Magpul

I spoke with him a while when I was registering me and my father for their class this April in Reno. Very cool guy with a good sense of humor. After watching the Magpul instructional video, its obvious the guy has some really great teaching skills and really enjoys doing it.

Im looking forward to the class……despite the rising costs of ammo. I bought ahead to be prepared.

Rifle Scopes

was looking at the GRSC CRS Rifle Scope myself and really like everything it offers! I don’t like that it’s a Millett with w/ a great reticule because of the Millett’s weight and less than stellar performance. Some of the things mentioned above (minus the ridiculous comparison to NCstar) including the fact that no more will be made in the foreseeable future, steered me away from it.

I’ve come across the new Burris Rifle Scopes XTR-14 and have decided on it. 1-4×24 illuminated horseshoe/dot 100-1000yds bdc calibrated for 5.56 62gr approx $550. I was very pleased with my Burris FFII for a $200 scope; FFII is their budget line while XTR is top of the line!

AK-47

You might think of the standard/short buttstock as an "entry" style stock, while the "NATO" stock is more like that of an ak-47 (still short, but not so much so).

Currently, you can’t own them there even if you do the federal song and dance. A bill to change that is in the works and passed overwhelmingly:

A gun bill sponsored by Rep. Jeremy Oden (R-Eva) stirred a lengthy and vocal debate in the house of representatives Tuesday before passing by an 83-7 vote.

The measure, which seeks to repeal an Alabama law limiting the use of certain short-barreled firearms, sparked a heated two-hour discussion on the house floor, as a handful of representatives argued hard against passing a measure they said would take power away from law enforcement and put it in the wrong hands instead.

“I didn’t expect that kind of debate on it this early,” said Oden. “A lot of people in the anti-gun faction spoke up and tried to stall it.”

And props to NRA-ILA for running the story. Most folks think NRA tends to run from NFA issues. Good for them.

Ruger magazines

How to determine if your pistol needs the retrofit: All LCP pistols bearing prefix “Ruger magazine” (that is, serial number 370-xxxxx) may be affected. Newly manufactured and retrofitted “370” prefix LCP pistols with the new hammer mechanism installed have been marked with a diamond in the flat portion of the slot just behind and below the hammer as show to the right. Going forward, new pistols will be marked with the serial number prefix “371” (serial number 371-xxxxx). Pistols with the “Ruger magazines” prefix are not affected.

After spending $140 and waiting six months, I received a High-Noon "Closing Argument" for my G26 (I know, not the same as you’re talking about, but High-noon follows a similar pattern for their IWB Shoulder holsters). Thank god for their no-questions-asked return policy. It felt like I was carrying a brick in my Pocket Holster. I shipped that POS back ASAP, and bought an Pistol Magazine. It was $80 and it came in a week. It is so comfortable I forget it’s there, and it conceals nicely.

One thing I’ll give High-Noon: they use metal belt clips. If the MTAC had metal belt clips, it would be perfect. For $25, the Bare Asset may get the job done cheaply, but the High-noon Shoulder holster is subpar, IMO.

Bullets

We started our company as BDX Mfg. as a small family operation in 1974. At that time, we did custom reloading. We ran that until 1985 when we sold the reloading portion and went into the bullet manufacturing specialty. We specialized in lead swaged bullets and worked on making a full line of small pistol lead bullets. Things changed and we started manufacturing copper jacketed bullets in 1991. We reorganized and renamed the business Montana Gold Bullet Incorporated. The jacketed Bullets have been very popular with past and new customers alike. The CMJ (complete metal jacket) is the newest item in the market from our line. We deal mostly on the wholesale level. We do not have a retail store. We do have pickup orders. Call ahead for packaging, etc.

Aimpoint BR8 Fire Control System (FCS) for Tactical Small Arms and Light Weapons
By David Crane

We here at DefenseReview are big fans of Aimpoint products, particularly the CompM2 - M68/CCO (Close Combat Optic), CompM4 and Micro T-1 red dot combat sights, and the 3XMag magnifying optic. Aimpoint combat optics (optical sights) are combat proven and highly trusted by professional trigger pullers the world over, and for good reason. As the aforementioned products have demonstrated, the company isn’t content to rest on its laurels, but rather is constantly innovating and developing new products that can assist the warfighter, LE professional, and civilian shooter.

