Set up was today, show is mainly dealers rather than non-gun vendors. About 200 tables, wide aisles, lots of ammo available. I expect in the future to see 250-300 tables at this show, the space is definitely available.

Look for Mr. Heller back by the Ma Deuce.

just came back, prices for mags are crazy, pmags $39.99-50 and there was not a lot of them, did see a case of 1000rd wolf .223 ammo for $500, was not a real big show but it got me out of the house...

Got to meet Dick Heller at the show,pictures with him and the actual pistol that started Heller vs.u.s.nice guy,show was typical high prices and probally even higher prices than AWB 94 same attitudes too,take it or leave it pricing and very little moving other than jerky and jewelry.,nice to have something close to home but at these prices no one is buying.

It's a small show, maybe about 1/3 size of Timonium. There was a guy selling a handful of Charles Daly 30 rd 5.56 mag's for $25. He had other mags as well.

DPMS AR rifle (20") was selling for $2595. Folks were walking around with their homemade AR's for sale asking $2100 ish.

Not much in the way of ammo. Best price was one guy selling a case (1000) wolf .223 for $500. Most others were $1/rd for 5.56 and .223. 9mm was almost non-existent.

One guy had some reloading supplies. Didn't look too close, but saw bullets and powder, saw some stuff marked CCI too, not sure if they were primers.

Bunch of homemade jerky. Picked up a couple peperoni sticks.

Best price I saw was a Win Model 94 for $350. Most rifles and shotguns seemed priced a tad high.

Nice show, the dealers that were set up were nicer than I am used to,
They have a good start for the first show here, glad I went here instead of G-burg

I thought the gun show was a waste. Everything seemed to be high, of course the AR's were high but even the rifles and shotguns were high. I saw a guy selling 22LR 25 round mags for 55 bucks and used beat up ones for $35. I also overheard a guy with about 3 AR's on his table say " I haven't sold a single gun, If this were a MD show, I would have sold them all." I would say the parkville show was better than this one and everyone said that one was a waste. Luckily I planned the casino trip with this because I would have been mad if I went all the way down there for just that.
