This week on TGC News, Zenith drops dead weight, new Wilson Combat long guns and a firearm
from Nighthawk!
Welcome back to another episode of TGC News, the only gun news show that covers things
you actually care about, My name is Jon Patton.
Before we get into today's show, I want to share another set of awesome giveaways with
you guys.
This time we're working with our friends at NeoMag, you've seen the Not A Review we did
on them.
Well, now you can win a neomag and a sweet neomag t-shirt by going to the link in the
video description.
There will be one winner each week for the next 4 weeks.
Check it out!
One more thing, this week's show was recorded on Thursday of last week because as you're
watching this I am just getting back from the annual YouTuber shoot in GA put on by
the IV8888 crew.
So if I'm missing anything that got released between now and then, you know why.
Now the news, first up, you might be familiar with Zenith firearms as they kind of exploded
onto the scene with their HK lookalike guns a couple years back.
They were quick to expand on importations with the addition of some sub brands like
Tisas, Girsan and Tedna.
All of which were guns that were super affordable but not exactly what I would call high end.
Either way, the CEO of Zenith recently stated that they will be kind of refocusing their
efforts and concentrating on only the roller delayed blowback guns AKA the stuff that got
them where they are.
I totally understand this move.
The guys working here on the US side of things were a small team and trying to manage all
of that AND market it and keep up with all the paperwork, etc etc.
It had to be a massive amount of stuff to manage.
Realigning the focus will hopefully allow them to step into their stride with a little
more strength and hopefully keep the guns coming.
For reference, The HK SP5K which is the latest US Legal MP5 sibling from HK has an MSRP of
2699, whereas the zenith Z5's, which are just as good as the HK, have MSRPs about 700 - 950
dollars less.
And on top of that, Zenith offers way more configurations of that core gun.
Now if you are looking to snag up some of the guns they are ditching, they apparently
sold all the remaining inventory to CDNN and there's some solid deals to be had.
I know the Zenith roller lock guns are NOT cheap in comparison to things like AR style
pistol caliber carbines or AR15's and the like, BUT I still want to know how many of
you are into that sort of thing?
Sound off in the comments if you think focusing on a single type of gun is a good or bad thing.
And in more guns we can't afford news, Wilson Combat has just announced the addition of
3 new rifles aimed at the hunter with cash to burn.
Now they're more known for their custom 1911's but they do know how to put together a nice
long gun as well.
First in the batch of new AR10's is the Ultralight Hunter.
These can be had in 308, 338 Federal or 358 Winchester.
They all come with a 16 inch non fluted barrel and have a 12.6 MLOK rail, a sweet carbon
fiber buttstock, a Wilson Combat 2 stage trigger among some other trick parts.
They also come standard with an intermediate length gas system and utilize an adjustable
gas block.
Certainly to combat the varying loads across brands of ammo and cartridges that weren't
originally designed for gas guns.
The next gun in the line is the Ultimate Hunter, which features either an 18, 20 or 22 inch
barrel depending on whether you get the previously mentioned cartridges or the additional 6.5
creedmoor offering.
It's very similar to the Ultralight but offers a slightly longer gas system and slightly
longer barrels.
And rounding out the line is the Tactical Hunter.
There are a lot more options with this one.
They're available in 7mm-08, 308, 338 federal, 6.5 creedmoor and 260 remington.
They Are available with 18 or 20 inch fluted and non fluted barrels again depending on
cartridge and instead of the carbon fiber stock, it utilizes an adjustable buttstock.
All 3 of these rifles will come standard with the paintjob as you see them pictured.
Now here's the damage, the Ultralight has a base price of 3295, the Ultimate is 3345,
and the tactical rounds things out with 3145 for the non fluted and 50 bucks more for the
fluted version.
Ouch.
Now of course, you could build your own AR10 and get something with similar parts and you
may even save a couple bucks, but then again, you wouldn't be able to rely on the build
quality of Wilson Combat if you did that.
And AR10 style rifles are a slightly different beast than AR15's so definitely be cautious
if that's the route you end up going.
And because I didn't hurt your wallet enough this week, here's another one that will set
you back from a different custom 1911 builder.
Nighthawk Custom has introduced the Tomahawk which their version of the shockwave/tac-14/it's
not a shotgun but it's chambered in 12ga craze that's happening these days.
Long story short, they're rocking a hogue overmolded pistol grip and forend, a vangcomp
ported 16 inch barrel with back-boring which is designed to give better and more consistent
patterning down range.
It has a 4 round side saddle, a front bead sight and an enlarged safety button.
I believe Nighthawk is utilizing the 870 receiver and action from Remington and essentially
tuning them up like normal.
We've talked about the shockwave and tac-14 a little bit here on the show but for those
that missed it, essentially, because the gun is under a certain overall length AND it was
never technically a shotgun according to gun regulations, it's considered a firearm.
That is also the same reason it does not fall into the purview of the NFA.
On Nighthawks website there's a section that says they have a letter but it is not posted.
Either way for a whopping 1395 dollars, it better be awesome.
Man this week's show is chock full of silly expensive guns haha.
A couple updates for you guys regarding us here at TGC.
First things first, I know a lot of you were very upset by what the NRA had to say regarding
bump stocks.
We have a way for you to contact them very easily on the TGC website.
Just go to theguncollective.com/nra and you can contact anyone on the current NRA board.
That being said, you need to be a member of the organization or you don't get a say in
what they do haha.
Another thing, I had been asked by a bunch of people to create a patreon page for TGC
and I was a bit reluctant to do that.
We have some great industry partners and I didn't want to detract from them, so this
will be the only time I mention it.
If you want to support TGC directly on Patreon.
Follow the link in the description below to do that.
We seriously do appreciate all of you for even watching, so anything more than that
is incredible!
