[strickj]

I soo feel sorry for folks with a slow connection!

:drama:

TBC...

[xd shooter]

Fine job strickj.

Man Hatmaker looks mad:hiding:

[strickj]

I was unable to get there until close to closing time which is why the place looks empty..

That's a great price on ammo!

Lots of it there, too!

.

[VERO1]

Thanks for the pics. Looks like dang good inaugral show to me!

[lowbud]

I would have gone but darn near 8 hours travel round trip... Ugh!

[strickj]

Sorry for so many pics. Just trying to give a feel of what was there!

^^ I'm lovin' me some of that red stock!

And as per Joes request....the slim lens

Phew... I think that's it, for now.

If anyone would like a full size pic, just let me know, and I'll email them to you

[Guest goomba]

sigh, I'm not gonna make it. but my roommate will be there.

somebody drool for me.

[Guest TurboniumOxide]

I would have been there, but I have a perforated eardrum. I am suffering horribly. The place looks like a candystore. :-(

[strickj]

Whoops.

Looks like I may have missed a few during uploading.

I should have pics from every vendor, so if anyone notices someone missing, let me know...

And of coarse the TGO lounge!

[Guest The Driller]

i wanted to go and fine me a shot gun but couldnt get away. doesnt look like they was much of a crowd.

[Guest spoolie]

One word.....donuts.

[Guest bkelm18]

Very impressive. Looks like a great vendor turnout. I'll try to make the next one. Thanks for the pics strick. Only took about 10 minutes to load.

Strick said the pics were taken close to closing time.

You should have taken some pics of that AAA walnut stock for the AR's. Never seen something that impractical that made my mouth drool (absolutely beautiful). I'm fixing to start my first actual AR build (this one will be for my wife), and may actually put one of those bad boys on it (the guy says he sells a lot of them but never to someone who only has one AR).

Yup. Everyone was starting to clear out once I took the camera out.

Oh, and sry bout the load timer!

I took several pics of them.

I did post a couple, but I'll look to see what others I have.

Any particular stain you were looking for?

Critical Defense??

[Guest HexHead]

The facility itself is very depressing looking. Hopefully the plan isn't to continue to use it as the home to all future shows.

+1 I agree

[Guest JHatmaker]

Fine job strickj.

Yeah, David had just told me I had to go clean up some throw-up in the bathroom...

I need to learn how to smile, I do look pissed...

Meh, I like it. Gives it a "clandestine operation" type feel. Anyway, you're there for the goodies, not to marvel at the architecture.

My only complaint with the place is the lighting sucked for photography.

And of coarse I didn't bring a flash,and was forced to use the pop-up on camera flash. (why some pics have a shadow in them )

It would be awesome to see future Expos held at convention centers, but I know the cost of those venues would be pretty high, though.

Critical Defense??

Was Critical Defense there?

I got shots from three other vendors with ammo, but must have not seen them...

I thought the other one was funny looking...

[G27]

Was is das?

Maybe it's the angle, but I can't make that thing fit my mental image of anything. Looks cool.

Thanks for all the great pics!

{edit: looks like a GSG5 pistol?}

[strickj]

Not sure what that is.

I thought it looked absatively posilutely neato but couldn't get a good downward pic of it due to the case and flash.

here's one that shows a bit more of the top, but it's not a very good pic though...

[Guest Guardian5]

It is indeed a GSG5. There was only one at the show in the corner of the display box.

[G27]

Yah, it is a GSG5 pistol - me likey!

The dark AAA grade walnut. Since I was a kid, I've always loved beautiful firearms with high gloss blueing, engraving, and high grade walnut stocks with checkering (i.e. Beretta Silver Pigeons). Wonder if anyone has ever beautified an AR in a like manner?
