G2 RESEARCH ANNOUNCES NEW TRIDENT RIPOUT 7.62 X 39 AMMUNITION

G2 Research announces a specialized new 7.62×39 mm AK/SKS round for hunting and self-defense use. The G2 Research 7.62×39 Ripout Round is engineered to deliver serious penetration and produce a huge temporary and permanent wound even at the lower velocities inherent of this round (about 2,270 fps). G2’s 124-grain, CNC machined pure premium copper bullet expands (or, more accurately, opens up) into three large petals (tridents) of razor-edged copper making a corkscrew-cutting chunk of hot, sharp metal about the diameter of a quarter; big by any account. The design construction keeps the bullet intact, creating excellent penetration and a massive wound channel, resulting in quick and humane big game kills in this loading. It’s very efficient as a bush country hunting round and it is also suppressor-friendly. Whether it’s the humble SKS, the popular AK-47 or new model short-throw bolt-action rifles chambered in this popular caliber, if it’s low-recoil, accuracy and near-instant game killing performance one wants, the 7.62×39 Ripout Round is at the performance peak.

ATN DEBUTS LATEST OTS THERMAL MONOCULAR LINE

ATN, innovators of advanced night vision, thermal imaging and digital Smart HD optics for hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, military and law enforcement, is pleased to introduce the OTS-X Series of Thermal Imaging cameras. Made in the USA, the OTS-X Series provides users with an adaptable and high quality thermal vision solution with 0.5x magnification. Designed to be versatile, compact, lightweight yet rugged, this thermal viewer can be easily carried in a cargo pocket for law enforcement and sportsmen alike. The OTS-X Series uniqueness lies within its customizable lenses. With most thermal vision devices, and even with most night vision devices, the lens and magnification level that the scope provides when purchased will be the lens and magnification that are permanently in the scope. This does not hold true for the OTS-X as it features interchangeable lenses. This means that if the user buys a close quarters scope, but later on decides that he or she needs a longer range device, the user would not have to buy a brand new thermal imaging camera, but rather just a new lens for the scope they already own. This customizability saves the user money and storage space. In addition, the OTS-X is designed to ergonomically fit in the user’s hand with an easy-to-use control system and an icon based menu to make adjustments and color mode changes simple. All OTS-X devices are available with an optional video out cord, which transforms the viewer into a hand-held camcorder for easy recording and output from the thermal camera.

CZ-USA INTRODUCES CARBINE VERSIONS OF THE SKORPION AND BREN PISTOLS

CZ-USA INTRODUCES CARBINE VERSIONS OF THE SKORPION AND BREN PISTOLS

Following the introduction last year of the Skorpion EVO pistol and the Bren 805 pistol, this year CZ-USA has introduced carbine versions of these two guns. Available in two variants, the Scorpion Carbine is a whole new animal. Building on the lauded submachine gun platform that first hit the US civilian market in pistol form in 2015, the Carbine has a 16.2” barrel fitted with either a compensating muzzle brake or a faux suppressor built specifically for CZ-USA by SilencerCo. Fit with the factory’s folding adjustable stock, the Carbine features a number of US-made parts to make it fully 922® compliant. One of the nicest features of the firearm is the newly-designed forend, covered in M-LOK attachment points to keep the profile slim while still being big enough to swallow most pistol-caliber suppressors should the owner decide down the road to convert it into an SBR for use with a suppressor. Low-profile aluminum adjustable sights round out the platform, and a top Picatinny rail allows the mounting of a wide number of optics. Simple and reliable, the Scorpion not only has ambidextrous controls, its non-reciprocating charging handle is swappable and reach to the trigger is adjustable.

Carrying on the Scorpion’s reputation as a reliable pistol-caliber plinker without breaking the bank, the Carbine starts at just $999. For those who would prefer to own a Bren in rifle form without having to jump through all the hoops of converting our pistol version into an SBR, the Bren is now available in carbine form with a 16.2” barrel. Equipped with the factory’s folding adjustable stock, it also has a new set of flip-up adjustable iron sights. Chambered in .223/5.56×45 and using the ubiquitous STANAG magazine from the AR15/M16, it easily accepts optics and lights on its top and bottom Picatinny rails. An effective two-port muzzle brake helps keep the Bren solidly on target and reduces recoil and muzzle flip. All of the new models will now be available in flat dark earth as well as black. Check them out at www.cz-usa.com.

