Grand Island, NE – Hornady® Manufacturing is pleased to announce the Rapid Rack™ empty chamber indicator and load assist device. This innovative product allows those on patrol or in their home to keep their long gun ready with a fully charged magazine and an empty chamber.

Available in three sizes: AR-15, AR-10 and select 12 gauge shotguns, its red lever/handle visually displays an empty chamber, but is made ready in seconds. When ready, shoulder the gun and pull the Rapid Rack™ lever straight back, simultaneously allowing it to fall to the ground while the firearm’s fully charged bolt springs forward to feed a round into the chamber.

The Rapid Rack will be available from stocking dealers, major retail sporting goods stores and their websites, or on hornady.com. Dealers can be found by visiting the Retail Locator on hornady.com.
