Chantilly next weekend ...

[cdpuser]

Question for the experienced pickers out there ...

What are the chances, if I go to the show in Chantilly on Feb 8-9, that I will walk out with a case or two of small pistol primers ?

Never been to a gun show so I dont know what to expect.

Since its 'out-of-state' ... what if I was looking for an unregulated rifle? Is that a cash-BGcheck-and-go situation or do I need to chum a local FFL?

Do they typically have cases of ammo for sale?

How have the larger shows since Oct been stocked for ammo, reloading supplies, mags?

Thanks for the experience out there ... us newbs appreciate it ...

Depends how much you want to pay

Get there early to get in line

Unreg- Cash and Carry, just do a 4473 form/NICS call. Reg-must go to a Md FFL.
Do they typically have cases of ammo for sale?
Yes. Again, get there early and expect to pay a premium. There will be people buying by the handtruck load
How have the larger shows since Oct been stocked for ammo, reloading supplies, mags?
Again, it'll be there, but prices will be marked up

I think I covered everything. Anything AR/AK/or Glock will be pricy. Should be deals to be had on C&R stuff though.

I'd go on Friday afternoon if you have that as an option. It will be a worse madhouse than the last couple shows...

Good advice, -Z28-. I've been halfway tempted to go to Chantilly myself, even though it'll be a madhouse. I heard that at the last one, prices were actually down on some of the stuff I buy, and I'm always on the lookout for old Smiths, and some Mini-14 mags, for that matter. Guess I'll take my handtruck with me if I'm going.

I dont think it will be nearly as bad as last time. Everything is calming down, the high priced AR's are no longer selling locally.

3pm i think..

op. as far as primer.. only 2 or 3 sells primers... but doubt you can buy a case..

last time i went this past dec... they were limiting on purchase (tnt that is).. 1k per customer.. of different size.

If you renew your NRA membership for $25 or $30 at the NRA tables on either side of the main entrance you can get in for free, get a free NRA hat, and bypass the lines which will be very long. If you need something that will likely sell out fast, go there on Friday.

if I'm just looking for Mak ammo and possibly a good deal on an HD shotgun, is it worth going to the show? I'm going out to Charlottesville President's day weekend so is it worth it just to visit a VA gun shop that weekend or should I force the trip to the Gun Show? Online purchases are not an option where I live.

Hmm... My NRA expired at the end of December. Maybe this is the time and place for renewal!

I'm going to to look around and pickup some 7.62x39 if it's not outrageously priced.

 

[TBAGRR]

I may go to try and unload a few new Blue pmags I have been sitting on for a year! what time did people go on sat to the last show down there? I imagine ill need to get there around 7:30ish

Dulles Expo has always been a madhouse. I cant imagine what it would be like now.

 

[afree1]

I doubt there will be too many hot deals to be had. But it's always fun to hunt for them anyway.

[doofoo]

Out of curiosity, how much are you selling them for?