NEW CQB PDW STOCK FROM MAXIM DEFENSE

NEW CQB PDW STOCK FROM MAXIM DEFENSE

Maxim Defense has just released a new super compact CQB PDW Stock that is one of the shortest available for the AR-15/ M-16 style of weapons. The new stock is made from 7075 aluminum alloy with 3/8 black nitride steel guide rods for strength and stability. One of the best features of this stock is that it uses a JP Rifles Compact Silent Capture Spring which is included with the stock. This spring and buffer system allows the host gun to use its original bolt carrier group so now the user doesn’t have to use a modified carrier. This allows the rifle that you are using it in to be disassembled in the normal “pivot open” way instead of having to remove both take down pins and then slide the upper and lower receivers apart. The stock has a textured butt-pad and weighs just a bit over 18 ounces. It offers 4 positions with the closed position measuring only 5.3 inches and the fully open position measuring only 10 inches. The stock also comes with set screws so it with always open to a preset position. It is very comfortable to shoot with and extended cheek piece and it will fit on any mil-spec AR lower receiver. The stock also has 2 QD sockets for sling mounting. For more information you can find them at www.maximdefense.com.

NEW SHOTGUN SUPPRESSOR FROM UTAS

NEW SHOTGUN SUPPRESSOR FROM UTAS

UTAS has just introduced their new Octave 12 shotgun silencer. The new silencer comes in at half the weight, a full 1 inch shorter and about 1/3 the cost of the only other 12 gauge suppressor on the market today. The new UTAS Octave is a carbon fiber wrapped 12 suppressor that can quiet a shotguns muzzle blast down to around 135 decibels. The new Octave suppressor muffles a shotguns blast by using a core of specially designed fibrous insulation made from volcanic rock that’s both heat and flame resistant.

NEW HARTMAN MH1 REFLEX SIGHT

NEW HARTMAN MH1 REFLEX SIGHT

Hartman Ltd., a new innovative optics company, is proud to announce the ultimate red dot reflex sight: the MH1. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of worldwide armed forces, law enforcement and sportsman alike, the MH1 Reflex Sight is unlike any red dot reflex sight ever created. The MH1 breaks new ground in field of view, reticle design, quick reaction, user interface and battery efficiency. The patent pending advanced red dot sight offers the largest field of view through the sight, instantly improving target acquisition and situational awareness in day and night scenarios. The MH1 produces a near “0” parallax increasing accuracy. The unique reticle helps keep the firearm on a vertical plane using balancing lines at 3 and 9 o’clock with a centered red dot. The reticle also always stays on target independently of the operator’s eye location in the MH1 window. The MH1’s innovative design allows operators to attach additional magnifiers or night vision devices behind the sight. Once attached, the operator will not have any difficulty accessing the controls of the MH1 for both left and right-hand shooters.

For operators in the field, battery use and preservation is critical to mission success. The MH1 offers a different approach to battery consumption from other reflex sights. T he sight charges via a USB rechargeable battery plugged into any wall socket, computer or lighter. A single backup CR123 battery installed provides extended battery life. Additionally, the MH1’s sleep mode and dual 30 degree motion sensors only activate the sight when a shooting movement occurs, greatly enhancing battery life. The MH1 red dot reflex sight is built to MIL-STD-810F and designed to perform in the most challenging environments. A composite reinforced polymer housing protects the interior technologies and a forged aviation grade aluminum QD mount and base keep the MH1 operating under the most extreme conditions. The sight is pressure filled with nitrogen gas and fully sealed to prevent fogging or dust from entering the sight. The outer surfaces of the window have been specially coated to produce high clarity with no mirror like reflection from the objective side of the sight that would give away the user’s position, an extremely valuable benefit for law enforcement and military personnel. Options for the MH1 include a custom user interface that allows the user to reprogram some of the MH1’s features and customize the sight for various sleep mode activation time and reticle brightness levels, motion sensors and more. Another option is the ambidextrous infrared push-to-transmit (PTT) strap, making the MH1 the only remote-controlled reflex sight. The PTT activates the sight and controls reticle brightness levels (10 levels – 5 for day and 5 for night). It allows the user to control the sight without disengaging the supporting hand from the weapon, thus always remaining ready and reducing critical reaction time. The new Hartman MH1 Reflex Sight is available in black, tan or green with an RETAIL PRICE of $650.00. The optional remote control strap (PTT) has an RETAIL PRICE of $49.95. Contact them at

