Magnum Research® Introduces Exciting Animal Print Desert Eagles

Pomona, NY – In February of this year, Magnum Research introduced the first in a series of animal print Desert Eagles. Following in the success of the Cheetah print, which is now sold out, MRI is now introducing their latest two animal prints, the Kryptek Highlander and the Snakeskin, available in either .50 AE or .44 Mag.

“Our Desert Eagle in the Cheetah print was a huge success” stated Frank Harris, VP of Sales of Marketing. “We introduced it to our dealers early in the year, and it sold out very quickly shortly thereafter. It just proves that gun enthusiasts have a growing interest in something a little different from the norm to show off at the gun range.”

The two new designs, the Kryptek Highlander and the Snakeskin patterns utilize a water transfer method. It has been extensively tested for durability and has proven to be very tough; even cleaning solvents and acetone will not soften or damage the finish.

The Desert Eagle .50 AE is a gas-operated, semi-automatic pistol with a 7-round capacity in .50 AE and 8-round capacity in .44 Magnum. Both guns measure 10.75″ in length with a 6″ barrel. Slide width is 1.25″, height 6.25″ and the weight with an empty magazine is approximately 4 lbs. 5.8 oz. in .50 AE, and 4 lbs. 6.6 oz. in the .44 Mag. It has a trigger reach of 2.75″ and a sight radius of 8.5″ with the 6″ barrel. The construction of the Desert Eagle utilizes the latest CNC machine technology providing exacting specifications with tight tolerances creating a work of art in a precision firearm. The grip is anatomically formed and provides an ideal hand seating angle for two-handed shooting allowing for comfortable, rapid and accurate firing. The Weaver style accessory rail easily allows for aftermarket optics and scope rings. Read more

Big Horn Armory Beefs Up “Big Medicine”

More than 100 years ago on April 21, 1909 President Theodore Roosevelt began an 11-month safari in Africa. With him was a Winchester lever-action rifle chambered in .405 Winchester, and Roosevelt soon deemed it Big Medicine for animals that might bite back—lions in particular. The president knew that he needed a hard-hitting and fast-firing repeater to deal with animals with an attitude. It is no different today, but now we have a rifle that retains the reliability and fast-firing capabilities of Roosevelt’s famous Winchester chambered in a cartridge with even more attitude than the one the president used.

However, if Roosevelt was alive today, there’s a good chance he might have taken Big Horn Armory’s Model 89 rifle with him to the Dark Continent. Chambered for the bone-crushing .500 Smith & Wesson Magnum, this American-made rifle is tailor made for hunting big animals at moderate ranges. When fired from a 22-inch barreled Model 89, the .500 S&W Magnum has 10-percent more velocity than the .405 Winchester and 11-percent more energy. The Model 89 churns up some 38-percent more velocity and 45-percent more energy than the time-honored .45-70 Government factory load. Read more

Supreme Court Says Felons Don’t Lose the Right to Transfer Firearms to Dealers, Others

Syllabus

HENDERSON v. UNITED STATES CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR  THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT

No. 13–1487. Argued February 24, 2015—Decided May 18, 2015

After being charged with the felony offense of distributing marijuana, petitioner Tony Henderson was required as a condition of his bail to turn over firearms that he lawfully owned. Henderson ultimately pleaded guilty, and, as a felon, was prohibited under 18 U. S. C. §922(g) from possessing his (or any other) firearms. Henderson therefore asked the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which had custody of his firearms, to transfer them to his friend. But the agency refused to do so. Henderson then filed a motion in federal district court seeking to transfer his firearms, but the court denied the motion on the ground that Henderson’s requested transfer would give him constructive possession of the firearms in violation of §922(g). The Eleventh Circuit affirmed.

Held: A court-ordered transfer of a felon’s lawfully owned firearms from Government custody to a third party is not barred by §922(g) if the court is satisfied that the recipient will not give the felon control over the firearms, so that he could either use them or direct their use. Read more
