Magpul has announced a hooded version of their MBUS Pro Front Sight.
Featuring toolless adjustment, this all-steel backup sight features a corrosion-resistant QPQ finish. Many believe the hooded-style sight, is commonly seen on HK firearms, is quicker for target acquisition.
When the Hooded Pro Front Sight is paired with the dual aperture, windage-adjustable MBUS Pro Sight – Rear, it can act as a diopter style sight (aperture within an aperture) depending on its placement in relation to the rear sight.
Coming soon magpul.com/mbus-pro-sight-front-hooded.
EAGLEVILLE, PA, April 25, 2025 – Streamlight®, Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting, announced the launch of the MegaStream® HP USB, the newest addition to the Stream™ series of handheld flashlights. The MegaStream HP USB is a high candela powerhouse, delivering 310,000 candela and a beam distance of 1,114 meters, an impressive performance for a light of its size.
Engineered for professionals and everyday users alike, the MegaStream HP USB offers three lighting modes, a push-button tail cap switch with momentary or constant on operation, and a USB-C rechargeable design. It is ideal for those who require far-reaching, ultra-bright illumination in a handheld, lightweight format.
The light provides 1,350 lumens on High, 470 lumens on Medium, and 145 lumens on Low, with run times of two, four, and 15 hours respectively. The MegaStream HP USB is powered by a 3,500mAh Streamlight SL-B34® lithium-ion battery pack with an onboard safety circuit. Charging is simple with a sliding sleeve that reveals the USB-C port, and an LED indicator shows charging status: red for charging, green for charged.
“The MegaStream HP USB is the perfect blend of extreme performance and everyday portability,” said Michael F. Dineen, Streamlight President. “It delivers a powerful downrange beam, ideal for users who need serious light in a convenient, rechargeable package.”
Built to withstand tough conditions, the MegaStream HP USB is constructed from machined aluminum alloy with a Type II MIL-Spec anodized finish for abrasion resistance. It features an unbreakable glass lens, is IPX7 waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes, and is impact-resistance tested to 1 meter.

Virginia Beach, VA: MATBOCK, an industry leader in bringing paradigm shifting technologies to the market, is excited to announce the 4th phase and partnership with the U.S. Army Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO) to develop a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle Hybrid Electric Vehicle (JLTV HEV) prototype that will utilize a Heavy Gun Carrier JLTV as the base platform.
On 16 September 2024, MATBOCK started the 4th phase in developing and building the battlefield changing JLTV HEV. MATBOCK was awarded a modification to a previously awarded contract to develop and deliver a JLTV HEV. The primary purpose of the 3rd phase of this project was to validate or negate the feasibility of prototyping a tactical HEV. The goals of the project were to increase the overall automotive performance and operational range, increase the availability of on-board and off platform power, and increase the vehicle’s overall operational effectiveness by adding additional capabilities.
During the 4TH phase of this contract, MATBOCK will refine and deliver two (2) additional JLTV HEVs to the Army for extensive testing. The design and build phases will require the MATBOCK team to design and deliver technology and parts that have not yet been developed for today’s use in this application.
MATBOCK has used the time between phases to redesign its facility to accommodate the additional personnel and equipment required to deliver battle ready JLTV HEVs. The MATBOCK Team of professionals dedicated to this project have been brought together from a diverse range of backgrounds to deliver the most innovative technology yet. Leading the charge is an experienced program manager who has delivered complex projects under tight timelines to the DoD. The team is comprised of former military personnel and EV / automotive professionals bringing a unique blend of overseas experience and industry thought leaders.
MATBOCK President Zach Steinbock said, “We are all extremely excited and proud to continue the development of the JLTV HEV. Overcoming the challenges of the last phase showed true resilience from our engineers and mechanics, and the lessons learned will be critical in the future successes of making this technology truly operational in combat scenarios. The capabilities of a hybrid electric allow for a redefinition of what combat vehicles can achieve in the battlespace.”
Of the many new products announced by Magpul during this year’s NRA Annual Meeting, the new Universal Carbine Stock caught my eye, which is intended to be used with a vertical M-1913 stock mounting rail.
To accommodate the wide variety of charging handles styles and configuration, ejection port location, and control placement, the UCS features a reversible hinge for left and right folding configurations, and five degrees of drop for clearance (most stocks feature less of a drop, which doesn’t work for all firearms). The UCS stock also ships with two reversible cheek risers (0.50”, and 0.75”), and when combined with the reversible M1913 clamp (allowing for a 1/2-slot height adjustment along the rear rail for increased comb height flexibility), the shooter can dial in head placement for an optimal sight picture using iron sights or optics. The stock also gives shooters thee (3) inches of length of pull (LOP) adjustment across six (6) positions – which can be adjusted via the LOP buttons – the stock fits any shooter, with and without armor or other bulky equipment, and only adds about 18 ounces to a firearm without a stock. Just like the stock itself, the UCS’s sling attachment point is an anti-rotational QD socket that’s reversible. Last but not least, the stock is compatible with MOE SL and DT Butt-Pads, so you have options, there, too.
UCS Features:
-Six position, push-button adjustable LOP (3” total adjustment)
-Reversible folding mechanism
-Toolless removable and reversible cheek risers included (0.5” and 0.75”)
-5° drop angle for charging handle and ejection port clearance
-Reversible M1913 clamp for ½-slot height adjustment
-Reversible anti-rotation QD Socket
-Weighs just over 18 ounces
