Nice show, lots of tables, decent crowd but plenty of isle room.

Good finds on AR Mags.
Gen2 30rd PMags $11-13
Gen2 30rd PMags with window $14-16
Gen3 30rd PMags $14
Gen3 30rd PMags with window $15-20
Only one dealer with Lancer mags $16-22

Ruger LC9 extended mags $38
Mini 14 30rd factory $38

Glock mags were high I thought. Factory G17 33rd mags going for $40
There were some of the new Magpul Glock mags.
M1A 20rd no-names were $22-$30

Some very nice O/U trap & skeet shotguns. SXS too. High $$ but seemed willing to negotiate. Reugers Lugers was busy. Lots of M1 Carbines with prices all over the place($700-$1100+).

Ammo (other than .22lr) was priced fair. Case prices were only slightly higher than online. I found some good buys for small quantity stuff.
AR uppers - most were average quality or bargain assorted components
Glock installs while you wait
Custom Kydex
Pickles
Books
Reloading supplies
Jerky
Hot packs
Jewelry, leather, stickers, cheap knives and some other flea market stuff.
Accurate Pawn is there, and they are offering to do MD transfers.

I thought is was worth the drive from AACO.

I spent a couple hours browsing the show, spoke with a few people and picked up some powder and primers. I've wanted some sort of Swiss rifle for a while I found a good deal on a Swiss 1911 carbine & was pretty excited when I got home and found the tag under the butt plate. Now I just need to clean it and get ready to take it out to AGC this weekend.

How much does Accurate pawn do transfers for?

crolfe1984 · Feb 12, 2016

I believe Gus charges $40 for non-regulated and $50-$60 for handguns, but I'll let them clarify.

I was at the show from 3-8 and found it to be pretty much what the others said. Not too crowded at all. Busy but plenty of room to move around and not really any wait at any given vendor. Definitely not hectic. There were deals to be had and of course some nice stuff to eye ball outside of my price range. Good time. $12 if you print off the online $1 coupon. Barely worth the printer ink but it's something.

I'm leaving at 8:00am from Annapolis if anyone wants a free ride.

atblis · Feb 13, 2016

Accurate quoted me $25 for a non regulated transfer.

Powder is getting competitive. Shopped around and ended up getting Longshot for 22.50 a pound. Everybody else wanted $28.

Melnic · Feb 13, 2016

At show Sunday

I'll be at Chantilly Sunday shortly after 10am. Would love to say Hi to any MDS people who are there. I'll be wearing a black Rick3bears Pro Firearms Care sweatshirt.

15 mins to find parking... Yowzers.

Heading to the madness now!

Melnic · Feb 13, 2016

The new area had an entrance to pay and get in also.
C&R items were no bargains there
30 round pmags as low as $11:50
Lots of 22 priced 7-10 cents per round plus the scalpers

Mike OTDP · Feb 13, 2016

Good show, but they really need to address the parking issue.

ironpony · Feb 13, 2016

I enjoyed it!
Found some G19 Pmags. @ $16. Ammo was at gunshow pricing, as most other items. Saw one Keltec S2K gen2 sell for $525, .40 though. Thanks Cover 6 Tactical for powder and primers.
Found it true that Firearm vendors will just walk away from you once MD is mentioned!!! I thought you all were kidding. I forgot to get another Fat Fifty.
Hit a now storm on 495 30 mph and low visibility ~75 yds.
Yup, parking was easy at 8:55 but difficult to get out due to so many people.

Mr H · Feb 13, 2016

Saw some decent prices on guns, but ammo was all over the map.

I actually chuckled aloud when I was a Win 555 box for almost $60!

I can now say I've been, I guess... though I did pick up a couple Blue Lives Matter t-shirts.

BearArms · Feb 14, 2016

Agree that ammo was all over the map. I went looking for some oddball calibers and my dad really likes the old Winchester Silver Tips so I pick them up when I see them. Was looking to see how the Nosler Trophy Grade stuff shot in my 35 Whelen, and the only one who looked like they might have it was the lady in the "addon" room. But the boxes were all laid on their side not displaying the caliber *twitch* Who does that?! At that point my dogs were barking and I was about done.

Some OK deals on shotguns but nothing that followed me home. My buddy came away with some Georgia Arms ammo and some mags for his mouse gun.

Rick3bears · Feb 14, 2016

Didn't make it to show. Had senior moment leaving the house. Got all the way to Rt 28 and realized I had no wallet with me. Because I was carrying, I turned around and drove home, very carefully.
Got home and thought F it. There will be another one. Now I'm safely ensconsed in my home, in my sweats, warm, cat asleep in my lap, reading the latest Gun World. Did someone say nap?

Melnic · Feb 14, 2016

BTW
There were HBAR delton AR kits (less lower) in the back of the new annex for about $450
$390 I recall for upper only w/ BCG
Pretty much mail order prices but in hand if you were looking for one.
