Very cool. Troy Arms is releasing an AR15 upper that will accept the P90 mags and use the AR magwell as the ejection chute. Gonna list for about $700.

I picked up a Fobus front vertical grip, a fobus collapsible stock with the optional saddle, an Aimpoint 3x magnifier, and some .223 ammo for my AR. I also picked up a bipod for my Remy model 700.

Oh and I also got yelled at for having a loaded magazine on my persons. Appearatnly having a loaded mag despite being ejected from your firearm is still considered having a loaded firearm. :uhoh: I was a bad boy...

That is truely an excellent gun. I bought one several gun shows ago and put a red dot on it. Its a fantastic plinker.
Funny...my father just bought one at the show too! Cost of ammo is getting out of hand but .22 is still 11 bucks for 550rds :)

Somewhere I read that there were to be "no loaded guns or magazines" at the show by anyone other than law enforcement.

Thats entirely possible. There were a ton of signs. The one I do recall reading said something like no loaded firearms, no exceptions.

Either way, now I know better the next time I go there. :D

Here's the Nation's Gun Show site and their "Show Rules". I just happened to see it before I went, so I could get a $1.00 off coupon. Didn't use it, though. I opted to add another year to my NRA membership - $10 off + free admission and no waiting in the line. I unloaded and carried an empty mag. I looked for someone to plastic tie my 45, but, alas, couldn't find anyone to check it and tie it, so went on about my business.

I like taking advantage of the gun show revolver loophole :)

A speedloader or speedstrip is not a magazine:lol:

Neither is a moon- or star-clip (like the star-clip for my Taurus 905 =).
