Decent show for MD. I was tempted on a few shotguns but kept walking.
Who was wearing the SOTAR shirt? I was going to say hi but my youngest son side tracked me.

Saw you in the small building, but lost sight of you. I was trying to explain to my 7 yo why he couldnt get an $1100 AR for his birthday. He has good taste though
I scored some light reading material
Yea.....definitely not buying that title on kindle.

Thinking of heading over. Any chance there’s Mosins available?

Whats the barrel length on the Ruger American?
Good to know but that’s not the reason I wouldn’t buy it online. Score for you for sure.

I thought the show sucked...small crowd and less vendors than ever. Gun prices are up and not much interesting...at least for me. It must make the antis in Annapolis happy as it seems their dreams are coming true.

Just got back myself but wasn’t looking for anything in particular. Chatted with Bigfoot and Fidelity. Joined MSI.

Stop Negassing me!!!!!
This is why I only rarely bother with MD shows anymore as my interests also fall outside what Maryland shows now offer. Howard County used to be the bees knees but the Annapolis libs have gutted it. I did go last fall and there was a G36 conversion I liked. But the price was insane and I couldn't have bought the standard capacity magazine so I would have essentially had a single shot load by hand rifle. Better to buy it at a larger out of state show where the price would be more inline with reality AND I could have taken the magazine with me. It's sad. I used to really enjoy the Frederick show back in the day.

I thought prices were a bit higher than normal. I left with some yugo 8mm that I thought was a fair price.
I’ll be at timonium next weekend.

I agree. Most of what I saw was either overpriced or rusty junk. If you were looking for AR lowers, they were there and they were all priced at about $120 regardless of mfg. I only saw one item that was worth buying but I was not in the market for one so, I passed.
If anyone is looking for one of those old Ruger blackpowder revolvers, there is a blued one in the original box, located along the wall as you walk in the main bldg. Asking price was $550.
Other than that, the show was very disappointing. I don't usually walk into a show with a wad full of cash and walk out with absolutely nothing! I did drop a $20 donation to MSI though. Stopped by a couple of gun shops on the way home and wasn't impressed with the quality of their inventory either.
I saw it for $6 a box, that was a fantastic price.
