INGO AR-15 Open House - Sunday, January 31st, 2010

[curraheeguns]

I'm already planning on attending, but I have a quick question. Will anybody be looking to sell any AR-15s at the event?

I'm thinking of getting a larger caliber rifle (as compared to my 10/22), and miiiiggghhtt be able to swing enough for an AR-15 by that time if anybody thinks can give me a kind deal. Otherwise, I think I'll be looking for something cheaper, probably along the lines of an SKS.

Dealers won't be able to sell and transfer at the event because it is not considered a "gun show" so the gun show exemption won't apply.

However, you could buy face to face from an individual or you can take orders from dealers and pick it up at their place of business or have it mailed to your local FFL.

Sounds like you may be able to buy lots of parts though. That's the beauty of an AR. You can build it a little at a time!

***********UPDATE************

Tonight I had a meeting with VUPDblue and shooter521 at MCFG to finalize planning for the Open House. Nick and the guys at MCFG have done an excellent job revitalizing the clubhouse, and it is ready to rock-n-roll! Here are a couple of the topics we discussed:

• AR Sign ups: please visit this thread https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...open_house_1-31-10_-_gun_list.html#post762326 and tell us what AR(s) you'd like to bring. We are going to try our best to eliminate any major redundancies in hardware.
• Safety protocol: NO INSERTED MAGAZINES - in keeping safety our top priority, we are going to ask that in addition to the "no ammo in the clubhouse" rule, that folks keep any and all magazines out of the rifles while we're handling them. People are also encouraged to take their own safety personally, and check every chamber to verify clear when they pick up a new weapon.
• Clubhouse layout: The clubhouse is essentially one large room, and during the Open House, the walls will be lined with tables. On these tables we will have rifles laid out with their barrels pointing at the walls. There is plenty of space in the middle of the room to accommodate mingling. People who are bringing gun(s) to show will be given a nametag to wear, and an index card to place with your gun(s)-- this is where you will be able to list what type of gun it is, along with any other pertinent information.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to post them right here in this thread. We look forward to seeing everyone on the 31st!!

Tentative attendance

Another self-professed noob planning to attend as an EBR is high on my wish list and frankly I'm clueless. Thank you all in advance for putting this together. Looking forward to attending my first INGO event.

 

[TopDog]

This is an excellent idea.
Great choice on location as well. Please count me in. I will not be bringing a Black Rifle as I own none. But I am looking forward to seeing what can be built.

I do not own a rifle of any kind at the moment, but this event will give me plenty of ideas

You have NO idea. . . . .

You have NO idea. . . . .

Think I will just tell my wife i am going to the range. It's true, in a round about way

 

[VUPDblue]

I'm gonna post here just to bump this. Keep in mind that this is an "open house" type event. Come and go at your leisure between 2 and 6. It may get REAL busy at times so be prepared for that. Also, the actual range will still be open to shooters (members) during this event, so attendees will need to stay clear of the firing line and obey any and all pertinent rules at MCFG. Safety is my number one priority. www.indyrange.com

Looking forward to attending! My AR15 is a heavy barrel target model - not interested in carrying that thing all day, so I'll probably just be looking at everyone else's toys.

 

[VUPDblue]

For those who are interested in bringing guns, you WILL NOT be carrying them around the entire time. Heck, you won't be carrying them at all. The plan is to have all guns laid-out buffet style. We are organized to a tee, as usual, so feel free to bring what you like, as long as it is a complete rifle. There won't be space for accessories/uppers/lowers that aren't assembled as a complete rifle.

ETA: we'll have plenty of table space, so if you want to bring your gun, go ahead, just please post it here for everyone to have something to look forward to.

Sounds like a fun event, I think I might be coming.

Couple of questions:

I assume someone will be by the table watching the guns? What about fingering the guns, I don't mind someone playing with it as long as I'm around to watch etc....

There will be some general oversight of the clubhouse, but it will be up to the individual owners to decide how much oversight they have of their own rifles.

 

[VUPDblue]

Also, the clubhouse isn't all that big. I don't know the exact measurements, but keeping an eye on your gun shouldn't be that big of an issue.

 

[DecaturGB]

I am a real noob when it comes to this platform. So I will tentatively put this on my calendar. Anyone bringing an SR-22? I am interested in seeing one of these.

The SR-22 is not an AR in any way, shape or form. It's a 10/22 playing dress-up. Thus, it was not invited.

 

[pierce195]

I plan on coming over and will bring along my RRA sbr, S&W 15-22, and Colt smg 9mm.

Putting this event on my calendar ...

 

[acetylcholine]

This is the most horriblest idea for an event ever!! I'll be there, drool in hand! My question: Are you sure the clubhouse is big enough for this?

PS, I just bashed myself in the teeth with a spoon.
