Nations Gun Show (Chantilly, VA); Nov 17, 18, & 19, 2023

[Ammo Jon]

Everything was overpriced except some pmags. Cheapest ammo I found was 5.56, 1000rnds/$550 probably need to add tax too. Guns were overpriced and not so much surplus items for sale. I was looking for MREs and Jerry cans plus some more and found none. The last time I attended that show was years ago and I understand prices have gone up, but the variety of stuff for sale decreased. My friend who was there for the first time just said there was lots and lots of the same stuff all over. I’ll probably stop going.
And forgot to mention the entrance fee was $19!!!!!!!!!

What were pmags going for?

Saw a nice little .22 pump that needs some TLC, which it will get

Gen 3, brown with window were $15. The rest were a little less. 308 pmags weee about $20 to $25
So now that I think about it, not much of a deal on those either

Was there any beef jerky, fudge or roasted nuts???

Dark Run Jerky is usually there - I didn’t go this past weekend, but they are a regular attendee.

Not the reason I go, but a nice bonus

Your friend is not wrong.

Every time I go, place just gets smaller.

Still don't know what the allure is to eat crappy snacks in a place full of lead etc. Touch things that hundreds of other people touched before you and then pop some diabetic-spiked nuts.

Good thing Jerky and Pickles are healthy foods then .

Walter's Gun Shop and PC Equestrian Center. You are reaching way back for those days. Time has caused me to forget the name of the Owner of Walter's. I remember he was a teacher. My wife bought her first S&W 686 there.

Owner's name was Dan Fitzel.