CMMG INTRODUCES NEW MK47 KRINK MODELS

CMMG INTRODUCES NEW MK47 KRINK MODELS

CMMG has unveiled the Mk47 line-up featuring a KRINK-style muzzle device. Similar to the original Mk47 MUTANT design, these new rifles are built around the 7.62x39mm caliber and feature a shortened AR-10 sized bolt carrier group that is paired with a unique upper and lower receiver to minimize weight and increase ergonomics. One of the primary benefits of the Mk47 design is its ability to accept existing AK magazines and drums. The new Mk47 models come equipped with the KRINK muzzle device. These new KRINK models include the Mk47 AKS8 AR Pistol, Mk47 AKS8 SBR (short-barreled rifle) and Mk47 AKS13 rifle. The KRINK-style muzzle-brake design was derived from an AK, which they modified to thread on standard AR threads. It serves as a booster, flash suppressor, blast reducer and also reduces recoil slightly.

The Mk47 AKS8 SBR (all NFA rules apply) has an 8-inch barrel with a 9-inch RKM KeyMod™ Handguard, a Magpul CTR Buttstock and Magpul MOE Pistol Grip. It comes with a CMMG single-stage trigger and one Magpul AK PMAG. The full-sized Mk47 AKS13 has a 13-inch barrel with the KRINK muzzle device pinned and welded permanently to the end of the barrel to meet the 16” requirement for Title 1 Firearms. It features a 15-inch RKM KeyMod™ handguard, a Magpul CTR Buttstock and MOE Pistol Grip. It comes with a CMMG single-stage trigger pre-installed and one Magpul AK PMAG.

NEW CIVIC DUTY SELF-DEFENSE AMMUNITION

NEW CIVIC DUTY SELF-DEFENSE AMMUNITION

G2 Research Inc., introduces its NEW Civic Duty round for serious self- defense. Designed to reliably and quickly expand to 2.5 times its caliber, this new round delivers incredible attack stopping energy, large wound area and excellent penetration. A “humble” 100-grain 9mm Civic Duty bullet will open up to 0.855 inches, creating a near-instant fight-stopping wound by effectively delivering all of its energy inside the target. The Civic Duty bullet is a solid copper, CNC-machined bullet that upon entering the target immediately begins expansion as a large hollow point. At initial contact, six large petals of the jacket peel back to create a fight-stopping wound. Unlike conventional hollow point bullets, which may not expand reliably due to clothing filling up the hollow point, the Civic Duty will indeed reliably open up because of its peeling petal design. The Civic Duty round is currently available in 9mm and a .45ACP round will be on the market in the near future. The Civic Duty round is designed to function exceptionally well at lower velocities (.45 ACP) and at higher velocities (such as the 9mm at 1,230+ fps). The lighter bullet weight greatly reduces felt recoil and muzzle flip, making for faster and more accurate follow up shots-if necessary. Priced at $41.99 for a box of 20, this is no low-cost plinking round. Then again, low-cost rounds are not made on CNC machines. The Civic Duty round is designed to stop a fight quickly and sometimes you must ask yourself: “Is my life worth two bucks a shot?” Find more information at www.G2Rammo.com.

FEDERAL ANNOUNCES AMERICAN EAGLE LINE OF SUPPRESSOR AMMUNITION

FEDERAL ANNOUNCES AMERICAN EAGLE LINE OF SUPPRESSOR AMMUNITION

As suppressed firearms have gained popularity not only for deployment but for competition, hunting and range use in recent years, Federal Premium Ammunition has turned down the volume without sacrificing performance with its lineup of American Eagle® Suppressor ammunition. Specifically designed for use in suppressed firearms, these subsonic rounds (available in .22 LR, 9mm, .45 Auto and 300 AAC Blackout) are priced for volume shooting and they give users an even more accurate, economical and enjoyable round of competition or day at the range. Federal American Eagle Suppressor ammunition delivers superior accuracy, reliability and cleanliness in suppressed firearms, thanks to carefully selected propellants, bullet weights and profiles.

