HAMPDEN, MAINE / AGILITYPR.NEWS / April 18, 2025 / Hydra Weaponry, Maine’s largest firearms employer, designer, and manufacturer of the truly modular MARCK-15 Hydra® Weapon System, will be exhibiting at the 154^th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits, taking place April 24 – 27, 2025, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Attendees are invited to visit Exhibit Hall – Building B, Booth 4279, to get hands-on with Hydra Weaponry’s innovative firearms systems, including the highly anticipated Hydra 10 in 8.6 Blackout. Hydra Weaponry will also be offering an exclusive show special of 20 percent off storewide at www.hydraweaponry.com during the show, valid now through April 27, 2025, using code NRA (excludes the BMP-23).

Built on the renowned MARCK-10 Hydra Modular Weapon System platform, the new Hydra 10 in 8.6 Blackout offers a powerful, quick-change barrel design and SR-25 magazine compatibility, delivering a true multi-caliber AR-10 experience. It’s an ideal setup for hunters and shooters looking for a heavy-hitting, adaptable rifle capable of switching calibers with minimal effort. Simply swap the barrel, bolt, and magazine well as needed.

“The NRA Annual Meetings are an outstanding opportunity for us to connect with our customers and fellow firearm enthusiasts,” said Mack Gwinn III, CEO of Hydra Weaponry. “We are proud to showcase the latest evolution of the Hydra Modular Weapon System, including the all-new Hydra 10 in 8.6 Blackout, and demonstrate why Hydra remains the go-to for shooters who demand versatility, performance, and true modularity.”

In addition to the new Hydra 10 in 8.6 Blackout, Hydra Weaponry will also showcase a range of its popular modular systems, including the Hydra 10 in .308 and 6.5 Creedmoor, and the Hydra Vipera pistol in 10mm – a compact yet formidable platform built around the Hydra’s quick-change barrel upper receiver and modular lower, running on Glock-style magazines. The Hydra MARCK-15 series will also be featured, with configurations ranging from 5.56 NATO and 7.62x39 AK to .30 Caliber Carbine and even an M3 Grease Gun setup in .45 ACP. For those seeking the ultimate in modularity, the Hydra 15 Multi-Caliber Kit will be on display, offering multiple mag wells and caliber options in a single adaptable system.

A fan favorite, the BMP-23 pistol, a modern revival of the classic Bushmaster Arm Pistol from the early ‘70s, will also be available for attendees to handle. Chambered in 5.56 with an 11.5-inch barrel, AK-style gas piston operating system, and built-in iron sights, this compact, 5.2 lb. pistol offers a distinctive blend of nostalgia and modern engineering.

The 154^th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits will feature over 14 acres of guns and gear from the most popular brands in the firearms industry, alongside seminars, celebrity appearances, and special events.
