Henry Keeps the Famous AR-7 Survival Rifle Alive

I’ve recently had multiple e-mails asking who is making holsters for the Taurus 709 (aka the Slim) and the Sig Sauer P238.  Based on how well both of these guns have been selling, I imagine their is a great deal of demand for quality holsters for these firearms.

If you are in the market for a holster for the 709 or P238, you should check out High Noon Holsters.  Based in Tarpon Springs, FL, High Noon Holsters makes a variety of high-quality holsters in many different styles, including models for the Taurus Slim and Sig P238.

Zel Custom Manufacturing Adds .416 Barrett Uppers to Line

Zel Custom Tactilite .416 Barrett

Zel Custom Manufacturing added uppers chambered for the .416 Barrett to its Tactilite line-up.  According to the Zel Custom website, the initial production run has already sold out, but they are taking orders for the next batch.  I would venture to guess that is the position many businesses would like to find themselves in.

The Tactilite uppers are designed to mount to any standard AR lower, and work as a bolt action gun. A Cerakote finish is standard, with optional patterns and stenciling.

Standard barrel lengths are 18.5″, 22″, 24″, and 29″.  Custom lengths up to 36″ are available as special order items.  The barrels are free floated, and are made by Mossberg or Lothar Walther, depending on the model.