The side folding assembly is released by depressing a small, low profile button and locks in place folded against the shooter’s left side of the chassis body. For left handed shooters, the assembly can be reversed to allow the stock to fold to the right, opposite the bolt handle. The MPA Rotation Barricade stop has proven itself to be a “game changer” when used to engage barricade type states in long range competitions, locking the rifle into position for rock solid positional performance.

FREEDOM ORDNANCE RELEASES NEW 9MM BELT-FED UPPER FOR ARS & M-16S

FREEDOM ORDNANCE RELEASES NEW 9MM BELT-FED UPPER FOR ARS & M-16S

Freedom Ordnance is now releasing their new FM-9 9mm Belt-Fed AR-15/M-16 Upper Receiver. The new upper offers a quick change barrel system that is rigid and accurate with no tools required to change barrels. You can literally switch barrels in seconds! The new upper uses Freedom Ordnance’s own proprietary disintegrating 9mm links that are designed especially for the 9mm cartridge, not modified military links. The upper is blow-back operated. The complete unit is machined from billet aluminum and ordnance grade steel. It is heat treated and features QPQ nitride finish on all steel parts to give the system extreme durability. The upper will drop on to any mil-spec AR-15 or M-16 lower receiver. A mag block is dropped into the mag well from the top before putting the upper on, this provides an attachment point for the belt bag and houses the ejector. Without the mag block in place, the unit will not function. This is the only “modification” that is done and no tools are required so M-16 lower owners don’t have to modify their precious lowers. It comes standard with the 16.5” barrel and the 11 inch barrel can be ordered as an option. It uses a supplied 150 round belt bag and also comes with 150 links. Extra links can be ordered in bags of 500 or 1000. Watch future issues of SAR for a test and review of this new belt-fed! For more information or to see a video of the new unit go to www.freedomordnance.com.

U.S. MACHINE GUN ARMORY ANNOUNCES THE MGA SAW K

The U.S. Machine Gun Armory, an international provider of multi-caliber military belt-fed machine guns, often referred to as “Squad Automatic Weapons” (SAW), announced it is now in production of its newest model, the MGA SAW K™. The MGA SAW K™, is over 3 inches (80mm) shorter and 5 pounds (3 kg) lighter than a typical SAW, and represents an evolution of the company’s multi-caliber machine gun platform to now include a modular system that allows one base model machine gun to serve as a light CQB system with a short barrel (in all common calibers included a patent-pending 300 Blackout subsonic system), or be fitted with quick attach heavy and long barrels (as well as vehicle mounts if needed) and serve as the typical light and medium machine gun systems known the world over.

The Machine Gun Armory is known for its innovative MGA SAW™ weapons system that is essentially a fully re-engineered and modernized multi-caliber version of the US military issue 5.56mm machine guns. The MGA SAW™ is notable because its parts are fully compatible with the current U.S. military issue guns, yet the company offers many more calibers and configuration options from one base receiver.

HOGUE INTRODUCES TACTICAL THUMBHOLE STOCK FOR 10/22 RIFLES

Hogue, Inc., one of America’s premier manufacturers of firearm grips, rifle stocks, AR components, knives, holsters and gear has more good news for 10/22 owners: the company is now shipping one-piece, OverMolded® “Tactical Thumbhole” style rifle stocks. Featuring a futuristic thumbhole/pistol grip design, an integrated cheek weld, a unique bench stop and a soft rubber butt pad, Hogue’s new thumbhole rifle stock is optimized for quick and comfortable target acquisition with your preferred optic. This new design will have strong appeal to target shooters, varmint hunters and competition shooters alike. The design process for Hogue’s Tactical Thumbhole stock leveraged the company’s considerable experience in competition shooting. From butt pad to forend, the emphasis on ergonomics and function is obvious: the forend is wider and more curvaceous than the company’s “sporter” style rifle stock for more stability when used without a bipod; the pistol grip enables a natural, secure, comfortable grip angle; the cheek weld enhances fast target acquisition through a rifle scope and the bench rest hook opens up different shouldering options depending on the shooting situation. Designed primarily for heavy-barreled (.920-inch diameter) 10/22 rifles, the new stock will also accommodate standard contour barrels. The Tactical Thumbhole rifle stocks are available in Black (MSRP USD $109.95) OD Green, Flat Dark Earth, Ghillie Green, Ghillie Earth or Purple (MSRP USD $129.95 for colors). Like all of Hogue’s rifle stocks, the new Tactical Thumbhole model is constructed using the company’s popular OverMolded® rubber – a durable, comfortable, recoil-taming material that’s impervious to dirt, grime and moisture. Hogue’s Tactical Thumbhole 10/22 stocks are also available for two-piece takedown style 10/22 rifles in both standard and .920-inch diameter barrels.

