Ruger Safety Bulletin: LCP MAX Manual Safety Models

Ruger has discovered that in some LCP MAX Manual Safety models, the recess that retains the safety lever detent spring may not be machined properly. When this condition is present, the safety lever detent spring can become dislodged under the recoil of firing. If this happens, the manual safety lever will have no resistance and will not remain in the “safe” position. If present, the condition typically will emerge after firing 50-100 rounds through the pistol and the condition will be readily apparent when attempting normal operation.

Note that if this condition occurs, the other safety mechanisms in your pistol, including the trigger safety, are not affected and will still function properly.

Ruger is committed to safety and is warning consumers of the potential for this condition to occur. If you experience the condition described above, please stop using your pistol immediately and arrange for its retrofit by providing your serial number and contact information using the form at Ruger.com/LCPMAXRetrofit.

Benjamin Marauder Gen 3 Sets Standards for PCP Airguns

Benjamin is well known for manufacturing top-quality airguns that produce the velocity and accuracy shooters and hunters demand, and that reputation fueled the nearly total redesign for the much-anticipated third generation of the Marauder Gen 3 PCP Air Rifle. This multi-shot, bolt action air rifle has been tweaked from muzzle to butt to produce more power, refined adjustability and precise focused performance.

The Benjamin Marauder Gen 3 is available in two calibers, .22 and .25. The .22 caliber produces a velocity of up to 1,200 feet per second with 50 foot pounds of energy. The .25 caliber sends the pellet downrange at up to 1,150 feet per second with 80 foot pounds of energy. The adjustable regulator maintains consistent pressure delivery for deadly accuracy.

The cocking effort has been lightened by 32 percent over Gen 2 models. It now only takes approximately 15 pounds of force to ready the rifle. The stock is all-weather with an adjustable cheek piece, and the barrel features integrated sound suppression. The reservoir is 500cc, 3625PSI (250 BAR).

With deadly accuracy, rugged quality and an exceptionally powerful shot, the Benjamin Marauder makes each of your hunts or target shooting session one for the books.
