Very nicely done!!
I always get a kick out of how much I miss at the show. What are your highlights and must haves?
Interesting...

Did EDM license the updated M96 to Remington? Everything about this says to me "Windrunner with Bill's magwell upgrade but new forend, brake and scope base".
Thanks for sharing.
Site is back up
Interesting that they blacked out the lumens for the M300V. :confused:
Thanks for posting that deadduck. Yours is the first comprehensive review of the show that I have seen.
Thank you.
Thanks for sharing.
Did you happen to hear what the thread pitch is on that PPQ "Navy" model?
Thank you for the great coverage. I'm really stoked that more companies are developing some purpose-built jungle boots!
THANK YOU!
What'd LMT have this year?
Thank you! Great photos, well organized.
You could ask over on Walther forums. IIRC at least a few folks have put a can on theirs.
The PPQ is really nice, but be aware for some reason they didn't put sights that will clear a suppressor on the Navy. Or at least on the original. But as far as I can see in the pics, that doesn't appear to have changed.

Suppressor height sights aren't necessary anyway, thanks to eye dominance and the Bindon Sight Principle.
Any word on the Voodoo tactical discreet series bags? Especially the backpacks.
Wish i was there, always wanted to go to shot
I will definitely have to find a way to get to the SHOW next year
Thx for the pics
Great pictures. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for posting up OP
Any info on the 6.8 SPC Federal had there? potential price?
This will be the first of many threads to go up on M4c this year. I do apologize for the delay since SHOT show flu kicked my butt for a good week.
Here we go.....
This year, HK broke cover on their 416A5, which was build and designed based on a requirement by the German Spec Ops community, this updated and revised version of the 416 will be utilized by the KSK and the likes within the German military.

Notice the revised gas block to enahble easy of gas port asjustment for suppressed or unsuppressed shooting.
Also notice the longer rail now covers the gas block assembly.

Updated rail locking screw, it is no long the cross cut that enable the use of a bolt lug, this is a simplified design with just a slot cut.
http://photos.imageevent.com/smglee/...e/P1110143.jpg
I also notice a roll pin on the upper receiver near the rail. I asked the HK rep at the booth but he did not know the reason for the added roll pin. I assume it is there for the piston rod or some sort of a guilde for it.

The rail address is now reconfigured to allow more rail slot for better accessories mounting across thre rail and the upper receiver.

The most significant change to the 416A5 is the lower receiver, it features the mil-spec mag well and ambi controls.
The reinforced wall around the controls is interesting. i have heard both augment for and against it. I personally don't palm my bolt catch, I use my thumb to deactivate the catch so the added wall around the controls does not bug me as much as some others.

Build in front sight to the CQB-R rail. I did not see this feature on the 14.5inch version of the 416A5.

The enlarged buffer tube castle nut is for the sole reason to pass the German army drop test, the added length enable the gun to be dropped from additional 5-7 feet higher.
Most of this updates we witnessed on last year's G28 sniper platform that won the German army contract.....so you can see the extension of those thoughts on the updated HK 416A5.

http://photos.imageevent.com/smglee/...e/P1110089.jpg
Also notice the extended rail section all the way to the rear of the upper receiver? kind of like what POF is doing with their and I believe a better way of doing things than the original flare section without rail....
http://photos.imageevent.com/smglee/...e/P1110078.jpg
A shot of the 416A5 with the roll pin vs. the IAR. you can even see the slight enlarged block for the rail screw on the A5 vs the original design.
