MKS Supply, Inc., Dayton, OH – Inland Manufacturing, makers of the incredibly popular Inland series of M1Carbines, debuts its new .30 caliber carbine pistol.

Inland’s new M30-P pistol with Gear Head Mod II Tail Hook Arm Brace is a highly modified version of Inland’s popular full size .30 caliber carbine. It is fitted into a special Sage Enhanced Battle Rifle tactical carbine stock, and comes with a Gear Head Works Mod II Arm Brace, Ergo Sure Grip pistol grip, and handy (1/2×28 tpi threaded) 12-inch barrel.

The Sage EBR M30-P chassis*1 is specially designed for this Inland pistol and when combined with the Mod II Tail Hook Arm Brace (fits the forearm, it is not a shoulder stock) makes effective one-hand shooting a breeze. The easily removable arm brace is incredibly quick to employ for a firm, positive fit for either right or left hand use.

Inland’s 12-inch barrel delivers excellent ballistics, especially with today’s modern ammunition. Each M30-P is shipped with one 10-round magazine and, like all Inland .30 caliber carbines and pistols, the magazine catch fits higher-capacity military and civilian magazines.*2

These features combine to make the Inland M30-P pistol a highly efficient, compact, robust, and accurate system. Read more

Imported exclusively by the Italian Firearms Group, the Iside family of side-by-side shotguns are available now in the United States, combining Old World quality and craftsmanship with cutting-edge shotgun technology. Upland game hunters will especially love the balance and accuracy of these fine shotguns.

Iside shotguns are made by Fabbrica Armi Isodoro Rizzini or F.A.I.R. in a state-of-the-art production facility in Marcheno, located in Italy’s Lombardy Region. Established in 1971, F.A.I.R. specilaizes in building hunting and competition shotguns, as well as rifles designed for big and dangerous game.

The Iside family of side-by-sides encompasses seven (7) models. Beautful and extremely functional afield, the models range from the original Iside to the Iside Prestige Tartaruga Gold. All models are built around F.A.I.R.’s demi-bloc barrel coupling system, with the barrel and breech formed from a single piece of bored steel. This coupling system and the Iside compact box lock action creates a very lightweight shotgun—lightweight without the use of aluminum alloys.

Iside side-by-sides are available in 12, 16, 20, .28 and .410 gauges, each with its own dedicated, rounded, steel frame. All models feature F.A.I.R.’s own X-cones. Depending on the model, the Isides will have either manual and automatic extractors, various levels of engraving and checkering, and different grades of European walnut for the stock and fore end pieces. Barrel lengths are between 26- and 30-inches. Read more
