Okay, real fast. Posting this from hotel computer.

Coolest new rifle at the show. KelTec. Forward ejecting, .308 Bullpup that takes FAl magazines. This thing blew me away. It is awesome. Coming in 2008. Price will be spendy.

2nd coolest. Anzio Ironworks 14.5. For when a .50 is just for sissies. 110 pounds of fury. Effective out to 4,000 meters. :)

Lots of other cool gear. Will post more as time allows. Now have to go back to the show.
 
Kel-Tec is my new hero. That rifle, as pictured, is so awesome I want to cry. I was almost blinded by its majesty. :D

Do me a favor? Hobble over to the S&W booth and see what they've got going on.

What kind of guy wants to carry a futuristic bullpup rifle and a double-action revolver? THIS kind, that's who! :p
 
Ouch! 20MM?!

What would the cost of those rounds run? Two miles range?

Correia,
Do all of us Ruger fans a favor. Drop by their booth and ask them about the NEW VAQUERO in .45LC and using +P and hot hunting loads. I keep hearing a lot of "internet gun experts" telling everyone that you cannot shoot hot loads in the New Vaqueros, and I'd like to hear it straight from the horses mouth. For the life of me, I cannot imagine ANY gun mfgr. in this modern litigeous society making a gun that will blow up by shooting loads that one can buy off the shelf at any gunshop.
If you do get a real answer from Ruger, can you place it as a sticky under "Revolvers"??
 
I am not at the SHOT show...though I would like to be...just like last year I am at home scouring the internet for rumor, pictures, innuendo, press releases and whatever other goodies people can communicate from the site.

I agree on the Kel-Tec rifle...seems a very cool design.

Here is a link to the Kel-Tec owner's group where the rifle is being discussed. You'll find some pics in there and a link to the advertising brochure they are handing out at the show.

Kel-Tec High Efficiency Bullpup Rifle
 
Very cool that they went with a pre-existing magazine. But 32" barrel? That seems ridiculous. Anybody have figures for 7.62 or .308 out of a 32" tube?

I'd prefer an SU-14. Like the SU-16, but in 7.62.
 
So, that's made my decision between an FN and an AR that much more difficult. Great. :banghead: :)
 
Left handed revolvers from Charter Arms - neat. $2000 - too much!!
 
IT says its gas operated, but wheres the gas tube/piston assembly/DI tube? OR is this...blowback :what: Can you get more information about this please?

One bad boy!
 
2nd coolest. Anzio Ironworks 14.5

Does the Anzio have some BATF exemption letter to allow the large bore, or do you need to get your DD stamp?

I know that JD Jones has built several rifles over .50, and gotten exemption letters for "sporting use".

What is the point of that Kel-Tec at $1500-$2000? An AR-10 or M1A costs the same :scrutiny:

If they got the price under a grand they'd have something ... otherwise I don't expect them to sell many.
 
That Kel-Tec is sexy. I want one......NOW!!!!

Mmmm, 20mm rifle. Ammo is what....$200 a round. Add another $200 for the tax stamp if it doesn't get exempted. So $400 a round, probably close to $10,000 for the rifle yet I still find myself wanting one.
 
ScottsGT: go to a gun shop. Compare the size of the cylinders of the Ruger New Vaquero, any previous Ruger model built on the 44Mag-size frame (SuperBlackhawk, "Old Vaquero, etc) and any Colt SAA or clone.

The New Vaq cylinder is shorter than prior Rugers and smaller - near identical to the Colt.

Next, go to Buffalo Bore's website where they list 45LC+P up to 325gr/1,300fps:

http://www.buffalobore.com/ammunition/default.htm#45colt

Quoting:

These Heavy .45 Colt +P loads are safe in all LARGE FRAME Ruger revolvers.
(includes Blackhawk, Super Blackhawk, all pre-2005 Vaquero, Bisley, Redhawk)

These Heavy .45 Colt +P loads are NOT intended for the New Model Vaquero (small frame).

These loads are also safe in all modern Model 1892 leverguns as well as all Winchester & Marlin 1894's

So yeah, Ruger DID do something this stupid. And we agree, it was. They should have stuck with 44Spl, 38-40, 44-40 and 357 on the new mid-frames.
