Mesa, AZ- XTech Tactical, LLC an innovative firearms accessory manufacturer brings the MAG47© to market. In April of 2017 a prior manufacturer closed its doors which led to the opportunity that came available in August of 2017 for the magazine redevelopment to begin.

The features include: exotic state of the art polymer composition, increased strength, a 17-7 stainless spring, 100% stainless steel reinforced feed lips, tool free assembly and disassembly, and updated lug geometry to optimize fit across the spectrum of AK style weapons.

The testing protocol was extensive, totally over 20,000 rounds without any magazine related failures. The protocol also included hundreds of drops, exposures to chemicals, climates, and abuse. The objective of the company was to not only make a strong consumer product, but to raise the bar for US polymer rifle magazines. “We had a very personal mission in this program to represent our country in making a product that not only was desirable to consumers, but shows the world that the US can produce an AK magazine in line with the greatest AK magazines ever made from countries like Bulgaria and Russia.” stated Jeremy Deadman, Director of Sales and Marketing. The XTech Tactical team worked closely with an Arizona based foreign weapons trainer, former law enforcement officer and AK enthusiast, Tom Cornelius. Deadman stated, “Tom was instrumental in every step of the MAG47© becoming what it is today. We are very excited to partner with Tom and look forward to working with him on this and future programs.”

Check Out the Raptor-SL and Meet Garand Thumb at Radian Weapons, TRIGGRcon 2018!

Saturday, July 28th, 2018

Radian Weapons is pleased to announce that not only will its new Raptor-SL™ be present at the Radian booth during TRIGGRcon 2018 in Bellevue, WA, so too will Garand Thumb. Find the latter fellow at our Booth, #408, from 10-12 tomorrow, Saturday July 28th.

Based on the long-proven Raptor™ Ambidextrous Charging Handle series, the recently released Raptor-SL™ is a sleeker version of its predecessors with a lower profile. The anti-snag design, with slim line handles and less obtrusive “ears”, minimizes risk of catching the charging handle on “heavy armor”, plate carrier accouterments, or other LBE.

Or your beard, if you’re rocking the ZZ Top, scary-murder-hobo look.

Whether you manipulate the Raptor-SL™ with a bladed palm or charge the weapon finger and thumb style, the motion will be as fluid as it is fast whether from the strong or support side.

The Raptor-SL™ is Made in the USA from aircraft grade 7075 aluminum and MilSpec anodized. Those who occasionally want to switch things up will be happy to know the “ears” can be switched out easily, with a punch and roll pin.

Learn more by connecting with Radian on social, @radianweapons on Instagram, @radianweapons on Twitter, and on Facebook, /RadianWeapons/. Or, you could just go straight to the Radian Arms Raptor SL product page and buy one. That would probably be best (and you’ll thank yourself later).
