Figures.....that's the kickoff of my 8 day fishing tournament down on the Potomac.

Anybody want to pick me up in DC?

I could, you want one of my bikes? I keep one chained up at the Supreme court building.

I want to go to this show just for the spectacle of it all. I mentioned earlier that I'll be looking for inexpensive reloading stuff, but I also want to see how well the antique market is represented. Last of all, I'd like to see if I can find a used, reasonably priced Marlin 39A - older, with smooth walnut stocks. My Dad had one that I referred to as "mine" while I was growing up and I'd like to replace it if possible.

PM bigbrad. He had one for sale, I don't know it's condition. My Marlin 39A may be my favorite weapon of all the guns I own. That rifle is beyond compare in my opinion.

My sister was supposed to run the bid for Dad's 39A at the auction my Mom had. (I know, I STILL don't want to talk about it.) She got confused about what was what and the bidding was finished by the time she got it figured out. My thought was that at some point in the future I would buy it off of her - I can't imagine that she'll really want to keep the guns she took home. In any case, that one is gone, hence the reason I'll be scouring the gun shows for a good used one in the same age range as ours.

I agree - the Marlin 39A I had was beyond compare - it was the most accurate .22 rifle in the collection and functioned flawlessly every time I took it out, no matter what kind of ammo I fed it.

Vintage Cup is soon too

If you want to really see the vintage stuff, The Vintage Cup is going to be Sept 25 - 28 at Pintail Point on the east side of the bay bridge. Bring a very very deep wallet and you can order a new Purdey or H&H shotgun for 100K +++. Lots of Parkers, Foxs and Smiths and most of the serious national dealers will be there with their best stuff, shotguns and real big bore double rifles, stuff like .577 NE. It is a lot of fun. www.vintagers.org I will be there Sat & Sunday.

Well I'm going to try and make it, Oddly I found this out after I booked to work an event at one of the airport hotels about a mile away Sat evening. Figure I'll go down early and look around. Guess i'll change in the car, don't want to get a suit all oiled up handling guns etc.

NittanyLion · Sep 11, 2008

Well I just got approval from the CFO to pickup shotgun #2 for our top level hideout area. And, I'll just happen to be out in the area on Saturday, so looks like I'll be stopping by the Chantilly show again.

Planning to get just a basic Remington 870 Express 18" 7-shot in black. With the current rebates it should come in at less than $300, so hopefully someone will have one.

I'm looking to pick up some 30rd AR mags and possibly a complete AR upper. Is this a good show for these? I've never been to any other than Timonium.

I'll bring some cash, but most vendors these days will find themselves losing business if they don't have the ability to do CC transactions. When I was at the Silverado Gun Show a few weeks back, most of the vendors there had the capability to use CC.

one dollar off coupon on above website

Friday $18.00 for a 3 day pass or $12.00 each day for adults

amish · Sep 12, 2008

Personally, I like to pay cash whenever I can. a) who knows what data CC companies collect and pass along; and most importantly b) cause it helps give the dealer better margins, and I definitely believe in supporting dealers in this way.

PresentArms · Sep 12, 2008

look at the size of this show

kohburn · Sep 12, 2008

i'm planning on going, just haven't decided which day or how long i think i'll spend there.

DZ · Sep 12, 2008

navycrna · Sep 12, 2008
