My kid and I hit the last one to get some ideas for a 10/22 build. We actually left with a Vortex scope, then ordered a bunch of parts from the parking lot.
Having 1/2 the vendors trying to tell me why there overpriced stuff was overpriced didn't make it fun. I would rather hit the range... |

I enjoy gun shows. Good deals still to be had if you look hard enough and are willing to talk to people like a Human being.
Last Dulles show, I walked out with 600 rounds of new production, brass-cased, 9x19mm for $0.29/round. I’m not saying you will find that this weekend but take your time, talk to people and enjoy American freedom. Make sure to stop by one of the VCDL tables and join or renew. If you join/renew OUTSIDE, you can SKIP THE LINE and get into the show for FREE! (but you should join regardless because VCDL does a lot to fight for YOUR Rights) |

the warm weather we are having means the dress code now in summer mode
so that makes people watching kinda interesting, so far I have only seen a couple of 'wtf were they thinking' or otherwise know as 'walmartian outfits' |

At the other end, in the smaller building you have the urine soaked homeless guy shopping for t-shirts, ...at least he was there yesterday. Will see what exotics happen today. |

They call it the fun show for a reason, and as fun as it may be, we should remember these vendors are providing a valuable service for us. The fee to get in is higher than it needs to be, but it keeps the crowds more manageable and the vendors know if people are paying to come in they are coming to buy. The people are the market and they drive the prices. people don't buy prices go down, people buy and prices go up.
Now, as soon as my parachute pants and beater or done drying, I'll be heading to the fun show :) Have a great day everyone. |

Thought about it, but have not been tempted by anything in the last 2 or 3 shows, so went shooting instead.

Is the VSP still meddling in private transactions for free at gun shows?
And do they just run the buyer’s info through the background check system or do they record the firearm’s serial number and that sort of stuff as well? |

I used them a couple shows ago. All things considered, it was the least painful route for a private party sale

I drove by today, Friday, at 3pm.
The parking lot was completely full. It probably will be crazy busy this weekend with all the threats about gun control. |

Goodness, I feel like I've been to that one a gazillion times. I remember many years ago when I'd sometimes go on both days of the weekend.

I would be interested to know what ammo prices are like at the show. .223, 7.62 and the other usual suspects. Thanks!

I got there around 5, got parking in the closest lot with several spaces open. Not crowded at all. I was there until about 7. I did see some ammo prices lower than last time, but I can't remember exactly the price. I know I have been seeing $360 per case of 9mm at recent shows, and I just know it was less than that. There was some ammo there made by some oddball country that looked shiny at least, and was cheap. The guy had a booth full of that brand of ammo. Fun to walk around and look.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Rumsonv2: I enjoy the over priced ticket. OMFG, $34 for my nephew and me!!!  Parking was a breeze (Sat at 1100), not overly crowded. I was amazed at the diversity of the crowd and THE DEALERS!!! It's been years and years since I've been to Dulles, the last time I went, seeing any black folks would have been a "Oh look, black folks!" moment but they, Latinos, and RoPer-looking folk were everywhere!Didn't get jack shit, though. Prices on everything I saw were just ridiculous.  But folks were snatching it all up. I saw one dealer with a looong table, where one side was all guns, the other side was all computers and customers filling out paperwork.I saw no VSP presence on Sat, not even at the entry points. Man, $4 for a very small large soda and $5 for a bland sweated hotdog on a soggy bun. Or maybe it was vice versa. |

that snack bar is good for a cold drink when needed, and sometimes a hot tea in the morning, otherwise I send a helper out to grab food at one of the nearb places, (the Bento House is pretty good)
we do each and every date at this show and this show was about typical for the June shows, she used to not have one in June but got a bit greedy I guess, think about the date,, High Schools are letting our or have just let out, it was Fathers day beautiful weather lots of other stuff going on in the area, (which is typical for this weekend, ) we had a good show, made a connection that ended up in a large estate buy Sat Nite after the show, and sold just under our average, first 2 guns we tried to sell on Sat was to a guy that could not comprehend (English was his first language) how to fill out a 4473, so he self denied himself and was told to go away and anther that could not produce any ID with the address he put on the 4473 (after I asked him if the address on his license was correct, he put another address on the form,,, wtf people,,,,) re the Diversity, this show has been a big diversity show for a few years, lots of folks from damn near every where, some are tourist and or looky loo's, |
