I know that the French are known for their cheeses, but this is a bit too radical for my pallet.

Just got back.
2 buildings open, the main one & the one opposite at the gate.
Busy show, but a few more fantasy knife & non gun tables than I remember. Tables spaced out a bit more than usual so the aisles are easier to walk through.
A couple of ammo vendors, several "Taktikool" stands & the usual mix 'n match of new, old & antique stuff.
No radical deals, but I picked up some decent bits & pieces & covered my admission fee & then some. Crates of el-cheapo Moisin Nagants & lots of tarted up mini-14's changing hands.

Nothing too exciting there, did see a nice 1896 Krag rifle that at $750 was a pretty good deal. Bought a Spyderco Police knife from one of the big knife vendors.

Watch your credit card bill if you bought from these people:

Show was pretty darn crowded compared to previous shows. I was looking for a WASR underfolder or a Gew.98. I left empty handed, hopefully I'll have better luck next weekend at Timonium. The pit beef wasn't a bad lunch.
Exactly what I was looking for, too. Nothing spotted. What I'd really like to find is a Polish AKM underfolder.
One of the dealers had a bunch of nice-looking Stag ARs that I was eyeballing.
Show was packed around 2pm when I got there. Really started to thin out and much easier to browse around 3pm.

Been and back too. Yes... it was very crowded. For two buildings worth of stuff, there really wasn't a whole lot of value to look at. Of all the guns, I think the best deals were at one table... guess which one? S&W M and P's in 9mm for $369; Beretta 90-two's with extra mags $469 (I think); and a bunch of Glocks in 40S&W for less than $400. There were a couple of nice Ruger 22 pistols at Accurate for decent money... I've got to sell my High Standard before I scratch THAT itch though.
Non-gun stuff:
The food was pretty good. I opted for the pit beef sandwich, but the fries got cold pretty quick being outside. Still better than most gun show fare.
Knives... if you need a blade, there were plenty of them there at all price points.
Storage... I thought the 50 cal ammo cans for $10 was a good deal too
Overall, I think there are worse ways to blow $20 but I think in the future, I'll save the time, effort, and energy next time and just stay home. I'll put the $20 into the gun fund...

Collector's show, my a**! The same old selection and vendors as every show I have been to at that location, in fact I thought there were less historic firearms at this one than last time.

it was very crowded in the morning. people were getting impatient. the ammo dealers were not discounting anything unfortunately given all the interest. still managed to get a few boxes of home defense ammo at a very good price.
