Report -- Richmond VA Gun Show

By the 0900 "Doors-Open" time, the line was easily 4-5 times its usual length. We didn't get in the door until 0935 and we were only about 1/2 way down the line.

They had state cops taking pictures of the folks in the line, as well as a local TV crew doing interviews. Some of the more paranoid in-line feared that the state cops were gathering intelligence on those in the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (VRWC) and the suggestion was made that we all simultaneously moon the cop a la Braveheart:

A BraveHeart Reenactment: Probably not that great of an idea after all

I suspect that the cop was actually just assessing the size of the crowd for Fire-Marshall and capacity/safety concerns.

Once inside, it was (surprise, surprise!) danged crowded. Prices were fairly high but selection was decent for all but EBRs (Eevil Black Rifles), reloading components, and Mag-Pul magazines. Of course, the latter were what I was looking-for.

140-round 0.308 Battle-Packs were available for $75, which was a better price than I had seen in a while. Not a great (or even good) price -- but at least they had the stuff.

Reloading stuff was in EXTREMELY SHORT SUPPLY, especially primers. Rifle primers could not be had for love or money.

A few Yuppies were in the crowd, but far fewer than up at the DC shows (not surprising, given the relative demographics btwn DC and Richmond). By 1100 the place was crammed so full that the O2 supply was dropping below 5% -- it was time for us to leave.

A Sweet Rifle from Korea

Credit goes to he who is unafraid to borrow (steal?) good ideas from other folks:

The K1 assault rifle was developed circa 1983 by the South Korean company Daewoo Precision Industries Ltd (a division of the large industrial corporation DAEWOO International Corp.) as a replacement for the license-built M16A1 rifles, used by the South Korean Army during the 1970s. The improved version, Daewoo K2, appeared circa 1987 and replaced the K1 rifle in production and service. At the present time the K2 assault rifle and K1A1 carbine are the general issue shoulder arms with the South Korean Army. Semi-automatic only, export versions of the K2 rifle, known as a Daewoo DR-100 (pre-1994), DR-200 (post-1994, both chambered for .223 Remington cartridge) and DR-300 (post-1994, chambered for Russian 7.62x39mm cartridge), are intended for the civilian and police markets. The earlier K1 semi-automatic versions were exported from Korea as Daewoo MAX-1 and MAX-2 rifles (both in .223 caliber).

The K2 rifles were designed as improved variations of the M16 rifle. While retaining most of the M16 design features, Daewoo designers replaced the direct gas system of the AR-15/M16 rifle with the more common and reliable gas piston system, and made several other improvements, resulting in very good combat weapon.

I got my K2 back when they were still legal and I still had my FFL. A very nice, highly reliable rifle.

I want one!

I need a pen-pal in Canuckistan.

Class III Weapon ?

Very clever!

Gun of the Week

The CETME was the predecessor to the H&K G3/91. It was built in Spain after WWII by German emigre engineers (from MauserWerke):

A Pretty Rifle -- the Wood Hardware Seems Strange after Black-Plastic

It's a .308 roller-locking delayed-blowback rifle with a 20-round magazine -- just like the G3/91.

Practically as heavy as a Garand or M-14, it'll put-out plenty of 30-caliber firepower.
