UK-based Spartan Precision Equipment is a newcomer to the Sniper Comp vendor tent. They have been inroads into the US with their lightweight Javelin Bipod.
They use a combination of Carbon Fiber legs, 7075 aluminum fittings and a rare earth magnet attachment system which quickly connects the bipod to the rifle. They have a variety of fittings for different rifles.
Spartan Precision also offers a lightweight tripod called the ‘Sentinel’ Rifle & Optics Support System.
I had a chance to check out one of Dan Brokos’ (SGM, USA Ret) during last week’s USASOC Sniper Comp. Naturally, the Troy Industries carbine was outfitted with his new accessory line, but something struck me. He relies on a stippled GI pistol grip.
Designed and developed by Rheinmetall Soldier Electronics (RSE) in Stockach, Germany, the Vario-Ray Low Profile (VR-LP) is the latest version of their Vario-Ray line. It combines laser aiming and illuminating into a single device which is waterproof to 30m for 2 hours. It is very low profile, sitting just 1 inch above the Picatinny rail, with simple-to-use push button controls.
Available with Green or Red visible laser, the VR-LP also incorporates an IR illuminator and target marker. The laser block is aligned at the factory which simplifies boresighting. Additionally, there is an eye-safe training mode when the blue blocking screw is installed.
The VR-LP has standard Y-cable interfaces for use with the Rheinmetall modular weapon lamp or third-party lamps. It relies on a single CR-123A battery to provide 4 hours of dual IR 30/80mW use.
The VR-LP is offered in the United States by American Rheinmetall Systems, LLC.

At the US Tactical Supply I finally got a chance to check out the SAIN Defense Firearm Cleaning System In person. The amount of thought, and work, that went into this thing is impressive.
It’s available in 5.56 and 7.62 versions. Either one come packed in a Coyote or MultiCam pouch. The contents consist of:
Rod Sections for the kit are 17-4PH Stainless steel and 360 Brass (7.62 sections). (NOTE: 5.56 sections do not have bore riders due to small bore diameter. Uses standard, commercial (COTS) 8-32 male bore attachments.) Brass bore riders (softer than the bore) keep rod centered, reinforce the section joints, and keep the stainless rod off of the bore. Rod sections are knurled for assembly/disassembly with wet hands and without the use of tools. The rod is extremely strong and precision manufactured.
Picatinny Rail Interface (Patented): 6061 aluminum. Allows the rod to spin freely, forms a conventional T-handle, and also allows the weapon fore grip to be used as a handle. Also equipped with a 3/8” drive socket attachment which may be used as a weapons maintenance tool.
US Tactical Supply has both versions on GSA schedule (GS-07F-0259N).
The Kestrel ATI Wind Wrap from Shadow Tech (makers of the HOG Saddle) allows you to attach your Kestrel to Slings, Tripod Legs or PALS webbing (via MALICE Clip). But the most important features are that it maintains full operation and function of the wind meter and protects sensor holes from being obstructed by mud and debris.
It’s Berry Compliant and available in Coyote for the Kestrel 4500 or 5700.

Badger Ordnance showed me their new C1 Modular Safety in regular and extra large size. The massive version caught my eye, so its utility as a demonstrator worked.

The kit comes with long strong side lever, short weak side lever and weak side condition indicator cap for single sided use.
Made from 4140 steel and black Nitride hardened for a lifetime of service. Installs easily into any M16/AR-15/AR-10/SR-25 pattern rifle.
