I'm in but I'm hiding my wallet

[EO3]

Man, I really want to go...

[UWone77]

You totally should. 2 day event wouldn't be too much out of pocket. Good time to walk around with some of your graphic design portfolio...

[fairlanericky]

The wife and I are going.

[EO3]

I'm seriously considering. May see if I can get a couple guys to go with me and split costs.

[velocity2006]

I will be going to this. Looking forward to seeing some of you guys there.

[Battle Cock]

I want to go and wear a shirt that says Ask me about my Battlecock.

Anybody local got a couch I can crash on? [BD]

[Dstrbdmedic167]

For those that are going that aren't local this is the hotel I will be staying at. From what I can tell it is literally across the street from the convention center.. Book Now! Friday-Sunday cost me $432 which was about what my plane ticket round trip cost.

This.

The Marriott is the best Hotel IMHO in the City of Tacoma. No worries about parking either, just walk across the street to the Convention Center.

You guys should just split the cost of the room.

Pretty sure I'm going to make this.

I just wish they would have consulted with me on the dates. Lol I'm driving out to Utah to kill elk 3 weeks after this.

Booked flight and hotel. Any need for a rental car or pretty simple getting around by cab?

[Sak007]

Depends what you want to do , there isn't much in downtown Tacoma aside from a couple restaurants & bars , but then again there isn't much around Tacoma either .
There is a really good comedy club http://www.tacomacomedyclub.com/events/9034 not the best lineup for that weekend though .

[Sak007]

If anyone wants to go shooting the 28th out on the Olympic Peninsula I have access to a private range with 400 yard rifle & 100 yard pistol & a 1000 yard + steel gong

No, the summer event has been dumped for this event. Rainier still has guys at the local gun shows offering up those same type of cash deals if you ever attend those.

[Sak007]

The invite to the range is open to WEVO members from Wa or in the area visiting .

Except for the LeMay Car Museum, the Museum of Glass, the Washington State History Museum, Tacoma Art Museum, Point Defiance Zoo... [crazy]

For anyone interested in restaurants downtown, or somewhat close to there, I highly suggest TheKoi, Harmon Brewery & Eatery, or Doyle's Public House.

Is the Convention center a private entity or is it owned by the city? If owned by the city, doesn't this section of RCW 9.41.300 apply?

(2) Cities, towns, counties, and other municipalities may enact laws and ordinances:
(a) Restricting the discharge of firearms in any portion of their respective jurisdictions where there is a reasonable likelihood that humans, domestic animals, or property will be jeopardized. Such laws and ordinances shall not abridge the right of the individual guaranteed by Article I, section 24 of the state Constitution to bear arms in defense of self or others; and
(b) Restricting the possession of firearms in any stadium or convention center, operated by a city, town, county, or other municipality, except that such restrictions shall not apply to:
(i) Any pistol in the possession of a person licensed under RCW 9.41.070 or exempt from the licensing requirement by RCW 9.41.060; or
(ii) Any showing, demonstration, or lecture involving the exhibition of firearms.

I've never been to any gun show, auction or trade show involving firearms that allowed carrying a loaded firearm. Even a outdoor show in Texas had a checkpoint and sent a few of us back to the vehicle to leave weapons.

The Convention Center is a City Property.

Hope to see some of you guys at the VIP Event

Saturday August 27th @ 7:30pm


The VIP event is up. We will have food, beverages and lots of heroes and industry leaders at the event. We will have dodge ball for prizes, and a ton of other cool events planned. It will be off the charts fun and with limited seating.

Make sure you get your tickets now.

Tickets are $100 per: http://nwshootingsportsexpo.com/vip-event/

[UWone77]

For those that are coming, Cross Machine Tool will unveil the new Handguards there, as well as a couple of muzzle devices, and of course the new 9mm chassis

[UWone77]

So during the VIP event, for those of you that are going, there is a free for all dodge ball event (for those that are not prone to tweak, break, or pull something with a hint of physical activity) The last man standing apparently gets a Gemtech Suppressor that they donated.

