Don't know what you are talking about.... |

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 ?? ML |
|
|
Mark, I did not make it to the range.. the little Reed got upset at me for posting pics of his father's collection on line three years ago.. anyhow, you can guess why I miss the range day.. LOL for all the good thing I do for KAC and this. oh well. I will get tot he bottom of the range incident..that would not reflect well. Chen |

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! ~ redfisher |

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. |

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 |
|

If you really want to get back at KAC, you should make a political statement and send me your URX in disgust |

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

SMGLee
Is that the Magpul vertical foregrip you mentioned earlier in this thread? |
|
Does anyone know the answer to this question? |

We do what we can when we see it or get notified of it. If you see something thats a problem, IM someone. |

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. Mark |

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. |
|
Thank's and very well done!!!
What would people like me, who do not have the chance to visit such shows do without you !!! Very informative! |
|
Just one of many thanks for the pics.
BTW, did Leupold have their Prismatic on display? Any pics? |
|
Hey SMGLee,
I was the tall Hong Kong stranger speaking to you at the HK Booth. You can check out my pics here: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=118&t=311227&page=1 I look forward to bump into you again at the show next year. |
|
|
SMGLee,
Did you happen to take a pic of our CQ/T mount ?? M. LaRue |
|
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. |
|
Wiseass. |
|

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 front |

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, i did not get a chance, your booth is like six deep everytime i swing by, i barely got five minutes withy ou before you kicked me out.. just kidding, but you were pretty darn busy so i did not want to trouble you. |
|
|
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. Cheers, Phil |
|
Not any time soon....if there was a void in that area, then yes, but the market's pretty well covered by the nice offerings of Troy and Midwest Industires, etc. M. LaRue |
|
|
Roger that Chen, I was quite pleased with your photo of me and you. You got both our good sides. ML |
||
|
Did Troy release a non-FF rail? |
|
|
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. |
||
|
Yeah, one of them clamp-on or snap-on thing-a-ma-doodles. All kidding aside, Randall is right. Ouch, that hurt. ML |
|
|
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. |
|
|
Yes Randal, but the common theme here is...both types are for the wusses that won't tackle pulling their sight towers off. (whine) "But it's pinned".(whine) Ya'll don't get your panties sucked up the crack of yo' a$$e$...just havin' a little fun here. M. LaRue |

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. Mark |

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

Just being funny Stick, don't get your panti....oops, I'm repeating myself. ML |

Saaaaweeeet!
Wish Bush sr. wasn't such a dick! We could have HKs. |
