Pennsauken, NJ  – Founded in 1975, Princeton Tec has been a leader in the lighting and outdoor space, providing trusted illumination products to everyone from the outdoor enthusiast to the world’s most elite special forces.  Today, nearly 50 years later, Princeton Tec is excited to announce the newest addition to the fan-favorite MPLS (Modular Personal Lighting System) family, with the Switch RGB.

For those requiring special light, the Switch RGB is feature-rich, extremely lightweight, and offers unmatched versatility. Now equipped with two light models: IR + RGB or White + RGB Ultrabright LEDs, users can now determine which version best matches their specific needs. The White+ RGB version starts in the users’ selected color LED, with low or high, and then the user presses and holds the button to get to the White LED.

The IR version starts in IR mode, and users press and hold to get into the color mode. There are two levels of intensity of IR light, and only one intensity level of the colored light (high).

Designed to mount to various helmet rail systems, with the versatility of the MPLS mounting options, the Switch RGB MPLS can be secured to virtually any kit configuration.  Smart and tough, the lights feature the flexi-neck design, allowing the user to direct light where it’s need, regardless of the angle of the point of origin. The flex boom and housing design feature an improved design to make the Switch even more durable. With ease-of-use was kept top-of-mind, the white mode requires a two-second button press to be turned on to avoid accidental activation. Users can set and change the order in which the colored LED’s appear upon activation, for a truly customized performance.

Simple Jack Carbine from Sons of Liberty Gun Works

Thursday, August 24th, 2023

24 AUGUST 2023 – San Antonio, TX – Sons of Liberty Gun Works (SOLGW), is pleased to announce the release of the “Simple Jack” Carbine. SOLGW products feature meticulous craftsmanship, unbeatable reliability, and a lifetime warranty. Founded in 2014, SOLGW is a premier rifle manufacturer that builds quality, hard-use platforms.

Conceptualized by “AT” Ambrosia Terrebonne (moniker), Subject Matter Enthusiast, the Simple Jack AR rifle is a solution that brings real-world, affordable enhancements in a complete package to the SOLGW signature lineup.

“Picking out components to build a rifle ready for use can be overwhelming. I wanted to see a platform that focused on solving the “paralysis of analysis” of what to choose when you are unsure if your needs and capabilities will change in the future.

My thoughts were this: Why pay for components you may not need when you could put that money towards actual life-support items, for example, an optic, light, and sling? The Simple Jack does this as a platform that can accept your modifications as your needs and capabilities change.”

Introducing BCM Mk2 Charging Handles

Thursday, August 24th, 2023

Meet the new BCM MK2 Charging Handles.

IMMEDIATE ACTION

Driven by over a decade of feedback from real-world combat operations, BCM has made continual design refinements and structural improvements to the charging handle in the M4 and M16 to address the current manual of arms for the weapon system.

Optimizing the contours into a snag-free profile that facilitates immediate manipulation with an end user’s reaction side grip, the range of BCM Charging Handles is available with both ambidextrous and asymmetric controls as well as a size range accommodate different end- users handsize.

There are four types:

Medium Asymmetric
Medium Ambi
Large Asymmetric
Large Ambi

MK 2 RECEIVER OPTIMIZED

The U.S. patents pending BCM Mod 3 Charging Handle now features upper and lower and side exhaust channels to vent gas from the chamber away from the shooter during operation of the weapon. While these channels are optimized for the BCM MK2 Upper receiver, they still provide improved gas diversion on all Mil-Spec upper receivers.

LIFE SAVING TOOLS

Redesigned to eliminate the load on the pivot pin and keep the energy from charging close to the centerline of the carbine/rifle, BCM Mk 2 Charging Handles provides an uninterrupted engagement surface with no pinch points to catch skin or other material that could induce a malfunction during a time-is-life manipulation.

A patented ambidextrous design with simplified mechanism for robust performance, each Charging Handle is crafted with MIL-SPEC grade forgings and machined from 7075 T6 aluminum, with a hard coat anodized finish per Mil-A-8625F, Type III, Class 2.
