I went and picked up a Mosin M44 for $80. I've had a C&R for over a year now but had never done a purchase from a dealer (other than over the phone or internet) before. I asked the vendor what I needed to do to make the purchase and he nodded toward a sheet of paperwork. I think it was the Federal check. I told him I had a copy of my C&R license and he said, "In that case I just need to see it and some ID and you're all set." $80 and a minute or so later I was walking away with the rifle. Nice and easy.
SSWEEEEEEET!

Congrats Vince.
Now that you know how easy it is, you'll probably be looking for a lot of overtime.....

I get plenty of that but it never seems to go as far as I'd like it to. You cant beat the cheap 7.62x54R ammo. In a few years it will probably be $.50 a round!
Plus, I need a bigger gun safe now.

Overall it was a nice show. My only real complaint was that it was about 85 degrees in that place! Everyone's walking around drenched in sweat.
Picked up a 40 round mag for my AK and an all-black 30 rd AR mag. Also found some hard-to-find Cor Bon DPX ammo for my carry gun.
I was disappointed in general at the firearm prices there. Most C&R guns that I was looking for were more expensive by far than what I could get mail-order. I wanted to pick up a K98 Mauser but prices were in the upper $200's for some questionable condition guns they had. For that price I'll order from Classic firearms and get much better condition.

It was hot in there. I went up on Saturday looking to pick up some mags for the AK and I found what I was looking for - 30rd plum Bulgarian waffle mags. Been trying to find that color at a show for a while.
Colt 32rd mags for the 9mm AR were expensive. One table had them for $125 for the 32rd and $65 for the 20 rd. Last show in Dulles same lady had them for $100 for the 32 rd, which was too high - considering I bought them for $55 about a year ago from the same place. Another guy had them for $70 but I passed. I did pick up a C-products steel 32 rd 9mm mag to try out in the AR.
Saw a milled Arsensal with thumbhole stock for $225, wish I could have jumped on that.
Someone said one table had Glock auto sears for sale for around $500. I did not check into what that was all about.
Picked up a Glock 33 rd mag - I always end up getting one of those at every show.
Saw a few AK recievers for sale too, looking into getting one of those in the future for a build