TONS of prizes for the VIP event. Since the max ticket count is 250, your odds are pretty good at taking home something cool

[SINNER]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZXHsNqkDI4

Training starts tomorrow.

[BD]

[UWone77]

If you're on the fence about the VIP event, here's a discount code:

RAfnf2016

1. 10 vs 10 that will be called at random to participate in our Dodge ball event, sponsored by Gemtech, winner wins a Gemtech Suppressor of their choice.

2. Joes vs Pro's, 6 real live Army Rangers are going up against 6 real live Professional Laser tag shooters, winner of that event is winning an optic from Sig Sauer.

3. Live performances by a couple of local artists, Kid Sensation, Collosal Boss and Decent at Best as well as local DJ Sean the Shaman.

4. Alcohol is open and sponsored by Jim Beam and Tatoosh Distillery. Bourbon, Wiskey, Vodka, Beer and wine will be served.

5. Food also provided.

6. We hired 2 Cigar rollers that will be rolling Cigars on the spot.

7. 100+ industry execs from all of the companies coming to the Expo will also be on hand.

8. Free laser tags and games all night.

9. I got Gemtech Suppressors, triggers from Elftmann and CMC triggers, X Products Drum mags, 80% lowers and Sig Sauer Optics and MCX rifle to give away at the raffle. so you will have a 1 in 250 chance to win one of these items, with more items coming.

Coupon code again for the tickets is RAfnf2016. Remember all of this is going to a good cause so we want to raise as much money as possible. There will be opportunity to buy additional raffle tickets for the event at the event.

[SINNER]

I must say the exhibitors list has grown to be quite impressive.

I'm not going merely due to lack of funds, but for anybody here on the fence, if you want to meet more people in the industry, VIP events are the best way to go. It's usually more personable and relaxed, and there's no rush put on reps to get through the line of people waiting to ask questions.

Good and bad.

I love CMT (understatement). Never had a bad word ever to say about RA. Everything I've gotten from them has been top notch.

But I don't like not being given the choice to build it like I want it.

I guess I can stop waiting on that much anticipated product to hit the market.

Good to know. Is yours compete yet or did you just get the lower? I can't remember.

Haven't really done anything until my Form 1 comes back.... so I probably won't deal with building it out till the end of the year.

Can't do anything if you just have a lower since it's a proprietary set. I think Jeff is building it out.

[UWone77]

Not sure you guys caught it, but there is really no "build" to plan .... these are only going to be available as complete Form 4 SBR's or Pistols. They aren't selling just the receivers separately.... at least for now.

No I didn't catch that. :(

My dad did just have Kidney removed. Maybe I'll see if he wants to buy one of mine.

[fledge]

I'd probably go pistol and decide later to SBR it. I wouldn't want to build up this one. In the pics, the stock looks long and flimsy though clever.

[Pyzik]

Is that an ACE style hinge or proprietary?

[UWone77]

So a few things quickly from CMT and NWSSE

1. The new handguards will be released in 4 weeks. They will only be available in MLOK. Mod 2's will have continuous top picatinny rails. Future mods include a full quad rail. Checking out the rails, they are non-timed barrel nuts. The anti-rotational tabs are very tight with the CMT Uppers, but a perfect fit. These will likely not work on other Billet uppers, but will be fine on Milspec Forged Uppers.

2. The 9mm gun will only be available as a complete gun. Future plans do include selling the receiver and bolt separately.... however that maybe a few years from now. So it's possibly in the cards, just not any time soon.

3. The stock when folded acts as a foregrip... but it's not offset, it locks into place in the middle of the rail with an adapter. The stock will be made available at a later time to fit CZ Scorpions and Sig MPX's.

4. The Mega Arms SF .308 Frame is just sick. Wasn't planning on buying one until I saw it.

That's just a quick hit, only about a quarter of the vendors were set up by the time I broke for lunch.

