I have some pics of some really cool stuff, but I cant post them until Thursday  It should be a good show this year. I wont make it, but be sure to stop by the Daniel Defense booth and say hi to Eric (TheRicker), and to check out the AR10 w/the extended gas system

I'm hoping Colt surprises us with something
But when I looked at the floor-plan and booth locations, only Colt's Manufacturing is listed as an exhibitor. Hopefully that was a typo or a matter of semantics We want Colt's Defense showing off their new stuff! Not sure how new it is but ARMALITE is offfering the SuperSASS AR10 Maybe it is a SHOT SHOW into |

I got the February/March issue of On Target magazine today and it has a small article about the 6.8 MRP.
It says they are doing final testing and will be taking orders at the SHOT Show. |

damn... what's not going to be there is just as good as what will be there.
bigbore has a couple of nice pics that I know of... but the deal is that anything that anyone knows about for sure can not be talked about at this point. But there will be some very interesting stuff there. |

I'm most interested in the SIG SG556 which is said to take AR15 mags, and the FN ARM. I've never been one for AR15 "extras". I prefer my toys free of rails and fluff. I just spoke to a distributor and industry person who said he was 90% sure that SIG was showing a civilian carbine. The Local SIG rep said he got a memo form SIGARMS saying that all SIG reps are forbidden from talking about the P250 and SG556. Who knows what will happen. Four more days... |

I wonder what ARES has to offer?
 Maybe Geoffrey Herring will be there with a little table, issuing refund checks. Hey Mr. Bigbore Sir, What intel are you holding out on? Cut loose Homie!  wp |

I just hope those fortunate enough to be there will take great pics for the rest of us! Stickman, are you going?
As far as other rifles go, the SIG 556 has certainly got my interest, though it would be nice if they had a 7.62 version for us civies. We can only hope, but I doubt that will be available anytime soon, if ever. I've also heard speculation that the new civilian SIG 556 may have an AR-15 type stock rather than the folding one on the current sig 550 series--I'm hoping that this isn't true. On another note, maybe Nightforce will release their 1-4X that was supposed to be out forever ago. |

Who's receiver are they using? Is DPMS building the receivers for them? I heard that DPMS is building a recei ver for Fulton Armory, but using a FAL Mag. Why didn't RRA just buy the tooling from Bushmaster? wp |

I dont Know if they are making the receivers themselves or not. According to the catalog it will be available summer '06 and us FAL metric or L1A1 inch patern mags. Prices range from $1100 to $1350 all with wilson barrels

I just want to see the fabled Sig55x gun. Even if it does end up being an AR/SIG abomination.
 I'm still hoping it will be more 552 than AR15. |

I talked to the head armorer of RRA and he said that they did all the work designing it (he mentioned that they've been working on it for over 2.5 years). When Bushy dropped the rifle, RRA was stuck with just over $1,000,000 in parts and decided to make their own. WIZZO |

I was supposed to be going, but something has happened that I had no control over, and I'm going to miss it. Its a shame, because I was going to show how nice am I by letting people buy me beer....  I've mentioned it before, I think this Shot Show will have more new items and AR15s than in the past several years put together. |

I am hoping they will have some new stuff for the 6.8 SPC, or it is pretty much dead. Atleast a cheaper ammo source(Or consistant brass source) and someone design a higher BC bullet so this thing can have some long range use.

Everyone at SHOT be sure to linger at the Leitner-Wise booth. Anyone buying a gas inpingement AR15 might as well be buying a flintlock. Go to the next level.

If you don't mind scrubbing your AR every time you shoot, go ahead and stick with 40 year old technology. I'd personally rather clean the action once a year or every 50,000 rounds and have 100% reliability. |

So are the new rock river 7.62x51's going to address the bolt failure problems that plagued the bushies? I can't see them being a good system with that weak link still in place, or was that blown out of proportion to begin with?

I think the LW system is more than promising, but if you can't stay on topic atleast stay realistic.
I think this year's SHOT show is going to be a huge hit. Last years SHOT wasn't fully recovered from the AWB sunset, but it looks like this year will be the best yet. To bad I won't be there though.

From my IM's with Steve/RRAMODERATOR, they have fixed everything that was wrong with the Bushy BAR-10. He didn't go into detail, but he said they won't have the same problems. WIZZO EDIT: and on the L-W system, I, for one, am not jumping on the bandwagon to buy a $1000 upper or a $600 conversion system. |

If you've never been before, it's overwhelming. I suggest the three-day approach. Day 1: Walk around with a map and mark down the booths you want to stop by for a closer look. Don't linger anywhere more than 5 minutes and just keep moving and marking. Day 2: Plan your attack over breakfast. Figure out how many booths you want to see, and look at your map to figure out what the best route would be. Also figure out how much time you're going to have per booth. Day 3: Should be the last day. Alot of the vendor will be selling stuff at wholesale prices (I picked up a Benchmade Balisong and Luminox watch at 50% of retail when I went). Also you can make up any booths you didn't get to hit on Day 2. |
