The QUICK from SOLGW

Tuesday, May 19th, 2020

May 2020 – San Antonio, Texas – Sons of Liberty Gun Works (SOLGW) in collaboration with Forward Controls Design (FCD) set out to create a safety that’s an embodiment of our considerable experience in AR15/M16 selector design and knowledge over the years. This collaboration resulted in the “Quick”.

The Quick was designed from the ground up to be a defense/duty/combat safety selector. Its’ mission is quite aptly reflected by the way its’ levers are attached the center, via a stainless-steel roll pin. The lever to center interface is incredibly strong, the high shear strength (800 lbs) 420 stainless steel spring steel roll pin simply holds the two in place and doesn’t handle any load. One of the design goals dictates there be no wobble between the lever and center, we’ve called for very tight tolerances (+0.001/-0.00) on the Quick’s lever and center interface to achieve that.

The Quick is shipped with a selector spring, a nitrided selector detent, two levers, 4 roll pins (two are needed for installation, with 2 spares).

We do not ship the Quick with one lever installed as we recommend installing the center (dimple forward) and installing the grip, allowing the detent to hold the center in place. Using a vice block to then hold the lower receiver as both levers are installed.

Quick centers are billet machined in 4140, heat treated and black nitrided. Levers are billet machined in 4140 and black nitrided.

Manufactured 100% in the USA.

MATBOCK Monday Scepter Jump Assault Pack

Monday, May 18th, 2020

SCEPTER JUMP ASSAULT PACK

Good morning and Happy MATBOCK Monday,

The Scepter Jump Assault Pack is specifically reinforced and designed for jump operations. All strapping is either continuous or connected in the backing of the pack to include the two connection loops meant for attachment to the parachute itself via release lines. Additionally, the system has a 1 pull release system for a primary weapon system. The weapon is mounted and jumped in the horizontal position and then can be released with one pull to give the jumper instant access to the primary weapon if necessary. The belly band of the parachute mounts across the top third of the pack, just above the primary weapon to keep it secure during the jump. The entire front flap of the containment system is released by this mechanism. For easy stowage, the flap can be snapped back into place instead of reweaving the pull handle. The pack also allows integration with the SS precision jump board across the back via webbing and Velcro.

Don’t forget to join Jim and Casey on Monday at 4:30 PM EST as they go live Instagram to demo the pack and answer all of your questions!

SCUBAPRO Sunday – Nova Series Lights

Sunday, May 17th, 2020

The SCUBAPRO Nova series of lights has long been a standard for recreational and professional divers around the world. SCUBAPRO has updated its range of underwater lights with the new Nova 850 and Nova 250 dive lights. All the lights in the series have been updated with new colors and features. All lights are available in a non-reflective matte black, blue accents aluminum body while still providing the same lightweight long-term durability.

The new Nova 250 is a versatile dive light that can be stored in the smallest BCD pocket or mounted on a helmet or the rail of a gun. It offers three modes: 100% power, 50% power, and Flash, it is also equipped with an over-pressure valve to release battery off-gassing, making it the safest small light on the market. Delivering 250 lumens of illumination, Double O-ring seals ensure watertight integrity. An extended light head shroud prevents the light beam from blinding other divers. They have over-pressure valve releases battery off-gassing – a safety feature not commonly found on dive lights of this size. A depth rating of 492ft/150m ensures worry-free lighting in virtually all diving conditions. It can be used with the Ops-Core single clamp. So, it can fit on any ACH Rail helmet.

The Nova 850 series replaces the previous 720 models, with an updated lumen rating and brighter beam. The lights are available as either the Nova 850, which uses 3 C-cell batteries or the more compact 850R, which uses a single rechargeable lithium-ion cell. Both models are also available in a ‘Wide’ version, The Nova 850 Wide delivers the same illumination and offers the same features as the Nova 850 but is equipped with a wider 80° beam. All the models are constructed from heavy-duty aluminum, and depth-rated of 492ft/150m ensures worry-free lighting in virtually all diving conditions.

