Arsenal, Inc.’s Proprietary California Magazine Lock
Generally, California restricts the sale and possession of semi-automatic center fire rifles with the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and other specified features.

California regulations, however, exclude magazines that require the use of a tool to be removed from being deemed “detachable magazines.” Our new California line departs from the standard rifles and shotguns of this type by requiring the use of Arsenal, Inc.’s proprietary tool to remove the magazine. Arsenal, Inc’s new magazine lock design thereby renders the magazine “non-detachable” under California law.

The technology behind Arsenal, Inc.’s new design includes the absence of the protruding tab at the bottom of the magazine catch, which usually permits the user to push with his thumb and remove the magazine. The addition of a special housing, which fits inside the trigger guard’s original housing, completely surrounds the magazine catch. Together, the special magazine catch and housing require a special tool to operate the internal magazine catch.

Our proprietary tool, provided with each California edition rifle and shotgun by Arsenal, Inc., is required to unlock and remove the magazine through a narrow channel on the housing. Unlike other semi-engineered designs in the market, Arsenal, Inc’s slick design does not bulk up the trigger guard and does not disfigure the profile of the rifle. Arsenal, Inc.’s uses a unique magazine catch pin, specifically designed for the California compliant series firearms. This 2-piece design provides added security and integrity to the assembly.

Arsenal, Inc.’s design of the non-detachable magazine system fully meets and exceeds the State of California’s requirements for classifying the factory shipped rifles and shotguns as California compliant.*

* The Department of Justice of the State of California has not evaluated this system and does not issue official ruling on firearm compliance.

Ruger Introduces New Platform in Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle

Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle

Ruger Firearms

Southport, CT --(Ammoland.com)- Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is proud to announce the Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle, the ideal “fighting carbine” in .308 Winchester that is a credible rendition of Col. Jeff Cooper’s Scout Rifle concept.

Cooper called for a relatively lightweight, hard hitting, do-all rifle that in the hands of an accomplished shooter was able to place accurate, sustained fire out to long ranges, yet was quick-handling and light enough for all-day carry.

Developed in conjunction with Gunsite instructor Ed Head, the Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle is a new platform in the Ruger M77 family.

While the Scout Rifle has M77 features such as controlled round feed and integral scope mounts (scope rings included), the 10-round detachable box magazine is the first clue this isn’t your grandfather’s Ruger rifle.

“Ruger has taken an in depth look at the intended purpose of a Scout Rifle and developed a full-featured rifle designed to meet the Scout Rifle criteria of hunt, fight, defend,” says Head.

“This firearm offers outstanding features in an affordable, versatile and reliable rifle designed to deliver .308 Winchester performance in a variety of situations. It is compact, lightweight, offers 10-round box magazines, can be fit to the individual shooter, and accommodates a host of optics. It is a serious rifle for those serious about rifles.”

Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle

The Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle has a 16.5″ medium contour, cold hammer-forged, alloy steel barrel with a Mini-14 protected non-glare post front sight and receiver mounted, adjustable ghost ring rear sight for out-of-the-box usability. A forward mounted Picatinny rail offers options in mounting an assortment of optics – including Scout Scopes available from Burris and Leupold, for “both eyes open” sighting and super-fast target acquisition.

A Mini-14/SR-556 flash suppressor is effective on reducing the muzzle flash that may be present on some .308 Winchester loads when fired out of the short (16.5″) barrel. The 5/8-24 muzzle threads allow most standard .30 caliber muzzle accessories – flash suppressors, muzzle brakes, and sound suppressors – to be installed.

The Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle features a matte black oxide alloy steel barrel and receiver on a black laminate stock with sling swivel studs and checkered grip and forearm. A soft rubber recoil pad, with three 1/2″ spacers allows the length of pull to be adjusted and allow the rifle to be properly sized for different shooters, or to give the shooter the proper fit with outerwear or defensive gear of varying thickness. With its compact size and weighing in at just under seven pounds, the Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle combines ease of carry and shooting for the serious Scout Rifle enthusiast.

The rifle’s trigger guard and magazine well are formed with glass-reinforced nylon. The magazine release is a push-forward Mini-14 paddle just ahead of the trigger guard. “Gunsite Scout Rifle” is engraved on the grip cap of the laminated, weather resistant stock, and the receiver is roll-marked “Ruger Gunsite Scout”, commemorating the collaboration of Ruger with Gunsite Academy, America’s oldest private firearms training facility.

As they say, beware the man with one gun, for he probably knows how to use it. Never has this been more true than with the Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle, the one rifle to have if you could only have one. It is the perfect lightweight, hard-hitting, do-it-all bolt-action rifle – where rugged, reliable Ruger meets the practical, tactical.
