APEX TACTICAL
Plus-2 Base Pad for FNX-45
Apex has expanded its support for the FN line of pistols with a new Plus-2 magazine base pad extension for the FNX-45 model pistol.
Machined from aluminum and black hardcoat anodized for durability, the new Apex FNX-45 base pad easily increases magazine capacity by two rounds and provides enough space for the stack to further compress the magazine spring to allow a fully loaded magazine to be seated with the slide in battery. The base pad’s integrated finger grooves make stripping a magazine easy.

RMT TRIGGERS
The Nomad Drop-In AR-15 Trigger
The Nomad Trigger offers one-of-a-kind, patented Pivot Technology to provide users with the most forgiving and precise trigger on the market. This new technology allows the trigger to adjust freely to the shooter’s natural position and minimize error through each individual trigger pull. The Nomad Trigger is engineered to move and index correctly every time, allowing the firearm to remain stable through a variety of shooting positions and trigger pulls. In short, the trigger freely adjusts left-to-right and the shoe itself rotates to the natural position of the shooter rather than the other way around. Besides the forgiving pivoting nature of the trigger, users will enjoy a very crisp 3-pound pull, a short .017-inch reset and a lifetime warranty.
The housing and trigger are both of anodized 7075 aluminum with 440c stainless steel for key internal components, and S7 tool steel for maximum durability of the hammer itself. These components are machined to medical grade fit and finish to ensure a smooth, crisp, and consistent pull.

Savage Arms
6.5 PRC to 110 Precision Lineup
Savage Arms is adding 6.5 PRC to its line of 110 Precision rifles. The new chambering provides outstanding short-magnum potential from an adaptable rifle platform that will be chambered in both right and left-hand configurations.
“The 6.5 PRC was originally designed as a long-range hunting round,” said Jessica Treglia, Sr. Brand Manager at Savage Arms. “This is essentially a magnum version of the 6.5 Creedmoor—but much of what makes the 6.5 PRC cartridge great for hunting makes it a contender on the competition side, too. 6.5mm bullets are known for their exceptional ballistic coefficients and the 6.5 PRC adds more velocity from its short-magnum design. They are performing really well and are especially capable in adverse conditions.”
The 110 Precision line is built around Savage’s 110 action. With a custom LSS stock designed by the accuracy experts at Modular Driven Technologies (MDT), the 110 Precision is fully customizable. From the adjustable comb height and length of pull to the capabilities of its AccuTriger, this aluminum-framed rifle is built for exacting performance.
Features:
- 24-inch barrel
- Savage factory blueprinted action
- Matte black carbon steel heavy barrel, threaded 5/8-24
- MDT LSS XL Chassis with FDE Cerakote
- Exclusive skeletonized stock with fully adjustable comb height and length-of-pull
- 1.5 to 4-pound user adjustable AccuTrigger
- 20-MOA, one–piece EGW rail
- AICS magazine
- BA Muzzle brake
MSRP: $1,595

Additionally, the 9310 alloy bolt, machined 4140 tool steel alloy extractor, 4130 chromoly steel alloy gas key, and 4340 chromoly steel alloy camp pin are all PVD coated and polished for additional lubricity and corrosion resistance.
ACI’s AR15/M16 TiN Gold Polished BCG is HP proof tested without evidence of failure 100 percent by using a high-pressure M197 or SAAMI commercial equivalent. MPI testing occurs after the successful HP proof test, using the ASTM E1444 inspection standard five-turn magnetizing coil.