The powerful Nova 2100 SF (Spot Flood) multi-use dive light offers both a 65° wide beam and a 15° spot beam to perfectly match different diving situations. Five light modes plus an emergency signal mode provide lots of versatility, with one-button control for easy operation. Extremely reliable, the waterproof battery compartment is isolated, so even if the O-ring seal fails, water cannot reach the internal electronics. The Nova 2100 SF comes as a set with both a large and a small a Goodman handle, plus a pistol grip handle and a GoPro adapter.

Dual beams include a powerful 2100 lumen 65° wide beam and 800 lumens 15° spot beam. Wide beam features 6 Cree XM-L2 LEDs; the spot beam features 1 Cree XPL LED. Five primary light modes: 100% Flood, 50% Flood, 100% Spot, 50% Flood + 75% Spot, and 25% Flood + 50% Spot. Hidden emergency signal mode offers a one-second blink interval or an SOS Morse code. Just push and hold the power button for four seconds to activate. Simple one-button control lets you power on and off, adjust brightness, and switch beam angle. It provides 55 minutes of burn time at full power and constant brightness. The light is depth tested to 328′ (100 meters). Corrosion-proof metal light head improves heat dispersion and increases durability.

Streamlight Upgrades Lumens of Popular TLR Models

Saturday, May 16th, 2020

TLR-1 HL, TLR-2 HL, TLR-2 HL G, and TLR-1 HPL Now Offer 1,000 Lumens

Streamlight Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting devices, announced it has improved the output of four of its TLR® high lumen (HL) gun-mounted lights, including the TLR-1 HL®; the TLR-2 HL®; the TLR-2 HL® G, and the TLR-1 HPL®. Each model now delivers 1,000 lumens of blinding white light.

“Tactical users and outdoor enthusiasts alike will appreciate the increased brightness of these rugged, yet compact and lightweight TLR models,” said Streamlight President and Chief Executive Officer Ray Sharrah. “The TLR-1 HL®, TLR-2 HL® and TLR-2 HL® G are designed to provide full situational awareness, offering a wide beam pattern that is similar to a floodlight for a variety of tactical maneuvers such as clearing a dark room, searching alleys, or other outdoor uses. The high performance TLR-1 HPL® also functions as a high lumen light, while delivering a brighter hotspot which puts more light on a target at a distance.”

In addition to their enhanced lumen capability, the TLR-1 HL®, TLR-2 HL®, and TLR-2 HL® G also now offer 20,000 candela and a 283-metre beam distance, while the TLR-1 HPL® provides 60,000 candela and a 490-metre beam distance. Each light has a continuous run time of 1.5 hours. The TLR-2 HL® also is equipped with a 640-660 nanometre integrated red aiming laser for long-range targeting, while the TLR-2 HL® G features a 510-530 nanometre green aiming laser to improve focusing on targets, particularly in daylight.

The upgraded lights feature the latest in LED technology, including a shock-proof high-power LED. All four models also feature strobing capability, offering the added benefit of being able to signal in the field or disorient targets. The enhanced TLR models can be quickly and safely attached to most weapons, without the need for users to put their hands in front of the muzzle. They mount directly to all MIL-STD-1913 (Picatinny) rails and handguns with Glock-style rails, and offer highly accurate sight repeatability when remounting. A key kit with six interchangeable keys is included to securely fit each light to the broadest array of rails. All of the models are fabricated from 6000 series machined aluminum, feature impact-resistant construction and have been extensively live-fired tested. They each use two included 3-volt, CR123A lithium batteries.

The TLR-1 HL® weighs 122.5 grams with batteries, while the TLR-2 HL® and the TLR-2 HL® G both weigh 138.3 grams with batteries; all three lights measure 8.6cm in length. The TLR-1 HPL® weighs 158.8 – 167.3 grams and measures 12.2 – 13.3cm with batteries, using a standard or remote switch, respectively.

The TLR-1 HL® and TLR-1 HPL® are IPX7 rated for waterproof operation to 1 metre for 30 minutes, while the TLR-2 HL® and TLR-2 HL® G offer an IPX4 rated design for water-resistant operation.

The TLR-1 HL®, TLR-2 HL®, TLR-2 HL® G, and TLR-1 each comes with Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.
