Anyone else going to the Washington DC area Gun show at the Dulles Convention Center November 18 to 20, 2005?

Haven't miss one since they started having shows there a year and a half ago. I don't see a reason to miss this one.

To others - this is a pretty good show. Not to much jewery and military BS to wade through to get to the "good" stuff.

What do you classify as the "good stuff"?

I'll be there checking stuff out. I'll have on my AccurateReloading hat on with "577NitroExpress" on the back and "Double Rifle Shooters Society" on the side. So if you see me, say hi.

C. Wathen,

Winchester rifles, Ruger rifles, Mauser actioned rifles, Marlin rifles, Swith & Wesson pistols, Colt pistols - I think you get the idea. Military type weapons and Military surplus does not hold a lot of interest for me.

There are 3 or 4 or 5 vendors selling high end shotguns and double rifles.

The best show in the DC area.

I know what you mean. Too many shows are full of toys, candy & beef jerky, jewelry, women's purses and low-end junk guns. I'm more surprised they allow gun shows in the D.C. area.

Well it's not DC. It's northern Virginia. The National Gun Show in in Chantilly in Fairfax county. This gun show just start summer last year with the repeal of the 7 day waiting period.

Like I said large show. A handfull of high end guns. A large representation of mid priced guns and very few jewery and purses.

Hell I may go Friday night and Saturday day to cover everything. Plus I have a new buddy who is new to the DC area to take to the show on Saturday.
