    Considering that they have these every month what is the actual attendance by vendors and gun owners?

    You can find an answer to that question in almost every thread in this section of the forum.

    How many vendors, how many attendees, was it worth going, etc.

    this one claims 1300 tables do what you will with that info, attendees is enough to keep them hosting the events.
    I honestly think they are saying there’s room for 1300 tables, don’t think I’ve ever been to any show with 1300 tables utilized, also consider 1 vendor could utilize 5-6 tables.

    i didn't count tables, but at the last show, there wasn't a whole lot of unused room, both the main room and the attached side room were full o' tables. granted some had fudge, jerky, old war movies and the like but i'd say there was a lot of guns, ammo and related stuff there. other than 1k of spp and srp, didn't see anything else that was that great of a bargain to shell out money.

    BIL and I will be heading to this Friday or Saturday. Hoping to see by some good ammo deals. Passed on a couple of good deals at the show a few months ago. Not repeating that mistake a second time.

    what did you see last time that was a really good deal? we saw 9 & 223 that was in the ballpark of online stuff but nothing to salivate over. not sure if you merrylanders can have ammo shipped or not so that would make the gun shows a better choice.

    Ammo can be shipped to MD. I seem to recall some 9 for a few cents/PR under what I was seeing online at the time. This was the early October show.

    I scooped plenty of 45 and 223 for a good price during the summer show.

    S&B 45acp for $25 a box
    Igman 223 for $80/200 rounds

    Though there were people there charging a lot for ammo imo

    Last show in November had high prices in some dealers. C&J ammo has been very steady and has tad ames like Federal. Even his defense ammo in 50 round boxes was reasonable.

    Quick question, with the Maryland rule requiring FFL to transfer long guns, how do I sell a rifle at this show? I have a Colt AR I want to sell.

    Note that Virginia law requires 2 forms of ID if you're not a VA resident and are looking to buy a long gun at the show.

    Firearms purchase requirements here.

    should be able to transfer it thru Medusa, up above. or actually, if to a VA resident i think any ffl at the show could do it for you.
