C & E gun show any good ?

Post by wabbit »

I saw on their web page for C &E gun shows they're having a militaria and gun show at the Dulles Expo this weekend. Does anyone know if this show is any good for buying guns, ammo, and gun parts?
Thanks.

It's probably okay if you're looking for more military-oriented guns and parts. I know last year they merged it with a standard gun show and wound up with some really unhappy vendors, they may have split them again this year.

I went to it two years ago when it was a standard militaria show. They only used a third to a half of the building. But I got to meet Ian Skennerton, so I didn't really care.

I went one year, and was very disappointed, as I am not into militaria - patches, uniforms, hats, etc. There may have been one or two normal gun dealers there. If you're into that kind of stuff, then it's a great venue.

As said above... mostly militaria. Prices are kinda high on most items. Some deals CAN be found, if you look hard enough.
