Grey Ghost Precision Releases V3 & V4 GLOCK Slides

Friday, January 18th, 2019

Wallace, ID – Grey Ghost Precision, leading manufacturers of accurate, reliable, and attainable weapon systems, is excited to announce the release of their newest aftermarket upgrades to their GLOCK slide product line, for the GGP-17 and GGP-19.

The new additions, the V3 and V4, share the same precision engineering and tightened critical tolerances of their predecessors the V1 and V2, while featuring a first-ever hybrid MRDS cut, a modified optic footprint that allows for mounting of the Trijicon RMR or the slightly larger Leupold DeltaPoint Pro.

Through careful engineering and research, the team at GGP recognized that the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro and Trijicon RMR share a similar front profile without the bolt patterns intersecting one another. The primary difference in the footprints being their overall length; GGP resolved this with an aluminum shim plate for use with the shorter RMR; resulting in a dual-compatibility right out of the box, without the need for bulky adapter plates that raise the optic above the bore axis.

The aesthetic of new patterns on the V3 and V4 are worth attention as well. The depth of the serrations on the GGP V3 taper inwards as the cut moves up the slide, providing the shooter with a more aggressive grip near the top of the slide for press checks and malfunction clearing drills. The top of the V3 is designed with shallow cuts that also aid in press checks, while mimicking the design on top of the GGP GLOCK Barrels.

The design of the V4 slides is a studded micro-scale texture that provides an unmatched level of frictional grip in any direction of pull. Reminiscent of the V2 slide with “geoscales,” this pattern is smaller and provides a much higher level of frictional grip than those of traditional serrations. The V4 is equipped with a top window cutout for weight balance.

V3/V4 SPECS

-Machined from 17-4 Billet Stainless Steel for tighter-than-factory-tolerances

-Black Nitride coated inside and out for superior corrosion resistance

-Dual compatibility with Leupold DPP and Trijicon RMR with supplied screws and shim plate

-V3 Slide Pattern with tapered depth serrations for varying aggressiveness from top to bottom

-V4 Slide Pattern with studded micro-scales for enhanced frictional grip

-Available for Gen 3 or Gen 4 G19 compatible frames

The Grey Ghost Precision V3 and V4 are available for pre-order now for February delivery.

Visit www.greyghostprecision.com for more details.

The team will also be on hand at the Grey Ghost Precision booth (#4366) during the 2019 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, held January 22-25th.

American Defense Mfg Launches Titanium Products

Friday, January 18th, 2019

New Berlin, WI. January 2019 – American Defense Manufacturing, a leading manufacturer in high quality, high performance firearms and accessory mounts, is pleased to announce the introduction of Titanium in its mounts and lever assembly.

ADM has gained the capability of investment casting or Metal Injection Molding(MIM) titanium. For years, manufacturers in the firearms industry have tried to use titanium but was never done properly. It typically starts with a block of very expensive titanium that is machined down to the final part. Because it is harder than aluminum, it requires more machine time (labor), more tool wear and replacement, and worst of all, it leaves most of this expensive titanium on the shop floor, unused.

For 2019, ADM will be transitioning all of its mounts that include an aluminum/steel QD Autolock assembly to a full 6-4 aerospace titanium lever assembly. Benefits for this upgrade include:

• 59.9% lighter than current lever system

• Cross bolt thread strength increases to over 1,800 lbs. compared to 900 lbs. for steel.

• 63% lower thermal expansion/movement (less optical shift).

In addition to the titanium lever assembly,

ADM will begin producing several of its

popular mounts in full 6-4 aerospace

titanium. These mounts include ADM’s

Delta and Recon 30 mm, one-piece,

cantilevered scope mounts, the 170 and 170s mounts for the Surefire® Scout Lights, as well as low, co- witness, and lower 1/3 co-witness mounts for the Aimpoint® T1 and Trijicon® MRO red dot sights. These mounts have been skeletonized to significantly reduce overall weight, sometimes by up to 50%, and are the best solution for optics due to its superior thermal performance over aluminum.

