The Flight Glove remains in the line due to government contracts. The popular Ranch Glove will make a comeback in the future.
Magpul has completely reengineered the PMAG specifically for use with AICS Short Action rifles. Although this won’t affect many, it’s one of the most impressive products they’ll release this year.
Many AI pattern mags for 5.56mm have issues with feeding. Magpul overcame the issue with their offset feed lip geometry that maximizes bolt face engagement, guaranteeing reliable feeding and solving the bolt face issue common to other AICS-pattern magazines for 5.56 based cartridges. As soon as you pick one up, you’ll notice the asymmetrical design.
Features:
• Compatible with short action AICS-pattern bottom metal and cartridges built on a 0.378” case head such as 5.56×45 NATO (.223 Remington)
• Accepts cartridge overall length (COAL) of up to 2.39”
• Single stack, constant-curve internal geometry with 10-round capacity
• Offset feed lip geometry designed to maximize bolt face engagement and optimize reliability
• Next-generation impact and crush-resistant polymer construction
• Self-lubricating follower for increased reliability
• Long-life stainless-steel spring
• Paint pen dot matrix panels on the bottom of the body to allow for visual identification
Magpul has announced an addition to their Hunter Stock line to accommodate the Savage 110 Short Action. With left handed action Savage 110 outselling the right handed version, this is also the first time that Magpul has introduced both a left and right handed version of a stock.
This drop-in stock incorporates eight M-LOK slots for mounting options, and a fully adjustable length of pull and comb height.
Another note is that you’ll have to use the Magpul bottom metal which is included with the Hunter Stock.

Big news from SIG. For the first time in over a century, the US military has safety certified bot a new weapon as well as ammunition at the same time.
They also certified a suppressor at the same time, a first.
These weapons are undergoing a combat evaluation by MARSOC on behalf of USSOCOM and the US Marine Corps.
I recently had an opportunity to fire the SIG SAUER MG 338 machine gun. It is extremely controllable and weighs less than an M240.
Here is their press release.
NEWINGTON, N.H., (January 13, 2020) – SIG SAUER, Inc. is pleased to announce the United States Special Operation Command (USSOCOM), working closely with SIG SAUER, has completed a safety certification of the new SIG SAUER MG 338 Machine Gun, SIG SAUER 338 Norma Mag Ammunition, and Next Generation Suppressors. Following this historic official safety certification, SIG SAUER has completed deliveries of multiple systems, comprised of the MG 338 Machine Guns, 338 Norma Mag Ammunition, and Next Generation Suppressors – all researched, designed, engineered, and manufactured by SIG SAUER in the U.S.A.
“The safety certification of the complete SIG SAUER MG 338 system, and delivery of the system to USSOCOM is historically very significant. For the first time in decades the U.S. Military certified a new machine gun, ammunition, and suppressor at the same time, bringing new innovation, portability, and increased lethality to our ground forces, with all components coming from one company,” began Ron Cohen, President and CEO, SIG SAUER, Inc. “This certification was achieved following the outstanding performance of the complete MG 338 system through the rigors of the extensive function, durability, and safety tests set forth by USSOCOM.”
The SIG MG 338 bridges the gap between the current machine guns currently in use with the U.S. Military. In comparison to the current M240 (7.62x51cal) machine gun, which has been in service with the U.S. Military for 60 years, the SIG MG 338, is noticeably lighter, weighing only 20 pounds, and provides significantly more range and lethality. In comparison to the M2 (.50cal), which has been in service with the U.S. Military for 110 years, the MG 338 is approximately one-quarter the weight, and in a historic first, offers a man-portable solution with similar effective-range. Making this system even more desirable are the new SIG SAUER Next Generation Suppressors which drastically reduces the impact of harmful toxic fumes and signature, making the operator less vulnerable.
The SIG SAUER MG 338 machine gun is a belt-fed, lightweight medium machine gun weighing under 20lbs., chambered in 338 Norma Mag. The MG 338 features a short-stroke gas piston system and a proprietary recoil mitigation system, with a free-floating, quick-change barrel, ambidextrous controls, switchable feed tray, charging handle that can be alternated to either side depending on operator preference, and as a modern, multi-caliber, modular system the new SIG MG 338 is easily convertible to 7.62x51cal.
“We are incredibly proud of this historical accomplishment and honored to have received this safety certification by USSOCOM for the performance of the complete MG 338 system,” concluded Cohen.

The sleeves are made of NYCO fabric that is durable, yet breathable.
SPITFIRE MKII Plate Carrier
The new SPITFIRE® MK II Plate Carrier version may look simpler, but in fact it is much more scalable and mission configurable. The designers have decided to strip the carrier of unnecessary PALS slots under the flap and on the back as well as enlarging the loop panel on the front for large LE patches, and we’ve also made it lighter than the standard version.
Thanks to numerous new flaps, back panels and cummerbunds users are able to modify and personalise the carrier the way they actually need it.
DYNYCO – brand new fabric
Direct Action will show a completely new material DYNYCO, which will be used to make Vanguard combat pants.
What is DYNYCO? Research & Development Direct Action department has developed a flexible yet robust and lightweight material that will protect the soldier but at the same time adapt to movements on the battlefield.
How was this done? Direct Action labs have started adding elastane to cotton and nylon to reduce the use of stretch material, balance flexibility and give the user the same comfort.
And so Dynamic NYCO, or DYNYCO for short, was born – one of the first flexible NYCO rip-stop material with 49% Nylon 48% Cotton 3% Elastan. From now on, your uniform can be really comfortable and durable.
