2020 NRA Annual Meeting Cancelled
Friday, March 13th, 2020The 2020 NRA Annual Meeting is cancelled.
We have been closely monitoring updates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Tennessee Department of Health. In fact, earlier today, a state of emergency was declared in Tennessee.
Therefore, we have reluctantly decided to cancel this year’s NRA Annual Meeting, planned for April 16 – 19 in Nashville. This applies to all events and scheduled programs, including the NRA-ILA Forum. We sincerely regret the need for this action, particularly for our many loyal members who join us for this annual celebration of the NRA and our constitutional freedoms. Details regarding a rescheduled NRA Members’ Meeting will be forthcoming.
Under the direction of NRA President Carolyn Meadows, the NRA Board of Directors is working with the Office of the Secretary in relation to board elections, meetings, and the like.
Please know that we did not reach this decision lightly. We were ultimately guided by our responsibility to help ensure the safety and well-being of our NRA members, guests, and surrounding community.
Please coordinate directly with any hotels, airlines or others who have assisted with your travel arrangements. Most companies have announced plans to accommodate travelers dealing with event cancellations.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

CMC Barrels Announces the Release of its New AR Barrel Line
Thursday, March 12th, 2020
Fort Worth, Texas: CMC Barrels™ is proud to announce its highly anticipated line of CMC AR Barrels. Since the 2018 inaugural launch of the CMC Glock® Match Precision Barrel, CMC has had the objective of developing a series of high-quality AR Barrels that complement their exceptional line of AR aftermarket products. The CMC Barrels™ AR Barrel line does just that.
With input received from military, law enforcement, and civilian shooters incorporated into the core engineering of their AR barrels, CMC has been able to accommodate the modern-day shooting requirements requested. Every barrel is precision, instrument-inspected for absolute straightness and air gauged for maximum uniformity, yielding the highest accuracy possible. Land and groove tolerance from breech to muzzle can vary only .0001″ for the best concentricity.
The first profiles availed will be based on the SOCOM variant. The CMC’s AR15 barrels are made from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium, coated in H&M Blacknitride+™ for increased wear resistance, chambered in .223 Wylde so that you can feed it both .223 and 5.56 NATO ammo.
CMC’s AR15 Barrels provide a choice of gas system lengths along with M4 feed ramps for reliability, a 1:7? twist rate, 1/2?x28 thread pattern to fit standard AR15 muzzle devices, 11-degree match crown for increased accuracy and a bottom dimple for easy install and alignment of gas blocks.
CMC AR15 barrels are coated in H&M Blacknitride+™ or Ferritic Nitrocarburizing, resulting in significantly improved surface properties on ferrous metal parts while maintaining dimensional and shape stability. H&M Blacknitride+™ yields increased wear resistance, improved fatigue strength, better corrosion resistance, improved lubricity, and enhanced cosmetic appeal.
CMC Barrels™ AR15 Barrel Features:
• Optimal length gas systems for barrel lengths
• 1:7″ twist rate
• M4 feed ramps for reliability
• Air Gauged tested for consistency
