Thursday, September 21st, 2017Blue Force Gear Sponsors Annual USASOC Urban Assaulter Challenge – Unveils Long Awaited MARCO Marking Stick Dispenser
Thursday, September 21st, 2017POOLER, Ga., Sept. 20, 2017 – Blue Force Gear®, the designer and manufacturer of the world’s finest weapon slings and tactical equipment, will sponsor the United States Army Special Operations Command’s (USASOC) 2nd Annual Urban Assaulter Challenge slated for Monday, September 25, through Friday, September 29, at Fort Bragg, N.C. USASOC hosts this event so teams can put their training to the test and see who is the ultimate winner.
As a Top Level Sponsor, Blue Force Gear will be showcasing its new product lineup, including the newest product, MARCO™, designed to provide a more efficient, effective and compact way to carry marking lights for room clearing. Director of Product Development Stephen Hilliard will be in attendance at the on-range vendor display located on Range 37 to demonstrate products and answer questions.
With the MARCO marking stick dispenser, Blue Force Gear has revolutionized room clearing in tactical operations. Users can save critical preparation time during pre-mission tasks by not having to unwrap, tape, and bundle marking sticks. The dispenser design makes it simple for users – simply open the foil package with the pre-loaded dispenser, insert the MARCO dispenser inside of the belt or MOLLE pouch and proceed with the mission. The design provides a very low profile and prevents the accidental activation of a marking stick, which can cause unwanted light.
“We’re always proud to participate in events where we can work alongside the members of Special Operations Forces, one of our primary customer groups, and engage them on feedback about our products” said Stephen Hilliard, Director of Product Development for Blue Force Gear. “Our goal is to provide the armed forces with the best possible equipment to help fulfill their missions. We take their feedback seriously and we’re proud to support those vying for the title of “Best Assaulter” during the Urban Assaulter Challenge.”
About USASOC Urban Assaulter Challenge:
The USASOC Urban Assaulter Challenge places twelve, four-man teams against each other in a series of ten combat-oriented events that challenge their skill level, training methods and overall knowledge unique to the Special Operations Assaulter.

MDM 17 – SureFire Advanced Rifle Operating Core
Wednesday, September 20th, 2017SureFire’s new Advanced Rifle Operating Core is a system consisting of an enhanced Bolt Carrier Group, Barrel Extension, Buffer and Spring.
Because AROC requires a new Barrel Extension, they’ve also developed a Drop-In BCG called the Optimized Bolt Carrier. It includes Buffer and Spring. Although it’s not fully optimized like AROC, it is backward compatible with existing Mil-Spec AR pattern rifles.
Below, you can see (top to bottom) the AROC, OBC and standard AR BCGs.
The AROC Bolt offers 30% longer bolt lugs. Naturally, this means it requires a longer Barrel Extension. This was done to eliminate bolt lug breakage.
Additionally, the Buffer is longer than the Mil-Spec version. The H8S comes with AROC and is 8 oz. The 2 oz H2S comes with the OBC. The included Action Spring offers additional tension.
Regardless of which SureFire BCG, the Gas Key features a single screw which SureFire’s Barry Dueck related is stronger than the standard two screw model.
The BCG features an internal weight which is spring loaded in both directions. This, along with the other elements, combine to offer additional travel time. This also affects the angle from the bolt to the feed ramp. With a standard M4, the angle is 52 Deg. For an M16A4, it’s 45 Deg. But with AROC, it’s 37 Deg.
When the Bolt is at the end of its stroke while using a Mil-Spec BCG, it takes 28 milliseconds for the bolt to travel back into battery. With AROC, it’s 38 milliseconds. That slight difference is signifigant, especially when firing full auto or suppressed, or both.
On the range, AROC was demonstrated successfully with both Piston and Direct Impingement rifles. Although we previewed a version of this at 2016 SOFIC, SureFire has been working with suppliers to bring the cost down signifigantly from the initial estimates. At this point, Bolt Carrier Groups are a commodity item. Prices are so low that even specialized versions, such as this, have to be price competitive as possible.
No word yet in when this will be released commercially.
