[Medusa Joe]

Medusa Munitions will be there this weekend with reloading supplies (powder, primers, bullets, brass, shot, wads & hulls), Dillon reloading machines & accessories/parts and to assist with handgun transfers for Maryland residents.

If you need something from us, IM or text us and we can bring it & set it aside for pick up at the show.

Last time I was there was this show last year. I'm going Friday with my nephew for the fun of it.

 

[Grampa G]

I'll be looking for .22 Winchester Auto and 22 Savage high power

 

[Baldheaded]

I was planning on going until I saw the weekend entry cost. $19 just to get in... are they crazy! Plus the time and gas to get there. It just doesn't seem worth it.

Yeah, the entry fee has gotten ridiculous.

It sucks they don't allow you to join/donate to SAF/FPC/NSSF/anything not WLP as an alternative.

Does anyone who frequent this show know if there are MD FFLs in attendance? Just in case I stumble into a find I may want transferred. Will be there Saturday. It’s been over 10 years since I last went. I normally just do PA Gun Shows now ‘cause it’s closer to me.

The last time I went, I saw Medusa Munitions (@Medusa Joe ), BMore Tactical, and two others I can't recall.

 

[Ammo Jon]

Can anyone report on price of Gen2 pmags. Cheapest online is $8.25 shipped

 

[Mike OTDP]

There’s a dealer across from the MSI table offering 10 for $90.

Went today after I picked the kid up from school. Got there around 4:30? Man, the parking lot was PACKED.
Snagged the only box of LRPs I found for a friend ($85). Nothing jumped out at me to buy. I did pickup something I bought pre-show from a vendor and had a good conversation w/ him.
I was surprised how many HK pistols were on tables. Like, they were EVERYWHERE. I don't recall that before. There were also almost zero Keltecs (except a couple sub2000s.) Was hoping to get the kiddo to hold a CP33 to see if he could wrap his little hands around it. Don't recall seeing even a single P50 either just to show him. Crap loads of 12ga AR-esque shotguns too in all sorts of colors everywhere.
Its sort of like gun dealers are run by the media w/ their 'talking points'. Everyone was told to bring the same stuff (I get it, small dealers buy and bring whatever they are able to get from their suppliers and they all use the same suppliers.)
A couple of cool/rare old semi-autos but were a bit overpriced IMO. SVT40, FN49, etc.