That’s why when Aimpoint’s president, Lennart Ljungfelt, presented the Aimpoint BR8 Fire Control System (FCS) for infantry small arms and light weapons on May 22, 2008 during the Fire Control session at NDIA International Infantry & Joint Services Small Arms Systems Symposium 2008, it wasn’t much of a surprise to Defense Review. Actually, DefRev missed Mr. Ljungfelt’s lecture, but that doesn’t mean we can’t report on it. So, what’s the BR8 FCS’ purpose and how does it work?

IWI Negev Commando LMG/SAW and Micro-Tavor MTAR-21 Bullpup Assault Rifle Demo

July 05, 2008

DefenseReview got the chance to test-fire two Israeli combat weapons during the firing demonstration portion of NDIA International Infantry & Joint Services Small Arms Systems Symposium 2008, which was held at the Tac-Pro Shooting Center. The two weapons we fired were the IMI-developed select-fire Negev Commando Version LMG/SAW 5.56mm NATO (5.56×45mm NATO) and Micro-Tavor M.T.A.R. 21 5.56mm NATO (5.56×45mm NATO) bullpup assault subcarbine/SBR, both of which are being manufactured and marketed in Israel by Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) Ltd., formerly a division of IMI (Israel Military Industries Ltd.). The IWI Negev Commando LMG/SAW is the compact Special Operations (SPECOPS) version of the IWI Negev LMG/SAW Standard Version, and the IWI Micro-Tavor is the compact subcarbine version of the standard IWI Tavor T.A.R. 21 5.56mm NATO assault rifle.

We should inform our readers right off the bat that we didn’t get to put nearly as many rounds through either weapon as we would have liked. We did, however, enjoy firing them, and were generally impressed with their performance. We believe these weapons will…

Rifle Case

These assault Rifle Case are the cases that put us on the map. With the exception of a few materials and hardware upgrades, these are the same cases that we began producing in the 1970’s under the name Assault Systems. Being the first company in the world to market nylon rifle cases, we set the standard for all types of nylon hunting and shooting products. In the late 1980’s we changed our name to Shooting Systems, but all of our assault gear still carries the original “Assault Systems” label. High quality materials, and superior workmanship is what keeps these the best selling cases on the market. These cases are constructed of padded Dupont Cordura nylon with full-length heavy-duty zippers and hardware. They have welded steel D rings and come with a 2″ shoulder strap. They have up to six external magazine pouches, plus an accessory pocket.

AR-15 Sights

Ever have a hard time picking up your front sight in low light? AR-15 Sights /M16 series rifle has developed into an excellent system with more accessories supporting it than any other weapon on the planet. For good reason. With the correct barrel twist and bullet (sadly, something, the military has turned away from with it’s 1:7 twist), it’s highly effective and reliable. Still, there is always room for more and Ned Scheer of Mounting Solutions Plus has recently patented a new front sight called the SIGHTLINK, Part no. FOS-070-MS1, that will, I believe, prove to be a great success. Based on the fiber optic sights one might find on rifles and shotguns, Ned has gone the extra mile and made an AR15 specific sight that not only adjusts for elevation as the original, but can then be adjusted again so that the blade of the sight aligns properly. This special feature is what sets it apart from all others and is what generated the patent. Most fiber optic sights can only be adjusted in 180 degree rotations, which makes it impossible to exactly set your front sight without having to readjust your rear sight. In other words, as is typical of National Match sights and fiber optic sights, you would normally only be able to get “close” to the perfect zero, but then you have to diddle with your rear sight until you get your actual Center Mass or Six O’clock hold as desired. On the AR15A2 with Match sights, this is only a minor inconvenience, but on the A1 it is a total washout. An AR15A2 with a standard rear sight also presents a problem, as it does not have the fine adjustability of the A2 Match sight.

This just in from the Associated Press: California brewer ordered to stop using ‘Legal Weed’ bottle caps.

WEED, Calif. — Vaune Dillmann thought the wording on his bottle caps was just a clever play on the name of the northern California town where he brews his beer.

Federal alcohol regulators thought differently. They have ordered Dillmann to stop selling beer bottles with caps that say “Try Legal Weed.” The agency, which regulates the brewing industry, said the wording could “mislead consumers about the characteristics of the alcoholic beverage.”

Dillmann scoffs at the notion that his label has anything to do with smoking pot. “I’ve never tried marijuana in my life,” he told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “I don’t advocate that. It’s just our town’s name.”
