You Never Know Where They’re Going To Show Up
Saturday, January 31st, 2015New AR Accessories Coming from Frank Proctor
Saturday, January 31st, 2015Frank Proctor released some photos and details of his latest rifle. In those specs are a couple of surprises including a new light mount, bolt release and muzzle device made by Troy Industries, he’ll be releasing soon
Here are some pics of my new blaster at the range. I put this rifle together as a do everything rifle. I wanted fast and accurate from the muzzle to as far as I could work with the ammo and wind. ( I’ve shot to 900 with a set up similar to this)
I needed it to do EVERYTHING well but be as light as possible. This one weighs in at 7 pounds 3 ounces as pictured (minus ammo) Also worth mentioning this is on one of my rifle ranges. the big berm in the back is 300 yards and the paper target is at 10 yards. I zeroed this rifle at yards using my technique of getting a 200 yard zero at 10 yards. I wasn’t sure how well this would work with a 6x optic due to parallax but it worked like a champ. After I zeroed in about 6 rounds ( brand new scope, mount and rifle) I shot everything on this range including 6” plates at 300 from this rock. My Way of the Gun rear bag did help the stability a bit!
Here’s the components list on this rifle.
-BCM upper with 12.5” stainless midwest bbl and 10” KMR rail, BCM mod 4 -Gunfighter charging handle
-Tennessee Arms Polymer Lower
-BCM Gunfighter Stock
-BCM Gunfighter mod 2 pistol grip
-Geissele SSA trigger
-Vortex Razor HD Gen 2 – 1x-6x
-Aeroprecision light weight mount
-Troy Battle mag (only ones I’ve used since 2012)
-Proctor Sling
-WOTG rear bag
-Prototypes of my Muzzle device that will be produced by Troy Industries as well as a Prototype of my Bolt release that will be produced by Troy Industries
-Prototype of my light mount
(light mount, bolt release and muzzle device will be available on my website in the coming weeks!)
Pinkerton Knives – Ditch Dart
Friday, January 30th, 2015
The Ditch Dart is a small, general purpose utility knife made by Pinkerton Knives in collaboration with retired US Army MSG Grady Burrell. This particular model is made from D2 tool steel, with an OAL of 4.6″, a 2.5″ primary edge, and a 2.25″ secondary edge. Serrations are optional. The handle features grooves, which would allow for the addition of a parcord wrap, and a lanyard hole. After extensive testing, it was determined that the knife’s thickness of .125″ is the best thickness for strength, weight, and edge geometry relative to its size.
Models made of 154CM steel have also been made, and are marked accordingly.
What’s This? New Weapon Lighting System
Friday, January 30th, 2015
Just last week, I was at SHOT Show and speaking with a friend about the need for conformal weapon lights for rifles. Looks like someone has taken some action in this realm.
According to what little data is available this patent pending 3oz system offers up about 500 lumens and is LED based with an array of lamps configured concentrically around the endcap attached to the rail.
So far, all we’ve got to go on is this video, a couple of photos and a Facebook page: www.facebook.com/pages/New-Weapon-Lighting-System. Hopefully, we’ll see more soon.
Wild Things – Guide Light Pack
Friday, January 30th, 2015Yesterday, I had the chance to sit in with the ADS Inc Army team for some new product training at Academi in Moyock, NC. One of the vendors was Wild Things Tactical and they introduced a new top loader called the Guide Light. It weighs just 17 oz.
It’s a minimalist pack (26 l) made from waterproof material (200 psi) normally used as sail cloth and with bound seams to keep them as waterproof as possible without full seam sealing. There is very limited daisy chain along the back of the pack but overall it is a very slick design.
This frameless model incorporates a padded, internal sheet. There are padded shoulder straps but no waist belt. Additionally, there is a central haul loop located at the top of the pack, between the shoulder straps. The single compartment top loader has a spindrift and drawstring. The bag also features a pass through for Comms cables or hydration although there are no internal pockets.
The removable lip is held in place via SR buckles and a thin Velcro strip. The lid compartment opens via a half moon zipper and there is a small zippered pocket on the underside.
Berry compliant and available in Coyote and Black.
Available for unit and agency purchase via ADS.
