With the untimely passing of John Noveske in a car accident last 4 January, Noveske Rifleworks, according to Sheri in this video decided not to attend the SHOT Show 2013 to mourn the passing and conduct a company transition without their founder. They want to work on improving the company beyond what John himself had imagined. As to why this video is NSFW, watch it carefully. But we applaud the people in the company determined to carry on the work and culture that John established.

Definitely a lot of people were looking forward to what Magpul will announce during the SHOT Show 2013, and they did not disappoint as they announced a load of new products such as PMAG Gen M3 Magazines, new MOE and MIAD Grips, a fixed MOE Stock for those who prefer such a buttstock for the rifles, shotgun accessories, the RSA and MSA slings.
