Mod Dos by The MUB

Wednesday, January 30th, 2019

The Mod Dos which means MOD two was actually The MUB’s first design back in early 2017. After handing it out and playing with it guys told them it was too heavy so they came out with the wing design which became the Multi Use Block.

They ended up going back to that design once they saw how much an optics hub-style platform was actually necessary.

It has all the functionality of the original WING, plus they added 16 1/4-20 mounting platforms and eight total 2 slot MLOK channels, creating a larger surface area but only weighing in at 10oz.

This new design is equipped with a machined-in Arca Swiss plate, while maintaining the ability to convert to Manfrotto, Picatinny, or the ultra light Outdoorsman.

Competitive shooters are already using it as an alternative solution. Mounting it under your rifle creates a larger footprint for gaming scenarios and it’s large enough to use as a table.

Mod Dos is Made in the USA.

Soldiers Test Squad Designated Marksman Rifle At Fort Bliss

Wednesday, January 30th, 2019

Manufacturer of the new Squad Designated Marksman Rifle, Heckler & Koch began delivering weapons last fall. This rifle is based on the HK 417 (German Army designation G28) which was selected by the US Army in 2016 as the M110A1 Compact Semi Auto Sniper System. It fires the 7.62mm NATO cartridge.

Last week, 16 Soldiers assigned to Alpha Company, 4-17 Infantry Battalion, 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, took to the ranges on Fort Bliss, Texas to provide feedback to Program Executive Office Soldier (PEO Soldier). This information will be analyzed and used to make any changes to the SDM-R, accessories and ammunition before full fielding commences.

While the maximum effective distance of the new optic (SIG Optics TANGO6T) hasn’t been fully verified yet, Soldiers were able to positively engage targets at a distance of 800 meters. Other than the optic, both CSASS and SDM-R are the same configuration. The SDM-R also includes a Suppressor by OSS and an Image Intensifier Night Vision Sight (AN/PVS-3) and bipod. The rail is MLOK compatible.

Eventually, over 6000 SDM-Rs are expected to be fielded as part of the Directed Requirement, validated last year. This is a separate purchase than the M110A1 CSASS buy and this is an important distinction as this version is sometimes referred to as the M110A1 DMR.
