As long as it's a reasoned, factual assessment, where's the issue?

It's the "all MD shows suck" and "socks and jerky" comments that send it sideways.

Honestly, I'm as big a defender as you'll find of the need for more and better shows in MD, but there's no escaping the reality... it's getting worse.

They were good-looking rifles, and Mopar was working a MDSer hard to buy one.

I've purchased an LE trade 6721 from Lou as well as a new one. I'm going to make one from this batch my third. I love the restricted roll mark on the LE ones. Can't have too many of these rifles!

If you're older than 40, you'd know how much of a difference these shows are today compared to shows a few moons ago. I'm not bashing, I'm stating facts. These Timonium shows would bring people from Virginia, New Jersey, PA and even a few folks from WV. Now, they are but a shadow of what they once were. If you want to call my observations criticism, then so be it, but I can tell by your comments, that you don't know what this show once was. Because if you did, you would know the difference.

I'm 42 to be exact,I've made the hour and half drive to this show many times,I know how it once was,I've been criticized in the past for saying how md shows in particular this one have gone down hill,I agree with you,I was just saying how others have said we need to support these shows and or prices,I don't want to see anyone go out of business either but I do believe ans understand free market,supply/demand,unfortunately this state government has caused a lot of the problem and being nice,courteous,dressing up for Annapolis has not helped,they could care less.

Interesting day.. There was a guy asking questions about air guns and wanting to know if it could kill people and good for defense. He was a first time buyer. The sales guy kept telling him the guns he sold were for fun and entertainment. I didn't want to interrupt but I hope he found the right people.

I did see one stand selling 80% lowers for $48.

I did pick up some clips, gas tube, cleaning kit and FSB. No deals but I did use the Military ID to get something off. Trip was not wasted and got some food at the festival. I was looking for some chicken adobe. I love that stuff. I didn't find any maybe next time.

I'd like to see some pictures too! I've been going back and forth with doing an SBR/HBAR complete FDE build with one of these.

 

[Alphabrew]

I'd have jumped on an 80% AR lower for $48, just to have one in my collection even though it's just a paper weight in Maryland. I've been thinking about getting a 10/22 80% lower and building that as a fun project.

Amazed at what I saw. Or what I didn't see. Apparently Mosin Nagant 9130 s have all of a sudden. Become scarce. I went with a friend to pick him a winner and we only saw two for 190. I never thought I'd see the day. There were a bunch of 44 s and 38 s but out of my price range for them.

Ammo seemed to be cheaper than normal.

Still nice to visit but nothing that knocked my socks off.

I swung through the show since the cool morning called for a bike ride on the NCR trail. Good to see mopar and lou45 with some nice rifles on display. I got parts, stripper clips etc... from various vendors at okay prices. No smoking deals that I could find. The abundance was a little disappointing overall but worth a couple hours.

Looks like you gotta' high cap Mag-Paw with the AR6721.

I'm surprised nobody posted this earlier; this tough crowd is slippin' today.
