MaXbox is a development of Eagleye Hunting Gear. Made from high quality EVA closed cell foam, which is unbreakable and weather proof, the MaXbox provides shooters a stable rest platform for shooting from a variety of positions. Designed to provide the stability often not found when shooting outside of a range, the MaXbox offers shooters options for target, field, and even vehicle shooting.
Mossberg recently joined forces with the wildly popular real-TV show Duck Dynasty. Adding to their very popular line of shotguns, Mossberg will now offer a Duck Commander Series.
The Series includes 11 pump-action and auto-loading waterfowl shotguns that will feature the Duck Commander logo, Realtree Max-5 camouflage, TRUGLO fiber optic sights with a variety of stock, barrel and finish options. The Duck Commander line will also include two .22LR semi-auto rifles – a plastic gun that looks like an AR-15, and the Mossberg 702 Plinkster semi-auto rifle. In addition, there will be a .22LR semi-auto pistol (also on an AR-looking shell). Every firearm will come with an American flag bandana.
In a move to expand their popular flip-up sights, Diamondhead has announced the addition of a new polymer line of spring-loaded flip-up sights. These sights will be modeled after the original metal Diamondhead line of flip-up sights, which have been very well received with their ability to quickly guide the shooter’s eye to center.
The new polymer sights are designed to work on all AR-15‘s with a Picatinny attachment rail, though they are not suitable for a gas block sight base to heat concerns. In addition to lighter weight, from the advanced polymer/composite construction, Diamondhead has incorporated NiteBrite photoluminescent inserts that can be illuminated with natural light or with a flashlight. This feature will be standard.
Perhaps the coolest gadget I’ve seen at the SHOT Show so far this year is the Caldwell AR-15 Mag Charger. Being displayed at the Battenfeld Technologies booth, the Mag Charger is designed to quickly load AR-15 magazines in three easy steps. According to the advertisement, the Mag Charger can load 30-rounds of ammunition from the box to the magazine in only 10 seconds. The system is capable of loading .223, 5.56mm, and .204 ammunition.
The Mag Charger has a spring loaded ammunition tray designed for 50 rounds per load sitting inside of an open-topped plastic housing. Loading 50-round boxes of ammunition that typically sit loosely in a plastic or styrofoam tray is best, but ammunition can be loaded individually if needed.
WMD Guns of Stuart, Florida is now offering “The Beast†to the AR-15 market. Known for their Nickel Boron coated parts and accessories, The Beast will be chambered in 5.56mm/.223. The Nickel Boron (NiB-X) coating on nearly every major component should catch the shooter’s eye. The barrel is coated in Nickel Boron, which WMD claims assist the rifle in heat dissipation.
