do they sell different kinds of black powder percussion caps also ?

I got some RWS musket caps and a spare nipple for my civil war Springfield there last year. I had to ask a few people before I found one that had a stash

What sort do you need? Musket caps or #11s?

I definitely won't miss the show this time, so looking forward to that day

How so?

Last time I went to this show (years ago), I got scammed. I'm looking for a Gew 98 and this might be the place to find it. I'll be more careful when inspecting the firearm this time.

What happened and what can I do to avoid such a thing?

I was sold/purchased a rewat. It was well done and a beautiful gun, but a rewat nonetheless. I was looking for a nice shooter. I was shy on cash and the guy said "give me $400 now and mail me the rest later." I should have known better.

Am getting excited.... it's Comicon time! (My wife calls this show Comicon for gun nerds).

Been saving my pennies. This may be the last time it is truly epic in MD. Usually, you can get a rifle at this show without going through an FFL, but I fear this will be the last year for private transfers of long-guns. Thanks for f**king up another good thing, MGA.

I was not familiar with the term "rewat" and had to look it up. Sorry to hear that happened.

Doctor_M · Mar 10, 2020

On major example missing from my collection is any type of Krag... that may be my mission this year.

I don't want to jinx it, but has anyone heard anything about this show being cancelled due to virus panic. I was glad to hear Big Larry say that he was not going to mandate the closure of "large gatherings" like CA and WA have done.

Fingers crossed that it goes forward.

Comigun? Sounds too much like commiegun... which is fine but may lead to incorrect assumptions.

Maybe Gunnicon?

I regret to say that I've heard this year's show has been cancelled. Which is a great pity, it's the one gun show in this entire region that I regard as a must-make show.

Confirmed.

Due to Hogan's 250 person limit.

This is tough on MACA, who sponsors the show, as well as the exhibitors from all over the world, who just got the rug yanked from under them 8 days before they're due to arrive.

Very sad... this is one of those events that was lifting my spirits ... feels a little like canceling Christmas.

noddaz · Mar 13, 2020

Wow.

I was also looking forward to this. Maybe next year.

Bummer, but it was hot enough in there last year to turn it into a big petri dish.
