    Parking is a cluster....and I may start buying every 870 I see,beat the hell out of it and then sell it for more than retail.


    Yeah, a lot of beaters at the show. A lot of refurbed 91/30s and M44. One 91/30 with a hex receiver and a laminated stock, but everything else was your typical Mosin. I saw a pretty decent Swedish Mauser model 1896 for $800! there was a pretty nice Swiss K 31 in a walnut stock for $375. Lots of people walking out with modern bolt action rifles. Ammo was all over the board. Some people were selling spam cans of 54R for $120, and others selling it for $170. It wasn't a total waste of time, as I found some rifle powder and primers for good prices. Still no luck on getting any Unique.

    Any decent prices on the M44s? Still don't have one of those...

    There's a husband/wife selling everything Magpul for decent prices and easy to deal with.I saw some hi- point carbines for decent prices and some KSGs as well. I just want a cheap 870 but apparently retail is cheaper than used.

    One seller had a sign that read, prices are NOT negotiable. This is a gun show, not a flea market.

    There was one good deal that I saw. The guy in the front had an Argentine Mauser model 1909 that was all matching in about 60 to 70% condition for $425

    Wish I had gone to them first. Would have saved me a few bucks.

    On another note. I saw a few Garands but almost no Garand parts.

    That would make me keep moving. Isnt half the fun of a gunshow negotiating?

    Yeah,first thing I asked was group pricing on mags. I only bought mags because most gun prices were sky high on used and retail on new. I did see a Savage B mag 17 new for $275 which is cheaper than I've ever seen. No Mosins seemed like good gun show deals to me.

    I came back with a few items but didn't grab the full capacity CZ82 mag. This is second consecutive show that I've found one. Have 5 already, couldn't justify another but I know that's a decision I'll regret. ....

    Wasn't a bad show. I picked up a couple pounds of powder and a bunch of gen 2 windowed magpuls for $12 a piece. My wife got a Ruger 10/22 with the acu camo pattern stock first one I've ever seen in that pattern and she really liked it. She got several bx25 mags for it as well. 22lr ammo was plentiful but ran $45 for a brick of cci standard $50 brick of mini mag.

    Got there at 9:30 took 20 minutes to get through the door was back in my truck by 10:35. Just went for AR mags and a tactical case for it.Didn't see a case I liked but got 3 GI mags w/ magpul followers for $9 a piece Saw 3rd Gen Magpuls w/window for $13 a piece or 2/$25 (i don't like plastic mags) I think it was the husband wife team if they were in the second/third row back to the right. Saw lots of powder and Mosin's Saw 420rnds of .223 on strippers (Federal? maybe PMC) for $175 wasn't sure if that was a decent price or not

    Place was really busy cars were lined up almost to Bus. 15 as I headed out Didn't see the reloading guys from PA and VA Beach this time they were there last June when I went

    I got there about noonish. Was looking for a Star B. Didn't see one. One guy had a crate of Toks for $249 each, I believe. They looked to be in really super good shape. Didn't see any BX25's, but picked up some Gen 3 30's for $11.50 a pop with a little nego. It was packed when I got there, but really thinned out by 3. I thought the prices weren't all that great overall, but did see a few good deals on HBAR AR's though.

    He told me that they were new production M57s. They looked too good to be Yugos.

    You may need to review the handgun laws. Only long guns can be carried out of gun show that is out-of-state from the buyer. Handguns cannot, that is and has been federal law. If you are a Md. resident and buy a handgun in PA, it must be sent to a Md. dealer.

    So you are saying if I wanted to purchase an Ak47 while there as a MD resident I could cash and carry?
