Show was a typical sucky baltimore area show.  Did find several Ar15 uppers but no great prices.  I did get one of those evil guns as described in the AWB.  I got a Enfield Mk 1 No. 5 Jungle Carbine, with a evil flash supressor.  Did feel a little dirty when I bought it.  They did'nt even check my ID and did not want a copy of my C&R.  I was like "WHAT, So where did this gun come from".  But it's no skin off my nose, I bought it legally.

Was there a lot of info/ petitions, etc. about how to fight the back-door-pistol ban and AWB plus the new AWB tax?

I'm sure there must have been a lot of activity on the ban - after all, it affects the dealer's bottom line.

I saw some signs on the AWB and asked if they knew about the tax.  Some said no.

marylanders can't really buy anything though, right?

The fact that you have to go out of state to find a decent gunshow is an indication of a state-wide problem. You guys should not go to York, but rather, head to Annapolis.

Technically there isn't anything you Can't buy.  Though for some it you'll need to find a dealer that is willing to sell to a MD resident, and in other cases you'll need a to find a MD FFL to accept the transfer (i.e. a handgun).

I did pick up an evil FNH PS90 for $1800
expensive and overpriced but i don't care

You must have bought the black one from Shooter's "discount". I almost grabbed another AK, just to have an underfolder before the next ban, state or federal.

yup - i was quoted $2400 by another dealer a few days ago so i grabbed it
Almost bought one of his AK's but didn't know when i would have time to pick it up
the ps90 was cash and carry

Which one?   THe $1800 legend or the $2000 polytech national match with the 20" barrel?


The on guy had them for $499 yugos.  Not bad at all.


Then a guy had them down the isle for $699.

I was going to pick up one of the $500 ones
Right now I am trying to build up my "Piss of Liberals" collection which is basiclly any gun that looks evil - so far i got the Beretta Storm, AR15 and now the PS90
still looking for an FS200 and the next go around will get the AK

I think AK's are at the top of the "piss off liberals" list. AR's are up there, but everyone seems to "fear" the AK-47. Those Yugos are actually a good buy if you can find one without a canted front sight base. They do have some trigger slap, even with the Tapco G2 trigger.

Please elaborate on that

About 1 in 3 of them come from the factory with a front sight base canted to the left as you look down the barrel (as if you were shooting the weapon). Can make for some interesting sight adjustments at the range. I personally examined almost every one in the pile that Shooter's Discount had at the Timonium show and couldn't find one that was "straight enough" for my liking. I already have an AK, so it wasn't a must have item.

thanks - I'll keep my eye out for that

Can you replace or adjust the front site at all?
