Arcane Concerted Opens Preorder for Second Round of LowPro Rail Attachments

Saturday, January 14th, 2023

IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich. – (January 13, 2023) Arcane Concerted is excited to announce the much anticipated second release of their LowPro Rail Attachments, now open for preorder.

The LowPro Rail Attachment is a simple, yet elegant, design made to bring multiple functions to market in one small package. On one side, you’ll find a traditional 4-position QD mount compatible with any reputable male QD sling attachment currently available. On the other side, it features an even more functional loop to be used in conjunction with Arcane’s flagship product ArcBands, a reusable retainer band primarily used for cable and sling management. Additional uses for the alternate side of the LowPro Rail attachment include securing sensitive items, as well as playing host to numerous other sling hooks and attachment methods.

“I wanted something with a small footprint that I could still use in conjunction with our ArcBands. I wanted the attachment to be functional and versatile, and the engineer team crushed our goal and even made it look nice. Several revisions and 3-D printed models later, here we are.” said Charlie, owner of Arcane Concerted.

Preorder begins January 13 at 4:00 p.m. CSTl. Orders will begin shipping roughly 6-8 weeks after preorders open.

The rail attachments are made using MIM grade 17-4PH stainless steel powder, high temperature sintering, and a heat treatment process resulting in a hardness of >HRC 34. The LowPro Rail Attachments are coated in QPQ (black) and PVD (FDE).

“We noticed a lot of people using zip ties to attach our ArcBands to their rail systems. This caused more wear on a product we developed specifically to take more of a beating and last long enough for our customers to get a lot of value from it. We wanted to make something that could clip on the rifle to prevent losing bands at the range or on duty; which unfortunately wasn’t very economical. We went back to the drawing board to bring something to the table that offered better value and cost to our end users. Now we have a product that can not only handle the initial intention, but offers multiple other functions for end users as well.”

The LowPro Rail Attachment is designed, manufactured, and coated in the USA and is available to purchase through the Arcane Concerted website. Retailers and distributors interested in carrying Arcane Concerted products can reach out to themanager@arcaneconcerted.com for more information.

APEX Ammunition to Exhibit at SHOT Show

Saturday, January 14th, 2023

Columbus, Miss. (January 9, 2023) – APEX Ammunition, makers of handloaded, ultra-high-density Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) shotshells, will showcase its comprehensive line of shotgun ammunition at the 2023 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, January 17-20 (Booth # 71104).

APEX pioneered the commercial use of 18.1 g/cc density TSS in 2017 and today makes premium shotshells for Waterfowl, Turkey, Upland, Predator, and Deer hunting that are sought after by hunters who value superior performance.

Waterfowl

APEX Waterfowl TSS shotshells are meticulously handloaded for ultimate knockdown power. The TSS/S3 Steel™ Blend duplex loads feature No. 7.5 or 9 TSS combined with No. 2, 4 or BB S3 Steel shot in 12-gauge and No. 4 shot in 20 gauge. The new Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Habitat Blend combines No. 8 TSS with No. 3 S3 Steel for a devastating 12-gauge goose and duck load. APEX S3 Steel™ line features premium-grade zinc-coated steel and the same Tungsten-grade wad system used in the APEX TSS loads for superior patterning and consistency. Select dealers are now offering the limited-edition APEX Flight Bag of five boxes (25 rounds per box) of S3 Steel loads.

28-gauge, 16-gauge, and .410 bore waterfowl loads are available upon request online through APEX’s Small Batch custom program.

Turkey

APEX’s legendary Turkey TSS offerings bring a new level of performance to sub-gauge shotguns. Now available in 20-gauge No. 9s, 28-gauge (No. 9 and 9 ½) and .410 bore (No. 9 ½), APEX Turkey TSS shotshells are designed for maximum penetration at extended ranges. Handloaded for ultimate consistency and quality control, APEX TSS allows the use of smaller shot sizes and larger payloads for maximum pattern density and downrange energy. Also available in 10-gauge, 12-gauge and 16-gauge loads.

APEX also offers Smalltown Hunting Blend loads which feature a combination of No. 7 1/2 and No. 9 shot TSS as well as Ninja Turkey TSS loads.

Upland

APEX Upland Bird TSS will help you put more wild birds in hand whether you’re hunting grouse, Huns, quail, or late-season roosters. Available in 3-inch 12-and 20-gauge loads. Upland Bird 3-inch 16-gauge, 2 ¾-inch 28-gauge, and .410 bore 2 ½ and 3-inch loads are available upon request.

Predator

Over the years, shotshells for predator hunting have typically meant massive lead pellets and low pattern count leading to limited performance. APEX Predator TSS, offered in shot sizes 4, 2 and BB, capitalizes on superior density to deliver extended range and penetration while maximizing pattern retention for ultimate knockdown power on coyotes, hogs and deer.

The 2023 APEX Ammunition Catalog is now available online.
