Mossberg MVP Patrol in 300 AAC Blackout

NORTH HAVEN, CT – O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc., is expanding their MVP Patrol bolt-action rifle series with a 300 AAC Blackout (300 BLK) offering. Joining the 5.56mm NATO/223 Rem and 7.62mm NATO/308 Win chamberings, this series of multi-purpose MVP rifles is a great choice for target shooting, hunting, home defense and plinking; all with the convenience of AR-magazine compatibility.

Innovation is at the core of MVP Patrol rifles with their patented designs that accept and reliably-feed from both AR15-style magazines (300 BLK/5.56mm) and M1A/M14 and AR10-style magazines (7.62mm). Performance-driven features of this series include 16.25-inch medium bull, button-rifled and threaded barrel with A2-style muzzle brake (protective thread cap included); pillar-bedded stock; over-sized bolt handle; Mossberg’s LBA Trigger System that is user-adjustable from 3 to 7 pounds; optimal twist rates for bullet stabilization; factory-mounted Picatinny rail; and front fiber optic and rear barrel-mounted, adjustable rifle sight. Completing the MVP Patrol package are a textured, black synthetic stock, featuring stippling on the pistol grip; matte blue finish on exposed metalwork; fluted bolt; sling swivel studs; and ten-round capacity magazine.

Designed to be a versatile, all-purpose platform, the MVP Patrol 300 BLK is a great choice at the range or in the field, delivering greater penetration, better terminal performance and a wider choice of bullet types (30 caliber) than the 5.56mm NATO/223 Rem. Its superior ballistics make this intermediate rifle cartridge effective for mid to large-sized game including deer, hog and black bear. Read more

Hornady Security Introduces RAPiD Vehicle Safe

Grand Island, NE – The RAPiD® Vehicle Safe keeps a handgun or other valuables safe and secure inside any vehicle. The patent-pending mounting system of the RAPiD Vehicle Safe features an inflatable bladder that conforms to a vehicle interior’s shape. It makes the RAPiD Vehicle Safe’s installation quick and easy without any vehicle modifications.

In a perfect world, good people can carry their guns anywhere for personal protection. But it’s not a perfect world, and there are places where firearms can’t come along. Securing a weapon inside the vehicle becomes the only option. Sadly, a vehicle by itself is not secure – a breakable window is all that stands between thieves and the valuable contents!

Hornady Security, leaders in safe technology, solved this vehicle vulnerability with their innovative RAPiD® Vehicle Safe. The feature-rich safe is engineered for maximum security and peace of mind, while its discreet appearance blends seamlessly into the vehicle’s interior. The RAPiD® Vehicle Safe thwarts both opportunistic and targeted attacks, keeping unattended guns and valuables secure.

Preventing unauthorized access to any safe is a top priority. The Hornady Security Vehicle Safe exceeds ASTM International safety standards for child and pry resistance, lock strength, drop/pick/saw tests and high-attack resistance.

In an emergency, the Vehicle Safe’s RFID-activated spring-assist lid opens instantly using an RFID watchband, key fob or sticker, providing quick access to a firearm. The safe recognizes up to five programmed RFID tags, giving shared access to others or backup entry options. At the same time, its keypad further boosts the safe’s secondary access options with a four- to six-digit security code. A barrel key provides a failsafe way of entry in the event of a power loss.

Sound Suppressor: Taming Big Bore Blast

By Glen Wunderlich

Charter Member Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA)

Exactly 10 years ago, then Michigan Attorney General, Bill Schuette, concluded that State law allowed the use of noise suppressors for firearms by private citizens, when authorized by the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.  Said Schuette, “Michigan citizens who comply with federal firearm regulations can use suppressors to protect their hearing and minimize noise disruptions in the surrounding areas.”   Following the issuance of his opinion, suppressors became legal for hunting, as well.

A few years ago, as I sat on stand deer hunting with my extra-noisy, ported Ruger American rifle chambered in .450 Bushmaster, I spotted a good buck and squeezed the trigger.  As a result, my ears have continued to ring 24 hours a day ever since.

It wasn’t as though I didn’t know better; in fact, I had my hearing protection in place for hours.  However, being a wearer of eye glasses, the clamping effect of my ear protection over the frame of the glasses, became a source of irritation.  Subsequently I relieved the pressure by removing them thinking I’d snap them in place, if needed.  Duh!

The sight of the buck made me forget all about my plan to protect my hearing and I’ve paid the price ever since and probably will for the remainder of my life.  My solution was to someday purchase a sound suppressor for that behemoth of a game-getter.  Finally, that day has come – at least the purchasing part.

I checked a familiar online retail outlet, Silencerco, for suppressor models that would fit the bill, but couldn’t formulate an opinion as to the best choice for my needs.  Off I went to Williams Gun Sight Company in Davison – a distributor of Silencerco suppressors – for personal assistance.

After waiting in line for a half hour (yes, it was that busy), an experienced employee showed me a Hybrid 46 suppressor that he bought, because it could be used in conjunction with myriad calibers.   I didn’t even know that using the same suppressor on different firearms was legal; all it takes is switching the end cap to match the caliber.  I was in!

To purchase a silencer the following qualifications apply:

  • Reside in one of the 42 states that currently allow civilian ownership
  • Be a resident of the United States
  • Be legally eligible to purchase a firearm
  • Pass a BATFE background check
  • Be at least 21 years of age to purchase from a dealer
  • Be at least 18 years of age to purchase from another citizen

 

Stepping to the Silencerco kiosk in the store, the process began with answering questions that coincide with the same questions when purchasing a firearm.  Fingerprints were taken on the screen of the kiosk and within the hour, the process was complete.

The next step was to pay for the suppressor and the particular end cap needed for the Ruger rifle.  Following that, the suppressor was put back into the box, where it would be stored by Williams Gun Sight for the next six to nine months, as the U.S. government does whatever it does with my application.  Oh, yes, the cost?  Let’s just say it was three times the cost of the firearm, including the $200 federal tax extracted from me. 

It may be a heavy price to pay but so is hearing loss.

Some models have the extra-large capacity required to store extensive gun collections yet still boast the flexibility to move it anywhere. That’s the SnapSafe modular safe advantage! Read more

ATF Comment Period Closing on Stabilizing Brace Rule, SAF Offers Strategy

BELLEVUE, WA – As the Sept. 8 deadline looms for public comment on the proposed rule change regarding handgun stabilizing arm braces, the Second Amendment Foundation has launched an ambitious effort to encourage and guide gun owners to submit comments to the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Read SAF’s comments here.

“Time is running out and we want to provide millions of targeted gun owners the means to weigh in on this alarming proposal,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “ATF wants to reclassify millions of stabilizing brace-equipped pistols by making them subject to the National Firearms Act. If that happens, current owners of such pistols would need to register their guns and pay a $200 tax on each one, or turn it in to the ATF, or take one of several other undesirable options.” Read more
