LaserLyte TLB-RT
LaserLyte, innovators in firearm laser technologies, have developed a new interactive target system with dual modes for reaction and training; the Reaction Tyme Target, TLB-RT. This new laser training system comes with two (2) targets for more realistic training scenarios. Each target works independently of each other providing the user a variety of scenarios from near-to-far or left-to-right shooting. The interactive system works in two modes; reaction and training. The reaction mode features random LED signals in intervals of three to seven seconds that can be shot with any of the LaserLyte Trainers. When a hit is made the target celebrates with two beeps and a LED flash. The training mode allows the user to practice trigger control and accuracy with an always-on and ready-to-be-shot mode. When a hit is made, the target sounds two beeps and the LED flash. The LaserLyte Reaction Tyme Target allow for new and experienced shooters to gain increased levels of confidence and skills in the comfort of their own home while saving money on ammunition. The twin targets provide an active training session that can be set-up in a variety of ways. Any of the LaserLyte Trainers work with the TLB-RT including the LT-PRO, LT-1 and the LaserLyte Trainer Cartridges in .223, .380, 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP.

HC Mags HC3R
HC Mags has just introduced a new high capacity magazine for the Ruger 10/22 series of rifles and Charger 10/22 pistols. The new magazines hold a whopping total of 45 rounds of .22 Long Rifle ammunition on board with the added benefit of being able to reload the magazine via a stripper clip type device they call the “Rib-Clip.” The magazine is called the HC3R (HC Rapid Rifle Reload) and comes with two of the rib-clips. The rib-clip actually becomes part of the fully loaded magazine. The HC3R is made from a high impact formulated composite resin body with stainless steel feed lips. The body is made from two halves that are held together with stainless steel fasteners so the magazine can be taken apart and cleaned unlike other magazines that have plastic, glued-together bodies. The mag also features a thumb assist that is attached to the follower to allow for easy, single round loading. The new magazine is the same size as other magazines that only hold 30 rounds. The HC3R accomplishes this by holding 25 rounds in a single stack in the center of the mag and another 20 rounds in an ammo pocket on the left side of the mag. These loose rounds are held in place by the installed rib-clip. To load the HC3R you simply drop 20 rounds into the ammo pocket on the side of the magazine, pull the thumb assist down to the bottom and turn it 1/4 turn to lock the follower in the down position. You then drop 20 more rounds into the rib-clip and lock it into place from the back of the mag body. The follower is released and is allowed to push the original 20 rounds up to the feed lips. Then 5 more rounds can be hand loaded into the magazine. After the first 25 rounds are fired, just unsnap the rib clip, which is now empty, and slide it over the loose rounds in the side ammopocket just like loading a stripper clip. The rib-clip is then locked into the mag body, the follower unlocked and you have another 20 rounds ready to be fired. Additional rib-clips can be purchased and stored pre-loaded in you pocket or pack. The description sounds a lot more complicated than it really is and this is a very high quality magazine. In testing, this editor also used the magazine in a full-auto, post sample 10/22 and it worked flawlessly at a cyclic rate of over 1,400 rounds per minute. www.hcmags.com.

JFT Assets Rapid Load Ammunition Mount
There is now a new mounting system for any weapon that mounts using a MK64 or MK93 type carriage/cradle. The new mount is called the Rapid Load Ammunition Mount and is available from JFT Assets. The Rapid Load Ammunition Mounts are made from 3/16 A-36 steel, with a self contained spring latch and with hardened 5/8 pin (same mounting face as the currently used 40mm universal ammunition mount). The JFT mount uses 4140 hardened tool steel mounting pegs, slightly larger diameter, which is tapped to thread into the threaded mounting plate, with backup nut, which makes the mounting pegs easily replaceable. The face plate mounting bolt is a grade 8 hardened 3/8 bolt threaded in from the back, which is also easily replaceable, with a hardened oversized nut for easy hand tightening. The V4 and V5 have a 45 degree top bevel for easy ammo box loading. The V5 has a separate mounting face plate that utilizes 5 contact points instead of the normal 3, which allows for better weight distribution but still allows the mount to be relocated for the M2 .50 cal., or the MK 19 grenade launcher. The newest model, the Rapid Load Short .50, has hardened hinges; with hardened 3/8 square pin slam latches, for fast and easy access. Both doors are also easily removable for cleaning and the doors have been tested by cycling them between 1,300 and 1,400 times each without a malfunction. All versions come with HDPE plastic wear plates that are easily replaceable, and if completely removed will still function properly. The Rapid Load Short 50 also is available with an adapter plate and longer latch release pin to accommodate two .30 caliber ammunition cans for use with the M240. The mounting pegs, bolts, and nuts, can also be threaded for metric sizes, to accommodate foreign applications. The face plate can be modified to fit other weapons’ mounts at an additional cost, and time for redesigning. For more information please contact JFT Assets on the web at www.jftassets.com.