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc., is excited to announce the introduction of the Ruger Precision Rifle™.

In production now, the Ruger Precision Rifle is available in .308 Win., 6.5 Creedmoor, and .243 Win. The Ruger Precision Rifle incorporates an in-line recoil path directly from the rear of the receiver to the buttstock, eliminating the need for traditional bedding or a “chassis” system, and provides maximum accuracy potential by simplifying the rifle’s response to recoil. The Ruger® Precision MSR stock is adjustable for length of pull and comb height, offering a proper fit over a wide range of shooter sizes, outerwear, and shooting positions. The stock also features multiple QD sling attachment points, a bottom Picatinny rail for monopod attachment, and a soft rubber butt pad. The left-folding stock hinge (which provides access to the bolt) is attached to an AR-style buffer tube and accepts AR-style stocks. The Ruger Precision Rifle features a Multi-Magazine Interface, a patent-pending system that functions interchangeably with side-latching M110/SR25/DPMS/Magpul® magazines and front-latching AI-style magazines. Two 10-round Magpul PMAG® magazines are shipped with each rifle. The medium contour (.75” at the muzzle) barrel features a thread protector over the 5/8”-24 threads, which allow for the fitment of muzzle accessories such as sound suppressors. Barrels can be replaced easily by a competent gunsmith using AR-style wrenches and headspace gauges. An oversized bolt handle is fitted for positive bolt manipulation. The “lower” receiver is precision CNC-machined from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum forging and is Type III hard-coat anodized for maximum durability. The magazine well front is contoured for a positive grip for bracing against shooting supports. The rifle also sports a 20-MOA Picatinny rail secured with four, #8-40 screws for increased long-range elevation capabilities. The Ruger Precision Rifle can easily be configured with AR-style grips, safety selectors and handguards. The rifle is equipped with a Ruger extended trigger-reach AR-style grip, a left-side, 45-degree safety selector, and a Samson Evolution Keymod handguard. A short section of Picatinny rail is provided with the rifle for the fitment of accessories, such as a bipod, and a QD sling cup is also included. The Ruger Marksman Adjustable™ trigger provides a crisp let-off and is externally adjustable with a pull weight range of 2.25 to 5.0 pounds. The hex wrench for the pull weight adjustment provided with the rifle is stored in the bolt shroud, as is a bolt disassembly tool for accessing the striker and striker channel.

STEYR’S SSG CARBON NOW AVAILABLE IN THE U.S.

Steyr Arms has announced that its newest SSG rifle (wearing an advanced carbon fiber stock) has landed in America. Initially introduced at the 2014 SHOT Show, the exceptionally accurate, innovative and moderately-priced SSG Carbon rifle was met with an unprecedented number of orders from the law enforcement community that took 16 months to fill, but the latest shipment of rifles now makes the SSG Carbon available throughout the U.S. Unlike conventional carbon fiber stocks made from woven carbon fabric that often suffer from side-strike structural failures, the SSG Carbon’s stock is made using the same “chipped-carbon” Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) construction used to create load-bearing structures in Formula 1 race cars and high-performance aircraft. The SSG Carbon’s chipped-carbon flakes combine thermally with the binding agent to form the SMC for a distinctive appearance to the stock, but like the spirals on the rifle’s cold-hammer-forged barrel, they aren’t just there for looks. The carbon chips interlock with each other to create an unparalleled tension net that is superior to steel in every direction, yet weighing only a fraction compared to steel or aluminum. Due to the unique recoil absorption properties of its SMC technology, the SSG Carbon is surprisingly lightweight, and its recoil absorption is unmatched. Utilizing the same barreled action and muzzle brake as the famed SSG 08, the SSG Carbon is based on Steyr’s Safe Bolt System (SBS) action, and it utilizes its direct trigger, legendary for its crisp, clean and repeatable break. A detachable box magazine functions either as a constant-feed magazine or it can be placed in a second position that acts as a magazine cutoff to single-feed the rifle over the top of a loaded magazine. The stock of the SSG Carbon has multiple mounting points for sling attachments. It also features an adjustable cheek piece, an adjustable butt plate, rubber-wrapped pistol grip, a heavy bipod and an integrated finely adjustable rear-elevation pod. The cold-hammer-forged barrel measures 20 inches and features a twist rate of 1:10. The suggested retail price is USD $3,695. Go to www.steyrarms.com for more information.

