Beretta Threatens to Leave Maryland

By on February 26, 2013 in Guns

beretta-USA-logoBeretta is now threatening to move their manufacturing operations to a different state if Maryland passes new gun control measures. Maryland already has some of the more stringent gun laws in the nation.

I am glad to see companies like Magpul and Beretta taking a stand. We would like to think that these state governments are concerned with the rights of their citizens but these types of moves hit them in the only place they are concerned about – their coffers. How many high profile manufacturers will it take for these ideologues to realize that there are down stream consequences in the form of lost jobs and tax revenue for pandering to their base with ineffective, illegal, and emotionally conceived gun control legislation?

Where Do Competition Shooting and Tactical Training Meet?

By on February 26, 2013 in Tactics and Training

Trigger Time TV recently posted a video that explores how action shooting competition and tactical training can have a symbiotic relationship. Unless you have access to private land to shoot on, there are certain things that you just can’t do at many public ranges, like shoot on the move, draw from concealment, or engage targets in multiple directions. However, all of these things are common in action shooting competitions. There is tremendous training value to be found in these competitions if you approach them with a proper mindset.

Cavalry Manufacturing SCAR MK17S PMAG Lower

By on February 25, 2013 in Guns

It looks like SCAR MK17S shooters are going to have some options when it comes to using PMAGs with their MK17S. Many of your are likely already familiar with the billet aluminum Handl Defense lower that allows the SCAR MK17S accept PMAGs but there is now a another manufacturer throwing their hat into the ring – Cavalry Manufacturing.

You might see the Cavalry Manufacturing name and think polymer but this lower will be made from aluminum. Unlike an AR-15 the lower receiver on the SCAR is not the serialized receiver so it can be purchased without having to go through an FFL. This is also why Cavalry Manufacturing, who no longer holds an FFL, can manufacture these receivers.

Look for more details on the Cavalry Manufacturing SCAR MK17S PMAG lower soon. Hat tip to SinistralRifleman.com for the information and video.
