if i would have known the government was going to give me this week off I would have gotten a couple of tables there. Always a good show

It's a very big show. It should be packed with vendors and items. Not as much C&R as i'd hoped, but it was during the panic when I last went. It's a bit of a hike to get there, but if you're already in the area, definitely go! Similar in size and quality to the Chantilly show. I think it's a bit bigger actually.

In line
Wearing a Bert's Surf shop tshirt in lt blue

Bigger than Chantilly I thought.
I picked up primers, powder and bullets.
Also some mags.
Had a shopping list for friends and fulfilled the list.

Ammo prices ok? (7.62x39 esp).

 

[Melnic]

I did not recall anything being out of line compared to online prices. Lots of everything but don't recall 762 prices
But not out of stock walmart prices
22lr CCI SV bricks of 500 for $50

Picked up some M1A mags and my uncle ordered a .243 upper from Precision Firearms. Ammo prices weren't bad. 223 PMC was anywhere from 355-380 per 1k. Saw a former co-worker who now owns his own company, Law Tactical. They make a folding stock for AR15's. Neat little product.

My friend picked up a bunch of 7.62x39 Wolf for $6/box.

Here's a tip we've been doing for a long time when going to any gun show, plan a good few hours, know what you want to buy and walk to every single table looking for what you want. When you see it at one table, you will sure find another table that has it cheaper, hence the Wolf ammo for $6 a box, and plenty of it. The way we walked it, he would have paid over $7/box for the same ammo, on the other end of the show if he bought it when he saw it first.

The only thing wrong with that is sometimes you go back and the item is sold.

 

[Neot]

My tip would be to go Sunday afternoons. A lot of dealers don't want to hump the stuff back to the car so they are more willing to make a deal.

 

[PapiBarcelona]

I haven't seen anyone buy an item I was looking for after I scouted the entire show first just yet.

I also have not been to a Maryland show in a long time but the PA shows are great to go to.

It's funny, we go to gun shows but almost never look at the firearms themselves unless it's just to literally see something new.
