Gun Show this weekend

Post by littlesamurai »

Are you going to the show at Chantilly this weekend?
What are you expecting to get?
Do you know where to go for used firearms at the show?

Overcrowded and overpriced.

I think I may skip this one. If I do go, it'll be to buy some accessories and a couple of the signs I saw there last time.

Everywhere for used firearms - both attendees selling them and many of the tables.

Everything gun related seems overpriced these days, but it is a good place to see firearms that your local store does not carry :)

I got some 5.45x39 spammo at the last gun show in September, $160 for 1080 rounds. Not bad.

I went to the show on Friday with my wife and a friend. I was looking for another M&P Shield in .40SW but there were none to be had. I wound up getting a great deal on 2 pistols from Dark Sun Surplus. My wife bought some aluminum pistol cases and my friend had an AR upper built by Precision Firearms, so it was a productive trip.
