Chantilly Virginia Gun Show

It was once the best show in the Eastern US but the promoters' greed put an end to that.

Well, that is regrettable, but seems to happen more and more with gun shows.

I really enjoyed my time when I lived in the Reston/Herndon area of No. Va. back in the mid-80's.

I like the Phoenix AZ SAR Show 2-4 December. In their 'machine gun' building I often find the odd P.08 and P.38 parts for a good price. And the dealers often negotiate. A number of times, I've flipped a coin to decide my price or dealer's price after negotiations. Always won - so far.
