Caldwell Expands Hearing Protection Line

Platinum G3 series is high-end choice for serious shooters

Battenfeld Technologies, Inc. has announced the addition of the Platinum Series G3 to its line of electronic hearing protection.

The G3 offers several upgrades over the popular E-MAXTM ear muffs, including a comfortable padded fleece headband, independent left/right volume control and special "sound compression" circuitry that both limits loud noises without "cutting out" and amplifies low-level sounds, allowing the wearer to have continued conversations during shooting.

"Battenfeld is dedicated to pushing the envelope of quality and value, and the G3 hearing protection is no exception," says New Model Manager Adam Birk. "We set out to build the best features at an affordable price into a comfortable and easy-to-wear set, and with the Platinum Series G3, we've done just that."

Caldwell Unveils “7-Rest”

Caldwell Shooting Supplies has unveiled "7-Rest", the next chapter in a quest to revolutionize the shooting rest industry.

The 7-Rest features fully-adjustable overmolded front and rear supports and a unique offset design that puts the main base of the rest at an angle, instead of a straight line, allowing for comfortable left- or right-handed shooting of any rifle, even those with an extended magazine. The result is rock-solid, all-in-one shooting base with plenty of vertical adjustment to accommodate guns of virtually any length that folds quickly for easy transport and storage,.

"We enjoy the challenge of problem-solving, and this project provided a great opportunity," says Adam Birk, New Model Manager for Battenfeld Technologies, Inc. "With the rise in popularity of ARs and extended magazine, the traditional T-style rest design tends to get in the way of the shooter." The 7-Rest (named for its "7" rather than "T" shape) solves that problem with no increased cost, allowing the rest to remain very affordable.

Magpul Industries' Folding Machine Gun (FMG9)

The Magpul® Folding Machine Gun (FMG9™) is a rapidly-deployable, ultra-concealable personal defense weapon currently in development for military, law-enforcement and private security operators. It is designed to offer maximum firepower and control in a compact and discreet package.

The non-firing prototype was unveiled during the 2008 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, NV and features a streamlined polymer casing, ready-to-fire push-button deployment, Glock® 17 slide assembly, capability to accept up to 31-round Glock® 18 magazines (in the folded position), top Picatinny (MIL-STD-1913A) rail and a detachable carrying handle with light shield. An Insight Technologies tactical light was mounted on the prototype. Additional space allows for an auto-sear to be installed for qualified users.

The FMG9™ is currently a conceptual prototype. No determination of production of the system has been finalized. If the weapon were to be produced it would be regulated by the National Firearms Act of 1934. The semi-automatic version would most likely be classified as a Short-Barreled Rifle (SBR) or Any-Other Weapon (AOW) depending on an evaluation from the ATF Firearms Technology Branch. This would require a registered transfer only to qualified individuals. Fully-automatic versions would be classified as a post ’86 Machine-Gun (MG) and would not be available to individuals other than Class 3 dealers, military and law enforcement personnel.

Videos of the non-firing prototype can be viewed on YouTube.

More information about the FMG9, including features and specs can be found on Magpul's website(PDF).
