I just got back from the show, everything was over priced as usual, only ammo was reasonable. I did see some good deals:
Valdada 10X 56mm Tactical for $400
Swavorski 10X42mm Tactical for $700
other than that nothing else.

There were a LOT of hot girls at the Market Place next door though.

Also, got in for free by entering from the rear enterance.


Anyways, I bought 600 rounds of 7.62x39mm ammo, some stripper clips, and a holster.

And yeah, most of the guns (weren't that many) were VERY over priced.

One table was selling a Yugo m59 for $300 - new wood stock, numbers didn't match, no bayonet. That was a rip-off.

The only things that got my attention at the show are the .50 BMG rifle

That would be the .50 DTC as .50 BMG is now banned.

Sorry for a newbie question, but what's the differ between DTC and BMG?

From the EDMArms website (http://edmarms.com/news.htm):

"The 510DTC cartridge is not a new cartridge. It uses .510 projectiles but uses a case that is different from the .50BMG. The 50BMG round will not chamber in the 510DTC. The main difference between the two cartridges, although powder capacities are similar, is that the 510DTC has a shorter neck (100/1000 inch) and a steeper shoulder angle than that of the .50BMG. I am told that .50BMG cases can be sized and then fireformed in the 510DTC."
