Saturday, December 14th, 2019Unity Tactical – Remora™ for 3M Peltor™
Friday, December 13th, 2019
Remora™ for 3M Peltor™ Rail Adapters provides an accessory mounting platform directly overhead of the rail mount hub. It makes the most use of the very limited rail-estate on a helmet with rail-mounted comms that utilize the OEM rail mount assembly. Based on the original Remora™ for our successful MARK platform, Remora™ for 3M Peltor™ quickly and easily installs to the headset mounting hub using included hardware. The mount platform provides unprecedented versatility. Users are no longer relegated to precariously attaching lights and other accessories with Velcro.
Remora™ for 3M Peltor™ provides mount interface for M1913 Picatinny, Surefire Scout™ footprint, and our FUSION™ accessory footprint; giving users tons of options. Positive click detents allow the assembly to be rotated into several positions to direct the accessory orientation. Positioning the Remora™ assembly will not affect the stance of the headset rail adapter hub. Installation of Remora™ for 3M Peltor™ requires no permanent modification to the OEM product. Injection molded in the U.S.A.
Compatible with: OEM 3M Peltor™ ARC™ Rail Adapters / Team Wendy™ EXFIL™ Rail Back Plate / Crye Precision™ ARC™ Rail Back Plate / Busch Protection™ Rail Back Plate / MTEK™ M-LOK™ Rail Back Plate

USSOCOM Selects Nightforce Optics for Precision-Variable Power Scope
Thursday, December 12th, 2019
United States Special Operations Command has awarded Nightforce a contract for the Precision-Variable Power Scope (P-VPS). This award addresses the precision weapon solution for the USSOCOM Miniature Aiming Sight – Dayscope (MAS-D) family of optics.
Lightforce USA Inc., doing business as Nightforce Optics,* Orofino, Idaho, is awarded a $53,735,930 firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract with a five-year ordering period for Precision-Variable Power Scopes (P-VPS). This procurement is for the P-VPS Standard and the P-VPS Standard, Long Range. The P-VPS is a precision direct view optic with continuously variable magnification ranging from 3x to less than or equal to 7x and greater than or equal to 25x continuous zoom for U.S. Special Operations Command. Work will be performed in Orofino, Idaho, and is expected to be complete by December 2024. Fiscal 2020 defense procurement funding in the amount of $2,351,124 will be obligated at the time of award and will expire at the end of the current continuing resolution period. This contract was competitively procured via the Federal Business Opportunities website with two offers received. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, Crane, Indiana, is the contracting activity (N00164-20-D-JQ57).
The optics selected for the P-VPS award are the MIL-SPEC ATACR 5-25×56 Dayscope and MIL-SPEC ATACR 7-35×56 Long Range Dayscope l, both manufactured by Nightforce Optics. The P-VPS Dayscopes are designed to improve target detection, acquisition, and identification as well as increase probability of hits during day and night time engagements between 0-1500m and feature the Tremor 3 reticle.
The P-VPS is awarded as a system and in addition to the optic includes the Nightforce MIL-SPEC UltraMount with RAP-I Laser Range Finder attachment bridge, tool kit, and soft case.
Seen above is the 7-35×56 mounted to the Mk22 Advanced Sniper Rifle manufactured by Barrett. In addition to the Nightforce scopes and mounts (NF UltraMount and RAP-i LRF Mount), it includes a suppressor manufactured by Barrett. The ASR is a multi-caliber system capable of firing 7.62mm NATO, 300 Norma Mag and .338 NM.
BCM MK2 Upper Receiver Aligned. Unbending
Thursday, December 12th, 2019
Redesigned by lessons learned in combat since 9/11, the BCM MK2 Upper Receiver is built with up to 30% more rigidity than the current Mil-Spec M4 upper receiver without sacrificing interoperability for a mere additional 1/3 ounce of weight.
MEET THE NEW WAR – SAME AS THE OLD WAR
Upper receivers with baked in carry handles and iron sights have been relegated to history. Optics are now synonymous with forward deployed combat carbines, featuring modular “optics ready” flat top upper receivers. Driven by a sense of urgency to improve lethality and save American lives in real-time, this innovation has inadvertently introduced a degradation in the rigidity of the upper receiver, with the weakest point being the area around the ejection port.
Shifting mass from non-critical to critical areas; the BCM Mk2 Upper Receiver reduces barrel deflection and enhances bore tolerances improving barrel alignment, consistency and accuracy. This enhanced rigidity aids accuracy by limiting barrel deflection from external loads such as a bipod or vertical grip. Also prevents unwanted deflection of moving components, reducing the chance for premature damage and wear of the bolt and barrel lugs which results from misalignment.
POSITIVE EFFECT ON TARGET
In addition to weapon optics, suppressors have also become standard in modern combat operations. With added gas expansion areas and new channels added around the charging handle opening, vent gas away from the end user’s face, reducing distractions when employing the weapon system with a can.
LETHALITY IN THE DETAILS
Fine tuning the positioning of the forward assist creates additional clearance for right hand sided charging handle manipulation and clearance for end plate mounted slings.
USGI
The MK2 Upper Receiver also retains all USGI components in assembly and works with all USGI bolt carriers, charging handles and barrel assemblies.
BUILT TO EXCEED
Forged from 7075T6, the BCM MK2 Upper Receivers retain a form following grain structure which maximizes achievable strength. All of these improvements come without affecting the manual of arms employed in manipulating a Mil-Spec upper receiver.
MADE IN AMERICA
All BCM components and accessories unite state of the art manufacturing with lightweight and durable materials to ensure components that last a lifetime, performing far beyond performance requirements established nearly six decades ago.
