Christensen Arms Introduces Bolt-Action Rifle Chassis

Wednesday, August 28th, 2019

GUNNISON, Utah – (August 26, 2019) New for fall, Christensen Arms has announced the Modern Precision Rifle Chassis. It is the company’s first bolt-action rifle chassis. The Christensen Arms Modern Precision Rifle Chassis is the same ultra-lightweight adjustable system found on the Modern Precision Rifle offered as an individual component. Built in the USA with aerospace grade aluminum and carbon fiber elements—the chassis delivers effortless form and function—all while weighing less than 3 and a half pounds.

“Ever since we launched the Modern Precision Rifle, an independent chassis has been one of the most common requests we receive,” said Jason Christensen, President of Christensen Arms. “We’re pleased to expand the platform.”

The system is shipped assembled and includes a custom free-floating carbon fiber handguard with M-Lok™. The platform also features an adjustable carbon fiber comb and length of pull. The folding buttstock reduces the length of the chassis by 9 inches, allowing for more convenient storage and transportation. The MAGNELOCK™ technology is designed for ease of use, with a smooth release button and a powerful magnet instead of a cumbersome clasp. The chassis also features a standard AR-style grip.

The Modern Precision Rifle Chassis is offered in both Black and Desert Brown anodized finishes for a retail price of $1,095. Options include a short-action model with a 14 or 17 inch handguard and a long-action model with a 17 inch handguard. The new product is currently available for purchase on the Christensen Arms webstore.

Like all Perun holsters, this model is also compatible with slide-mounted red-dot optics. These units are in stock and shipping now. Retail price is $39.99. Order here: rcsgear.com/perun-owb-holster-sig-p-320f-m17-x5

Next is the Perun LC for the M17 with Streamlight TLR-1HL. This holster provides the same features as the standard Perun for those who need to carry this model of weapon-mounted light. These units are also in stock and shipping now. Retail price is $49.99.

Order here: rcsgear.com/perun-owb-holster-sig-p320-with-tlr-1hl

New Force on Force Training Magazine

Tuesday, August 27th, 2019

A U.S. Marine died late 2006 from a gunshot wound during an urban combat training accident. The Marine responsible was an experienced, well-trained Sergeant. The next day all of Camp Pendleton was briefed about the incident. This brief however, did not solve the design flaw that allowed live ammunition to become commingled with blank ammunition.

The Army and Marines have lost approximately 10 Service Members from negligent discharges since 2002, one just recently at Fort Polk last October, and hundreds more have been injured. This begged the question, “Why is there not a separate magazine for non-lethal ammunition for when Soldiers train?” That is where the Safe Tactical Magazine idea was born and is what drives SafeTacMag, LLC today.

SafeTacMag, LLC has now developed an innovative, yet simple, M16/M4 5.56 Blue Force on Force Training Magazine designed specifically to protect lives, prevent injuries, and save the government hundreds of millions of dollars by preventing accidental discharges of live ammunition during military and police force on force training exercises. Unlike conventional magazines, which accept both live and force on force ammunition interchangeably, SafeTacMag’s unique and patented training magazine is specifically designed for non-lethal rounds, thereby preventing accidental and negligent discharges of live ammunition.

New and Improved Pictinny Rail Gripstop from True North Concepts

Tuesday, August 27th, 2019

Since its release in 2013, the Gripstop has gone through a series of improvements and design changes based off user feed back. True North Concepts has taken the opportunity to fine tune these changes for the re-release of their Picatinny rail mounted variant. As the firearms industry has moved away from the 1913 Picatinny mounting interface, it still remains the standard throughout the U.S. Military and most allied nations. The majority of issued weapons are already bulky and heavy, and TNC wished to reduce the weight of the Gripstop while improving performance. The result is the lightest, strongest Picatinny variant ever built. This new Gripstop weights just 1.7 ounces, and is built from 6061 T6 aluminum for maximum durability. It is currently available in both Earth Brown and Black colored Milspec Type 3 hardcoat anodized finishes. The included mounting hardware is built from tool grade steel, and is black nitride finished for maximum corrosion resistance. After years of feedback from the field the design now features a specialty flat-head, flush fit mounting screw, allowing any common screwdriver or multitool to be used for mounting and maintenance. The Picatinny rail Gripstop carries the same lifetime “No questions asked” replacement warranty as the rest of the Gripstop family, and is available now on the True North Concepts website.

ZEV Technologies Releases Compact Version of the O.Z-9

Monday, August 26th, 2019

Offering the same modular innovation introduced with the Standard-size O.Z-9, the scaled-down O.Z-9 Compact blurs the line between personal defense, concealed carry and a duty pistol without sacrificing any features. Better balance, less felt recoil, more control, faster target acquisition, and flatter shooting are all noticeable advantages of the full-length internal steel receiver. Other key features include an improved grip angle and ergonomics, extended beavertail, the enhanced grip texture, and single pin take-down modularity.

“The OZ9 Compact is the epidemy of modularity. I always envisioned being able to have one gun that would do anything with endless options. The Standard OZ9 was just the first step, and the Compact is the next. With this platform we will be releasing new grips, slides, and accessories that allow the end-user the ability to customize the gun to better fit their needs.” said Alec Wolf, Founder and CTO ZEV Technologies.

“If you are familiar with the O.Z-9, then you are going to love the Compact O.Z-9. It offers the same full-size modularity of O.Z-9, just in a smaller, more concealable version.” said Dave Roberts, V.P. of Marketing.
