    Was there with my family- didn’t see MSI? Not too crowded around 10:30, got the mags I was looking for and a knife that seemed cool- mission accomplished. Taking family to lunch and wife wanted to hit some other shops up here so all good.

    Wasn’t sure on CCW etiquette - I asked at the entry table and they zip tied mine.

    Stopped by from about 9:45-11:00. Plenty of ammo at about the same prices as in the LGS in Frederick area. Bought some CCI .22LR $15/100 and 300 Win. Super X HP in .22LR-- $40./box. Didn't see much in the non-tactical Shottie category I was looking for. Couple of shield arms 15 rounders for the G43X---$35 ea. Finished the day w/ a few pints of pickles to make my little girl happy--

    Turned out to be a pretty good show for me. Magazines, upper receiver, powder ( everyone must have been blind because it was only $20 per pound. sorry if you missed out but, I bought all he had.) and an excellent condition older model 10X Leupold w/ medium height 1/4 min. target knobs, A/O for a price that was too good to pass up. Saw a few friends, one I had not seen in years. Talked with the ATF guys before leaving, looks like they may be forced to vaccinate or lose their jobs.

    edit, the powder actually worked out to be $16 per pound!

    There was a vender with powder at 45 a pound. Thought that was way high then next vender had it at 48. Glad I have a good supply. Ammo was all over the place and so was price. Igman 9mm for 20 a box was the cheapest I saw. Lot of AR parts, not much in surplus rifles. I was somewhat disappointed overall but may be the new normal in shows.

    Anyone see red dot for sale.

    Yes. There were several vendors selling optics. One in particular had a wide variety, far right as you enter the doorway, last (?) table in first row.


    Not a large crowd from what I saw. One vendor was talking to a friend and said he only did $1000 of business all day... which from the way he said it was exceptionally bad.

    I read it as Alliant Red Dot, the powder. But I shoot mostly shotgun and Red Dot is a popular shotgun powder. I guess it just depends on your perspective.

    I would be interested what other powder was there.

    Definitely not as large as last year from what I remember and last time I went to one there. I’ve been looking for Shield Arms 15rd mags for the G43x for some time now and finally found them. The Mag guy just to the right of the entrance never fails to have the obscure or hard to find ones.
