Chamber-View has been acquired by Doug Koenig’s company X-Ring Productions effective June 16, 2017. Chamber-View is a Nashua, NH, based manufacturer of visual firearm safety products for shotguns, rifles using the AR-platform, and also pistols. Established in 2011, X-Ring Productions focuses on entrepreneurial product acquisition business ventures in the outdoor recreational industry.

Designed by founder Ned Bitsack in 2013, Chamber-View empty chamber indicators are molded from blaze orange silicone. Once inserted into the action, the indicator enhances firearm safety, reduces accidental closings of the action and prevents debris contaminating the ejector port, magazine and barrel. Their unique design fits multiple calibers, is resistant to cleaning chemicals and non-marring to the internal and external surfaces of the firearm.

Koenig said, “As a professional shooter, hunter and father, I have always emphasized and advocated firearm safety when handling any type of firearm.” The 18-time NRA Bianchi Cup Champion added, “Carrying on Ned’s vision to ensure firearm enthusiasts own and use this multi-function indicator is my mission and commitment to the shooting sports community.”
