The Lightweight Endplate (LE) was designed to eliminate the requirement to stake Receiver Extension Castle Nuts.
It comes in two styles, the K1 is a tapered thread and the K2 uses an Omega Clip which slides into a slot and captures everything together. Either version requires just 15 inch pounds of pressure to install.
Maxim Defense has been doing some great work for the AR platform in two primary areas, Collapsible Stocks and Handguards. Both of the new products they showed me support this work.
Max-Stax are M-LOK compatible Picatinny rail sections. What makes these different is that they can be stacked against one another, with no wasted rail space. Seen here mounted to Maxim Defense’s Slimline M-LOK Handguards, Max-Star come in 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 section bricks.
The Next Generation Buffer System Introduces six new buffers, each with the type and Wright engraved on the head.
S1 – 3.30 oz
S2 – 3.90 oz
H1 – 4.35 oz
H2 – 4.65 oz
H3 – 4.90 oz
P – 7.25 oz
Maxim also plans to introduce two more Action Spring (Light and Heavy), offering customers up to 15 Buffer and Spring combinations, to support virtually any AR build.
In the photo you also get a sneak peek of their upcoming Gen 2 SCW stock system. It will include a proprietary Bolt Carrier Group, but it incorporates an anti-tilt feature, although the Buffer itself has the same internal structure as the other Next Generation Buffers.
FUSION, by Unity Tactical, is a system of modular, multi-purpose components that provide end users unparalleled flexibility in mounting accessories to weapon platforms. It offers complete control in attachment of lights, lasers, sights, and other equipment to achieve complete integration, optimal placement, lightest weight, and most economy of space.
This FUSION configuration features the Micro Hub 2.0, Backup Iron Sight – Fixed, and Ring Light Mount – 1”. It’s a compact way to attach the most common handheld lights to a weapon. In this case, a Surefire Fury is mounted directly to the Micro Hub, keeping it close to the rail and above the bore. Above bore light mounts are great for making sure your light clears a barricade. This placement is also ideal for tailcap activation with the thumb, that doesn’t require breaking of the shooting grip. Using handheld lights on a gun is an economical way of creating a weapon light. It’s a great way to set up a patrol or home defense carbine. The Ring Light Mount – 1” accepts most Surefire and Streamlight handheld lights. The FUSION Backup Iron Sight – Fixed is a rock solid front sight for AR-pattern and similar rifles. The ribbed rear surface eliminates glare from light, naturally and quickly drawing focus to the front sight post. The Front sight post is an off the shelf component that is fully compatible with aftermarket posts and is adjustable for elevation.
FUSION components are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and MILSPEC Type 3 anodized. Designed and made in the US from US materials and good ole’ fashioned American innovation. FUSION is the original and best modular accessory mounting system. Make your gear work for you, not the other way around.
FUSION components are available from Unity Tactical and authorized dealers to build your perfect setup.
Based on the Raptor Ambidextrous Charging Handle, the Raptor-SL features slim-line handles for customers who require an ultra low-profile, anti-snag design. From rapid palm “blading” or finger thumb charges for the weapon, the motion is fluid and fast from either strong or support side. Made in the USA from aircraft grade 7075 aluminum and milspec anodized.

This FUSION configuration features the Micro Hub 2.0, Backup Iron Sight – Folding, and Lightwing – Left. The build is mounted in front of an AN/PEQ-15 laser and supports a Surefire M600U Scout Light. Mounting the Micro Hub forward of a laser allows a pressure switch (shown here with TAPS) to be snugged right up behind the laser body for easy access to both onboard and remote controls. The Micro Hub is extremely low profile, creating no interference with lasers. The Backup Iron Sight – Folding is narrow enough to easily fit between the apertures of dual output lasers. The Lightwing will readily accept direct-mount of Surefire Scout and Millennium series weapon lights, as well as Streamlight PROTAC Rail-Mount lights. This Lightwing is the Left Side variant, but mounted backwards on the right side of the rifle – cantilevering the light within the footprint of the rail. Attaching lights to the Lightwing raises them up above the bore and tucks them tighter under the laser body for an extremely compact package.

TangoDown™ Inc. is excited to introduce the new addition to the Vickers Tactical™ product lineup! Join us in welcoming the Vickers Tactical™ Carry Trigger (VTCT). There are two (2) different models which accommodate the large variety of Glock™ models on the market (see below).
The VTCT is a flat faced polymer trigger. The flat faced trigger has become quite popular among shooters and offers the perception of a lighter trigger press. When developing the VTCT, the mechanical take-up was not modified. However, over-travel was shortened to offer a quicker reset, which allows for a quicker follow up shot.
The VTCT is made from the same material as the OEM trigger, so there isn’t the risk of wear/damage to the frame. The trigger is an insulator, not a heat conductor and will not get hot while spending the day on the range.
From Larry Vickers – “After using a pre-production prototype version of the new Tangodown™/Vickers Tactical™ Glock trigger on my training pistol for a period of time, I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. In fact, of the multiple students I’ve had try the trigger I’ve yet to receive a negative comment. The Tangodown crew hit this one out of the park and it is, in my opinion, truly the Glock™ trigger ‘Perfected’.”
The VTCT is easily installed in minutes by a Certified Glock™ Armorer.
For further details, visit www.TangoDown.com to learn even more about the Vickers Tactical™ Carry Trigger.
The VTCT-001 fits all Gen3/Gen4 Glock™ models 9mm (including the G43), .40, .45ACP, 10mm. Also accommodates the G42 .380 model.
The VTCT-002 fits all Gen5 Glock™ models currently on the market.
Includes the following: (1) Trigger Shoe & (1) Trigger Bar Connector Pin
Color Availability: Black
MSRP: $37.95

