So, I went to the Nations' Gun show in Dulles

Same old, same old. Having gone 4 times now, I even know the layout of most of the dealers. Mainly I went to pick up ammunition for my new Auto-Ordnance M1carbine in Choate stock (= "quasi assault M1 carbine"). Had a pretty good selection of ammunition, and since I excluded steel-cored ammo, mostly $18-22 per box of 50. Compared to online prices these were good, and no S&H made it worth the trip. Picked up some other odds-and-ends, but for the most part, it was the same dealers selling the same stuff. I did notice how prices on vintage M1 carbines have skyrocketed, and I think I saw every AR-platform and accessory known to man, and then some.
But hey, not a bad way to spend my time and cash on an otherwise hot weekend!
