Don't be me: there are two shows here today, the one with the line full of kids is some kind of dinosaur show.

Lmao. Yes, the dinosaur show is in the cow palace. You wouldnt be the first person to report to the wrong building.

Worth a trip from the Eastern Shore?

 

[Sundazes]

Ditto, we were just heading over????

Update- Just leaving now at 10:15am, there is a line and a steady stream of cars rolling in, the early bird gets the worm I reckon'. If you don't like crowds I'd try tomorrow morning :-)

Leaving now, not too bad a show, wasn't too upset about the eight dollars. I will say that it looks like a nightmare trying to get in, traffic is all backed up.

Gotta go in through the backside, timonium road entrance

Holy balls, this place is packed.

Lou is triple tasking, RD is fondling rifles, the popcorn is popping. Looks like a good day

Just found a parking space. Timonium Rd exit is backed up to 83. Padonia Rd was pretty clear coming in.

This was a great show. Lots of C&R and new stuff. Prices were more than fair especially from the IP's, namely Shooters Discount, Bluefins, Tyler, Firearms etc. Seemed like a lot of paperwork was being filled out. Hope you guys have big days!

Looking for BUIS for an AR and 9mm dies... is this worth the trip, or should I wait for HoCo Show (only 20 min from my house)...

Got there about 10am, left about 1pm. Good show. Meet a few MDS'ers. As stated lou did not have time to put his snuggies on. He was very busy, but we talked about the Sarah doll posted above.

A lot more gun vendors, I still didn't like the guy in the first row on the right side, with the sign that says he's selling his personal firearms, but there were commercial price tags on every one of them. He's been to the last couple Timonium shows and has had that sign up each time.

Some good prices, not great. I was a little disappointed in the selection of firearms. But that may just be me. Neil was the only one to have powder and it was a powder I didn't recognize. DO NOT go to the food court. $12 for a pulled pork sandwich and a coke, and the sandwich was worse than cafeteria food back in school.

A lot of bad information was being passed around. Some guy with a Batimore Police t-shirt was giving a hard time to one of the vendors saying that a rifle he was selling was on the list of banned firearms. He said because it had a threaded barrel (no flash suppressor or muzzle break on the rifle) and a folding stock, it was on the list. I let the man have his say and then the vendor and I talked and he just blew off the guy.

*****Then I was at a vendors' table and telling him I was looking at a stock he had and I wanted to measure it to see if it could be used to complete a SBR I'm building (after the paperwork comes back). He then told me that BATF told him that in order to measure the overall length, you had to collapse the butt stock and then measure the rifle. I assured him he had misunderstood, but he told me I was wrong. I then asked him how many SBRs he has sold in the last year and he said he doesn't sell them. So I asked him why would a BATF agent tell him something if he wasn't selling that specific item. He shut up and walked away.

I walked for as long as my knee would allow. After all of this walking, there wasn't anything that jumped out at me that said buy me.

However, I do believe another suppressor is in my future. Gotta make a call and see what we can do.


Good luck to the attendees, I hope you find what you're looking for.

Finished setting up this afternoon, and looks like a decent selection of vendors even saw one I've never seen at the shows before. Should be interesting. We have lots of inventory for the show including a whole buncha C&R guns!! Mosin's, Mauser's,Enfields,SKS's,K31's and 2 nice H&R Arms M1 Garands.

Good talking to you today.

 

[j_h_smith]

Will anyone have Dillon Xl650's for sale at the show?

None at the show.

 

[j_h_smith]

What do you think the price of lowers will be this weekend?

Regular prices, but I don't believe I saw any 80% lowers. Maybe I just missed them.

 

[BossmanPJ]

Good lord. That's a gun show price of I've ever seen one.

He wasn't the only one telling vendors about banned rifles on their tables

Oh, there were some out of this world prices on some firearms. C&R and modern prices were decent, but there were some who must have thought they had one of a kind firearms for sale.

I guess they figure they can always go down in price, but it's impossible to raise their prices once someone show interest.
