Did I miss a pic of the Keltec .308? Did you have time to hit their booth as well?

Thanks for all the great pics. It seems your coverage is routinely the best every year.

Chen,

It's rumored that there was a pretty nasty range injury sustained at the Knight facility shoot?

Were you there ?? Any info ??

SMGLee

with respect to your notes on the Colt 10 series monolithic rifles, did you by chance break any of them down to see if they were using the UDT coatings yet? Or was there any word of it?

I did bump into you a couple times at the SS, and literally broke out in a great big grin when I saw all the pic-snappin' going on.

It was all the confirmation I needed that you'd come through for the enthusiasts here.

Great shots, insightful observations.

thanks again!

That's a shame.

You have been nothing more than a KAC champion. I would think all KAC employees who are familiar with you would thank you for promoting their products with detailed reviews on websites such as these.

I hope I get a chance to meet you in Vegas next year. It will be my first SHOT Show.

I worked pretty damn hard on this thread, I rather you don't turn this into a bashing of some kind. ARMS or not.. At least Brain was kind enough for someone that bad mouthed ARMS to take pictures and hang out a bit. That sure wasn't my reception at KAC by Reed the third...

SMG - My post was not an attempt to bash anybody. It's just something that struck me as funny. That said, I can see why my post bothered you and I apologize. I would have edited out myself but I see I was beat to it. (too bad the mods aren't as quick to edit all the other BS that gets posted in the tech forums but that's another story

)

Anyway, I just wanted to apologize to you and thank you for all the pics and info you provide us

SMGLee,

I tagged this a few days ago, and have been reading along.

Thanks for the pics and reviews - very nice.

I didn't see anything related to Trijicon/optics. Did they have anything new? I have an idea for an optic, and will write to Trijicon in a day or so with my idea. Probably another lead balloon, but what the heck...I know exactly what I want, and there is nothing on the market exactly like it.

Also, I searched for info on that Aimpoint M4 and found nothing. If you happen to have a link or something...

Thanks, again.

I was there, and at two of the three ranges, then at the food tent afterwords. I didnt see or hear about anything though.

Hope you guys enjoy it and see you all next year at Shot Show 2008 in Vegas.

Outstanding!

Unless I missed it, you didn't say who made the standalone mount that the LMT M203 was mounted to (you identified the grip, but not the standalone shoulder / pistol grip adaptor). It wasn't the KAC was it? I didn't think KAC had a version for the rail-mount M203.

Does anyone know the answer to this question?

Hmmm, sounds like things are gettin' a little tense down in the sunshine state. Oh to be that fly on the wall.

I know you don't know what to expect when you walk into a ShotShow booth...so thanks for leading with your "Chen" and getting the much-anticipated pics.

Mr. Lee,

First, thanks for bringing us all the Show related goodness. It's the next best thing to being there.

Second, thanks for mentioning LWRC objectively. I love mine, and am glad to see someone post about the rifle and it's performance, without the politics and innuendo.

On that note, I think it's telling that the products of the major manufacturers getting all the attention seem to be piston guns.

That reminds me...I've got 500 rounds of Guat and free range time...gotta go pack up.

Thanks again.

Pastry out.

Hey SMGLee,

You can check out my pics here:

There was some special run-dry coatings inside the 1020 at last year's Shot Show when Ken broke it down for me...

I think that's UDT's UltraCem coating, no?

THanks for all the photos.

BTW what was the big problem with anyone posting too early? Doesn't your edit button work? You could have easily added everything into your first post.

One of the highlights of this ar15.com board over the last few years is SMGLee's SHOT Show picture threads.

I keep going back to the saved threads I've kept every now and again to show friends what the latest gear is, and from whom, and when, it will appear...

Thanks very much for posting the pics SMGLee and please don't sweat the small stuff on the thread... nor keep it from posting again next year.

cheers

I was on that particular range shortly after it happened. No high drama. Tarus was running all their new polymer guns and the 1911. Not 100% on what happened, they mentioned it, but said nobody got hurt. I think wrong caliber round in the wrong gun.

There werent any coatings on these this year. I asked specifically then broke down the guns. They looked standard to me. The Colt rep said the production guns would have it. I'd really like a 1033, very light. I was also super impressed with the newest gen SR15. LaRue's booth was of course sweet. The range trip to KAC was awesome. Shooting the Knights XM110 prototypes was great. Wish they were available. We also shot the MRP out there, any one know why the recoil has so litle muzzle rise? It was fun!

It was "puddles of blood" coming out of a somebody's bullet-in-the-cheek face wound. ???

Huh, Then you heard differently. Perhaps they downplayed it so we'd keep shooting. There was a big row of steel targets, perhaps they started out closer and someone ate a fragment. Just passing what I heard, probably wrong.

SR25 with the suppressor and the thermal weapon sight was where it was at anyway.

Mark, or anyone else in the know;

I haven't heard anything else from shot, but I am wondering if Larue has any plans of releasing a quad rail non free float forearm? Thanks for any help.

I doubt it.
Mark's just confused about what a FF rail is...

He was thinking of one that does not require removal of the original barrel nut and front sight base.

Clamp-on and snap-on are type very different things...

Mark obviously knows this, but for others that may not...
MI, Troy and Samson FREEFLOAT handguards clamp-on to an existing barrel nut.
Other handguards like LaRue, Daniel Defense, Knights RAS, JP, Badger, PRI and YHM use a dedicated barrel nut and therefore require removal of the old barrel nut and front sight base in order to install them.

Regular plastic handguards snap-under the delta ring.
This also includes rail systems like the Knights RIS, Surefire, MI, YHM and Fobus handguards.
None of the the snap-under types are freefloat.

Some folks have rifles with permanently (well, for the most part

) installed flash suppressors to bring a barrel to legal 16" length. For those guys they just about have to use something like the Troy rail because the front sight base just ain't comin' off without also removing that pinned/welded FS. Other than that reason, I agree with you; removing the FSB isn't as much a pain as many folks think.

It was great to meet you at Shot Show, Mark. I've been a huge fan of your products for a long time and it was great just to finally shake your hand.

Do it right...
Buy your rail from a dealer that will also install it for you.
