I ususally go to Chantilly wont be this time. Come back with something nice most of the time.

Make sure you stop by Battle Bargains, I am not barking for them but a lot of people walk away from their sticker prices on guns that they will deal significantly on if you wave the cash. I have never had them not knock at least $75 to $150 off something and have always walked away feeling more than fair.

Only reason I mentioned this is I have seen two posts from people who looked at their stuff, thought it was a little pricey and walked on.

BB is MD so they obviously sell to MD. Those guys have been really good to me over the years

 

[Slimjim]

It is. Don't understood why - perhaps because they can? Along with the potentially horrible drive, I always have to think thrice about going
(still went 2x last year).

Because its not in a tiny building like most MD gunshows.

Anyone near Middle River looking for a hitchiker?

 

[stu929]

I'm probably heading to shit show as well!

Need to start looking for reloading gear and garand stuff!

I haven't been there for a while, but I might go this time. My girlfriend keeps asking what I want for my birthday which is coming up this month. I my just take her there to find things I might want.

 

[ProShooter]

12 bucks is a little steep.

How's $11 ??

 

[HardHatMan]

I probably won't make it this month. I'm gonna save up some more money and go to the April show and clean up on 30 round AR and AK mags and a ton of ammo.

Maybe for long guns too, from what some others have been saying about MD purchases there.

And I saw this on another thread
"A couple of thoughts based on my experience:
1.) There are usually a few dealers at the Chantilly Gun Show who can "facilitate" Maryland transfers. Typically several of the dealers there will have agreements with the MD dealers that allow you buy from one dealer and have the transfer handled by the MD dealer. You still have to wait the required 7 days before you can pick the handgun up. I haven't gone thru this process myself but assume that you pick the gun up from the MD dealer handling the transfer."

From the National Gun Show website:
"NON-VA Residents: Must be of legal age to purchase a firearm. Can only purchase long guns (rifles and shotguns) and must have the same forms of ID as VA residents. Driver's License from your State of residence and another ID that proves you live in that State. ALL LAWS OF BOTH STATES MUST BE COMPLIED WITH. You must fill out the paperwork and pass the background check, you can then take your firearm with you. "


This is my first time going to the Chantilly show, looking at handguns and rifles. I understand the pistol rules and transfers. Ok.

But how is it at the Chantilly show for buying rifles. Any issues? Which dealer to stay away from etc... I'm looking at bolt action and possible semi-auto but NOT an AR-style rifle.

 

[CharlieFoxtrot]

I'll be there when the doors open on Friday. Got a list.

 

[Polecat]

Haven't decided on Sat or Sun. Either day I will go early and leave around noon before it gets too crowded.

It depends, varies dealer to dealer. Dark Sun is the one that is a definite "no", several post here in the past on him. Safest bet is to obviously ask before you get too deep into the deal.

Most that say no are pretty sorry about, but with the MD laws being so confusing, they don't want to take any chances.

Don't forget your second ID, utility bill works fine.

Good luck, maybe I'll see you there.

Looks interesting. May try to fit this one in.

 

[FlatTopFoley]

I'll be there with a group of friends/fellow shooters on Saturday. If you see a big guy with a desert tan bag on with a MDS patch on, don't hesitate to say hi

 

[Oldcarjunkie]

I've never had an issue with buying there, (except for Dark Sun), but then again, I haven't bought a lot there either.

Gus from Accurate PawnAnd Tackle, one of our IPs, is usually there and will handle transfers on the spot.

Thanks, ill keep that in mind next time i go there. I might make it there this weekend, but not sure

 

[Chris L]

My father-in-law and I will be there Saturday morning.

 

[Slimjim]
