YES, MY BROTHER!!!  I TOLD YOU!!! 

 

Rule #1:  Spend at least a day in the main upstairs venue.  You can spend 3 days there and not see everything...

 

Rule #2:  Don't forget that there are MANY, MANY, MANY satellite venues on the perimeter of the upstairs venue.  You could spend 3 days in those by themselves, and not see everything in them...

 

Rule #3:  THERE'S A DOWNSTAIRS VENUE THAT RIVALS THE UPSTAIRS VENUE!!!  Don't wait until Thursday to discover that...  <lmao>

 

 

 

Have fucking FUN!  Holy $hit I wish I was there with you.  Find Roger.  <thumbsup>

 

If you don't get your picture taken with Costa, you're not trying hard enough...  <laughs>

So, I'm not gonna lie. Today I spent most of the day with SWORD International. These are some of the coolest guys in the fuckin world.

Here's their .338LM (12.2 lbs naked) with its OSS supppressor and a USO 5-25x glass

Here's their .308AR (9 lbs naked)

Both rifles are completely built in shop EXCEPT for the Lothar Walther barrels. The .338LM has a billet aluminum 10rd mag!

These rifles are a completely new piston design. All self adjusting and flawless. The rifles are an obvious evolution of nearly ever high end rifle on the market. The features they have and the parts they use.... WOW! Every inch of these guns were combat veteran designed and tested. The .308 currently is just under 20k rounds of test fire... using Black Hills ammo... With only FOUR failures... Two were attributed to bad primers, one to a bad magazine spring and the last one was an actual rifle malfunction.... 1 in 20,000 ain't bad!

The OSS Mission suppressor is the sickest fucking design I've ever seen..... Ron! You need this and I have the hook up for you! The best part about this show is how cool people are. John Hash from OSS was uber knowledgeable about this stuff, from a "been there, done that" perspective.

I'm headed to an after party now. I'll have more later... stay tuned!

What's on the upper of the top .308 in the picture? Do you pull that back to charge it?.

Those rifles look sick!

Yes. The .308 and the .338 are both left side (non reciprocating) charging handles.

Currently the 5.56 model uses a standard charging handle.... that may change in the future.

I'm not here on a media pass, so I'm not supposed to take a bunch of pictures... I save the pictures I do take for the shiit I know certain people will love...

Like Edgecrusher....

LWRCi's new .45ACP sub-gun. It uses an M4 trigger and selector, as well as AR furniture. This little bastard is built like a tank. The rep advised that it is still in prototype form, but for now it uses HK UMP 25rd magazines. Very impressive.

Oh Ronnnnnn.... I didn't forget about you.

I got to fondle the .308, the .300 win mag and the .338LM... With the integrated suppressors...

The new OSS Gen5 suppressors are GAME CHANGERS. No suppressor should ever be made with baffles again.

Here's the small one. Good for .22 to .30 cal, with a small adapter

Here's a closer look at the BIG boy. Made for .338LM, but it can handle upto a .50BMG.

All OSS cans will have this new front end.

Let's look closer at that SWORD .338LM

Billet, full ambidextrous controls... including bolt hold and bolt release. (Look at the front of the trigger guard)

That is the folding side charging handle. It is VERY robust. The magazine is also billet aluminum. Of course it's all Mlok compatible, as keymod slowly fades away.