Virginia Beach, Va. (July 2018) – SENTRY Products Group, manufacturer of Hexmag magazines, the most advanced and versatile magazine on the market for the AR-15/AR-10 platform, proudly announces the launch
of its first pistol magazines for the GLOCK® platform.
The unique design of the new Hexmag® GLOCK compatible magazine sets the tone for SENTRY’s future direction with the Hexmag line. “This is the first new product since the acquisition of Hexmag and our goal was to come out with a completely new design blending the best of metal and polymer magazine technologies with Hexmag’s signature design attributes,” stated Eric Yeates, VP of Product Development. “The result is a skeletonized stainless-steel core and feed lips providing strength and reliability with a polymer over mold for ultimate durability.”
The design, compatible with GLOCK Gen 3 through Gen 5 models G17, G19, G26 and G34, also accepts current available aftermarket base pad extenders designed for the existing GLOCK 17 magazine. A round counter on the back provides an indicator of capacity while loading to a maximum of 17-rounds. A 10-round version will follow the initial launch for states and areas with capacity restrictions. Additional models are under development to compliment the offering.
The design incorporates what users have come to expect from Hexmag: proprietary advanced composites for strength and reliability. The signature HextureÔ finish creates a more secure grip in all environmental conditions. Textured serrations on the front of the magazine body provide for rapid indexing during magazine changes. A self-lubricating anti-tilt follower allows for ease of loading and flawless operation. A heat treated stainless-steel spring offers a lifetime of trouble free performance. The new Hexmag GLOCK also features Hexmag’s tool-less takedown and HexIDcolor identification system, increasing safe operation and personalization.
MSRP: $21.99
SENTRY has partnered with Amchar Wholesale and Midway USA for initial product distribution and all orders can be secured through these outlets. Consumers can also order direct at HexmagStore.com.
(Wilsonville, OR) — Crimson Trace®, recognized as America’s Top Brand of laser sights and lights in a shooting sports industry survey of shooters and hunters, offers numerous lighting upgrade options to owners of modern sporting rifles (MSRs) and most rail-equipped long guns. The easy-to-install laser sights and lights can be used on a wide assortment of firearms that are held for self- and home-defense purposes, and for hunting in numerous states. The great news is the options can be found in more than 2,800 dealers across America—or quickly ordered online.
Leading the way in long-gun upgrades are the new Crimson Trace Tactical Lights. These innovations include the CWL-102 white LED light, which delivers up to 500 lumens and can be activated with a tap-on/tap-off tail cap or via a remote on/off activation pad attached to the light with a linking cable. That activation pad can be placed in position on the firearm with Velcro straps or a stick-in-place strip. Another similar light model, the CWL-202 provides up to 900 lumens of output. These lights are impact resistant and water resistant up to a depth of 1 meter. Models are available to fit standard rails or the M-Lok®/Keymod accessory slots.
Crimson Trace also offers the award-winning LiNQ® wireless laser sight and light solution. This remotely operated green laser sight and bright light is designed to securely attach to any MSR that is equipped with a M1913 Picatinny or Weaver accessory rail. The compact module of the LiNQ laser/light system houses a green laser sight and powerful 300-Lumen LED white light. The replacement activation grip controls the module through a secure singular closed system. That module can be operated in four modes: light only, laser only, laser and light, and laser and strobe light. The grip and the module are pre-paired at Crimson Trace’s state-of-the-art factory when packaged for shipping, and FREE mounting tools and batteries are included.
Another popular MSR upgrade is the Crimson Trace MVF-515™ laser sight. This Modular Vertical Foregrip has a bright 200-Lumen LED white light partnered with a red or green laser sight. The user simply mounts the MVF-515 laser sight on a lower rail (Picatinny or similar) on the rifle’s forend, tightens the mounting screws, and then adjusts the unit for windage and elevation using the FREE included tools. The sturdy grip is constructed from 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum and is popular with law enforcement units from coast to coast as well as military units around the globe.
Another MSR laser sight and light upgrade option is the Crimson Trace Rail Master® Pro™ laser sight and light system. These red or green laser sights are paired with a 100-Lumen LED white light and offer several operation modes, including: laser only, light only, laser and constant light, or laser and strobe light.

An additional upgrade option is a Crimson Trace Rail Master® with a red laser (CMR-201), green laser (CMR-206), or a 100-Lumen LED white light (CMR-202). The Rail Master universal laser sighting system can be easily installed, has tap-on/tap-off activation, and will automatically power off after five minutes of inactivity. Manufacturer Suggested Retail Prices for the CMR-201 Rail Master begin at $159.
