Maryland Arms Collector’s Show: Timonium, March 16th-17th, 2024

[MilsurpDan]

The Maryland Arms Collector’s Baltimore “Antique” Arms show is back again. For those that have never attended before, the show is usually massive and size is comparable to one of the Nation’s shows in Dulles.

It’s at the State Fairgrounds in Timonium in the Cow Palace.

March 16th and 17th, 2024.

Admission is $15 Saturday and $10 Sunday according to the website. If you’re a member of MACA, you get in for free and before the show opens to the public.

Tickets are now able to be purchased before the show through eventbrite.

Baltimore Antique Arms Show

Get ready for the ultimate antique arms extravaganza at the Baltimore Antique Arms Show, where history comes alive with a bang!

www.eventbrite.com

The show states “Antique” but most Curio and Relic long guns are welcome. The show is just not geared towards “modern” firearms like AR’s and AK’s.

No Post-1898 Handguns are allowed in the show unless they are part of a display table. That rule is slated to change for the 2025 show however.

If you’re interested in joining MACA, let me know.

This is the one gun show in the region that I consider a "must make". Precisely because it's not the usual AR/AK/1911/Glock/jerky fest that every other gun show it. This one draws attendees from outside the United States - I've run into Canadians and Brits at it. Bring money. Bring lots of money.

I am saving my Shekels... barring a major catastrophe, I'll be there with a Serpha in tow.

Will be there as a sherpa this time

I've had this show circled on the calendar since they announced the date. Had such a great time last year.

I'm actually in town this year and will be going

 

[Melnic]

I'm in. Now I need to grow some funds for it.

If you bring Rhodesia Not Found you going to get stopped every ten feet by someone either asking what it is, or offering you a Remington Model 11 price

Love this show! Can’t wait. Looking for a least one mil-surp if not 3. Had great luck last year.

Will be looking for SMLE and maybe some others. The enfield has been on my list for a long time. Hoping I can find a good example for a fair price. Always love the Japanese guns as well.

Good. I like a reprieve from all the AR, AK, Glock, etc. overload as much as anyone, but there is no reason for this show to exclude WW1 vintage 1911s, first gen SAAs, etc. either.

 

[Bertfish]

Being told post WW2 long guns aren't allowed. I'm not seeing that written anywhere. Can someone confirm?

I know about the handgun rules

 

[Fushigi Ojisan]

With the definition of C&R now being 1973 (and Q1 1974) it would be a shame to lose all those Midcentury. 22s

I think my source is wrong

I'm thinking you are right

Somewhere there was something about post WW2 long guns, I think it asks what percentage when you fill out the application for a table.
There is plenty of post WW2 long guns. The application asks what you are going to have and what percentage of your table will be what. I fill out my table application honestly and I have mostly post WW2. They do ask that you have quality items and they have the right to refuse you a table.
The main hard and fast rule is no post 1898 handguns.
I don't think I've ever seen any AR's, not one.
They used to check Colt SAA serial numbers for post 1898. Somewhere in a previous post I read that there's going to be some changes for the better next year.