Lehigh Defense Teams With Underwood Ammunition on .458 SOCOM

Lehigh Defense Teams With Underwood Ammunition on .458 SOCOM

Lehigh Defense teams up with Underwood Ammunition to offer one of the most exciting lines of .458 SOCOM ammunition on the market. Underwood Ammunition is known for their high performance ammunition. Their ammunition is manufactured with absolute care during the loading process to ensure consistent quality and each round is individually sight inspected before being packaged. Underwood Ammunition strives to provide you with the finest precision ammo available and take pride in delivering a product you can be confident in at a price you can afford. By teaming up with Lehigh Defense, Underwood is now able to offer the world’s most advanced projectile technologies in their precision ammunition. Underwood’s expanded line of .458 SOCOM ammunition includes Lehigh Defense’s Controlled Fracturing Technology as well as their Xtreme Penetrator technology. Controlled Fracturing Technology produces a minimum of four separate wound channels resulting in extensive damage. The bullets are CNC machined from solid copper or brass, not formed or swaged. This makes for exceptional accuracy from the advanced manufacturing process. The Deep penetrating projectile produces razor sharp petals for maximum terminal performance. Expansion is initiated by hydraulic energy – expansion only where it is required. Why Xtreme Penetrator Technology? It uses a progressive nose geometry for deep, straight penetration plus it is CNC machined from solid copper to overcome barriers to penetration. The radial flutes force the hydraulic energy inward to build pressure. The ammunition also has exceptional acceleration that creates high pressure energy spikes. There is minimal surface area to increase the force at the point of contact and sharp cutting edges that defeat barriers. It creates a permanent wound cavity that is 2 to 4 times greater than flat or ball nose bullets and is available for both handguns and rifles.

Steiner Introduces “Intelligent” Combat Sight (ICS)

Steiner’s new “Intelligent” Combat Sight (ICS) integrates a laser rangefinder and a ballistic calculator into a rugged and compact tactical weapons sight. The ICS, a true electro-optical aiming device, provides trajectory compensation by automatically calculating the point of aim based on ammunition ballistics, measured distance and angle to the target out to 800 meters. The precision of the 6x40mm ICS greatly increases accuracy and first round hit probability for improved battlefield effectiveness for infantry soldiers and tactical operators using small caliber weapons. Just feed the ICS your cartridge’s ballistic info and the scope’s computer and inclinometer instantly calculate perfect hold-over at your exact distance and gives you a bright red dot in seconds – all at the push of a button. Despite its sophisticated technology, the ICS is a ruggedized, simple to operate combat optic that requires minimal training. While the magnification is optimized for the 7.62x51mm Battle Rifle, the ICS’s internal ballistic calculator is easily configurable for specific 5.56mm, .300 Blackout and .300 WinMag cartridges. The 6x40mm ICS is fully adjustable for windage and 120 MOA of elevation, and the illuminated reticle adjusts from dim to bright for daylight conditions. A Picatinny base on top of the ICS allows for the addition of a CQB sight, and a back-up iron sight on the right side provides an auxiliary sighting option. The sight is powered by one CR123A battery and the Class I Eye Safe laser and is waterproof up to 10 m. Find more at www.steiner-optics.com.

