I'll see you there daddy. What booth will you be at?
I think there will be several smaller AR builders with good reputations announcing and showing new Grendel line-ups, and maybe one or two of the bigger companies, although many feel well-equipped with their .300 BLK offering as the caliber of the week.
I hope Steyr debuts the AUG in Grendel, since I learned from a very reliable source from within Steyr that they were working on one in 2008.
I think the Steiner tactical line of rifle optics will be worth checking out, as well as the new March Tactical line with FFP, Mil/Mil, etc.
I'm hoping to see some innovation in the field of electronics accessory integration.
Maybe some belt-fed surprises await us...
.260 Rem will be more popular in AR10's, and we'll probably see some more manufacturers flooring their new big boys.
Now that Thermal Weapon Sights are open to civilian purchase, it will be interesting to see who the pioneers are.
We'll probably see some new uber tactical camo patterns spinning off from MC and ATACs. Gear galore...
Looking forward to seeing some of the new Safariland swede MultiCam cordura covered 6004 holsters through RedBack One (Jason Falla).
Hopefully US Machinegun Armory will be there with their mods on the Mk46.
DTA is having an SRS giveaway if you drop an entry at their booth.
Hoping to see the new Multicam boots from different makers.
There should be a healthy dose of trainers with good backgrounds and sound regimens.
I really appreciate the vibrant industry that seems to be thriving, even in tough economic times.
Oh yeah, I suspect Obama will send some jack-booted thugs to arrest someone from one of the eeevil capitalist companies like they did to S&W last year, with trumped up charges and plenty of entrapment to go around, just to kill with small cuts via legal fees. ATF & FBI should be banned from SHOT, in my opinion.
