Mesa Tactical, provider of high quality tactical accessories and gear to law enforcement, the military and civilian shooters, has announced the introduction of a SureShell on-gun shotshell carrier system for the new Kel-Tec KSG bullpup shotgun. Available in four-, six-, eight- and twelve-shell configurations, the Mesa Tactical SureShell Shotshell Carrier and Rail systems for the KSG are machined from aircraft aluminum and also feature accessory mount points for on-gun weapon lights and lasers. Mesa Tactical is one of the first suppliers of aftermarket accessories for this innovative new platform. The SureShell carrier system comprises a replacement anodized aluminum Picatinny optics rail which supports one or two machined shell carrier yokes. Small aluminum flanges on either side of the main rail can accept additional lengths of Picatinny rail to support weapon lights or targeting lasers. The accessory Picatinny rails can be mounted on one or both sides of the shell carrier assembly. A pair of unique steel recoil blocks featuring angled set screws ensure the rail assembly is securely mounted to the shotgun. www.mesatactical.com.

]]> Kel-Tec’s KSG https://sadefensejournal.com/kel-tecs-ksg/ Wed, 11 Jan 2012 20:59:34 +0000 http://sadefensejournal.com/wp/?p=853 Kel-Tec has just announced the introduction of its new bullpup-style shotgun called the KSG.  This previously rumored shotgun is now a reality.  The KSG is their first entry into the shotgun market.  The size, shape and design are similar to the currently available Kel-Tec RFB rifle, but the KSG ejects downward, instead of forward.  The KSG weighs 6.9 pounds and is as compact as legally possible with a 26.1 inch overall length and an 18.5 inch cylinder bore barrel.  Even with this compact size, the internal dual tube magazines hold an impressive 15 rounds of 12 gauge 2-3/4 inch rounds (7 per tube and 1 in the chamber).  The simple and reliable pump action feeds from either the left or right tube.  The feed side is manually selected by a lever located just behind the trigger guard.  The lever can be positioned in the center detent in order to easily clear the chamber without feeding another round from either magazine or to load single specialty rounds.  A cross bolt style safety blocks the sear, and the pump release lever is located in front of the trigger guard.  The pump includes an under Picatinny rail for the mounting of a forward grip, light or laser.  The included top Picatinny sight rail will accept many types of optics or iron sights.  Forward and rear sling loops are built in, and a basic sling is included.  The soft rubber butt pad helps to tame recoil.  Retail price has not been set as of this writing but is said to be in the $800 range.  (keltecweapons.com)
