Went to the NRA Convention in Atlanta - Photos Inside.

[Schuetzenman]

Didn't get to spend as much time at it as I wanted. Didn't get to any of the conferences or presentations. Just mostly walked the 15 acres of exhibits looking at all the gun candy. I can't think of one manufacturer that was not there. I saw most of the big names; Magpul, DPMS, S&W, Colt, Noveske, LWRC, Beretta, Sig, Nikon, Leupold, ATN, Geissele, Remington, Henry Rifles, Mossberg, Sierra Bullets, Buffalo Bore, RCBS, Dillon on and on. Too many to mention.

So here are a few random photos from the Convention Exhibit floor. Oh and I got to meet Hickok45. I ran into him walking in to the convention center and when we got in side, we did the photo op. BTW, all photos are from my Samsung Galaxy S8 phone I got a week ago.

Hickock45 and me.


Auto Ordnance pimped out gold plated Thompson with tiger stripe pattern. The magazine looks like Damascus steel pattern.



The sig MPX 9 mm pistol with telescoping Sig brace system. This thing is an NFA killer. I want it so bad!


Vies of the exhibit floor, 600,000 square feet. This only shows maybe half of it. Reminds me of Shot Show.


A Henry rifle in .45-70 and suppressed.


The DPMS GII .308 AR type rifle diagram.


One of the first things I ran into coming onto the exhibit hall floor. Impractical but I wouldn't mind having one.

Cool show. Did you get anywhere near Trump's speech? I'm sure is was standing room only.

The show looked great. I would love to go to one some day.

Steel feed ramp? Supposed to weigh less than other designs in this caliber too. Personally I'm all for more but except for the gas piston ARs I haven't seen all that much difference in the "new models" that have been coming out for a long while now.

Nah, didn't get anywhere near his side of the event. Secret Service would of required me to check my Glock at the door to get in to see him. OTOH many of us were packing at the show. I met a buddy I use to shoot with when I live in North Carolina, he and some of his budds came down and we met up on the floor of the exhibit hall.

Another personality there was R. Lee Ermey, he was at the Glock booth doing the PR thing, signing photo or hats etc.

Looks like a great event. I hope to have a chance to go.

I have a g2,it is lighter than the gen 1 guns,and alot more reliable. I have the 24in bull barrel. I have about 600 rounds through it,and not one malfunction. I wish my other ar-10s were this reliable. Easy to shoot sub MOA groups.the only downside is that they don't have the aftermarket support yet that the gen1 guns have.I'm not bashing the gen 1 rifles,I have one and really like it,but,I like this more.

That MPX pistol is cool and I want. My carbine has been awesome so far.
