The system’s Reader & Dashboard Applications diagnose the data retrieved, elevating preemptive maintenance and smart inventory management. The system maximizes armory efficiency, alerting the armorer which weapons require service, supply status, making an easier life for the operators and a futuristic approach. The collected data is sorted and displayed in an easy to use interface, with customizable features.

“This new product Secubit introduces, is an innovative technological boost to the industry’s approach regarding weapon usage, which will – for the first time and from now on – be on a whole new level”, says Liran Tam, CSO at Secubit. “Secubit’s perspective on the use of Artificial Intelligence in a system such as this, is originated in our striving to ultimately elevate operator’s capabilities, which is achieved via WeaponLogicTM Ecosystem – an accurate, cost efficient game-changing suite of tools”, he adds. Mr. Tam goes on to say, that “Artificial Intelligence is here to enhance each of our capabilities in various fields, by taking experts and crowds knowledge, and making it accessible and simple to comprehend. Our technology is here to bring that unique wisdom to the personnel operating the weapon, bettering all aspects of weapon usage; from operational enhancement to usage-based maintenance and smart inventory.”

WeaponLogicTM Smart Counter is a light-weight, simple to operate device, with an information storage capacity of up to one million shots, a rapid data presentation and a rechargeable battery with up to 10 operation years. The information that is collected in the WeaponLogicTM Smart Counter is transferred via RFID technology to the Reader and provides data on the weapon’s status in 3 seconds. This fully MIL-STD 810G system includes a 5″ outdoor viewable HD screen, a USB 3.0 PC interface, and a rechargeable 4300 mAh Li-lon battery with an operating life of up to ten years.

The Dashboard application provides data analysis and comprehensive representation of weapon’s condition and inventory management. It is compatible with Windows 7 and higher and is integration-ready. Both the Reader and The Dashboard applications provide usage data and analytics reflecting the weapon’s operational status for preventative and precise maintenance, along with inventory management features.

New precision rifle handguard for AR-15s and Ruger Precision Rifles from Catalyst Arms!

Saturday, January 19th, 2019

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Catalyst Arms Introduces A True Precision Rifle Handguard For AR-15 and Ruger Precision Rifles

Beaverton, OR – Catalyst Arms, LLC, a firearms accessory company, has introduced Fast Track™, a true precision rifle handguard for AR-15s and the Ruger Precision Rifle. Designed for precision rifle competitors and long-range shooters, Fast Track™ has the features they have asked for in a handguard such as an integrated Arca Swiss style rail, flat sides and bottom, a smooth top for greater scope clearance and M-LOK® slots for accessories.

Fast Track™ has an Arca Swiss style rail the full length of the bottom of the handguard. This provides maximum versatility for mounting directly to tripods or attaching accessories that can be quickly moved forward or backward as the shooting situation requires. Unlike add on rails that stop well before the magazine well, Fast Track’s full-length rail allows shooters to put the rifle action up against barricades or mount tripods as far back as possible for maximum stability. The integrated rail is also a non-snag design that will not hang up on gear or while sliding the rifle back and forth or getting into position. The flat sides and bottom make the Fast Track™ much more stable than round handguards when shooting from bags, barricades, packs or other surfaces. A low-profile top provides maximum scope clearance for mounting optics as close to the bore as possible. M-LOK® slots run the length of the handguard at the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions for mounting other rails or accessories. For ease of installation Fast Track™ attaches to both AR-15s and Ruger Precision Rifles via a dual barrel nut system that is easy to align and torque to proper specification.

Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and hard coat anodized black, the Fast Track™ is lightweight and has a slim profile that is easy to hold and maneuver. The Catalyst Arms Fast Track™ is available for shipment February 1, 2019 with an MSRP of $219.95.

Unity Tactical Announces FAST Optics Mounts

Saturday, January 19th, 2019

Unity Tactical is proud to announce FAST optics mounts as the latest addition to our growing product line. FAST optic mounts are designed to facilitate quicker and more intuitive target engagement and is comprised of several different mounts and accessories.

