Magnum Research® Goes Wild with Desert Eagle Cheetah

Pomona, NY – For 30 years, the iconic Desert Eagle has been referred to as a “beast”. Now, more than ever, it looks like one too. Whether you prefer stainless steel, titanium, gold, chrome, nickel or bronze, the Desert Eagle has a finish for everyone. Now, for a limited time, the Desert Eagle can be purchased in a Cheetah print.

“We always have had a tremendous amount of interest among fans of the Desert Eagle every time we introduce a new pattern or finish” stated Frank Harris, VP of Sales of Marketing. “The introduction of the Cheetah print was something our dealers thought would appeal to collectors and also those people who just want a more wild finish on their DE.”

The new Cheetah finish on the Desert Eagle .50 AE and .44 Mag, utilizes 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, or 14.75″ in a 10″ 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

Remington Announces Para Integration

At Remington Outdoor Company (“ROC”) we develop, manufacture and market the highest quality firearms, ammunition, and related products. We have built ROC by acquiring and cultivating great brands and products, such as the Remington 870 and 700, DPMS rifles, AAC suppressors, Barnes Bullets ammunition, Para USA handguns, and more while continuously investing in our people and facilities. In 2011 Remington re-entered the handgun market with the critically acclaimed R1 1911, an updated version of the 1911 Remington made for the US government in World War I. Most of ROC’s new product launches and acquisitions have gone well, but they aren’t always perfect and, candidly, we did a poor job with the Marlin factory relocation and the R51 launch. These were expensive but valuable lessons. Read more

Mossy Oak Shooting Bags

ROGERS CITY, MI – The first and only shooting bag made in the USA with officially licensed Mossy Oak® brand camouflage, The Shooting Bag from Camp Camo, was designed with the single purpose of stabilizing your shot without becoming cumbersome.

Its size was carefully thought out to provide the most stability without being too bulky; no one wants to carry around a huge shooting bag. The unique high-tac, non-slip lining keeps The Shooting Bag in place no matter what surface you may be shooting from. The cradle that holds the gun was designed to meld around the stock, which adds a perfect amount of stability to increase the accuracy of each shot on the range, in the deer blind, or from a fence post. The Shooting Bag from Camp Camo is built to last using 600 Denier water-resistant material.

The Shooting Bag™ stabilizes your gun for a more accurate shot when compared to not using a stabilizer. It ships unfilled. Fill it with whole or crushed corn, beans, buckwheat hulls or rice. Fill size is 6-inches wide, 7-inches high and 2-inches deep. Retail price is $29.95.

Pennsylvania town posts signs: “This is not a gun free zone”

This is not a gun free zone sign

Conoy Township has only a little over 3,000 people, but they may be getting some unusual attention.  From Lancaster, Pennsylvania’s LNP:

Conoy Township has a message for criminals who might be thinking about preying on its residents: This is not a gun-free zone.
And that’s exactly what visitors will see once all the signs are securely in place along every road leading into the township. . . .
Mohr said he came up with the idea and township supervisors unanimously approved the decision to create and post the signs last fall.
“Over the last six months we’ve seen more and more home invasions and petty crime, so we thought these signs would show people we take pride in what we own,” he said. . . .

All New Forged Mil-spec A2 Carry Handle Sight by Leapers/UTG

Ever since mankind started working metal to make tools and implements for daily use, forging has been the process by which all others are measured. Producing parts with superior material strength and cohesion over casting or machining, makes forging the best choice for many Mil-spec firearm accessories. Leapers/UTG has risen to the challenge of making their already widely successful Mil-spec A2 carry handle sight even better by using 7075 T6 aircraft grade aluminum and forging it from one piece.

The forged blank is then precision machined to exacting tolerances. Made right here in the USA, this match grade carry handle is virtually indestructible and mounts easily to all Picatinny railed flat top upper receivers using secure retention thumb nuts and a hardened steel side plate for solid locking. The sight assembly itself is made from steel and has precise windage and elevation dials augmented by dual apertures, making it suitable for tactical use as well as competition. Weighing in at a mere 9.3 ounces, the Leapers/UTG Forged A2 Carry Handle is a maximum performance upgrade for your AR built as solid as a hammer striking an anvil. Read more
