UTG’s New Keymod Compatible Sling Swivel Adaptors: The Best of Both Worlds

Leapers UTG has released two brand new sling swivel adapters to go hand in hand with their critically acclaimed high quality rail systems. The TL-SWPK01 is a unit designed for multi rail applications, and can easily be converted to fit Mil- STD -1913 rails as well as the increasingly popular Keymod system. In its base configuration, the adapter securely attaches to standard Picatinny rails via its robust low profile mounting deck that uses a Torx drive locking screw for ultimate stability. The adapter can then receive standard 0.37″ sling swivels and hold them securely in place. The top section of the adapter, which is also available separately (TL-SWKM01), can be removed and mounted directly to a Keymod rail which is what makes this design truly stand out. Changing rails from Picatinny to Keymod or mounting your sling on a different rifle will no longer require buying new accessories for each application. Read more

Howa Introduces Mini Action, Short Action Rifles

Gene Lumsden, CEO of Legacy Sports International, Inc., is excited to announce the newest innovation from Howa Rifles, the new Howa Mini Action! Currently available in .204 and .223 calibers, other short action chamberings will be offered at a later time. The chamber and bolt of the new Mini Action are significantly shorter (approx. 12%) than regular short actions. This feature produces a shorter bolt throw for faster reloads and less weight for the overall gun. In fact, this rifle without scope weighs just over 5.5 lbs. It also comes with 20″ drawn barrel, three position safety and HACT two-stage trigger. A drawn barrel produces better accuracy than a forged barrel, because they are not extruded and stretched, and do not begin with billet stock. Rather, they begin as extrusion tubes that are swaged, drawn and then roll leveled before cutting. Drawn barrels are also heat treated. This method produces less stress on the metallurgy and leads to a straighter barrel, producing better accuracy.

The Howa Mini Action Rifles are factory equipped with ten round, synthetic, detachable magazines and utilize a lightweight composition stock, which also reduces weight. Scope packages are also available with the Howa Mini Action rifles, using the new, Nikko Stirling Panamax rifle scope. The Nikko Stirling Panamax scopes offer 20% greater field-of-view than average 1 inch scopes, and come with a half Mil Dot reticle with dual color red/green illuminated reticle and a lifetime warranty, among other great features.

Howa Mini Action rifles are available high tech stocks in OD Green, Black or camo dipped in Kryptek Highlander with lightweight, standard and heavy barrel options. Lightweight and heavy barrels measure 20 inches, and standard barrels are 22 inches in length. Lightweight barrels are a #1 contour, Heavy barrels are a #6 contour and Standard barrels are a #2 hunting contour. MSRP ranges from $608 to $782 depending on barrel and scope package option.

Concealed Pistol Protocol

This from Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Owners

Q: I know that I have to disclose that I am armed if I am stopped by a police officer while I am carrying my pistol. What if I get pulled over but I am not carrying? Should I mention my CPL at all?

 


A: First, remember that you are in possession of your pistol and therefore “carrying” if it is in the passenger compartment and accessible. Your gun is considered not accessible when it is unloaded in chamber and magazine and in a locked trunk, or locked in a case with no ammo in the case if your vehicle does not have a trunk. Law enforcement information systems contain the information that you are a CPL holder. So, when you are pulled over, the officer knows that you have a Concealed Pistol License. I recommend that even if you are not carrying, you discuss the matter with the officer right up front. Simply say something like: “Officer, before we go any further, let me say that I have a Concealed Pistol License but I am not carrying today.”