FAST Mounts will be available for all commonly used/issued optics in the military and law enforcement communities and like all Unity Tactical products, they are packed with smart features. FAST mounts are machined from 7075-T6, available in Type 3 black or FDE anodizing and can be configured for multiple mounting options.

FAST Micro Mount

Compatible with most optics that feature the ubiquitous Aimpoint Micro footprint, the Patent Pending FAST Micro Mount elevates the capability of your optic. It securely attaches to Milspec M1913 Picatinny rail via a no-snag dual cross-bolt clamp or optional American Defense Mfg patented QD Auto Lock Lever. Other mounting solutions such as captured ½“ hex nut are available to units on a volume basis. The optical centerline of the mount is a nominal 2.26” above the rail. The increased height of this optic mount works great with NVG’s, gas masks, and heads up shooting techniques while sitting only 1/3” of an inch higher than other popular 1.93” mounts. The mount features built-in, standard 1.42” height, windage-adjustable back up rear iron sight as well as an optional elevation adjustable front sight. The front sight is removable so shooters can utilize the built-in rear sight with a standard front sight for a more traditional sight radius. The FAST Micro Mount eliminates the need for separate rear BUIS, saving weight and space. Weighing in at 3.0 oz, the FAST Micro Mount competes with the lightest optic mount / rear BUIS combos on the market. These are currently in production and will be available late Q1 2019.

MSRP $169

FAST FTC Magnifier Mount

The first ever FTC (Flip-To-Center) magnifier mount is here. Compatible with Aimpoint 3X and some other 30mm tube magnifiers, our Patent Pending FTC Mag Mount swings the optic inboard and down, stowing it almost completely within the receiver’s footprint while not obstructing the sight picture of the red dot optic. This reduces the snag hazard and protects the magnifier. The FAST FTC Mag Mount operates via force-to-overcome, so deployment and stowage is… fast. It weighs 4.5 oz and is compatible with all FAST red-dot mounts. These are currently in production and will be available late Q1 2019.

MSRP $198

FAST Riser Mount

The FAST Riser is a universal solution for EOTech EXPS, Vortex UH-1, Leupold LCO, and other similarly-sized optics. The FAST Riser places the optical centerline at a nominal 2.26” and is fully compatible with the FAST FTC Mag Mount. It attaches to weapons via dual cross bolt clamp and can be augmented with an optional offset flip-up iron sight. FAST Risers are currently in production and will be available late Q1 2019.

MSRP $88

FAST Offset Options

The FAST Offset options will initially include a Rear Iron Sight, Trijicon RMR mount, and Aimpoint Micro footprint mount and will be compatible with the Riser, Scope Mount, and ACOG mounts. Our optional offset rear sight is compatible with most offset front sights. Offset mounts are slated for release late 2019. MSRP TBD

FAST Scope Mount

FAST Scope Mounts are slated to be available late 2019. The testing model shown is a 1.93” height, but may become available in other heights. Designed to achieve a balance of weight and strength, these mounts feature the same offset integration as the riser. MSRP TBD

FAST ACOG Mount

FAST ACOG Mounts will be available late 2019. The test model shown is standard height, but may become available in other heights. These mounts feature the same offset integration as the riser.

MSRP TBD

Please stop by booth 6502 at SHOT SHOW 2019 to test FAST and see our other new products.

Interested dealers should contact us at info@unitytactical.com to get pricing and place pre-orders.

If you are retail customer and interested in these mounts, please visit our website at www.unitytactical.com to sign up for in stock notifications and follow us on social media for more information and release dates.

“All of us here at Unity are extremely excited about this product release as it moves us closer to better accessory integration, especially with FUSION and some other to be announced products. We have a lot planned for 2019.” – Trent Zimmer, President

Pinnacle Performance from Timney – Elite Hunter Now Available for Model 700

Saturday, January 19th, 2019

Phoenix, Arizona (January 21, 2019) — Timney Triggers, the oldest and largest trigger manufacturer in the world and the leader in the aftermarket trigger category, announced today the next evolution of accuracy in a drop-in, replacement trigger for the iconic Remington Model 700 and Model 700 footprint actions is here – The Timney Elite Hunter.

