I must say as a noob this was a great show for me. Last week's Harford County show was my first and not really what I was expecting. I actually didn't know what to expect, but had been there before for tool shows and knew that the venue wasn't big at all. The Howard County show on the other hand was much more what I was expecting and what a great time. I'm actually happy that I didn't have much time to spend there because I know the time to money ratio would have greatly gone in the wrong direction. I got in, did a quick sweep of the place, and grabbed what I wanted and left within an hour. Definitely a great show that I would love to spend some more time at that work is prohibiting for tomorrow. I can't wait to hit on of the PA shows you guys talk about. I'm sure I will be blown away.

Those Mini 14's Lou has are really nice. I saw him sell at least four of them this morning before 10:30. If you want one you better get there in the next hour or so.

They way I saw that they were selling today, I do not expect there to be any tomorrow.

i dont but i always miss the good stuff

Had to go back to the shop after the show closed today to load up several more Ruger Stainless GB Mini-14's to take to the show Sunday morning. There will be wood stocked and black polymer stocked GB Mini-14's waiting at Shooters Discount Sunday morning for those that weren't able to make it to the show Saturday.

Tom,

I love your new additions!!! I can't wait to meet you at the range and check them out. Hopefully those ammo boxes are full!

Congratulations!

I also saw Discount selling the GB's like concert tickets. If I didn't have two plus an AC, I would get one. New ones are basically twice the price.

Not a lot of good deals other than that. I still want another M&P 15-22, but the only basic one that I saw was $489. That is what I paid for my 15-22 MOE. There was a dealer there from Hagerstown (3R) with some really good prices on Rugers. I saw a 10/22 at another table for $309 and the guy from Hagerstown had the same model for $214.

Way back when, I bought my GP100 from 3R.
They had good prices on Rugers back then.

Ran into a couple of MDS folks today at the show.
Good to know we are out there.

mstraus · Sep 17, 2011

Got my primers from 3R. Nice guy.

JCB003 · Sep 17, 2011

I still haven't been able to get to Mt Airy to check out the Mini's. I must have one. I thought I would be able to slip out one day but it hasn't worked out. Howard County tomorrow isn't going to happen, so I'm holding out and hoping there will be some left for Timonium show in a couple of weeks. I've managed to keep most of the cash from being spent, but if I wait much longer the Mini's or the cash will be gone.

stevekaw · Sep 18, 2011

Didn't buy anything major, but I appreciate that the aisles at this show are wide and crowding is minimal, even when things are busy!

Rickhead · Sep 18, 2011

I'd have bought one of the excellent Mini-14's from Shooters Discount but didn't have enough cash. Maybe I should sell some of my extra firearms, if there is such a thing.

BrianinMd · Sep 18, 2011

It was ok. I did see some good sales there. It was nice to go and spend a Saturday and support the vendors.

bbrown · Sep 18, 2011

On the way to the Marriottsville range this morning I made a side trip back to the show, and picked up the Winchester 94 Ranger AE in .30-30. Just had to get my first lever gun.

What a beautiful day to be outside. :thumbsup:

OK, now you all did it.

Shooters Discount will be there with some really good deals on some nice stuff (guns). I'm not going to name any specific makes or models as some have yet to arrive. If all comes in on a timely basis, alot of folks won't be dissapointed.

Lou,

you had a nice display. I was going to say hello but you were filling out paperwork as usual.

Johnthetoolguy · Sep 18, 2011

Funny how this gun show thread turned into a "Shooter's Discount at the gun show" thread.

clarkcondor · Sep 18, 2011

In general a good show for Maryland. Plenty of room with wide aisles. Beef jerky was available. Shooters Discount was by far the busiest vendor while I was there. Thinking about going to Harrisburg...
