Timonium MD Gun Show, Jan 20th and 21st.

[fpmst930]

Really crappy show. There was hardly any military surplus. Everything was priced high. Some guy selling some used ammo had some good prices but then the atm didn't work total waste of time.

Can't totally disagree. There was some tables with parts but not much C&R. I came on Sunday, but I heard that SCSG had the most, but it got sold on Saturday. They still had a few on Sunday. They also had the best prices on ammo 54R/9mm/30-06clips/223, and by Sunday 223 was all out, so I had to rely on the guy near the door that sold by the 100 count.

 

[Mr Oni]

What kind of surplus were you looking for?

A much larger variety with less exploitive prices. There were only a few people with any surplus and better prices available online which defeats the whole purpose of going.

Still hav'nt answered what you call "surplus"

 

[Mr Oni]

You that interested? "surplus" Military rifles. There you go.

Well considering he's a dealer and often has tons of surplus rifles on his table. Definitely saw some this show as well.

Obviously hes a dealer maybe he had more saturday but there was only one rack and a few guns on the tables sunday it was 99 percent ar and modern rifles. Including a crap load of ar shotguns? I didn't get that. I guess I'm too old school.

I was just trying to clarify what you meant by "surplus", did you mean surplus shirts and pants, surplus magazine holders, surplus ammo cans, milsurp rifles etc.... We had about 20 milsurp rifles and a couple milsurp pistols on Saturday morning, WE SOLD ALOT of firearms Saturday, so if you came out the second day of the show you cannot expect the same number of items to be had that you were looking for simply because they may have sold.

Well you must have sold all the good ones on saturday then because the crap i saw was overpriced and few and far between

yep so no point in going on sunday and no point in going to a venue where they can't even have operating atms.

Presumably he means older NOS ammo. .

Sunday is a great day to go to the show, especially the smaller local shows.
The dealers are looking at having to haul their unsold stuff back home, their bubble had popped and they are more than willing to deal.
Sometimes a dealer had a bad weekend and has to sell something to save the day.
Sometimes he had a great weekend and can afford to cut his margin slightly.
It amazes me why someone would go to a gunshow without taking cash, novice, inexperienced?

I made some snarky replies on here and I would really just rather get along so please excuse my impertinence(big word I had to google it) I didn't have a good time at the show because I am a flawed human being. I hope everybody else did though!
