Magnetospeed Never Ceases To Amaze Me

Sunday, January 6th, 2019

Not only does Magnetospeed make the industry standard in barrel mounted chronographs, they regularly release products you’d never expect, like the new Riflekühl, a detachable barrel fan.

There isn’t much information on the Riflekühl yet, but they did say this about the batteries.

We wanted to clarify a few concerns about the battery life. The listed 3+ hours of run time, is the expected continuous on time from the included battery before there is any decrease in performance. After that the unit will continue to operate for several hours with decreasing airflow. Based on much of the testing we have done, which will be released in the future, we anticipate easily getting 50 “cooling sessions” out of the included CR123 Lithium before needing to be replaced. We appreciate all the interest and look forward to getting these on the market soon.

Look for the Riflekühl and other great stuff from Magnetospeed at SHOT Show.

Bad Company Tactical: R2S Optics Mount and Accessory Mount

Thursday, January 3rd, 2019

Bad Company Tactical gave us a preview of their Rapid Retention System Optical and Accessory Mount. It’s a quick-change optics and accessory mount.

The R2S Optics Mount allows the end user to rapidly change the optics on the move with out having to remove the base from the weapon. The push of a single button allows end users to move from one optical platform to another in seconds and with out having to remove the entire optic and mount; this equates to not having to paint mark or guess exactly where the optic was mounted before for a proper eye relief or return to zero.  The R2S Optics Mount also allows for the end user to have more than one optic for more than one application, not the shooter can go from a dedicated magnified optic to a parallax free red dot with the push of a button. This system also allows for the use of quick detach magnifiers, lasers, lights, and other accessories like night vision.

Another good use will be the ability to have dedicated optics for different barrel lengths or even calibers.  With more adaptable weapon platforms the new R2S Optics Mount allows the end user to quickly switch not only your barrel or caliber out but to ensure that your pre-zeroed optic will return to zero once you lock it into place.  This will give end users a new level of adaptability for both optics and accessories.  There is even going to be an MPA RAT adaptable base plate for accessories supporting precision shooting supporting tripods, barricade braces, and bipods. Now the shooter will be able to simple “clip” into supporting systems for precision shooters quickly and with out failure.

This system will usher in a new adaptable platform that not only supports optics but the use of multiple platforms allowing for rapid customization without sacrificing repeatability and reliability.  The Bad Company Tactical R2S Optics Mount ensures adaptability for the most popular optics and supporting accessories.  The R2S Optics Mount will be debuted at Shot Show 2019 along with a new improved and more modular Rapid Retention System as well.
