that after looking at a couple of people post about this specific show that vendors were over priced. I think for a MD resident I will rely on the VA gunshows for accessories that I can't get in MD.

Hey Guys - I haven't been to this gun show before, but will I find a decent selection of powders and primers?
Yes,
In the smaller section on the left you will see the old guy with the big wooden crates and also my favorite, Cover Six in the middle in the back. there may be others but don't recall. They will bring bullets as well.
I like Cover Six because they are friendly, sometimes has other stuff I want and the older guy's wife was REALLY GRUMPY and RUDE back a few years ago to me.
SOMETIMES, the best primer and bullet prices are with people who are not selling powder. Sometimes you will have tables where they will have a small box of some pills you need and like $10 a box just to get rid of them (I see that at the MD shows too)
Locally, if I need primers, I stop by 2A sales cause sometimes they have it and they are friendly enough I don't mind paying extra compared to a show. Powder, I go to Basspro if I'm not about to go to Chantilly anytime soon.
