Magpul Releases Rail Sling Adapter

Friday, December 31st, 2010

First mentioned at last year’s SHOT Show, Magpul’s Rail Sling Adapter has finally hot the market. The RSA is the perfect accessory for those using Magpul’s unique MS2 and upcoming MS3 slings. In fact, the whole project came about to accommodate those slings. But hell, it’s pretty sweet for use with virtually any sling. The loop is larger than anything else out there and will accept large buckles/shackles.

The RSA is crafted from precision cast black manganese phosphatized steel, It is designed to attach to any Picatinny (MILSTD 1913) rail. What’s more, Magpul claims that the RSA has been proven to withstand stress tests of over 300 pounds. This is important as the RSA is intended to be mounted on the top rail. But still, it’s pretty impressive considering it weighs a scant 1.26 ounces. Of course, it’s Made in U.S.A.

Maverick HS12 “Tactical” Over/Under

Friday, December 31st, 2010

Mossberg knows how to make a great shotgun. Their products are widely used by military, law enforcement, and civilian sources for both personal defense and sport. But when they decide to alter one of their hunting shotguns and call it a tactical firearm? That may just be jumping the shark a little. On that note, I present to you The Maverick HS12 over/under.

Now, when we get right down to it, a ‘tactical’ firearm’s purpose is to perform well when engaging an enemy, and I’m not too sure an over/under shotgun has that capability. Sure it’s black, features a shortened barrel, and sports Picatinny rails (just a reminder: I am not describing an M4 carbine) but those particular characteristics don’t instantly equal tactical. In addition to this, one glaring flaw really holds the Maverick back: it features extractors and not ejectors, so when you pop the barrel to reload, you have to manually remove the spent shells, a time-consuming action that could cost you your life.

Maybe I’m being a little too judgmental since I’ve never actually tested the Maverick, but the idea isn’t a practical one. I’d rather get a 590A1 with a six round magazine tube (from the same company, no less) than a double-barrel shotgun any day of the week. Also, when you release a firearm that sounds more like a Nerf blaster than a self-defense tool, you deserve at least a little scrutiny.

Bolt Lift for Remington 700

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010

The KRG Bolt Lift is an oversize bolt knob for a Remington 700 bolt action rifle. While this kind of upgrade has become popular among the “tactical” long range precision crowd, the KRG solution is different, in that you can clamp it straight onto your factory bolt handle without paying a gunsmith 70 bucks to cut on your bolt and install a new knob. The idea originated for for military snipers since they cannot permanently modify their weapons but the benefit obviously extends to LE shooters as well as anyone with a 700 who wants a more positive purchase on their bolt lever.

Accu-Stack AI Comb Risers

Friday, December 17th, 2010

So I know, you’re asking yourself, “What’s a Comb Riser?” But, if you are asking that question, you probably don’t need one. The comb of the stock is

While the The AICS (Accuracy International Chassis System) is one of the most popular stocks for tactical shooters in the US and abroad, it is not used by just any shooter. Generally, it is reserved for use by precision shooters.

The AICS or AIAW doesn’t come with anything to support the comb if you need to raise it other than two hex screws, so sometimes it falls down, plus it looks empty under the comb. So Victor Company USA developed a multi-level spacer system that supports all AI cheek rests at almost any height. Available in two sizes, they actually look like AI OEM products.

Deuce Launcher from Sage Ordnance

Friday, December 17th, 2010

Sage Ordnance Systems Group will exhibit versions of their Deuce Launcher at SHOT Show 2011. Obviously, the biggest improvement that the Deuce offers is an over/under design with two rounds at the ready for that quick follow up shot.

The Standard Deuce package includes the launcher with barrel/caliber selection, barrel duo-block with an integral Picatinny Rail section, two barrel mounted Picatinny Rails, cleaning brush and operator’s manual. They will also have the Deuce Revolution on hand. Standard features are the same as Standard Deuce, but Sage has added a forward grip mount, sight rail, MagPul stock, sling and Pelican Case. Also included are their revolutionary new rear sight module, 20/40 sight module and 60/80 sight module. This sight set-up gives the Grenadier the ability to accurately launch munitions at four different distances most often encountered in less-lethal confrontations, without having to re-zero sights. The sight rail will also provide space to mount optics such as Aimpoints or EOTechs.

The Deuce Over/Under Launcher System is available in three caliber variants including 37mm Sage, 40mm x 46 NATO and 37mm smooth bore. Furthermore, the Deuce uses a five position adjustable length of pull-standard M4 style stock. Additionally, a side folding stock is available as an optional extra (either folding to the left or the right).

To sum up the Deuce … Two Shots! One Launcher!

To schedule a demo contact Sage Ordnance.