“We are extremely proud and excited to begin incorporating titanium into our products. Our plans are not only to broaden our product offerings in the future, but to also act as an OEM by providing our titanium capabilities and services to other manufacturers in the industry who want to benefit from the advantages of titanium”, said John Gross, Chief Operating Officer for American Defense Manufacturing. “The firearms industry is driven by reductions in Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) and titanium, when used properly, can achieve significant results in these categories”.

Aluminum mounts with titanium lever assemblies are scheduled to begin product in March of 2019 and full titanium mounts are scheduled to begin production in April/May of 2019.

Tango Down Licenses AK Magazine Design to XTech Tactical

Thursday, January 17th, 2019

January 3rd, 2019

Mesa, AZ

XTech Tactical, an innovative firearms accessory manufacture based in Mesa, AZ announces the company has reached terms with Tango Down on a licensing deal. Here is the background of the licensed technology:

Around 2002, Tango Down released its AR/M4 ARC Magazine which featured a waffle pattern on its side walls and tread patterns on its front and rear. There were never any patents related to the features. That product continues to be sold today, and it is one of the strongest magazines available for the AR/M4 platform.

Around 2008, Tango Down designed and developed an AK magazine using the same waffle and tread features present on its ARC magazine. Due to the erroneous claims made by Century Arms against XTech Tactical in their common law trade dress lawsuit, XTech Tactical is announcing that it has licensed the rights to all IP related to the AK magazine formally known as the US palm AK30, from Tango Down. Tango Down designed the magazine and has never sold the design to any party including US Palm.

XTech Tactical does not require these rights or any rights from an outside party for its MAG47. “Tango Down has been a strong ally to our company, and we are very thankful for their cooperation during this time!” stated Jeremy Deadman, XTech Tactical’s Director of Sales and Marketing.

Century Arms has stated it acquired US Palm in March of 2018 after signing a terms sheet with US Palm’s owners in January of 2018. Century Arms previously had filed trademark applications on the US Palm name and logo in August of 2017. In September of 2018, Century Arms filed and announced its first lawsuit against XTech Tactical, which was voluntarily dismissed by Century Arms.

Surprising to XTech Tactical, Century Arms then refiled in Arizona adding an AK Grip for which XTech Tactical is solely one of several dealers. Century Arms also added one of XTech Tactical’s owners as a defendant. This second suit is still active in Arizona.

XTech Tactical will be releasing several new products leading up to and at SHOT Show 2019 at its booth #4169. “We are believers in a free market that welcomes innovation and encourages fair competition. We will stay true to our core mission of listening to our customers, offering great customer service, and bringing innovation to the market. We could not be more excited for this year’s SHOT Show!” stated Deadman.

Samson Manufacturing to Supply Israeli Defense Forces with Flip-up, Backup Iron Sights

Wednesday, January 16th, 2019

KEENE, NH – Samson Manufacturing announced today that they have been chosen to supply the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) with their flip-up, backup iron sights (BUIS) for IDF M4 Carbines.

Working closely with the IDF, the Samson sights passed rigorous environmental and field testing prior to being assigned IDF Part Number 2888-88124. Significant quantities of this rugged and dependable sight have been in IDF field trials for almost a year.

These sights differ slightly from Samson’s standard offerings, featuring a slotted mounting screw and modified picatinny clamp. Also, per IDF specifications, the A2-style aperture is mounted such that the small aperture presents when the sight is deployed.

Samson COO Tim Mulverhill confirmed the announcement, “We are extremely pleased to have been chosen to support the IDF with our back-up sights. The IDF operational tempo and physical environment is notoriously hard on small arms equipment. The Israelis thoroughly test their field gear accordingly, and I am pleased to say that Samson sights have met the challenge.”

All work will be completed at Samson’s facility in Keene, New Hampshire. Samson will be adding this IDF version to their regular product offerings as IDF 2888-88124. Interested customers can review the IDF Sight and other Samson products at SHOT Show, booth 20327, in Las Vegas from January 22-25, 2019.
