Heckler & Koch is exhibiting the HK G39 in 7.62 x 35mm (300 BLK) which is based on the 437 platform. It features a 9″ barrel, but 7″ barrels are also available.
The carbine was adopted last year by the German Kommando Spezialkräfte (KSK).
The carbine has an adjustable gasblock is outfitted with an A-TEC A-FLOW suppressor.
This year, Austria’s CLAW Gear is concentrating on firearms; not just accessories but a full Stoner pattern carbine build as well.
Chambered in 223 Rem they are semi-auto as well as full-auto variants in various barrel lengths.
Features:
Forged 7075 T6 aluminum for durable and stable upper & lower receivers
Direct gas system (Carbine Length) with a 10.5″ Lothar Walther precision barrel, cold-hammer forged and Cerakote coated for maximum durability and accuracy
Muzzle thread 1/2″-28 UNEF for easy mounting of muzzle devices and suppressors
Free-floating Clawgear Arms handguard with M-Lok and Picatinny interface for unrestricted customization
Mil-Spec trigger for proven reliability
You can try out their configurator here.
Additionally, they have unveiled a 10-round magazine extension for Magpul PMAGs. A few years back Austria restricted removable rifle magazines to just 10 rounds. This polymer extension doubles that amount.
New for 2025 is the Lowa Zicon GTX Mid.
The Zicon is made from a full grain leather upper with a GORE-TEX liner and a double injection mid-sole paired with Lowa’s COVERT outsole which is slip, oil, and fuel resistant. Additionally, the sole is resistant to electrostatic discharge.
A metal free construction the Zicon features closed loops, two zone lacing, and a lace pocket at the tongue.
The Asolo Fugitive has been popular with UK and allied SOF for years. Brigantes approached them to produce a dedicated version of the boot for military use.
The result is the Asolo Fugitive Tactical GTX with Brigantes now serving as brand advisor for a full line of tactical footwear which will be released in the future.
As for now, the Fugutive Tactical GTX (for GORE-TEX) is available order here. A non-GORE-TEX lined version is forthcoming.
It features a Brown on Brown tone colorway upper made from 1.6-1.8mm water-resistant suede and high tenacity nylon. There is also a rubber toe cap for durability in the scree and the sole is made from a PU midsole, with bi-density rubber bottom. Finally, it is built on a wide last.
Coming later the spring, the Kantamus is a 40L internal frame pack which introduces a new suspension system.
The width of the shoulder straps is adjustable and buckles can all be replaced in the field.
The lid can be removed and used as an assault pack and there’s a roll-down collar.
Flimmuur Tactical shows me a new 500D Cordura laminate they have developed which will be used by British Tactical.
The new laminate at the rear of the fabric is lighter than what is currently seen and acts like the water repellent coating. Using this fabric you don’t have to tape internal seams.
Unfortunately, an image doesn’t do it justice and you’ve really got to compare pouches made with this and with traditionally coated fabric to feel the difference in weight.
I’ll post more info once it’s available.
Germany’s Ghosthood now offers custom multi-spectral camouflage solutions. To learn more, visit www.ghost-hood.com.
This is Finnish company Varusteleka’s first outing at Enforce Tac and they’re featuring their new 7 layer clothing system.
This is their Layer 3 which is a simple Softshell jacket. It reminds me quite a bit of the original L5 jacket from SPEAR PCU so I really like the pocket layout. However, instead of EPIC fabric, it’s made from a lightweight but very durable Softshell weave.
Coming late Spring from www.varusteleka.com.
