I got an email today but still wondering if it's worth it to go. I would like to get some 6.5 Creedmoor ammo since I bought a new rifle, but don't have time or a place to shoot it before I leave for the middle east again next month.

Boss94 · Sep 28, 2021

I found me a beautiful Marlin 39 golden made in 67 last show. im hoping I can find another something interesting to bring home again.

StanleyJobson · Sep 28, 2021

I plan on going Sunday. Looking to score some mags.
I'm hoping there won't be long lines.

Medusa Joe · Sep 29, 2021

Medusa Munitions will be there for the first time with some reloading supplies (powder, bullets, #6 -#9 shot, brass, wads & hulls), ammo, accessories and a few used items. We can also assist in regulated handgun transfers for Marylanders if you find something at the show. Not positive where our 3 tables will be located, but we'll try to have a Maryland flag suspended on a pole.

Blaster229 · Sep 29, 2021

I'm going for the first time ever. Figure get early Friday and wait for doors to open.

If the Government is shut down I could go Friday

I thought the original hours were noon friday,, now 3:00?
I am sure traffic will be light headed west on 66 at 3:00pm friday?

Typ are all the vendors there Friday? or do some only setup Sat-Sun?
Looking for some elusive 70s-90s Ruger "walnut and steel" long guns.

Has anyone been on a Friday before? Just curious how long the line is at opening time on Friday. I'm working in Herndon that day, and wouldn't mind popping in before making the trek back to Baltimore, if the line isn't too bad. I've only ever been on Saturdays.

SavageShooter · Sep 30, 2021

I usually go on a friday. 30-45 minutes after opening the line is usually gone. That is how it was at the last show.

Ticket karma: i bought tickets for my buddy and I for the Friday show only (Oct 1). He has to bale on me, so one ticket is up for grabs. It's a digital ticket, so I'll send a screenshot to the first one to reply.

I could go tomorrow. How does the electronic ticket work? Do I have to have a fancy phone to show it to the guy at the door?

Wynter · Sep 30, 2021

Typically a smart phone to show the picture. I don't know if printing works. You can just ask right up, scan the electronic ticket barcode and walk right on in with the smartphone.

Wynter · Sep 30, 2021

The line is long, but short if you buy an electronic ticket ahead of time.

So, buy online and you don't wait inthe longer line?
Is there basically a clearly indicated shorter line for online ticket people?

Wynter · Sep 30, 2021

I've bought them online several times now. You pay a few bucks extra for a service charge. There is always someone that works there telling you that if you bought e tickets then you can deal right in. There is not a specific line but it works at both entrances.

So, you are SURE this is the way at Dulles or are you going by other places you've gone to?

I'm sure silverado or whatever company isn't as advanced as ticketmaster. I do know that ticket master event tickets have technology where screenshots cannot be scanned. They actually have a moving color wave going over the bar code.

Wynter · Sep 30, 2021

There are no moving pictures on the e ticket. I've used them at dulles expo center for the gun show. I don't know how much more clearly i can state that.

I usually go Fridays. Missing this one, but will be going to the November show. We get there by 1pm and hit Willards for lunch. Parking is easy at that point and line isn't long.

Mr.Culper · Sep 30, 2021

So, are ALL the vendors typically there on Friday?
or will there be vendors that only setup for Sat-Sun?
