Timonium Fairgrounds Jan 10,11 & 12

+1

I read about that and was like

Pretty sure the flare guy is there - in the door and to the left at the beginning of the row. Not my thing - but I saw 37 mm stuff (and other stuff) on the table as I cruised by last night.

 

[Gryphon]

If anyone goes today can you let me know if Capt. Harry is there selling decoys.

Did not see any decoys, but I was in and out by 5:00 on Friday and there were till some table/vendors not set up yet.

Update: Sweet! Organizing the gun safe this morning and two very dear friends of mine showed up with a gift - an antique "James Holly" Drake Red Head decoy! I am not a collector, but this is extra special to me because it came from their family's personal collection.

 

[Gryphon]

What do you think my chances of finding black powder there?

Wasn't looking for any myself, but I overhead the one vendor that had the most reloading supplies say he wasn't licensed to sell powder in Maryland?

 

[Gryphon]

There is no disputing that the Timonium Show isn't what it used to be, but for less than $10, and being so close, I still go to be supportive, to browse, to pick up some decently priced ammo and accessories, and to buy an over priced hot dog. Every once in a while I will surprise myself and make a larger purchase - like yesterday!

 

[El_flasko]

Can someone who is there today report back so I can hear how it was after all vendors are set up? Thinking of stopping by there tomorrow morning to be supportive but may go shooting instead.

Thanks!

 

[Mr H]

I'll probably be up there about 3 or so... Not really looking for anything, but ya never know

At the show. Its...OK. nothing too exciting. But is close enough to get you out of the house on a rainy day.

Anyone go to the Gettysburg show? Considering making my way out there.

Any ammo deals by chance? Thanks for the info!!

 

[TonyB.]

How about C&R stuff? Anything different than what was at Frederick?

 

[CarlosM]

Traffic around the fairgrounds is horrible right now.

 

[bbrown]

Picked up a numbers-matching bayonet for the German K98k, and an original M1 Carbine oiler.

Just a heads up to anyone coming down 83. If you intend to get off at Timonium Rd and take a left towards York Rd, that light at the exit has been on flash all morning. I'd recommend getting off at Padonia or some other exit.
As for the show, nothing to write home about, but it's near me, so it was worth the short trip. Compared to 10 years ago it looked like 10% of the firearms they used to have. I saw HBAR's, old shotguns and rifles, some ammo, expensive knives, cheap knives, doomsday stuff and military surplus. Didn't see any worthwhile deals, so I just picked up some supplies.

 

[protegeV]

My boys enjoyed looking at everything. Shows are just not for me. I'm not an impulse buyer. I like to do extensive research and find the absolute best deal on anything I buy. Everything that I recognized was overpriced.

 

[aquaman]

just sayin'

lived in balt co for 25yrs

 

[Half-cocked]

Jerky, bead jewelry, $200 mosin nagants and $600 sks

$600 for an SKS? Hell, you can have my unissued M59/66 for $580. And I won't even make you pay admission.

First time down there for me and my son. We started to follow the people in front of us and I kept telling myself how great it was to bring all your kids. Then we got in line and it didn't feel right. Again, so many kids around. Then I realized we where in the wrong building. It was the Discovery Dinosaurs.

Got to the right building and walked around. It wasn't too bad. I was able to pick up a flash hider for my 300 Blackout, .40 bullets for reloads, AR15 exlarge place mat, brass hammer, pepperoni bread and donated to the homeless Vets. Son wanted some jerky but I didn't see any.

SAY IT AIN'T SO...............Oh the Humanity!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ironnewt]

As to ways to get there, if you are coming North on I-83, I would always go up York Road instead, I'd rather put up with the lights and make one left turn at the York Rd traffic light that leads into the fairgrounds at the big electric light (opposite the Giant) There are too many light and idiots on Timonium and the Light (Snail) Rail always screws everything up.

Wow! I wasn't sure it could get any worst then it was, but obviously it did. Shirts, pants, bags, no tube socks and someone already said they didn't find beef jerky
