Precision Firearms there?

Yep. Usual setup.

SavageShooter · Jan 3, 2015

I went Friday from 1:30-5:30. Good show as usual. No show in MD could ever match it.

I was there all AM. Some nice guns but nothing I would call a tremendous deal. There was a sweet Ross MK III but it was $1250, a couple G43, and a Greek FN mauser caught my eye. I carried a few guns I wanted to sell to fund a project (or buy above stated arms) but only got one good offer and the Ross was being purchased by that time so I left with 8mm ammo and my own guns. Not a total loss.

Got there about 9:30 this morning and walked right in, no line. It started to get crowded after noon. I picked up a Winchester M1917 and a Krag rifle....not give away prices but I am happy as they fill holes in the collection. I didn't see one complete AR15 A2 upper in the whole place....I guess everyone wants the M4 or custom now.

Just got back, a nice wet ride home :sad20:

But, did find some pistol powder

Lots of CFE-pistol around, I got a few lbs of that. Found ONE lb of Bullseye!
T and T said he had a case or two of it, sold out Friday nite.
Guy in the back had a 16 lb keg of Bullseye, wanted $250 for it, didn't need quite that much. Lots of Red Dot around.
Picked up some more primers and had to visit the sticker guy.
Fair amount of 22 lr around, more than you usually see but still expensive.

Not a bad day overall

For modern guns, that wouldn't take much.

Was there anyone there with a vice assembling AR uppers?

I saw a booth somewhere near the middle of the floor with a guy working on an upper in a vice.

good show

good ammo selection this time

WeaponsCollector · Jan 3, 2015

Saw lots of exploding targets this time, not that I would ever consider getting any since it's too scary for Maryland. :innocent0

Thanks Gabe for the mag.. nice to meet you.

JamesH · Jan 3, 2015

Best price I saw on a 1400 round Bucket o' Bullets (.22LR) was $120. Got one before Xmas at Dick's in SS for $70. :sad20:

Did manage to get a fair bit of 7.62x38R for my yet-to-ship from AIM Nagant for a good price, both new PPU and old Russkiy stuff.

snakep · Jan 3, 2015

Good show today...got there around 1300...crappy weather but very crowded...was on a mission to find Glock mags at a reasonable price...took some prospecting but found what I was looking for ....saw one Marylander looking to make a firearm purchase but the dealer said he could not sell to those who live in the Maryland Democratic Republic....not sure what type of firearm it was...still, it made be feel like a 2nd class citizen, what with all those AK's those Virginians have access to...F-ing MD.

Thanks for stopping buy,as a seller this weekend has been one of tbe slowest,this area has really gotten saturated with gun shows lately,alot of people looking, few buying, thanks again for coming out!

Got the Kydex holster made. Bought some ammo at Georgia Arms. Compared Ruger 10/22s to CZ 512. Definitely thinking 512 in the future.

After months of reading the posts about the Nation's Gun Show, I have yet to find a compelling reason to drive the 180 mile round trip with 3 hours travel time (or more with the rain) to get a look. By the time I pay for the gas, wear and tear, and admission, I'm just not convinced there is any return on investment. What am I missing?

You are a "glass half empty" kinda guy, eh? Lighten up!

Even as a VA resident I don't go to Chantilly