Faxon Firearms Adds New 7.62x39 Kit to ARAK-21 Platform

Faxon Firearms Adds New 7.62×39 Kit to ARAK-21 Platform

Faxon Firearms, manufacturer of the innovative ARAK platform, is proud to announce the addition of the 7.62×39 Russian caliber to its offerings for the ARAK-21. This addition will allow the user the added advantage of a larger caliber round and less expensive ammunition for more range time. This system makes the ARAK-21 platform one of the most versatile platforms on the market, allowing the user to have the potential to have three rifles in one (5.56, .300blk and now 7.62×39). The 7.62×39 caliber will be available for order in standard ARAK-21 upper receivers, complete XRS rifles, and as a stand-alone kit for existing ARAK-21s. Kits will be available in 12.5-inch and 16-inch medium profile barrels. Current ARAK-21 users/owners can simply purchase the 7.62×39 kit as an addition to their current rifle upper. The 7.62×39 caliber kit comes with an interchangeable bolt, firing pin and barrel, all designed to work interchangeably with the current ARAK-21 upper receivers and XRS rifles. Rather than modify existing components, Faxon took detailed time and testing to create a robust set of solutions that solve many of the issues of the cartridge that plague other conversions. They lowered and widened the feed ramps to ensure consistent chambering, increased the bolt diameter to handle bolt thrust, and supply a new firing pin that matches the depth and width of the venerable AK to ensure consistent ignition. They set out to design a platform based rifle that takes the best of the AR and the best of the AK and combine them into one rifle with cross caliber capabilities. With the addition of the 7.62×39, they are expanding the capabilities for each user of the ARAK-21. This option further expands his or her platform and opens up many new shooting options. The ARAK-21 7.62×39 Kit has a retail price $499. Retail price for single barrel upper receivers is $1,199 and multiple caliber kits that include 7.62×39 will add $99 for the bolt and firing pin. 7.62×39 equipped ARAKs and kits will start shipping late February.

Housed in an aluminum, tan-finished, light chassis stock
designed by MDT that provides a modular, ergonomic base, this MVP is engineered for accuracy with its V-shaped bedding and recoil lug area that only makes contact with the receiver at those points. The free-floating, medium bull barrel is threaded and comes with a SilencerCo Saker muzzle brake, utilizing the Trifecta quick-detach mounting system (thread cap included). The barrels, constructed of carbon steel, are button-rifled with 16.25-inch length and 1:7 twist rate in the 5.56mm NATO (.223 Rem.) chambering and the 7.62mm NATO (.308 Win.) sports an 18.5-inch barrel with a 1:10 twist rate. Both feature a matte blue finish on all metalwork. Enhancing the accuracy on this tack-driver is Mossberg’s Lightning Bolt Action (LBA) Trigger System that delivers a crisp, creep-free trigger pull and is user-adjustable from 3 to 7 pounds. Machined from aircraft-grade aluminum and hard-coat anodized to military spec, preventing corrosion and minimizing wear, the LBA trigger system delivers the utmost in reliability and durability for consistent shot placement. Additional design features include: spiral fluted bolt; oversized tactical-style bolt handle; Picatinny top rail for ease of adding optics; and adjustable bipod. MVP-LC rifles come standard with Magpul P-Mag 10-round magazines and with the patented designs of the MVP, you can use aftermarket AR-15 (5.56mm NATO/.223 Rem.) and both M1A/M14 and AR-10-style (7.62mm NATO/.308 Win.) aftermarket magazines. Both calibers are available in MVP-LC Scoped Combos, which include Vortex Optics Viper HS-T (Hunter Shooter Tactical) 4-16x44mm variable riflescope and rings. Mossberg has also introduced a newly-engineered line of lightweight and easy-handling Blaze autoloading rimfire rifles for 2015, and joining the family is the Blaze 47, replicating the look and feel of the widely-popular AK-47 rifle. These fun-to-shoot .22 LR autoloaders feature a polymer receiver and are available with fixed-length wood stocks or adjustable black synthetic stocks, featuring Mossberg’s innovative FLEX TLS (Tool-less Locking System) interchangeable recoil pad system. Both wood-stocked and synthetic versions are available with optional 10- or 25-round magazines. Experience the fun of shooting a classic military-style rifle platform in this affordable, American-made rimfire rifle series. The Blaze rimfire rifle design utilizes the durability and lightweight characteristics of today’s highly-engineered polymers. The molded polymer receiver and action are paired with compact 16.5-inch free-floating, blue-finished barrels with 1:16 twist rate. The metal bolt, firing pin and bolt handle feature complementing blue finish and the Blaze 47 also features an ambidextrous safety. The spring-loading, 10- and 25-round magazines are easy-to-load and are also sold as Mossberg-branded accessories. The Blaze 47 captures the look of the venerable AK-47 with the following standard features: adjustable fiber optic rear sight and raised front rifle sights; choice of fixed wood stocks with 13 1/2-inch length-of-pull (LOP) or lever-activated, 6-position adjustable LOP synthetic stock (11 1/4 – 14 inches) providing greater comfort for all shooters; and optional 10- or 25-round capacity magazines. Mossberg has also incorporated its user-friendly FLEX TLS System on the synthetic-stocked versions of the Blaze 47: with the simple push of the integrated TLS latch, the recoil pad can be easily interchanged for other sizes of FLEX recoil pads; no tools required.

