The company reached this decision after Reed Exhibitions banned Modern Sporting Rifles and has refused to reconsider their stance.They chose...poorly.

This is a good move by Mossberg. Very recently, Mossberg starting producing a very modestly priced AR.

Good old Mossy. A company as reliable as their guns.

I have one of the MMR Hunters. It is a great gun. The prices have shot up though. They are pulling $1500 or more on gun broker.

The Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show exodus is a watershed event.
Anybody who chooses to go down the road Reed Exhibitions traveled knows that a similar fate is in store for them.

Yes, you’d think he would have bailed as well.

Yeah. All ARs, if you can find any, are way overpriced right now.
Interesting. I have only seen a couple of reviews of the mmr (not many of them out there yet). Do you have any other ARs to compare it to? Is it on the same quality level of a Bushmaster or S&W M&P 15 Sport? Have you tried shooting steel-cased ammo yet? Does it have a full or semi-auto bcg?
Just wondering.

At this trend, there’d be only ‘spitball contest’ in the Great Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show.

not true, the MSM has intentionally censored the story from the public.
Has Drudge mentioned it?
Has Rush mentioned it?
Hanity?
Beck?
etc. etc?
it is not high on the public radar. at $7000 a pop (remember some of these sponsors only put a deposit down , not the full amount) this represents at least a 1,400,000 loss. This is appart from sponsors, appart from attendees not going.
The MSM does not want their advertisers panicing.
The left does not want to let politicians know they are in danger of not being re-elected.

I would guess that Mossberg isn’t having any trouble selling their wares these days, show or no show.
