Real Avid Compact Smart-Torq Adjustable Limiter

GW:  A must-have for anyone that thinks gorilla hands are required to mount a scope.

Real Avid, the leader in DIY for Guns®, makes do-it-yourself gun enthusiasts and professional gunsmiths the masters of attaching hardware with the introduction of the company’s all-new Smart-Torq® Adjustable Limiter.

The Smart-Torq® Adjustable Limiter is a precision-manufactured, precisely tuned in-lb torque limiter developed specifically for firearm applications. The compact, sleek design stows neatly in the toolbox or on the work bench and is ergonomically designed to ensure a positive grip for securing even high-torque screws.

With the Smart-Torq® Adjustable Limiter, users can adjust for any torque value between 15 and 65 in-lbs. This range covers nearly all scope mount, scope ring, and action screw torque requirements, and does so down to 1 in-lb increments.

The Smart-Torq® Adjustable Limiter is available separately or as part of the new Real Avid Smart-Torq® Adjustable Limiter and X3 Driver™ Kit. This kit comes with the adjustable limiter, the new X3 Driver™ — a modular unit that incorporates three driver systems (ratchet, T-handle, and screwdriver) — and an assortment of common driver bits, hex-to-square 1/4-inch adapter, and a 1/2-inch socket. A compartmentalized hard plastic case keeps all tools organized and secure for the work bench or the shooting bench.

Maryland Alert: Lead Ammunition Ban Bills

Contact Your Senator and Delegate Today and Urge Them to Oppose These Bans!

This session, the Maryland General Assembly is considering two bills that will ban the use of traditional lead ammunition for hunting throughout the state.

Senate Bill 634 and House Bill 741 will phase out the use of traditional lead ammunition for hunting by 2029. These bills use a species-based phase-out scheme that does not consider the current and future availability of lead alternatives. In fact, the bills are being pushed by anti-hunting groups that want to ban hunting all together.

Currently, both these bills are sitting in their respective committees awaiting committee votes. The deadline to report these bills favorably is quickly approaching as the bill crossover date is March 17. This is the day each chamber sends to the other chamber those bills it intends to pass favorably.

Please take action by contacting your senator and delegate. Respectfully ask them to oppose these bans. Instead of a ban, ask them to support voluntary measures that encourage hunters to try some of the new, non-lead products available on the market. The ultimate decision should be left up to hunters themselves and not mandated by the state. You can find your legislator by clicking here.

Fire experts within the DNR occasionally plan strategic fires called prescribed burns to manage the ecosystem on state lands. These burns help control invasive species, improve wildlife habitat, promote healthy forests and grasslands, and reduce wildfire fuel.

Our stewardship team, comprised of foresters, wildlife biologists and other natural resources experts, develop detailed burn plans, ensuring responsible habitat management and enhanced recreational opportunities.

This means you may notice fire activity when visiting or driving by a state park this spring and summer. To sign up to receive prescribed burn updates in your inbox, visit the DNR’s Prescribed Fire page.

FPC Defends Victory in New York Firearm Carry Ban Lawsuit

NEW YORK – Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced that it filed its answering brief with the federal Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in Christian v. James, an FPC Law case that challenges New York’s laws banning firearms on all publicly accessible private property without the express consent of the owner.

These accelerated appellate proceedings closely follow the Western District of New York’s judgment in favor of the FPC plaintiffs just two months ago in January. This brief can be viewed at firearmspolicy.org/boron.

New York’s ban “implicates the plain text of the Second Amendment by regulating where firearms may lawfully be carried. And it cannot be reconciled with the historic principles underlying the Second Amendment,” argues the brief. “This Court already has held that the State is unlikely to be able to justify the law historically. The Court should now hold that its prediction was correct.”

“We are committed to putting an end to this immoral and unconstitutional law, whatever it takes, and this brief is an important step to that end,” said FPC President Brandon Combs. “This outrageous regulatory scheme simply cannot pass constitutional muster and the Second Circuit should hold as much without delay.” Read more