Newest SureFire Scout Light Provides Power-Source Versatility

Newest SureFire Scout Light Provides Power-Source Versatility

SureFire, LLC, manufacturer of high-end illumination tools and tactical products, has commenced sales of the latest, highly versatile member of its best-selling, ever-expanding family of LED Scout Light Weapon Lights. The new M600 AA Scout Light-for long guns equipped with Mil-Std 1913 (Picatinny) rails-can be powered by AA lithium or AA alkaline batteries, the latter of which are typically more readily available globally particularly in remote or rural areas. Powered by two lithium AAs, the M600 AA’s solid-state light emitting diode (LED) generates a maximum output of 200 lumens and produces tactical-level output for up to 3.75 hours on a set of batteries. The output and runtime from two AA alkaline batteries is approximately one-third that from lithium AAs, but this reduced output/runtime is theoretically outweighed by the convenience of using these easier-to-find and often less-expensive power cells. But to maximize output and runtime, SureFire recommends powering the M600 AA with lithium batteries whenever possible. The M600 AA uses a proprietary Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens to shape the LED’s output into a smooth, flawless beam with ample reach and enough surround light to maintain good situational awareness in close to medium-range applications. Like all SureFire Scout Lights, it securely attaches to any Mil-Std 1913 rail, the M600 AA utilizing an integral thumbscrew clamp that attaches/detaches the light to said rail in a matter of seconds. Constructed of lightweight aerospace aluminum that’s hard anodized with a Mil-Spec finish for added durability, this new Scout Light can be easily activated via its momentary-/constant-on click-type tailcap switch, or via several remote plug-in switch models available for purchase from SureFire as optional accessories. The M600 AA Scout Light has an MSRP of $299. More information can be found by visiting www.surefire.com online.

New Seek Thermal Camera Makes It Easy to Focus In On Your Target

New Seek Thermal Camera Makes It Easy to Focus In On Your Target

Seek Thermal has just announced the Seek XR, an extended range version of its award-winning thermal camera. Created with outdoor enthusiasts in mind, the Seek XR allows people to literally see heat, making it possible to spot people and animals in total darkness. For hunters, the Seek XR can be used in daylight, the dark, or in obscured visibility conditions. It’s useful for scouting, bloodtrailing, hunting game, and much more. The new Seek XR has a manual focus lens for viewing objects at close range, or at distances of up to 2,000 feet. Until recently, the price of thermal imaging has kept it out of reach for almost everybody except military and law enforcement. The Seek XR will be available in January for both iOS and Android devices for $299 at www.thermal.com Thermal imaging converts heat energy into an image that can be seen with the human eye. Traditionally, thermal cameras costing several thousand dollars and up have been used by firefighters, law enforcement and the military to see through smoke or in complete darkness. Seek Thermal has pioneered the next generation of thermal imaging technology sized and priced for the everyday consumer. The Seek camera is a small device that plugs into the micro USB connector on Android devices and the Lightning™ connector on iOS devices. A durable magnesium housing protects a next-generation thermal sensor and custom chalcogenide lens. It weighs only 0.5 ounces and creates true thermal images with a resolution of 206×156, or over 32,000 thermal pixels. Prior to today this kind of resolution was only available in cameras costing several thousand dollars and up. The Seek camera works with a free app that is available in the Apple App store and on Google Play. The app makes it easy for people to get started with thermal imaging, while also including a range of controls substantial enough for people who use the camera for serious work or serious fun. App features include; capture and share thermal photos and videos, select from different temperature measurement modes including the ability to automatically highlight everything in the scene that is above or below a specified temperature and select from nine different color palettes. Technically called “LUTs,” there are different color ranges that can be applied to temperature measurements. You can also swipe seamlessly back and forth between a regular and a thermal image in Thermal+ mode. For more information visit www.thermal.com.
