Legislation Introduced To Fix Major Gaff In New Jersey Gun-A-Month Law

National Shooting Sports Foundation

Trenton, NJ --(AmmoLand.com)- As drafted and hastily signed into law by outgoing New Jersey Gov.

Jon Corzine, over NSSF’s strenuous objection, New Jersey’s one-gun-a-month legislation did not provide an exemption for federally licensed firearms retailers, who would be barred from purchasing inventory from distributors or manufacturers. This was reported on at length before being signed by the anti-gun governor who ignored all warnings.

NSSF raised this problem in testimony before the Firearms and Advisory Task Force.

Thankfully, the task force listened and recommended corrective legislation that has been introduced in the “lame duck” session and is expected to be passed in the next week or so and be signed into law.

Also Announces Addition of .338 Lapua Chambering.

Zel Custom Gen-3 Tactilite Rifle

ODESSA, FL –-(AmmoLand.com)- Zel Custom Manufacturing announced, today, the release of its third-generation of Tactilite big-bore, bolt-action uppers for AR-style rifles.

The Tactilite “Gen-3” achieves a significant upgrade in accuracy and durability through engineering and manufacturing improvements, notably machining the upper receiver from a single piece of steel.

Zel Custom Manufacturing also announced that the Tactilite is now available for the popular .338 Lapua cartridge, in addition its the existing lines of .50 BMG and .416 Barrett conversion kits.

“Machining the upper receiver from a solid piece of steel offers several important advantages,” said Michael Brendzel, president of Zel Custom Manufacturing.

“First, it allows us to create an integrated scope rail that will not lose zero.

Second, we are able to precisely align the integrated scope rail with an integrated barrel extension to assure the greatest accuracy.

Third, the solid receiver is stronger and more durable than the cast and/or welded uppers offered by competitors. While our approach is more costly in time and materials, we have taken the opportunity to reengineer our processes and have been able to maintain our well-known value pricing.”

Based on the success of the Tactilite chambered in .50 BMG and .416 Barrett, Zel Custom Manufacturing also announced the introduction of a Tactilite chambered in .338 Lapua. “The .338 Lapua fills a critical void and we believe that Zel Custom provides an excellent value option in this space,” Brendzel stated.

Last week, Zel Custom Manufacturing started shipping Gen-3 Tactilite uppers to major firearms distributors, including RSR Group, to be available to dealers in time for the holidays.
