The Primal is a multi-purpose .46 caliber “Rifle Centric” suppressor that is optimized for cartridges like the .458 Socom, 45-70, 450 Bushmaster, yet versatile enough to be effective on sub-caliber handguns.

As a true multi-purpose suppressor, the Primal can accept the SD500 booster assembly making it usable as a handgun silencer and can be configured to mount with direct thread, KeyMo, Xeno, or 3-lug.

The Primal is constructed with 17-4 Stainless Steel for a high strength to weight ratio, low maintenance, and stress free experience.  The Primal body is coated with a high heat cerakote with a mount / endcap that have a Nitride treatment for lifelong durability.

“One challenge to creating a multi-purpose suppressor that does everything well, is the balance of weight, strength, and sound suppression.  We call the Primal “rifle centric” because the strength and weight balance is leaning towards rifle level performance but don’t hesitate to put this on your favorite pistol.  This thing will eat up anything you throw at it”

Meopta Introduces Optika5 2-10×42 PA Riflescope with Side Parallax Adjustment

Thursday, August 26th, 2021

TAMPA, FL, August 24, 2021 – Meopta Sport Optics is excited to introduce the new Optika5 2-10×42 PA riflescope with side parallax adjustment (PA) from 10 yards to infinity. This exceptionally versatile riflescope delivers razor-sharp image focus at close ranges – a feature rimfire and air rifle enthusiasts will appreciate – and gives hunters and target shooters the ability to dial in the focus at longer ranges. 

Engineered to withstand heavy recoil, this newest addition to the Optika5 series is also designed for superb performance on centerfire, muzzleloader, and slug guns – making it an excellent choice for hunting a variety of species from varmints to big game.  It can be used with the Strelok Pro ballistic app and is built tough enough to handle the extreme bi-directional recoil of spring-piston air rifles.

The Optika5 2-10×42 PA features a 1-inch main tube diameter, 5x zoom, zero-reset turrets, and advanced lens coatings for true color representation and unsurpassed low-light performance in its class. Meopta’s proprietary MeoBright lens coating delivers maximum light transmission per lens surface while suppressing reflection and glare, giving hunters and shooters the advantage of crisp images with optimal contrast.  Images are clear even in the rain thanks to Meopta’s MeoDrop hydrophobic lens coating which aggressively repels water and makes it easy to wipe off grease, skin oils, and dirt.

Capped hunting turrets are made of rubber-armored metal for the perfect combination of durability and functionality. The rear-facing magnification display allows for easy viewing of the power setting from behind the scope, and the zoom ring comes with a throw lever for quick adjustment of the power setting in the field or on the range. Windage and elevation adjustments are ¼ MOA.   Two second focal plane reticles are available – Z-Plex or Z-Plus.

The Optika5 series is also available in 2-10×42, 3-15×44, 4-20×44, 4-20×50, and 4-20×50 RD models.  Reticles options for the 4-20×50 RD with illuminated red dot in the center are Z-Plus RD or BDC 3 RD. 

All Optika5 scopes are made of aircraft-grade aluminum alloy and feature:

–  One-piece tube design
–  Zero-Reset turret for quick return to zero
–  Zoom ring with throw lever
–  Rear-facing zoom display for easy viewing of power setting from behind the scope
–  MeoBright anti-reflective lens coating
–  MeoShield anti-abrasion lens coating
–  MeoDrop hydrophobic lens coating that repels rain, dust, and grease

Like all Meopta optics sold in the United States, Optika5 riflescopes are backed by Meopta’s Lifetime Transferrable Warranty.

Thursday, August 26th, 2021

GARLAND, Texas, Aug. 26, 2021 // — Texas-based advanced manufacturing company True Velocity has announced their partnership with Virtus Ammo to act as the first licensed distributor of their composite-cased .308 WIN ammunition in a move that will bring the revolutionary rounds to store shelves and in the hands of discerning shooters.

Matador Arms Announces the Montgo-9 Monolithic Blowback 9mm Upper Receiver

Thursday, August 26th, 2021

Matador Arms has announced the Montgo-9: a monolithic blowback-operated billet 9mm upper receiver that does not require an AR15 type buffer and buffer tube. Instead, it uses a blowback system with an internal buffer reminiscent of the AR18 (q.v.).

Manufactured in the USA, the Montgo-9 is compatible with any AR-15 and/or AR-9 lower, providing shooters with endless build possibilities while being compact and versatile.

The current version of the Montgo-9 is the “K” version, featuring a 5.5” barrel threaded to 1/2×28”. The back cap shows that no buffer is required, allowing for many compact options. In addition, the non-reciprocating charging handle is reversible. The Montgo-9 has a total length integral Picatinny rail on top and a 3.5” bottom accessory rail.

The Montgo-9 upper receiver is made of aluminum, and the bolt and trunnion are 4140 steel for durability. Weight is 3.5lbs with an OAL of 12.125” and a 1.47” width.

The Montgo-9 adds to Matador’s 9mm product offering. Matador recently announced their AR-9 80% billet lower receivers, the first run of which is shipping mid-September. Matador already manufactures the Mag-X, a mag block adapter enabling the use of P320, Glock, M&P, and CZ-75 pistol mags in their AR-15 lowers.

Matador’s Sidewinder is a folding buffer tube adapter that will fold up anything with AR buffer tubes threads WITHOUT a moving buffer inside. And, the adjustable Regulator muzzle brake comes in 9mm, which could top off the Montgo-9 perfectly. That’ll make for a nice little “hideaway” PCC, unless you’re using a drum mag or larger styles of extendo.

The Montgo-9 was scheduled to be on display at this year’s NRA show in Houston at booth #4809…now, not so much.

The MSRP of the Montgo-9 is (as of this writing) $549.99.

Shipping of the Montgo-9 is projected for Q4 of this year. To learn more about the Montgo-9, visit www.matadorarms.com for information.
