Lancer’s new L5AWM® Safety Magazine provides multiple life-saving features for non-lethal training.

Quakertown, PA – The job of a military service member or law enforcement officer is difficult enough without having to worry about being injured during a routine training exercise. That concern, however, is well-founded based upon the frequency and severity of incidents that occur during simulated combat training. The majority of these injuries – and even deaths – are the result of live ammunition being accidentally introduced into the training environment.

Until recently, training exercises involving blank ammunition or non-lethal marking ammunition still required the use of standard rifle magazines. These magazines can be easily mixed up with magazines containing live ammunition; the results of which can, and do, prove deadly.

Lancer Systems takes soldier safety very seriously and is proud to announce the official launch of their L5AWM® Safety Magazine. These new Safety Magazines are specifically designed with a number of safety features not currently available in any other training magazine, including an updated internal geometry that inhibits even a single round of standard live ammunition from being loading into a rifle. Additionally, the translucent magazine body provides instant visual confirmation of ammunition type and round count, allowing instructors and trainees alike to have complete confidence during training exercises.

Lancer’s L5AWM Safety Magazines are compatible with most M4-pattern weapon platforms chambered in 5.56mm NATO and have been extensively tested and proven to be reliable with non-lethal cartridges from Simunition®, Force on ForceTM, and standard 5.56mm blanks.

GUNNISON, Utah – (August 26, 2019) New for fall, Christensen Arms has announced the Modern Precision Rifle Chassis. It is the company’s first bolt-action rifle chassis. The Christensen Arms Modern Precision Rifle Chassis is the same ultra-lightweight adjustable system found on the Modern Precision Rifle offered as an individual component. Built in the USA with aerospace grade aluminum and carbon fiber elements—the chassis delivers effortless form and function—all while weighing less than 3 and a half pounds. 

“Ever since we launched the Modern Precision Rifle, an independent chassis has been one of the most common requests we receive,” said Jason Christensen, President of Christensen Arms. “We’re pleased to expand the platform.”

The system is shipped assembled and includes a custom free-floating carbon fiber handguard with M-Lok™. The platform also features an adjustable carbon fiber comb and length of pull. The folding buttstock reduces the length of the chassis by 9 inches, allowing for more convenient storage and transportation. The MAGNELOCK™ technology is designed for ease of use, with a smooth release button and a powerful magnet instead of a cumbersome clasp. The chassis also features a standard AR-style grip.

The Modern Precision Rifle Chassis is offered in both Black and Desert Brown anodized finishes for a retail price of $1,095. Options include a short-action model with a 14 or 17 inch handguard and a long-action model with a 17 inch handguard. The new product is currently available for purchase on the Christensen Arms webstore.

Since its release in 2013, the Gripstop has gone through a series of improvements and design changes based off user feed back. True North Concepts has taken the opportunity to fine tune these changes for the re-release of their Picatinny rail mounted variant. As the firearms industry has moved away from the 1913 Picatinny mounting interface, it still remains the standard throughout the U.S. Military and most allied nations. The majority of issued weapons are already bulky and heavy, and TNC wished to reduce the weight of the Gripstop while improving performance. The result is the lightest, strongest Picatinny variant ever built. This new Gripstop weights just 1.7 ounces, and is built from 6061 T6 aluminum for maximum durability. It is currently available in both Earth Brown and Black colored Milspec Type 3 hardcoat anodized finishes. The included mounting hardware is built from tool grade steel, and is black nitride finished for maximum corrosion resistance. After years of feedback from the field the design now features a specialty flat-head, flush fit mounting screw, allowing any common screwdriver or multitool to be used for mounting and maintenance. The Picatinny rail Gripstop carries the same lifetime “No questions asked” replacement warranty as the rest of the Gripstop family, and is available now on the True North Concepts website.
