Hello.
Just got the confirmation that I'm going to IWA (European "Shot Show") this year.

Is there any other of my AR friends going there?

Hmm...I spoke today about this with my Dad. After nearly 20 years, we don´t visit the IWA this year. The last years, it´s nearly allways the same. The only new was the "new" prices and "Armatix"

Unfortunately I will content myself to go to the (smaller) EXA in Brescia, next April.

I dont think it will be so boring for me, because I desided, after 20 years of thinking about going there, finally do!

We'll be there on Thursday.

Gerry,

The dates show it is On Fri 12th - Mon 15th

So you may not see alot

Actually I'll see it all in Spades prior to the public.

Depends on who you go with - I'm doing the set-up work for someone's stand!

That explains it then sorry

You are a Gentleman,

No problem, Pal.



We'll see each other sooner anyway - I'm bringing the Blaser R93 .243 Winchester (again) to the UK!

I am very keen to go but notice that you need to be trade. Am not sure that they will stick to this but dont want to get there and have the door shut in my face. Has anyone any thoughts on whether they are likely to refuse non trade entry.

howa

they enforce the "in the trade rule" quite harshly, remember its in germany all kidding aside it is real hard to get in if you are not in the trade.

Maybe. With Gun City guys from NZ.

Me, too. Not from the trade, either but I know someone who is.

Most interesting product: A new, nice single shot from Haenel-Merkel, price about 1/3 less than a K95. Nice finish, direct trigger, hand-cocking device.

Amazingly unadvertised, the big hype was their new straight-pull repeating rifle Helix.

IWA product.
