BELLEVUE, WA – New legislation mandating so-called “authorized user” technology on handguns is nothing more than a re-packaged “smart gun” scheme, and it’s a stupid idea that should be dead-on-arrival on Capitol Hill, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.
The “Handgun Trigger Safety Act of 2015” was announced yesterday by Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY). It would require that within five years of passage, all handguns manufactured in the United States include “smart gun” technology that allows them to be used only by “authorized’ users. “This is like listening to a broken jukebox, playing the same song over and over again,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “This is nothing more than backdoor handgun ban, but this time Maloney and Markey are dropping it on the front porch. They know that reliable technology doesn’t exist.” Read more
MITCHELL, S.D. – Boyds has recently released an adjustable comb feature for many of their popular hardwood replacement gunstock designs. This new feature enables you to adjust the cheek piece of your stock to provide a better fit to your body. It also provides a more proper alignment between your eye and the firearm’s sights, which improves the accuracy of your shot. An adjustable comb is now available for Boyds Classic, Prairie Hunter, Platinum, Heritage, and Pro Varmint designs.
Boyds new adjustable comb allows approximately ½” of vertical adjustment of comb height. The adjustment is easy to make and is controlled by loosening and tightening two 5/32″ allen screws, accessible through the top of the comb. Shooters can loosen the locking screws and move the comb to their desired height and then tighten the locking screws to hold the comb in place.
All of Boyds’ adjustable comb gunstock options come standard with a 5/32″ allen wrench for quick and easy adjustment. To provide rust and corrosion resistance, the assembly uses two stainless steel sleeves in the stock, two stainless steel adjustment rods in the comb, and an aluminum base inside the comb. Read more
