New: Sauer SL5 Turkey Shotgun

Spring turkey season is upon us, and that means checking out new shotguns. Enter Sauer USA with its timely launch of the new SL5 series turkey shotguns. These guns are fine-tuned for chasing thunder chickens, but they remain the same reliable, quality firearms as the original SL5 models. And of course, the Sauer USA brand is part of J.P. Sauer and Sohn, a gun maker known as the oldest hunting firearms manufacturer in Germany. They have quite a reputation backing them.

According to the manufacturer, these new additions to their existing SL5 line are meant for hardcore turkey hunters. They are semi-automatic shotguns chambered in 12-gauge and designed to run with either 2 ¾ or 3-inch shells. The guns also have 18.5-inch deep-drilled, chrome-lined barrels with stepped ribs for precise alignment. Black anodized receivers, which will help reduce glare and increase concealment during a hunt, come standard on all SL5 Turkey Shotguns. A camo composite stock helps conceal the gun from the sharp eyes of turkeys and a pistol grip makes it simpler to maneuver.

Sauer also included a Cervellati recoil pad for greater comfort and sling attachments for portability. The red single-bead LPA front fiber-optic sight facilitates quicker aiming and fast shot placement when seconds matter. Other features include an oversized extended bolt handle and release button for easier operation even while wearing gloves and a removable picatinny rail.

Jason Evans, CEO of the Blaser Group, which imports J.P. Sauer and Sohn firearms, said “We are excited to partner with Mossy Oak to introduce these new high-performance, camo pattern turkey guns in our SL5 series. There is strong demand, and we designed these new shotguns to deliver desired features and consistent reliability at a very competitive price point.”

These shotguns feature Sauer’s Inertia-Driven System which makes cycling smooth and reliable. According to the manufacturer, the Inertia-Driven System also involves fewer working parts for greater longevity and a design that enhances accuracy. The guns are being offered in Mossy Oak Obsession, Mossy Oak Bottomland, and Mossy Oak New Bottomland, so hunters can choose whether to mix or match their own camo.

Sauer states the following about their SL5 Turkey Shotguns and their related warranties: “Made in Italy and backed by a 10-year factory warranty, the SL5 Turkey shotguns weigh 7 pounds, have a 3+1 capacity, and come standard with three chokes – a flush Cylinder, an extended CRIO Plus Modified choke, and a Carlson extended Turkey choke.”

From CZ regarding their new Scorpion 3+ Pistol:

“In 2014 CZ raised the bar with the release of the CZ Scorpion EVO 3. Building on our most popular firearm, the CZ Scorpion 3+ is an enhanced Scorpion model featuring upgrades most requested by our customers.  With backwards compatible magazines, an ambidextrous mag release and bolt catch, improved sights and upgraded grip ergonomics the Scorpion 3 + offers the operator an exceptional shooting experience on the range, as well as confidence and security at home.”

In addition, they stated “Ambidextrous controls are the gold standard in modern firearm design. In addition to the ambi safety found on the EVO 3, the Scorpion 3+ includes an ambidextrous bolt catch allowing for the user to operate it left or right-handed. The new AR-style mag release is accessible on both sides. The operation of the 3+ is now super intuitive – essential in high-stress situations!”

Upgrades include the M-LOK handguard being upgraded from aluminum to polymer and a slimmer upper receiver. Both changes improve ergonomics and make longer shooting sessions more comfortable because the polymer of the gun’s handguard will reduce how much heat the shooter feels during live-fire. According to the manufacturer, the new receiver design also allows for greater customization and additional accessory use.

In addition, the magwell has been resized and redesigned with more real estate available on the handguard for larger hands. Also updated are the adjustable four aperture aluminum sights which no provide a lower 1/3 co-witness with red dot sights.

There is also a locking window on the mag body to accommodate the magazine release, which has been updated to an AR-style release. Best of all, the new Scorpion 3+ magazines are compatible with prior generations of the model line.

