THE WRAPTOR ELITE FOREND

The Wraptor Elite Forend for Remington® 870 and Mossberg® 500, 88 & 590 pump action shotguns allows the user a comfortable grip and the ability to add lasers, lights and other accessories using the included Picatinny rails. The forend doubles as a heat shield and comes with an integrated patented “sight tunnel” allowing the user to rapidly attain a sight picture for faster target acquisition. MSRP is $49.99.

THE TAC-HAMMER PRECISION BARREL

The new Tac-Hammer Rigid Core Post Tension Barrel is available for Ruger® 10/22, 10/22 Takedown, Charger and Charger Takedown. The Tac-Hammer Package includes a barrel, cantilevered optic rail and front threaded compensator. The barrel delivers the benefits of a bull barrel’s larger diameter and related stiffness – greater accuracy and repeatability of shot – without the added weight. It accomplishes this through a rigid-core, stepped barrel design encased within a post-tension, aluminum shroud. MRSP is $329.

KRYPTEK® CAMO

Buyers of Adaptive Tactical’s Sidewinder SE Kits, Sidewinder Magazines and EX Performance Stocks are now able to order their gear in Kryptek® Camo. Kryptek®’s patterns are unique and remarkably effective. Unlike most camouflage patterns that only work at close distances, Kryptek® provides concealment when seen from long range. The Sidewinder Venom™ Kit with 10-Round Box Magazine and Wraptor Forend is an at-home installation kit that transforms your Mossberg® 590, 500 and 88 series 12-gauge pump action shotgun into a 10-round box magazine fed, smooth operating, fast cycling, tactical shotgun.

“We take pride in our products and really think you’re going to like what we have in store for NASGW, give us a visit,” said Gary Cauble, director of sales and marketing for Adaptive Tactical.
