What was with the guy in the back selling body armor with the signs stating that it will be banned soon? Shady sales tactic or something I've missed?

Like the furniture store with going out of business sales the last ten years..

Other than usual holster purchase from Bullseye Holster, mainly look for ammo.

One vendor has HST Bonded 165 for .40s&w at a screaming $20/50rds . Other than that , a selection of .40 and .38spl from Georgia .

One of the vendors in the small room had extended Korean Glock mags all cals for 2 for $30 , even lower than the usual $17.95 from the mag guy in the back of the big room. But I've got such a stack of Glock mags , even more didn't make the priority cut over stocking up on ammo for the recent purchase from the Gym Ratz thread.

But as usual only had opportunity to skim about 5% of the tables on brief breaks .

I am going down on Sunday, where did you see the HST Bonded 165 40 S&W for$20/50 rounds?
About where in the small room did you see the Glock mags for 2 for $30?

From the MSI booth, head inboard in direction of Bullseye holster booth ( large, easily visable red sign ) . The end table facing the cross asile just before Bullseye has the HST. Mom& Pop , primarily selling boxed factory ammo. I handed a $20 , not sure if there was a recipt placed in bag.

Enter the small room thru the rear passageway , proceede to the last row before the wall . It's near that point, don't recall if cpl tables closer or farther from parking lot , but there's cardboard sign on a large box , and only take about a minute to locate from that starting point.

The Glock mags are across from the guy selling 30 Rd. AR aluminum mags for $5

Went yesterday. Lots of stuff to see. Took us forever to make our way though the whole place. My wife brought the dog and everyone kept stopping her and talking her ear off about him and she's too damn nice to just keep walking.

BigCity · Dec 31, 2017

I was there yesterday also. Which dog was yours?

I’m working the MSI booth with Michael Burke today. Come on by and say hey!

One booth had a large sign that said Maryland legal AR's. Was glad to see that. A bit of a reversal form years past.

Went today and was looking at ammo. Guy buying some Federal 5.56 told the sales guy he bought a new AR-15. Said his buddy gave him a bunch of ammo for it but it was .223 not 5.56 so he needed ammo. I thought the sales guy would correct him but instead he said, "Well, we have lots of 5.56 for sale."

Well that's pretty sh*tty of him :sad20:

He's been saying that for years. MD did try to outlaw them for the general public. I believe that are illegal to own by someone who generally matches the prohibited person criteria.

I got a backpack armor panel from a lady toward the front of the place. She made me read a form about MD. She said, MD, felons are the only ones banned from owning armor. Is that correct? She didn't seem like she was going to turn me away if I said anything but I had to give her my drivers license number in order to purchase. That made me uneasy but I'm in so many government databases I decided it wouldn't matter.

Felons are not allowed body armor in many places.

I'm 99% positive MD is one of them.

Actually I think the law may be federal

MilsurpDan · Dec 31, 2017

Just got back. Didn’t get much but I got what I wanted/needed. Bunch of Glock mags, ammo cans, and some 9mm bullets. The book seller has a 60% off sale since this is his last show and he’s retiring to Florida. Tons of bargains there to be had if you’re looking for something. I bought 2 outstanding Webley books and one about German Ersatz bayonets for only $138.

Dang. Just left, was looking for MSI booth but missed it. Where are you?

Jim12 · Dec 31, 2017

One table near back of main hall has a bin of 30rd Gen2 Window Pmags for $10.99. Non-window for about a buck less.

As you enter through the main doors, we are on the far left wall of the main hall.
