BCM Launches A/T Mount for Aimpoint T1, T2, Comp M5, and Trijicon MRO

Thursday, August 10th, 2023

Bravo Company has just launched A/T (Angled Torque) Optics Mounts for the Aimpoint T1, T2, Comp M5, and Trijicon MRO.

BCM A/T OPTIC MOUNTS
Capability in the face of the unexpected and catastrophic – the BCM A/T mount is built in anticipation of a “no fail” shot that will save another human life.

PERFORMANCE WITHOUT PEER
Improving on Mil-Spec rail interfaces dating back over 30 years, the BCM A/T mount delivers an unprecedented zero retention on a properly mounted red dot optic. Low profile and snag- free, BCM A/T Mounts are built with a minimal number of components – delivering a stronger component with less points of failure, ready to take on dynamic and adverse settings.

Each A/T Mount features multiple integral recoil lugs to mitigate recoil and counter recoil to preserve your zero and ensure “no fail” shots are placed where intended by the trained rifleman.

Starting at 2.15 oz, each 7075T6 billet mount is hard coat anodized per Mil-A-8625F. Additionally, both the steel alloy clamp and nut are hardened with Nitride coating.

THE ANGLED TORQUE LOCK-UP
A/T mounts employ angled torque through a patented* clamp which applies triangulating force to create a stronger and more reliable lock up of the mount onto the end user’s rail.

To retain the hardware in field conditions, this system uses a serrated locking spring-washer to prevent the loss of torque on the shaft nut.
With an equivalent load applied, the A/T Mount delivers approximately twice the clamping force at the picatinny rail, versus a legacy horizontal interface.

THE FLEET
Built optimized for both a variety of missions and proven red dot optics.

SPARTAN.AT Presents – CORVUS DEFENSIO: New Rail and Handguard for AUG A3 M1/SE

Thursday, August 10th, 2023

After years of customer requests – with heavy emphasis from the USA – CORVUS DEFENSIO has now decided to develop a special rail for the AUG A3 M1 or SE receiver. The difficulty was always the hump on the receiver, which is only there to create a corresponding transition for the (removable) optic housing. This hump, however, prevents the use of a Picatinny rail that can be extended beyond the end of the receiver without interruption at the same height as the standard rail of the AUG A3 SA. Why users would like to use rails extended forward over the barrel is obvious. The extended section is particularly suitable for mounting rifle sights, lasers and optronical attachments for various optics. It can also be used to mount a handguard if someone prefers this option to the barrel grip. The short M1 rails available so far are not suitable for this purpose.

However, getting around the aforementioned receiver hump when designing an extended Picatinny rail is a bit of a technical challenge. The rail must be reinforced somewhere if it is not to be built twice as high. CORVUS DEFENSIO ultimately decided to raise the rail only slightly. Just enough so that it can be extended over the hump. The necessary reinforcement for this is done on the right side. Here it is least disturbing, since the charging handle is located on the left. However, the reinforcement of the rail does not remain unused. It has an integrated MLOK slot. This feature can be used to mount various accessories directly or via an MLOK Picatinny rail. This location is particularly suitable for mounting a laser or a weapon light.

The extended M1 rail thus has most features of all receiver rails from CORVUS DEFENSIO. More Pictures and a video can be seen on Instagram CORVUS DEFENSIO.

The rail has a length of 38 cm/15 inches, a height above the bore axis of 3.8 cm/1.5 inches, a weight of 220 gr/7.75 oz and features 37 Picatinny slots, two integrated mounts for QD sling swivels with anti-rotation lock, a recess for military AUG stocks that feature a reinforcement on the top, a total of five MLOK slots on the sides and an M16 Carry Handle Interface for direct mounting of Trijicon ACOG scopes without intermediate mounting.

For this rail – as for the A3 SA receiver rails – a special handguard is available, which is mounted on the MLOK slots on the side. It has the unique selling point so far that it allows the barrel to swing completely freely, the barrel can still be swung out and it reliably protects the shooter from burns and injuries in connection with the gas pressure device by means of a replaceable heat shield made of sheet steel. The handguard has been completely redesigned and lightened for the M1 rail. It features milled MLOK slots all around, which in turn can accommodate a wide variety of accessories and is backwards compatible with the previous AUG A3 SA housing rails from CORVUS DEFENSIO. The use of the handguard allows for particularly good recoil control during rapid firing. The new products will be available in late September/early October 2023.

Griffin Armament Announces DUAL-LOK HRT-762 Rifle Suppressors

Wednesday, August 9th, 2023

Watertown WI, Aug. 9th, 2023 –  

When Griffin Armament designed the DUAL-LOK™ HRT-556™ for elite HRT units, the goal was to deliver a compact, highly durable, low flash, and top tier performing suppressor utilizing the new DUAL-LOK™ active retention system, an often demanded feature by government customers. Griffin is proud to now complete the HRT lineup with the HRT-762™. This suppressor completes the HRT lineup by providing a highly durable, low flash, 30 caliber model.  

The HRT-762™ features the patent-pending DUAL-LOK™ mounting system, an accurate, robust, reliable, and wear free system with robust muzzle device support.  The suppressor was designed to have minimal flash signature, minimal POI shift, and minimal gas blowback. These attributes, coupled with maximum strength, durability, and sound performance make the HRT-762™ an unbeatable option in the .30cal suppressor market. 

Baffle technology is a lightly modified version of the 4th generation Recce Suppressor baffle system. Tuned ECO-FLOW™ baffles reduce back-pressure, increasing flow, making the host firearm operating system more reliable and improving air quality in the vicinity of the operator’s face.  The patented low profile flash suppressor end cap further adds performance to the low flash baffle system. 

“When we developed the HRT-556™, we brought to market a compact, heavy-duty, high-performance can built on a foundation of extensive R&D. Customers requested a .30cal version and we delivered. The HRT-762™ piggybacks off the developments of the HRT-556™ and provides the same top tier performance in a rugged .30caliber option. The HRT 7 is one of our best performing .30cal suppressors to date. I’m extremely proud of the work our team did on this project, and I’m excited to introduce this suppressor to Griffin’s DUAL-LOK™ fanbase.”
