Oaks Gun Show Extravaganza 2,000 Tables 3/28-3/30/2014

Thanks, any suggestions as to where else one can park?

I'm honestly not sure. The Expo Center has a lot of parking lots but these shows just draw too large of a crowd. I saw a lot of people last time doing the "stalk and steal" waiting for people to leave their parking spots. That's the only way I managed to get one.

On a scale from 0-10 what chance do I have of buying an AR as a MD resident at this show ?

Two MD guys in my group picked up Smith and Wesson M&P Sport rifles at the last show for $650 OTD. I think your chances are pretty good.

You haven't been keeping up with the new laws apparently.

 

[MDshooters]

As long as they are the HBAR S&W M&P15, then they are good. The sport version would not have been "out the door" for a MD resident.

Apparently you didn't keep up with the old laws. HBARs are long guns and thus exempt

Idk how they roll in PA, but there are MD dealers selling the m&p sports. Some IPs as well.

The "sport" version doesn't have a heavy barrel?

The "sport" version doesn't have a heavy barrel?

It is a highly subjective matter. Apparently the barrel is thinner under the handguard BEHIND the gas block. But Im pretty sure fsa13 clearly states that the barrel must be uniform from the gas block to the muzzle, therefore it IS a heavy barrel. Everyone does not agree.

Professor Horseyhead says he'll be there Saturday.

We never had much of a problem with Oaks, even parking 1/2 mile away.

Unless you have a disability, or plan on buying and humping out heavy stuff involving multiple trips to the car and back, I don't see why a small walk will hurt.

I've been to shows where foamers literally rush into the doors upon opening and proceed to basically buy a tables entire supply of ammo cans. Carrying out as many as they can stack with two arms at a time.

Wear the horse head, I'll come find you

I know what he looks like without the horsehead, so I'll be able to spot 'im either way.

Of course, it ain't like I'm all that hard to spot either.

 

[armed ferret]

sketchy as you look, i'd be surprised if they even let you in.

 

[Paperpounder]

Picked up a GII SASS so I'll be looking for

-Mags
-7.62x51 ammo
-Atlas Bipod
-Misc black gun items

I have no idea why. They are not HBARS lol.

Unless I am wrong of something... I am mortal during the day and may in fact be wrong.

 

[MDshooters]

Oh, and I know the Maryland shows generally suck, but what does 500 rounds of Wolf 5.56 run in PA gun shows these days??

My bad my bad.

(You caught me in my mortal form.) I feel so silly. LOL I though the sport version came out and _then_ the HBAR (with no Sport title) but I guess the HBAR version is part of the sport line. Very nice.
