Can anyone recommend gun shops in Northern Virginia that sell 30-round AR15 mags?  Thanks!

Thanks!  About how much $ are we talking about here?  I guess the prices won't be as good as online.

I think they sell Brownell, D&H, NHMTG, Bushmaster, and Colt mags. The first three are around $17-$18. Bushy mags maybe $19-$20. Colt at $23-$24. They also sell Magpul mag accessories.

You might be able to catch one of the shows up there in the Dulles Expo center.  I found a guy there that was selling USGI 30's for $5 each.  He had Adventureline, Colt, Okay, you name it and it was in the box.  I bought a bunch of the Adventurelines and they function flawlessly even with the old black followers.  Go here: www.ar15.com/content/page.html?id=21, looks like the next Chantilly show is Nov. 18-20.  MJD

Thanks everyone!  I drove to VA Arms this afternoon and got myself a coule of D&H mags.  That's my own way of doing the one-finger salute to MD politicians who banned mags over 20 rounds.

While I was there, I overheard an unhappy customer talking to his wife.  The guy walked in to buy a handgun for defense.  However, since he didn't know much about shooting, the sales clerk recommended that he start with a .22LR.  The guy was mightily offended.

Then there was another guy who wanted a .45 and wouldn't be seen holding a 9mm Luger handgun because he heard it doesn't have enough stopping power.

My own dose of gunshop education came when I asked if they carry Wolf in .223 rem.  The lesson was something about steel casings and lacquer finish ... http://taiwanmilitary.org/mikeh/albums/album10/DSC01775_copy_2.jpg

It works good for 65% of the people out there, the other 35% want there money back.  It is harder on extractors and I've personally seen a stuck steel case in one of Hoplophiles ARs.  Why not use what the ARs was designed to use?  Wolf works great in AKs and SKSs though and that's what they were designed to use and that's what I use in mine.
