Wanted to go but again, too many things need to be done. Wanted to see if they had Garand food since my Pastor said he trained on them when he joined the navy and i offered to let him shoot mine. For my sanity i'm hoping you all say there was none to be had.

A pretty site. For a Virginia resident, it's a new toy ;-).

Can’t imagine a gun show anywhere not having 30.06, but I wasn’t particularly looking for it.

Bought:
*500rds Federal XM193, in the blue AE boxes, $159
*250rds XM556FBIT3, bulk on clips, $95
*Defender Ammuniton 77gr SMK 5.56, $32/50rd

Dominion Defense has the trash can of police surplus shotguns again, one of which may accompany me home on Sunday. Also a Colt 6721 (MD legal) but it was large FCG pin.

Looked for 77gr FGMM and/or Black Hills Mk262 to no avail. If anyone sees some please LMK who has it.

Lots of Chinese AR parts, and builds with said parts on Anderson or other random lowers. (I’m becoming a snob, sorry). Saw a few Colts, most of which we can’t have, and a growing number of AR10 clones, which we can buy.

MSI is along the front wall, in between the two entrances. Saw ShaftEd putting out the good word.

Any deals on Fed HST 147gr 9mm HP?

Saw 2 Savage 1917's in 380. One looked good with a slight divet in the grips and the other with cracked grips. Tempting, but decided to stay focused on grendel stuff.

Oh, and bought some jerky and a nice NRA camo hat.

Where did you see them in show?

How big is the show? I’m going either way, but curious.

It's about 8 football fields worth of tables.

One on the right wall (facing back wall) in main hall towards front - had divot in grip, didn't see other side of pistol. It was in a case thrown in with various other pistols.

Don't remember the other - think it was very near the first, up towards the food stand, last table in the long line closest to food stand.

Thanks', I will keep an eye out for them.

For the first time I got some reloading supplies for 7.7 Japanese and .45 Autorim.

JohnnyE · Apr 13, 2019

I went there today (Saturday) was looking for some mags from my go-to, Dennis Todd, but he wasn't there?! Der, it's the Knob Creek machine gun shoot this weekend. Dennis is a big class 3 dealer, so it figures. Oh well. The promoter Annette told me they'll be at the next Chantilly show. I'll get 'em then. Otherwise the show was OK.

Of course, it is always great dropping by the Maryland Shall Issue table and, as usual, Bigfoot 44 was there along with Terry. Keep up the good work!

What mags did you need? I saw tons! Except the one I wanted, Magpul Gen3 LR/SR in Sand.

Forgot to go back for the ASC Colt SMG mags I saw. For $19.99, I’ll give them a shot...

CrabbyMcNab · Apr 13, 2019

Anyone see a Marlin 1894 SBL? Stainless 44 mag?

One dealer had a bunch of lever guns, including at least one stainless, but they may have all been Henry.

Suomi coffin mags were my primary goal.

gtodave · Apr 14, 2019

That was the biggest show I've ever seen there. I didn't need much, but it was fun to walk around. Picked up some mags and a couple random items.

TheOriginalMexicanBob · Apr 14, 2019

Pretty crowded but always something to see and drool over. I came close to puking once...saw a guy walking around who was a dead-ringer for Brian Frosh.

Ah, gotcha. Kinda exotic! Good luck...

JTH20 · Apr 14, 2019

One of the better Chantilly shows, lots of good stuff and minimal junk.
I was eyeing down a K98 with East German markings but it was gone when I went back.

That would have been a cool snag.
