York, PA; March 5-6, 2022

My first PA show was a success. Got my 30+ round mags I was looking for. Ton of vendors to check out, no C&R caught my eye as a must have. I was able to pick up a Russian Bakelite mag which was my #1 want, and I was worried there would be 0 at the show, and a korean fakelite mag for the AK. Only regret was I didn’t buy a 2nd Bakelite as I’m guessing prices are gonna increase more with russia/Ukraine conflict. Picked up some mags from SCSG. All in all I was happy to be there Sunday morning.

I told one of them, "I don't shake hands with politicians" and kept on a truckin'.

I try to be polite, I really do, and most were OK with "no thanks" after bum rushing us. That is except for one in the main hall near the far end of Dennis Todd's table. Told him no thanks, he kept talking and started following me, "this is part of your duty as a citizen", told him I do my research, "he kept at it, people were watching, "but this is research, don't you want to show your kids how the process works"(was there with my family). Told him "OK research complete, you are a dick, nobody should vote for you, now back off". About a dozen people were laughing at the guy, of course was so POed, didn't remember the name.

LOL, that's epic! I generally try to be polite too but sometimes my smart ass side comes out of nowhere. I wish I had been there to hear you say that! The guy I spoke to was just inside the right side hall. I mean I had been there all of ten seconds. I would have just ignored him had he not stuck his hand out.

You got your "Standard capacity mags"!

First time going to York Gun Show! First time really going to a Gun Show out of state! I was seriously impressed. Sadly York was 1000 tables better than MD Gun Shows by same vendor - probably not vendor fault, just state of Gun Shows in the Great State of Maryland. I will still support Maryland shows as well. I bought quite a bit at York Show - found dealers, attendees and politicians quite pleasant! Had a really good time during 4 hours at the York Show.

I am a Maryland Resident, but had great conversations with actual PA Political Republican Candidates - quite refreshing number attended the Gun Show and they were very respectful. In my close to 40 years attending MARYLAND Gun Shows I do not EVER remember seeing a Political Candidate at a MD Gun show EVER. We need candidates to support 2nd Amendment and certainly Rebubs were in force at the York Show.

The variety of firearms, parts, supplies, ammo and military collectors was really nice for a 40 min drive. Thought prices were all over the place - BUT I certainly compared prices and got some great deals bargaining. I will go back to York and other PA shows again. Interesting all of the dealers were just so friendly except for sadly a couple dealers I know from MD & VA not so much, typical grumps or on cellphone really could not be bothered. Just a fantastic experience and wish we could some way get 1/4 or 1/2 of dealers in York to come to MD shows.

May or may not have picked up a drum for the AK as well. Figured I would just stash that away in the back of my safe for the time being.

What was a G17 complete slide going for at the show?

Had a good day at the show today. Arrived around 09:15 and the line was 200 people deep. Decided to go get some coffee and came back and hour later with no line.
Picked up a glock 17 style upper for a polymar80 build. Found a what appears to be an unfired Kimper Goverment 82 complete with the required box cutter scar. I also picked up a new in the box Colt AR6721 AR15-A3.

Went there with father in law because there was no way he would of found direction to York for Westminster, drive was insanely complicated. Went home with a Ruger 10/22 for 3 Bennies. Was better than most shows I've been to in Maryland except for the one hosted by the Legions. In my moment of weakness I did give the pretty brunette asking for signatures a few sentences instead of the single 'Maryland' to the other workers. But figured explaining to the wife that I came home with another rifle was easier than coming home with the brunette.
