The U.S. Army has approved Synthetic Gun Oil from G96, a supplier of gun lubricants and cleaning products.
In passing laboratory as well as live-fire testing, G96 Synthetic Gun Oil passed Military Specification (Mil Spec) PRF-63460E, becoming one of just three products to pass thsee rigid requirements, and the only one produced by a gun care chemical company.
“This is the culmination of a long, three-year review process. While we’re obviously thrilled to meet this Mil Spec, it only highlights our commitment to providing gun owners with the very best lubricants and cleaning supplies available today,†says G96 President and CEO Alan Goldman. “It’s especially satisfying that we are helping to support our dedicated soldiers in a small way.â€
According to the acceptance letter from the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command, G96 Synthetic Gun Oil “not only recorded excellent performance in both the cold temperature test and the salt-spray test with no Class 1 stoppages in either, but your best two weapons averaged only 4 stoppages in the dust test against the criteria of no more than 5, so we are pleased to qualify your current formulation.â€
G96 Synthetic Gun Oil, which is 85 percent biodegradable and contains no VOCs (volatile organic compounds), is available online at www.G96.com.

Zel Custom Manufacturing just released their third-generation Tactilite big-bore, bolt-action uppers for AR-style rifles. The new Tactilite “Gen-3†features an upper receiver machined from a solid billet of steel. Zel Custom Manufacturing also announced that the Tactilite is now available for the popular .338 Lapua cartridge, in addition its the existing lines of .50 BMG and .416 Barrett conversion kits.
“Machining the upper receiver from a solid piece of steel offers several important advantages,†said Michael Brendzel, president of Zel Custom Manufacturing. “First, it allows us to create an integrated scope rail that will not lose zero. Second, we are able to precisely align the integrated scope rail with an integrated barrel extension to assure the greatest accuracy. Third, the solid receiver is stronger and more durable than the cast and/or welded uppers offered by competitors. While our approach is more costly in time and materials, we have taken the opportunity to reengineer our processes and have been able to maintain our well-known value pricing.â€
Additionally, Brendzel had this to say about the introduction of a new caliber, “The .338 Lapua fills a critical void and we believe that Zel Custom provides an excellent value option in this space.â€

Brought to you by authors Wallace and Melton, the same team who brought you “Spycraft: The Secret History of the CIA’s Spytechs, from Communism to Al-Qaeda “, “The Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception” delves into an interesting era in American espionage history. It was 1953, and the flames were just beginning to rise on the Cold War. Looking for any edge, the CIA turned to magician John Mulholland to adapt his techniques of stealth and misdirection to the craft of espionage. He produced two illustrated manuals featuring a range of tricks from placing pills into drinks to stealing documents and avoiding detection. The classified manuals were believed to have been destroyed in 1973, but the authors discovered a copy in 2007 among recently declassified CIA archives. For fans of espionage this is a major coup as basic tradecraft skills go out fashion long before they go out of date.
“The Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception” is available from Amazon or your local book seller.
