SHOT Show Teasers?

Okay… so no one else has broached this, let’s see how it turns out.

With some of the folks that are part of M4C, we all know there has to be some good info out there – being as cryptic as you have to, what sort of new goodies can the folks expect to see at SHOT?

And we all know SOPMOD Block II is done… what else is on the menu?

I think the single stack Glock .45ACP will be there, the S&W M&P45, SIG 556.

We’re supposed to have 2 SIG 556s on Tuesday (I’ll believe that when I see them).

I don’t know if they will be “tactical” configurations, but Les Baer has already announced on his Website that he’ll have his ARs in 6.5 Grendel at SHOT 2007, along with Black Hills 6.5 Grendel ammunition, which will have “tactical” implications. :smiley:

Rob, WOuld be nice to see some current pics of the production 556.

I’ll bring my camera with me to work on Tuesday and take a couple and post some pics. The rails/handguards are supposed to be shorter, the grip more like a SIG 550/551/552 but the same cheap looking Samco style CAR stock (which should be easy to swap to any carbine AR stock). I think it would look good with a CTR stock on it.

I forget what the conclusion was, are they putting a mil=spec tube on it?

I don’t know, but check it when we get it.

It is my understanding that they are using a shortened commercial tube, but someone here my correct me on that…

The Shrike will finally be released.

Well David F did a review of the Les Baer and it had a 16" barrel…Also Leupold has some new hunting Optics coming out (VX-7) and the pricing is Outrageous! I am sure if they have a new lens for the hunting line than the tactical line will get a face lift…

I also heard that Wolf is coming out with Grendel Ammo:D

The only SS teaser I can think of is that K.L. will be there to sign autographs. :smiley:

better get there early. there was a line of people waiting for K.L.'s autograph at the SAR show in phoenix.

No doubt! I hope I can get my pic taken with him. :eek:

Only if you pose in a speedo :stuck_out_tongue:

Nah, it may have appeared that way… but I was just validating parking.

Now the hit attraction was in the SAW booth!

There are a few large things on the horizon, but I’m not sure if they are going to be released at this SHOT or the next. I would guess that the SOPMOD items will be main attractions. A few companies also have out complete uppers, but I’m not sure that qualifies as “new” goodies.

I think the three "P"s will be well covered (piston, piston, piston).

Thank you for reminding me. That’s something that is high on my list of things to check out.

Rumor has it that he will be teaming up with Chuck Norris to hand out free ass-kickings.

:smiley:

Yep. Got the pics via email from Sigarms. They are posted at Sigforum.com

Man they really butchered the 550:(

eta: and where the heck are the sights? I like to hit my target.
