Magpul Manufacturing PMAGs Outside of Colorado

Thursday, May 2nd, 2013

Making good on their promise to leave Colorado if the state adopted new laws restricting the rights of gun owners, Magpul posted a simple answer on their Facebook wall earlier this week to a rather rude inquiry by a “fan” who questioned their commitment to their cause.

Stating that PMAG production had already moved out of state, Magpul has yet to spill the beans on where they have moved but my money is on them federating production in several locations. While it may be more of a management challenge, in the long run it can lower risk of future gun legislation threatening the company.

In late April Magpul delayed the announcement of their move out of respect for the ongoing Boston Marathon bombing investigation.

Everyone Loves Instant Gratification – Thanks Ares Gear!

Thursday, May 2nd, 2013

It’s 2013, instant gratification is way of life, and many get more than a bit miffed if they can’t have their oompah-loompah now. Ares Gear listened and they’ve reinstated their instant gratification program with belts in stock and ready to ship.

Generally, Ares Gear builds custom belts, by size, color and option. Their mainstay is the trendsetting Ranger Belt with its Cobra buckle and second layer of webbing that not only offers a design accent but has practical application as well to stabilize loads carried on the belt. Often, their custom belts take a month or more to construct due to their popularity. The instant gratification program offers pre-made belts in standard sizing that are in-stock and ready to ship.

Nightforce Optics Announces First Ever Spotting Scope – TS-82 Xtreme

Thursday, May 2nd, 2013

Nightforce Optics, Inc, has announced its first-ever spotting scope, the TS-82™ Xtreme Hi-Def™ 20-70x.

20130502-090535.jpg

APO fluorite glass, used in only the most advanced optics, provides truer, more brilliant colors. The TS-82™ produces crisp, razor-sharp resolution with no distortion from edge to edge, and vivid, ultra-high-contrast images. An 82mm objective lens and distinctive internal prism design provides maximum light transmission, as opposed to mirrors which absorb critical light rays. The prism design is also easy on the eye, reducing eye fatigue; allowing for extended observing time.

Proprietary Nightforce lens coatings aid in contrast and brightness. A hydrophobic coating also immediately sheds water without leaving residue, and helps repel fingerprints and smudges.

One very cool feature is that the TS-82™ allows attachment of an iPhone 4 or 5 right out of the box, allowing high-resolution photos or videos. Available with either straight or angled design eyepieces, its aluminum body provides ruggedness and thermal stability, and the TS-82™ is thoroughly shock tested and waterproof. An optional wide-angle 30-60x eyepiece is also available.

“Our customers have asked for many years when we would introduce a spotting scope,” said Kyle Brown, director of sales and marketing for Nightforce. “The answer was, ‘at a time when we could produce a spotting scope equivalent in performance and quality to Nightforce riflescopes.’ That time is now.”

The TS-82™ Xtreme Hi-Def™ 20-70x spotting scope has an MSRP of roughly $2,600. For more information, visit www.NightforceOptics.com or call 208.476.9814.