“The Model 700 was introduced in 1962 and Timney’s customers requested an aftermarket trigger for the 700 shortly thereafter,” said Calvin Motley, Director of Product Development for Timney. “John Vehr and I took a look at the Timney design in 2004 when I began working with him and made improvements based on what we had available at the time – as far as metals and machines. And we have been constantly improving and expanding our 700 offerings since that day. In fact, that is exactly what we did again with the Elite Hunter trigger. I took my 14 years of knowledge and engineering on our 700 replacement triggers and came up with what I think is the absolute best hunting trigger we’ve built for the Model 700.”

Timney engineered every component of the new Elite Hunter to elevate your accuracy with fully-adjustable over travel and pull weight. The Elite Hunter is adjustable from 1 ½ – 4 pounds and includes a bolt stop release and a trigger blocking side safety to ensure reliability.

The trigger’s sear and trigger shoe are precision-machined, heat treated to 56 Rockwell with a black oxide trigger coating and an NP-3 plated sear for maximum lubricity and a lifetime of reliable performance. The Elite Hunter is backed by the legendary Timney No Hassle, Lifetime Warranty.

The new Elite Hunter is Timney’ s latest overnight success – 72 years in the making.

Timney Elite Hunter (Model 510-V2 – Retail $149.95)

Timney Triggers is dedicated to ensuring our customers a lifetime of hassle-free shooting enjoyment. That is evident in the last step of the manufacturing process, when each trigger is hand assembled, tested, and calibrated for the specific rifle model it is intended for before it’s delivered to the customer’s door.

New for 2019 – Kinetic Development Group updates the SCAR MREX M-Lok System

Friday, January 18th, 2019

The SCAR MREX (Modular Receiver Extension) has successfully served the shooting community and Special Operations units in combat for over four years. The MREX has made the SCAR 16 and 17 a more versatile modular platform, accommodating a variety of accessories with M-Lok, direct mount, and picatinny mounting options. The MREX greatly improves the shooting ergonomics and balance of the SCAR rifle. Over the years, KDG, creator of the MREX, has been listening to the needs of both commercial and military customers, tallying the most important desired features to incorporate into the MREX MKII.

Kinetic Development Group is proud to release the SCAR MREX MKII. There are a few obvious differences / updates from the original MREX. M-Lok slots are present in more locations than the previous model, spanning the entire length of the MREX MKII. M-Lok has been added to the 2 o’clock and 10 o’clock position as a new mounting location and shield from the gas block. The MKII has the desired step down forward of the front folding sight like the MREX, but no picatinny. The traditional picatinny in this 12 o’clock position has been replaced with M-Lok slots allowing for more mounting options. The MKII will be offered in three different lengths instead of two. The lengths available will be the MKII 6.5, 4.25, and 2.2. These designations signify the length the MREX MKII extends (in inches) beyond the SCAR upper receiver. The 6.5” length is the ideal full size rail extension, same as its predecessor (MREX M-Lok 6.5). We have updated the MREX M-Lok 4.9 (Mid-length) to an overall length of 4.25” to accommodate the needs of issued rifle users. This length is ideal for use on a SCAR MK17 with a 13” barrel and issued FNH suppressor. Finally, the MKII 2.2 is ideal for use with a SCAR 16 10” SBR configurations, or any SCAR user looking to add M-Lok to their rifle without having a rail that extends beyond the gas block. All versions of the SCAR MREX MKII will be available in Type III hard coat anodized black and Magpul Flat Dark Earth Cerakote.

Like the original MREX there is no weight penalty by adding the MREX MK II to your SCAR. The MKII rails are easier to install with less hardware in unnecessary locations. Like the original MREX, once installed on your barrel assembly, the MREX MKII can stay attached to the barrel, allowing easier change to configuration.

MREX MKII will be available March 2019 from kineticdg.com and Kinetic Development Group’s loyal dealers and distributors. If you are attending Shot Show 2019, please visit KDG at booth 3166 to see the new MREX MKII. For more information, visit kineticdg.com/mrex-mkii or email at info@kineticdg.com
