SHOT Show 17 – SKELI X11
Wednesday, January 25th, 2017
Upon first glance, the SKELI X11 bears at least a passing resemblance to the earliest iterations of the Magpul Masada, and with its ambidextrous controls, gas piston operation, folding stock, and quick-change barrel system, it meets many of the design notes of the Masada as well. The X11 is a short stroke piston rifle weighing in at 6.8 lbs. unloaded, and features an aluminum frame, M-LOK forend, polymer grip, monolithic 1913 rail, and a 16″ 41V50 barrel with a 1:7 twist rate. Proposed quick-change barrel options include the standard 5.56, as well as .300 BLK, 6.8 SPC, and 6.5 Grendel. As a bonus, the X11 is designed to accept AR-15 trigger packs, giving purchasers a wide range of established trigger options if they pick one of these up.
As is implied in the image above, the X11 is compatible with STANAG magazines, and will ship with Lancer polymer mags.

The integrated laser sight is activated via a linked pressure switch, and provides users with either a red or green beam (separate models) to improve visual target indication.
The MOR can also be purchased with an IR laser, for laser use in a covert environment.
SHOT Show 17 – Tektite Industries Mag-Pump
Monday, January 23rd, 2017
Tektite’s Mag-Pump is a magazine loader for STANAG M4/AR-15 magazines, capable of loading both .223/5.56 and .300 BLK rounds. The hopper holds up to 60 rounds at a time, and the internal mechanism of the loader auto orients the rounds as they’re loaded so they go correctly into the magazine. Additionally, the Mag-Pump is quick to take down, and easily fits into a .50 cal ammo can for storage and transport.
Unfortunately, the clear polymer model seen above exists purely for demonstration purposes, and isn’t for sale.
