Hey Juggernaut, I did go to the last Bob Pope show and it is a little better than Bill's. I bought a flare launcher and an 120rd drum for my AR while I was there. Now they did have a killer 50 cal there about 5 tables down from the entrance door that was pretty cool. They also had a couple HK of some kind but I'm not sure what modle they were. One was a 45 cal and the other may have been 223 but I'm not sure about that one. They were a light grey plastic gun and I wasn't sure on the quality of the gun since I never saw one like that before. Did you happen to see the guns I'm talking about?

Yep-the new .45 is the politically correct USC, and the .223 is the politically correct SL-8. Neither over 10 rounds. Neither are, in my mind, really worth the cash, but HK can't sell us HK94's or MP5's here, so this is what we get. I'd skip 'em, unless you're rich and want toys.
The 50 you mentioned MAY have been the new Armalite AR-50 I saw. Big scary thing...
I actually was pretty happy with the show, I saw some well priced HK tacticals, a .40 USP I would have bought w/ hicaps, if I wasn't broke, $300 HS2000(Croation Glock-type), Steyr Scout rifle, $2000 preban UZI Fullsize semi, and some others. I also sold my Mini-14 for $450. Whoo-hoo! It all depends on what you want-for example, if I want AR parts, I visit J&T's parts booth, but AK parts are nowhere to be found-neither are cheap AK's. They also cater a lot to collectors and antiques types, rather than decent utlity guns on some tables. These I avoid. There's a lot I wish they had, but I'd be even worse off if they weren't there at all..