Beretta Acquires RUAG Ammotec – The Mag Life

Beretta Holding announced they’ve reached a definitive agreement for their acquisition of RUAG Ammotec. The RUAG Ammotec name encompasses a number of ammunition brands including Norma, Rottweil Munitions, Geco, and RWS. They are currently known as the leading European provider for small caliber ammunition. This is an interesting sale and it will be fascinating to see RUAG Ammotec transition to its new position within Beretta Holdings.

Pietro Gussalli Beretta, President and CEO of Beretta Holding, said of the acquisition, “This is a very special moment in the history of our Group. We warmly welcome the more than 2,700 employees of RUAG Ammotec to our Group having worked almost three years on this project. We have the firearms and the optics, RUAG Ammotec has the ammo, there is almost no overlap. This new addition to our group will add a substantial number of high-end brands to our existing portfolio of premium brands.”

As Beretta Holding pointed out, they already hold various firearms brands, but until now they did not have any ammunition to go along with it. Currently, Beretta Holding includes Beretta, Benelli, Franchi, A. Uberti, Stoeger, Sako, Tikka, Victrix Armaments, Chapuis Armes, Steiner, and Burris. With the addition of the RUAG Ammotec family of brands, they’ll have not just one but many ammunition labels covering the various firearms they produce.

There are a number of moving parts for Beretta Holding at the moment. In fact, they say they are currently adding five manufacturing sites and 16 new companies in a dozen different countries to their family of brands. Following the successful acquisition of RUAG Ammotec, Beretta Holding will have more than 50 subsidiaries all over the world. According to the holding group, their new ownership of Ruag Ammotec will not change the brands existing commitment to producing high quality ammunition for the Bundeswehr and the Swiss Army. The group states the Swiss Government made the request they continue this practice, and Beretta Holding will fully support and maintain the existing locations.

The process of applying for the mandatory governmental approvals has already been begun by Beretta Holding and RUAG International. The current expectation is that Beretta Holding will take full ownership of RUAG Ammotec within approximately six months. Terms and conditions of the transaction are not being disclosed at this time. In summation of the events, Pietro Gussalli Beretta said: “We have been very pleased by the deep understanding, full dedication, and high professionality of Mediobanca, always so close to worldwide operating traditional family-owned businesses.”

This acquisition will undoubtedly add to Beretta Holdings’ overall strength in the firearms industry and will hopefully lead to some innovative new loads for the firearms they produce.

CMC Triggers Announces New Trigger for AR-15/AR-10 Platform

One of the fantastic features of the AR platform is the many options for customization. Among the companies offering high-quality components for aftermarket use is CMC Triggers, a Forth Worth, Texas-based manufacturer. The company’s latest addition to their line of drop-in triggers is the Goldfinger, which is designed for AR-15 and AR-10 platform rifles.

As the name suggests, the CMC Goldfinger trigger has bright gold features. (Photo credit: CMC Triggers)

The CMC Triggers Goldfinger is a single-stage trigger, meaning it requires one smooth pull of the trigger to release the hammer and fire the gun. It’s designed as a drop-in cassette, so the entire unit is self-contained, making installation extremely simple.

This particular design features a flat bow so the shooter can rest their finger easily on the trigger shoe for a consistent pull which, in turn, increases accuracy and precision. The trigger pull weight is set at the factory for 3.5 pounds and is not user adjustable. It takes small pins, which covers most AR-style rifles and pistols with the exceptions of Colts, although for Colts manufactured prior to 1991 or after 2009 small pins will work.

“CMC Triggers is the original manufacturer of the Drop-in Trigger Group for the AR-15 and AR-10 rifle since 2003. CMC’s critical sear engagement surfaces have a proprietary machining process that renders superior surface finish and dimensional control. As compared to their competition, the techniques used to establish a 1-2 RMS surface finish as opposed to EDMing which leaves a pitty 32 RMS, compared to a mirror which is 0 RMS.”

They went on to say, “CMC’s innovative, self-contained and easy-to-install AR-15 trigger groups, have been completely re-tooled to maximize production capacities, incorporate new design enhancements and reduce cost. CMC’s AR-15 trigger groups have always yielded exceptional trigger pull dynamics for our tens of thousands of satisfied customers.”
