    Nations Gun Show - Chantilly VA

    Does anyone know if vendors will be at this show who sell AR15 lower receivers?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    The Chantilly show has gone SO FAR DOWN HILL in the last couple years, I will not go anymore. They have become OVERPRICED and UNDERSTOCKED. More jewelry, toys, and food, than guns.
    Save your time and energy and find another show to go to. Here is a link to upcoming shows. My favorites are; Fredericksburg, Richmond (RIR race track, NOT the NEW one at the convention center), and Doswell is getting better. Just my $.02 (Dale City is small but has the BEST FOOD of any venue)

    Have no plans to ever go there again.

    The show shares the parking lot with strip stores. The mall cops will tow any gun show cars that they identify, if they catch you parking in one of "their" spaces. But, the entire lot fills early on weekends, & there is no street parking within a mile or two.

    AIM Surplus is good to deal with, I buy C&R's & ammo from them.

    I am afraid many "Gun Shows" have gone down hill. As far back as 2006, the big Cal Expo gun show in Sacramento CA was down to one building with arts and crafts, jewelry, dirty movies, pottery, and a few gun related tables: maybe 20%. Back in the day (1980s and 1990s) it was three full buildings (upstairs and downstairs), and 95% guns. It was second only then to the great (but now extinct) Pamona gun show.
