As the show draw ever closer, we have been informed that AFV Club will be sending us a built up Stryker kit, a set of the sprues and a set of the instructions for viewing at AMPS 2007! Contrary to what is being posted elsewhere, the kit is not out in Asia or anywhere else. These guys broke their butts to make sure that one of the first, final test shots came to AMPS. It is being shipped today and is expected either Thursday or Friday. Way cool!

In addition, when they found out that we were having a raffle, AFV Club air shipped us a huge box of 23 kits and multiple accessories so that it would get here in time! Way cool even more!

With all the recent discussion about how the manufacturers don't care about customer service, this is a refreshing turn of events and one which AMPS appreciates. AFV Club is to be commended, not only for doing cool kits but also for being part of the show in verying ways!

Those of you who have not taken advantage of the special "Join now and get the Stryker issue" offer have less than 48 hours to get in on this deal. To recieve this special 40 page, full color Stryker issue just visit http://www.amps-armor.org/ampssite/default.aspx and click on the "Join AMPS" button in the "Quick Links" box.

The Stryker issue will be shipped to you separately and is NOT included in the 6 issues of Boresight you will recieve as part of your membership (giving you 7 instead of 6 issues).

Very nice news Robert.
Looking forward to meeting you at the show.
Also looking forward to recruiting a few members to judge the Armorama.com award. Being old, senile and unable to bend to well, due to a bad back, perhaps if a few younger more flexible members could step forward to this, it would be greatly appreciated.
