Magpul MOE Fixed Carbine Stock

magpul fixed stock

Magpul announced a new addition to their popular MOE line of products – the MOE Fixed Carbine Stock. Available in both Mil-Spec and Commercial models the Fixed Carbine Stock provides shooters with another option to satisfy their personal preferences, or State-mandated rifle accessories. The new addition is specifically designed for Carbine-length buffer tubes.

The MOE Fixed Carine Stock has many similar features of the popular MOE collapsible stock. Unlike the previous MOE fixed stock option, the MOE Rifle Stock, the new Fixed Carbine Stock has an open frame that closely resembles the look of the collapsible stock version. The open frame is a little longer and larger than the collapsible stock version, and there is a fixed spacer at the front of the stock. That spacer is designed to envelope the bottom half of the castle nut.

Head On Tactical Shotgun Shell Pouch

Head Down Shotgun Pouch

I just stumbled across a small company called Head On Tactical that is making a variety of pouches, bags and carriers for all of your tactical needs. They have a bunch of cool looking products in MultiCam, A-TACS, plus the more “pedestrian” coyote, black and Ranger green.

One of the products I think is really innovative is the Vessel Pursuit Shotgun Pouch they developed with the guys at MARSEC4. The pouch compactly holds 24 shotgun shells and divides them up with color-coded pulls to more easily distinguish between two different rounds like slugs and buckshot.

ElZetta ZRX Flashlight Mount

ElZetta ZRX

[Ed. note: This is an introduction to the ElZetta ZRX flashlight mount from our experience with it at the 2013 SHOT Show. When we get one to test (on order already), we will have a full review here.]

Over the last couple of years we have come to know ElZetta as an innovative company that offers solutions to fill the voids sometimes left by other manufacturers. Sitting in a smaller booth on the basement floor of the SHOT Show, it would be easy to miss them in the mass of smaller vendors downstairs. Thankfully we picked up on their offerings and have found the reps to be more than helpful in showing off their gear.

This year I stopped by the booth and took a look at one of the newest flashlight mounts ElZetta is offering – the ZRX. ElZetta rep, Dave Barnett walked me through the specifics.  This flashlight mount combines hard anodized aluminum clamp rings with a polymer body that makes the ZRX extremely light weight at only 1.1 oz.

Comp-Tac Trojan Horse

Trojan Horse

While at Media Day, I got a chance to see the Comp-Tac Trojan Horse, which is a discreet way to carry a rifle or carbine. The case looks more like an over-sized tennis racquet case than it does a rifle bag. This allows someone to legally carry a gun into places in a manner that will not draw attention.

Gordon Carrell, the general manager for Comp-Tac, gave me a demonstration of the Trojan Horse, and convinced me that this case is a well designed product that will please most shooters who are in the market for such a tool. The case is not flimsy, and appears it will stand up to many years of service, even from neanderthals like me.

Gerber Go Bag

Gerber GO Bag

A “go bag” is typically a pack or bag that is loaded with the essentials someone might need to survive if they have to leave where they are in a hurry. I differentiate the go bag from the bug out bag, considering the bug out bag to have more supplies to better sustain me for several days, while the go bag is to get me out of the immediate situation.

The Gerber Go Bag is a recent introduction to the market and combines a Maxpedition bag with various equipment.
