Comer, Ga. (January 2019) – MasterPiece Arms (MPA), manufacturers of the MPA BA Rifles and Chassis Systems, will unveil its new MPA BA Enhanced Sniper Rifle (ESR) Chassis in booth 2716 at SHOT Show 2019, to be held at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, Jan. 22 – 25, 2019. This is an enhanced version of MPA’s highly successful BA Chassis System and was designed as a submission for a recent military program, meeting the chassis specifications as required. The MPA BA ESR Chassis offers functionality in military, law enforcement and various competitive shooting applications.

The MPA BA ESR Chassis enhancements include M-Lok slots along the sides and bottom of the chassis forend, an enhanced night vision bridge option and an additional two inches of length to the forend. The chassis is machined on MPA’s CNC Horizontal Machining Centers to exacting tolerances from 6061 aluminum. The v-bedding system provides additional clearance for glass bedding action and straight section of the barrel, if desired. The chassis also includes a built-in inclinometer leveling system, machined thumb notch and V4 Spigot Mount (Picatinny Rail and Dovetail Plate built in). There are multiple QD sling swivel locations and the unique pocketing system reduces weight and increases structural integrity of the chassis. The MPA Buttstock comes with an adjustable cheek riser, length of pull and bag rider. The chassis also comes equipped with a two round holder.

This unique chassis system provides a super precision platform for the Remington 700 Short and Long, Savage and Howa Short or Long Actions, Tikka, Badger M2013, Mausingfield, Surgeon, Stillers and many others.

Fort Worth, TX (January 14, 2019) – XS® Sights is pleased to introduce its newest Big Dot® Shotgun Beads for home defense in tritium and non-tritium models.  These next generation sights for shotguns incorporate the company’s leading-edge glow technology to make them the brightest sights in any lighting conditions.

XS Big Dot Tritium shotgun sights are available in two versions – on a pedestal mount for Remington shotguns or in a plain-barrel model that fits Mossberg shotguns.  Both are available in Optic Yellow™ or Optic Orange™.  The patent-pending glow dot on this front sight absorbs light and glows in low light levels before it is dark enough to see the tritium.  A true advantage for any home-defense shotgun.

The new non-tritium Ember™ Big Dot Shotgun Beads are also available in both Remington and plain barrel models in Optic Yellow or Optic Orange.  XS Sights’ proprietary glow technology gives the non-tritium Ember Big Dot a significant performance advantage over fiber optic sights or brass beads in low light conditions, and its large size helps with faster target acquisition.

“The size and brightness of our new XS Big Dot Shotgun Beads allow the user to index the muzzle much faster, and this is critical in high-stress home defense situations when every second counts,” said Zack Kinsley, Marketing Manager for XS Sights.  “We incorporated our proprietary glow technology into these Big Dot Shotgun Beads to transform them into the brightest sights in any lighting condition.”

Optic Yellow is the best option for low light and has the brightest glow intensity.  Optic Orange is the best for bright light settings and offers high glow intensity.

Retail Pricing:

Big Dot Tritium Remington Shotgun, Bead on Pedestal (Optic Yellow or Orange)              $66.00

Big Dot Tritium Shotgun, Bead on Plain Barrel (Optic Yellow or Orange)                            $66.00

Big Dot Ember Remington Shotgun, Bead on Pedestal (Optic Yellow or Orange)               $39.00

Big Dot Ember, Bead on Plain Barrel (Optic Yellow or Orange)                                           $39.00

The new XS Big Dot Shotgun Beads are backed by a 10-year, No-Questions-Asked Warranty.
