BATTLEARMS RACK Ambidextrous Charging Handle

Wednesday, November 14th, 2018

Founders Edition and Early Adopter Specials

Truly Original

The revolutionary new mechanism is unlike any other charging handle on the market.

We are pleased to receive U.S. Utility Patent No. 9964371, 9810494, 9587896.

No Weak Roll Pins

Even the best-designed products fail at their weakest point and we have taken the infamous roll pins out of the equation. The RACK™ was designed with no roll pins.

Smooth Sliding Latch

Not another pivoting mechanism to wear out the upper receiver notch, this patented latch system slides parallel with the receiver notch for slick and quick release and simultaneously minimizes wear.

Asymmetric Charging

Purpose built with asymmetric use in mind, the RACK™ will handle left or right side pulls with ease. Regardless of your charging handle racking technique, the RACK™ will perform with consistent and positive assurance.

Monolithic Modular Handle

Machined from one single piece of aluminum, the RACK™ handle was designed with strength in mind.

It is also key to the sliding latch and the positive and balanced pull of the charging handle.

MADE IN THE USA

The RACK™ is designed and engineered in the United States.

It is precision CNC machined from billet 7075 T6 Aircraft Grade Aluminum in our brand-new manufacturing facility in Henderson, Nevada.

Coated in a hard anodize black finish.

Angstadt Arms Introduces SCW-9 Sub Compact Weapon

Wednesday, November 14th, 2018

Awarded Prototype OTA by U.S. Army Sub Compact Weapon ProgramCharlotte, NC, (November 14, 2018) Angstadt Arms is proud to introduce the SCW-9 Sub Compact Weapon. The SCW-9 was designed to meet the strict requirements of the U.S. Army Sub Compact Weapon program. At just 14.7” long and 4 lbs., the SCW- 9 provides greater lethality than pistols and much greater concealability over standard rifles. With a rate of fire of 1,110 rounds per minute, the SCW-9 is capable of accurately engaging threats with a high volume of lethal force.

SCW-9 Key Design Elements
• Fully ambidextrous controls, including magazine release, safety selector, charging handle and bolt catch and release
• Accepts GLOCK® 9mm magazines
• 4” barrel with 3-lug adapter for sound suppression
• Ability to fire UTM marking and training rounds
• Overall length collapsed: 14.7”
• Collapsed stock length: 2.5”
• Weight: 4 lbs
• Rate of Fire (approximate): 1,100 rounds per minute

The Shortest Sub Compact Stock System

In addition to 9mm, the shortened stock system developed for the SCW-9 has been tested in both 5.56 NATO and .300 AAC Blackout calibers. This allows any M4 style rifle to reduce its overall collapsed stock length from 7” to just 2.5”. Making it the shortest telescoping AR-15 stock system available.

Angstadt Arms has plans to offer the shortened stock system to other manufacturers who wish to incorporate it into their firearms. A pistol brace version of the shortened stock system is currently in development for the U.S. commercial market.

Now Shipping – M-RAX Attachment System from Maxim Defense

Wednesday, November 14th, 2018

For immediate release – St. Cloud, MN – Maxim Defense today announced that it has begun shipping its newly designed M-RAX™ attachment system. With the M-RAX attachment system, installation and removal of Picatinny M-Slot Rail Sections is a breeze. Thanks to its spring-loaded screws, the M-RAX™ system removes mounting frustrations and protects from screws protruding beyond traditional M-Slot mounting systems. Merely push the screw in with a standard hex tool and rotate 90 degrees. The locking lugs engage that easily. Gone are the days of fighting with screws, aligning nuts dealing with messy liquid adhesives to create friction. Just push, turn, and tighten down for a secure mounting surface.

Unlike the traditional M-Slot mounting systems, M-RAX™ utilizes the full slot of your rail, ultimately maximizing valuable handguard space. This makes the M-RAX™ system end-to-end stackable, giving you the option to create seamless monolithic rail sections where needed.

The Patent Pending spring-loaded universal interface system eliminates the need to adjust the gap between the T-Nut and accessory to match the thickness of the mounting surface. Just use the supplied hex key (our your own 3/26” key) to push the spring-loaded hardware through the M-slot, twist 90 degrees to engage, release tension and then tighten normally.

M-RAX™ Picatinny Rail Sections are available in both Black and FDE with the following configurations.

Length/weight:
2 • M-Slot (3.145”) / 1.54oz
3 • M-Slot (4.720”) / 2.31oz
4 • M-Slot (6.295”) / 3.09oz
5 • M-Slot (7.870”) / 3.87oz
6 • M-Slot (9.445”) / 4.62oz

The M-RAX™ attachment system is available for licensing and sold throughout Maxim’s dealer network.

HOTSHOTS 2019 calendar pays tribute to Playboy Magazine founder in Edgar Brothers’ erotic blast from the past

Wednesday, November 14th, 2018

Glamour girls with guns pictured in a variety of retro-style classic Playboy poses make the HOTSHOTS 2019 calendar a sexy blast from the past! Now in its 12th year, the annual production features some of the most desirable models in the UK and the latest military kit distributed by Edgar Brothers in a vintage shoot.

The brainchild of UK-based Edgar Brothers’ Police and Military division, HOTSHOTS has already raised nearly £150,000 for various Wounded Soldiers charities in the UK and United States since launching in 2008.

The 2019 edition, which was shot in Salt Lake City, features exposed tan lines and sexy swimwear from the sixties and seventies in a Hugh Hefner multicam theme. The renowned founder father and editor-in-chief of Playboy Magazine died in September 2017.

Stunning Lucie-Rose Donlan, a 20-year-old professional model and sponsored surfer from Cornwall, is this year’s cover girl. She is particularly proud to be featuring in HOTSHOTS for the first time due to her family’s military connection.

She said: “It means so much to be a HOTSHOTS girl. I’ve always admired the calendar and feel very honoured to model and get the front cover. It’s really special for me to be supporting Wounded Veterans as my dad served in the military for many years before taking early retirement due to injury, and my cousin is currently serving. I desperately wanted to be part of the calendar so that I could feel that I’m helping, in some way, to support such an amazing cause.”

UK-based Rosie Danvers, Katya Sanchez and Sabine Jemeljanova also feature for the first time, while Hotshots favourites Kelly Hall, Stephanie Pietz, Kayla Cadorna and India Reynolds star again in vintage poses.

Mike Newman, Director of Edgar Brothers’ Police and Military Division, said: “Every year we strive to improve on the previous year’s calendar and 2019 is no exception. The Hugh Heffner theme is simply great fun and a tip of the hat to a icon that achieved so much. The girls loved the retro-style shoot in Salt Lake City and are proud to be lending their support to a very worthy cause.”

HOTSHOTS 2019 can be delivered globally and you can purchase the calendar directly in the USA/CANADA – www.hotshotscalendar.com or the UK/Rest of World www.hotshotscalendar.co.uk
