Tactilite T2 by Zel Custom Manufacturing

Zel Custom Introduces Magazine-Fed .50 BMG Upper Receiver for AR-15s

Zel Custom Manufacturing introduces the Tactilite T2, a magazine-fed, bolt-action .50 BMG conversion for AR-15 style rifles. The T2 utilizes a side-mounted magazine design (similar to a Sten gun) on Zel Custom’s unique steel billet upper receiver. As a “firearms accessory”, the Tactilite T2 .50 BMG conversion kit requires no special paperwork, background check or waiting period.

“The T2 was developed in response to law enforcement feedback to our single-shot T1,” said Michael Brendzel, president of Zel Custom Manufacturing. “However, consumer demand has already exceeded expectations.”

Stage Arms Release:

Straight from the Stag Arms vault, and once reserved exclusively for Law Enforcement, Military, and Special Forces – the highly anticipated SBR uppers will now be available to the general public in a wide range of configurations to best suit consumer needs. All SBR uppers boast a 5.56 NATO chamber, 1/7 twist rifling, M4 feed ramps, and a MP tested and marked bolt and will ship complete with bolt carrier assembly and charging handle. Individualized options include the choice of a 11.5″ Delta profile heavy barrel or a 14.5″ Delta profile heavy barrel with M203 cuts – both of which are chrome lined 4150 steel. The 14.5″ barrel models are also available with a fixed flash hider bringing the barrel length to 16″ and do not require NFA paperwork.

Consumers can further customize their upper by selecting a specific rear sight and opting for either double heatshield handguards or Samson Star-C quad rail handguards.

For the first time ever, consumers can now share in the SBR experience. All SBR uppers are exposed to a battery of torture tests and are factory test fired and zeroed. Built to exacting mil specs and built to last they are competitively priced.

Say Uncle reviews it for ShootingIllustrated.com

Another one of the cool things I checked out at the SHOT Show was the new full-length version of Mesa Tactical’s Saddle Rail with SureShell carrier:

Mesa Tactical Full Length Saddle Rail for Remington 870

Available with or without 4, 6, or 8-shell carrier. It can clamp on either the barrel or onto a standard factory magazine extension.

Even with the 6 shell carrier, it was surprisingly light.

I’m still on the road and posting will continue to be light for another couple of days, but in the meantime here’s one of the cool things I checked out at SHOT last week:

Integrated Grip Rail System (IGRS) by Grauer Systems

It is made up of a unit covering the magazine well and a forearm rail system. It not only provides a better surface for those who use the “magazine hold,” it keeps them from putting pressure on the magazine itself. With so many AR malfunctions related to the magazine, this can only be a good thing.

Also, the unit features a “funnel” to make magazine changes quicker and more reliable, allowing the shooter to keep eyes on target.

The rail system incorporates a wire management system for rail attachments such as lights and lasers.

For more see the Grauer Systems website.

With all the 870s out there which are used for everything from competition to hunting and even tactical applications, I knew the demand for a drop-in, creep-free, adjustable 870 trigger would be well received.

Go read the whole thing.

…doesn’t mean you SHOULD.

Hilarious. Via Uncle.

Yesterday I pointed out the Talon Thumbhole Stock for shotguns by Knoxx. Today it’s the Axiom TH Thumbhole Rifle Stock:

Axiom TH Thumbhole Rifle Stock

For a customizable fit, the stock comes with interchangeable rubber grip inserts that adjust the overall size of the pistol grip. The barrel channel is a full-float that will fit any barrel diameter. Aluminum pillars provide added stability and strength. The unique design of the stock cuts muzzle rise and the traditional comb design is made for comfort and consistent target acquisition. The precision receiver is compatible with bi-pods. A 14-cubic inch rear storage compartment is conveniently located in the butt of the stock for small items. The Axiom TH Thumbhole Rifle Stock is available in black polymer or universal camo for the Remington 700 BDL – short and long action, and the Howa 1500/Weatherby Vanguard BDL for short and long action. MSRP for the black polymer is $269.99 and $299.99 for the universal camo.

We shot a .300 Win Mag bolt-action with the adjustable Axiom stock, but those who prefer full fixed stocks will like this new thumbhole model.
