20 SHOOTING SPORTS MAGAZINE
GENERAL | THE 2015 BRITISH SHOOTING SHOW
N
eal Parnham at SRC always has
something new and it seems he had
a highly productive time at SHOT this
year. Unfortunately much of this just missed
the show, so I didn’t get to handle Walther’s
new .22LR H&K G36 clone, or the ZK-
10/22 stock from Akly’s Defense.
You may have seen a prototype version
of the latter on the Sons of Guns TV show,
but SRC's are an all-new model with
improvements that include a left-handed
case defl ector, closer tolerances and a
higher standard of fi nish. You can have it in
standard FDE, OD or BLACK, or your choice
of Cerakote colours or dipped fi nishes too!
The Titan 22 (Victor Company USA) is an
ambidextrous target/tactical stock for the
Ruger 10/22. Packed with features it shows
a straight comb, upright grip, widened
mag-well to allow magazines to drop free,
broad beavertail forearm with moulded
stippling. A generous barrel channel handles
up to 0.920" O.D and it has twin, QD
ambidextrous sling attachment points on
each side, and a butt hook. It’s made from
an ‘ultra-rigid’, engineering-grade fi breglass
composite with a hardened aluminium
‘Anchor Lock’ bedding system. The stock
comes with 2 sling swivels, in a choice of
black or FDE, and with an optional mini
Picatinny rail. The Titan 22 has real
presence, and priced at just £200 or so, it’s
sure to be a big hit with 10/22 fans.
Other news from SRC is that they now
carry the full range of LaRue stocks, grips,
mounts and other rifl e accessories. This is
good news, as LaRue make top-quality gear,
and it has previously been hard to source
affordably in the UK.MORE BLACK RIFLES
Also good for tactical mounts are Thomas
Jacks – yes, the night-vision specialists! -
now the UK distributor for Samson
Manufacturing Corp.. Samson’s catalogue
lists many great products, including some
supremely-practical, precisely-machined and
beautifully-fi nished alloy mounts at a great
price.
Just along the row was another treat for
black-rifl e fans. Andrew Cooney of the East
Midlands Regional Range (EMRR), who
already sells CMMG’s .22LR semi-auto
AR-type rifl es, can now offer a centrefi re
straight-pull version, the Mk4 T. With prices
starting at just £1,200 they should do well!
EMRR has just struck a deal with Archangel
Manufacturing to sell their range of polymer
after-market rifl e stocks in the UK. I’ve
already got one on my Remington 597 and
really like it! Models are also available for
10/22s, Ruger Mini 14s, Mosin Nagants,and most recently for Remington 700s. If
that wasn’t enough, by the time you read
this, Andy should also have taken delivery of
his fi rst consignment of tactical rifl e stocks
from Canadian fi rm Cadex Defence. These
have been seen on RPA tactical rifl es before,
but EMRR’s adoption is sure to take their
visibility and availability to another level.
Watch out too for news of a new EMRR rifl e
range that will bring a fresh dimension to rifl e
shooting in the Midlands.
Moving along, I passed the Hera Arms
stand. I know them as a maker of chassisJules Whicker and Chris Parkin give us their individual takes on Britain’s most hot