I haven't been following much of this thread since it's an event far away from me, but can someone please provide a physical address of tomorrow and Sunday's festivities (the free events).

A friend of mine just moved up there and he has expressed interest in going.

An actual street address and venue name will be helpful.

Thanks! I forwarded the information. Possibly might get another attendee.

Guy just moved from Commie-fornia and is interested in firearms.

Just checked into the hotel. Traffic sucks but damn this is a beautiful city.

[Pyzik]

Keep the thread updated. Thanks Uwone.

Thanks, UW. Good to hear about mega SF. I had planned to bypass it too but I'll give it another look.

Hopefully nobody ended up in a hotel on Hosmer St, adjacent to I-5. Crappy area.

[SINNER]

Courtyard right across the street from the venue. Decent room but I guess a suite means different things on the left coast. LMAO

[Sak007]

Where do I bring donuts for the WEVO guys and how many will be their ?

So a few things quickly from CMT and NWSSE

1. The new handguards will be released in 4 weeks. They will only be available in MLOK. Mod 2's will have continuous top picatinny rails. Future mods include a full quad rail. Checking out the rails, they are non-timed barrel nuts. The anti-rotational tabs are very tight with the CMT Uppers, but a perfect fit. These will likely not work on other Billet uppers, but will be fine on Milspec Forged Uppers.

2. The 9mm gun will only be available as a complete gun. Future plans do include selling the receiver and bolt separately.... however that maybe a few years from now. So it's possibly in the cards, just not any time soon.

3. The stock when folded acts as a foregrip... but it's not offset, it locks into place in the middle of the rail with an adapter. The stock will be made available at a later time to fit CZ Scorpions and Sig MPX's.

4. The Mega Arms SF .308 Frame is just sick. Wasn't planning on buying one until I saw it.

Those CMT rails are really nice. I don't have a project going to use one on, but after taking a look at them, I was pretty tempted to get something started.

I ended up ordering one, just because.

I wanted to hate it , then I held it and fell in love . I really like how the stock folds to a front grip .
And that Multicam Scar at Handl wow

It was interesting. I like that it uses a common Glock mag, but I have a hard time getting too giddy over a big pistol.

That's because you're lame and want to see it as a pistol instead of a PDW/SBR.

[fairlanericky]

Any plans for a WEVO get together tomorrow?

[Dstrbdmedic167]

I'm down for one. Just need a time and area to meet at. I've been so busy today I didn't even get a chance to speak to Eric even though I was standing 5 feet from him. I also didn't exactly know who he was either but the Wevo polo helped lol. Anyway I'm exhausted so just let me know..

Honestly I love seeing your photography even if things are occasionally backwards. [:D]

[UWone77]

Dave, I'm just wondering how you tightened the castle nut. People at the show were taking bets that it wasn't torqued enough. [:D] Judging by how beat up the castle nut is, I'm guessing whatever wrench you used, slipped more than a few times.

I torque nothing. Seriously, I've never bothered to torque anything. I wrench it down, go a little further and call it good.
This particular castle nut has been on a few extensions. It's so beat up because I couldn't get it off when I had the Mega lower. It was ON there.

I plan on ordering a new one, actually. Never realized just how beat up it looked until I saw saw the full size banner of it... lol.

EDIT: I'm using this one...

You should have given me a kick in the butt to get my attention. Sometimes it takes a lot! Unfortunately the next day that work thing got in the way. I indeed hope that this event will continue and grow each year.

We were both talking at the Strike booth. When I was finally able you were gone lol. Gotta love that work thing.

I can indeed see it being much bigger next year.

It was. They'll throw it in storage and reuse it for next year and other events. The cloth inserts are easily changed out and can be updated as needed.

Rainier and Mega had the best exhibits as far as presentation goes.

My biggest regret was not making an effort to get over to Rainier's store to check it out on Friday.
