XTech Tactical Joins Front Lines with Commufornia Special

Thursday, February 28th, 2019

February 28th, 2019 – Mesa, AZ
XTech Tactical, a rapidly growing innovative firearms accessory manufacture, is now shipping its MAG47 10/30 (MSRP $29.95) as its introduction of the “Commufornia Special” magazine line. The MAG47, which has widely been established as the greatest US Made AK Magazine, is now available for those in states that currently do not permit standard capacity magazines.

The MAG47 10/30, just like the MAG47 features:

-Stainless steel reinforced feed lips and locking lugs
-Stainless steel spring
-Tool free disassembly and reassembly
-Industry leading polymer
-Waffle and tread pattern to ease in extraction and insertion
-Counts as 3 922r components
-MADE IN USA

The MAG47 10/30 will not function if its blocker is removed due to its reduced spring, and the magazine is only marked as a 10-round magazine. Rebuild kits will be available from the company should users relocate to free states or their local laws change to permit standard capacity magazines.

The company will donate $1 per “Commufornia Special” magazine from its website for the life of the “Commufornia Special” line. This donation will go towards efforts that protect the inherent Constitutional rights of all Americans. XTech Tactical has selected Gun Owners of America (GOA) as the recipient of this donation. The magazines will also ship with a $5 off annual membership offer to Gun Owners of America.

“XTech Tactical has historically chosen to not consider producing any state compliant products. Our rational has been that such products quiet those in restrictive states. We hope that the message of the “Commufornia Special” line will unify, educate, and assist those in restrictive states to fight for the rights of all Americans. This is our way of joining the front line of the fight! We are excited to work with the team at Gun Owners of America and encourage other manufactures to consider similar partnerships with organizations fighting to retain our rights”, stated Jeremy Deadman, XTech Tactical’s Director of Sales and Marketing.

Dealers can contact dealers@xtechtactical.com or contact Zanders Sporting Goods.

TangoDown – AKOE BATTLE-GRIP

Wednesday, February 27th, 2019

TangoDown® Inc is pleased to announce the addition of the BG-AKOE BATTLEGRIP®. After releasing the BG-AK in late 2018, we wanted to offer a variant for those who are NOT seeking a storage compartment for their AK grip. The BG-AKOE is made of the same durable material as our entire BATTLEGRIP® line and offers similar TD Inc signature features: comfortable ergonomic design and aggressive non-slip texture.

A quick summary of the BG-AK and BG-AKOE history – Several years ago, we designed and manufactured the AK rifle grip for an Arizona start-up company. When they closed-up shop, we received a huge number of requests for the grip, as it was known to be based on our successful BG-16 AR-15 product. As the creators of the AK grip, we made the decision to produce the original grip, from the original designers, and from the original molds.

To learn more about the TangoDown® BG-AKOE grip, visit tangodown.com/bg-akoe-battlegrip

Fits all true AK-pattern rifles.

Color Availability: Black

MSRP: $18.95
