LBT Inc – Three Day Assault Pack V2

Tuesday, August 16th, 2016

LBT has just released the Version 2.0 of the popular 3 Day Assault Pack, now with a detachable front section similar to the LBT-1562SF medic pack, the 2.0 will have the option of running a slick version or modular version. Comes as a set with a main and front pack. I like the piggyback concept which looks great for travel.  Even better, get it at its introductory price for the next week.

Dimensions:
Overall pack: 20H x 14W x 9D / Apprx 2520 cubic inches
Main pack: 20H 14W x 6D / Apprx 1680 cubic inches
Front Pack: 14.5H x 13W 4D / Apprx 754 cubic inches

Offered in MultiCam, Black or MAS Grey.

First Look – New US Army 30 Round Enhanced Performance Magazine for M4A1

Tuesday, August 16th, 2016

Last month, the US Army released Maintenance Information Message #16-039 announcing the 30 Round Enhanced Performance Magazine for M4A1 but up until now, we hadn’t seen it yet.

According to the message, the EPM was designed in order to reduce wear on the weapon when firing the new Enhanced Performance Round (M855A1). It sports a Tan body making it easy to identify and as you can see, the Blue follower is really more of a Grey color.

Below, you can see examples of the last few versions of issue 30 round 5.56mm magazines.

The magazine has been assigned NSN 1005-01-630-9508 and the previously issued magazine is NSN 1005-01-561-7200. The old magazine is now terminal with no material on hand, but can be acquired via a contact until Mar 2017. Minimum buy is Qty 100. Tye item managers are removing the current magazine from the assigned APL/AEL, leaving only the new magazine. The new magazine costs $11.20 while the old magazine is $13.35 so for once, we’re getting something less expensive.

Tuesday, August 16th, 2016

Primary and Secondary forum member Todd J has released this info on the G17M from his new equipment training.  Indianapolis Police will be the first department to roll out the G17M which was designed specifically for the FBI contract.  It is important to note that the upcoming Gen 5 will not have all of these features.

“Currently at our handgun in-service, and the 17M info has been released to the guys here, so I feel comfortable putting it out here.
Changes are:
1. New, “tougher” finish
2. Different rifling
3. Longer RSA
4. Reinforced front RSA notch
5. Smoother trigger (similar to G42/G43)
6. Flared magwell
7. Removed finger grooves
8. Safety plunger is oblong/rectangular instead of round
9. Ambi slide release
10. Magazine well cut out
11. Magazines have a slightly extended front lip.”
