Mossberg Delivers “Braking News” With Their Rimfire Line Up

New Mossberg Muzzle Brakes

Mossberg

North Haven, CT  - -(AmmoLand.com)- Mossberg International puts on the brakes – muzzle brakes, that is! Adding to its already extensive line of bolt-action and semi-automatic rimfire rifles, Mossberg International is offering five new muzzle brake Plinkster and other rimfire models packed full of features.

Muzzle brakes are now available on the following models: the standard 702 Plinkster® (.22 LR autoloading), the scoped 802 Plinkster™ (.22 LR bolt-action with 4x scope) and the scoped model 817 (.17 HMR with 3-9×40 scope). In addition, muzzle brakes will be fit onto a scoped model 817 with a thumbhole stock and Tipdown forend (.17HMR with 3-9×40 scope), and lastly, an 817 (.17HMR) will offer a complete package of a muzzle brake plus an upgraded 4-16×50 scope featuring sun shade, flip open lens protectors and a bi-pod.

The muzzle brake reduces recoil in an already mild shooting platform, increasing one’s ability for a more accurate follow-up shot. This benefits the shooter whether plinking at tin cans or hunting small game.

These new Plinkster and rimfire rifles are the perfect go-anywhere kind of gun, with the built-in features normally found on rifles that cost much more. For example, the thumbhole stock with a Tipdown forend provides a vertical, pistol-like grip for both hands, which offers the most natural, ergonomic position for the human hand to assume when holding a rifle to the shoulder. This results in a more natural positioning of the hands and a comfort level more conducive to accurate shooting, be it from the prone, kneeling, sitting or off-hand positions.

Whether your idea of fun is serious marksmanship practice, chasing small game or just plinking around, Mossberg has a model that fits the bill.

Charter Arms .327 Fed. Mag. snub nose revolver is a real hot rod!

Charter Arms Patriot Revolvers

Charter Arms Revolvers

Charter Arms, Dayton, OH, 2008 – Charter Arms new .327 Federal Magnum. Like its revolutionary 327 cubic-inch Chevrolet hot motor model namesake introduced in 1962 the .327 Federal Magnum round is a real hotrod too. Charter Arms new Patriot is the industry’s first snub nose revolver chambered for this potent round.

Designed for legal conceal-carry Charter Arms Patriot features 6-shot capacity and a 2.2-inch barrel, slick target front ramp and groove channel fixed sights. The second variation comes with a 4-inch barrel, target ramp sight and adjustable rear sights, and it too is chambered for 6-rounds. The good news is they are both at a great price point too and by the time you get this release Charter Arms is shipping the new revolvers to dealers in other words both are available. “We feel the .327 Federal Magnum is an excellent self defense round and the light weight and low price point coupled with our first 2,000 production promotion program (see below) makes a very attractive purchase.”— Charles Brown, MKS Supply, marketer of Charter Firearms.

Charter Arms Patriot 2.2-inch barrel conceal carry model is ideal for self defense with Federal’s 85-grain low recoil Hydra-Shok round which, based on Factory ammo. specs. for a 31/2 inch bbl. should yield about 1250-1280 fps from the 2.2 Patriot.

The Patriot is a good looking all stainless steel revolver with full size rubber grips. For a fun hard-shooter for plinking, hunting (where legal), target shooting and self defense the Patriot’s power, reduced recoil impulse (20-25 percent less than the .357 Magnum) and recoil reducing rubber grips makes this an powerfully friendly and very affordable revolver to shoot. The Charter Arms Patriot will safely chamber and fire the .32 H & R Magnum round as well as others in the .32 center fire family.

Built on Charter Arm’s robust and popular .44 Special Bulldog frame the Patriot’s 8-groove barrel (unique to Charter Arms) makes for accurate target shooting and improved pressure holding lower resistance bullet deforming velocities over conventional 4- and 6-groove barrels. The all steel 2.2-inch Patriot weighs in at just 22.5-ounces while the 4-inch model comes in at 25-ounces. Light weight, powerful, lower recoil, affordable price; the Charter Arms 2.2 Patriot fills the bill.

Price 2.2-inch model (P/N 73270) $425.00 MSRP; 4-inch model (P/N 73274) with adjustable sights is also only $425.00 MSRP.

But Wait! It gets better! While the supply lasts, the first 2000 Charter Arms Patriots are also sold (no extra cost) with a matching, clip mount Kershaw Scallion 21/4 inch 420 HC stainless-steel blade, grey anodized aluminum handle folding knife with Charter .327 engraved into the handle. Price of a like Kershaw knife is $49.95.

Both revolvers, like all other Charter Arms manufactured revolvers carry lifetime warrantees. Visit Charter Arms at www.charterfirearms.com
