Westminster, MD Gun Show

Norton, congratulations on the SKS. Those are fun guns, I do like mine (didn't at first since it was extremely inaccurate but I found the problem and it is fixed). Hmm, you mostly checked out the rifles? Did you see any good deals on used AR 15s, Mini-14s or AR-180s? How about CETMEs or AKs? Unfortunately something came up so I probably won't be able to make it before they close, but if you saw a good deal on one of those or a good selection of CETMEs I just might reschedule my obligation (since it was a prior obligation that was rescheduled by my study partner). Hmm, actually, what time do they open? I might be able to get there early.

Chaim,

I have to admit, I was shopping by price yesterday. I was looking for a cheap "project" rifle so anything over about $250.00 I pretty much glossed over.

In the AR15 department, there weren't nearly as many as at the last show in Frederick. I did see a few mini-14s but it really seems to me that everyone was trying to sell their mil-surps and shotguns. There were bunches of Mausers....I had to pry Spot77 anyway before he did something bad

Yes, must pay the mortgage, must pay the mortgage.....

Besides, I can always pick up a $99 Mauser just about anywhere....

The SKS though....might have to make the trip to Arbutus for that one.

Seemed to be a fair show.

Of course the other way you could have looked at it is that it is only a $99 piece of history and a fun shooter...You know you want one. I know a dealer in Arbutus who usually has some pretty nice surplus rifles at decent prices (Nagants, Mausers, M1 Garands...). I'll give you directions if you'd like


Unfortunately I couldn't get to the show. I couldn't get a hold of my study partner to reschedule. I guess I'll just have to wait for the next show. Isn't Silverado having a show in Frederick in November? It will give me a little time to save anyway (assuming I don't just buy what I want online or from a local dealer in the meantime ).

Chaim:
That dealer in Arbutus is EXACTLY who Norton got the SKS from, and he is also the one with the Mauser 8mm I was looking at. I'm supposed to stop in there tomorrow to look at a few things....I never knew they were in Arbutus; I drive right past the m ALL the time......
