Oh Yeah! Plenty of affordable stuff, regular guns and deals. I've never seen any black guns though. This is where collecting gets inspiration and gets started. The downer on this stuff is the old timers bought or got this stuff for nothing, found it, inherited it or robbed a widow. Keep that in mind when negotiating.

"regular guns"? Not sure what that is. To some that would be a modern firearm (non C&R)

There are restrictions on what can be sold. No post 1898 handguns and I have rarely seen anything that was not C&R.

Lots of historical collectables so if you want civil war, Great War, WWII "stuff" you will see plenty here.

I have 2 field glasses I got at previous shows.

I have heard this show described in the past as a "museum where you can buy stuff"

My quote has always been "its like a world-class arms museum threw up"

Spot on. If you have the coin there are always some very cool and unique pieces there.

Chances of finding a sub $1000 m1 Garand? Lol. I should’ve gotten my C&R 10 years before I did and I should’ve purchased more than 1 Garand when I bought one several years ago. Still holding out hope we get more back from overseas and prices from CMP stay close to what they are today.

Always had decent luck with vintage .22s at this show.

Also, the Swiss vendors are amazing.

MDS meetup? I’ve never been. My oldest guns are from the 1980s

$1,000 Garand? Doubtful unless somebody is really trying to offload something.

Glocks don't count

Made it to the '19 Show. Absolutely amazing stuff that you'll only see elsewhere in museums. Medieval armor, yep. Samurai stuff, yep. Picked up some repop BP pistola's for less than retail. Looking for an 1862 Springfield real or repop this time around.

Make a BIG hole in your schedule and wear a comfortable pair of walking shoes 'cause you're gonna need 'em. Takes me 2 hours just to do one pass of the two halls.

Doctor_M · Jan 7, 2022

If folks wear their badges or MDS gear, we might have some good meetings of opportunity! "John has a long moustache"... and so does Dr. M.

I need a reasonable facsimile of a krag carbine stock and handguard. This is the year I'lll find one! (fingers crossed)

In Catonsville right outside of Ellicott City at one of the Knights of Columbus halls. If you are interested, PM me and I’ll give you more info.

Do the meetings take place on weekends or weekdays? Weekdays will be tough for me since I work until 7:00 PM.

Thanks.

Wasn't sure what MACA stood for so I did a Google search for it... boy oh boy, what a surprise!!! I eventually found what I believe is the correct information

MilsurpDan · Jan 8, 2022

An MDS meet up should be doable. The building is big enough, and there is several places nearby to eat like High Tops.

If anyone is interested in getting a table, let me know. They are short several tables this year, and are looking to fill them. I believe they can be either “historical” display items to show off, or sale items. Sale items must be related to the show. IE, no “modern” stuff or junk.

I'm getting antsy.... saving all my play money... I anticipate leaving with a heavy sack and a very light wallet. Every time I see something cool on Gunbroker I stop myself so I can keep my cash for this show.

After 2 shows (2020, 2021) being cancelled, I will be curious how the prices will be on some items. I had noticed civil war rifles climb in 2018 and 2019.
Hopefully, they come looking to price to move items.
