Blue Force Gear’s Lightest Sling EVER

Friday, December 15th, 2017

Blue Force Gear has released a specialty sling for the holidays, the ULTRA-Lightweight Vickers One Sling. This new sling is a limited quantity release and is available until sold out. MSRP is $49.

The Vickers Ultra-Lightweight One Sling was originally spec-ed out by Blue Force Gear’s CEO as part of a project to build the lightest possible, but still fully battle-capable AR Carbine. Every component of the sling and rifle, featured in Vickers Guide AR15 Volume II, was selected to provide the best possible functionality in the lightest conceivable package.

Blue Force Gear started with their Vickers One webbing and hardware which is 20% lighter than their Standard Vickers Sling. Then they added a 1” ULoop sling attachment point is sewn to the front allowing the Sling to be silently attached to nearly any eyelet, cooling vent, modular rail, or sling loop without the need for additional mounting hardware.

To further reduce weight, the Sling uses a unique method of attachment to the buttstock where a simple, folded over tab is pushed through the Sling webbing slot on the buttstock locking it securely in place. A spare Tri-Glide buckle is included to allow for other attachment methods or to completely lock the tab in place.

So lighten your sleigh this Chrismas with Blue Force Gear’s lightest sing EVER. Purchase here.

Rosco Manufacturing Unveils New “Purebred” Precision Barrel Series

Tuesday, December 5th, 2017

December 4th, 2017: Rosco Manufacturing; a proud American manufacturer of high quality gun barrels is proud to announce the launch of their newest line of precision barrels titled The Purebred Series.

Rosco is a manufacturer that produces barrels for some of the biggest gun makers in the industry within their Central Falls, R.I. facility. Rosco has recently focused their talents and years of expertise to produce commercially available barrels that challenge what is currently found in the market.

Purebred Series:

Rosco Manufacturing’s “Purebred” series is a testament to precision and quality manufacturing. We took a step back to see how we could create a barrel line that would be a culmination of all the lessons learned through years of making barrels for our OEM’s. The result is a barrel that will produce 1 MOA results out of the box for any shooter looking to take their skills above and beyond.

Our Purebred barrels are made from scratch in our Rhode Island facility and start life as a blank piece of 416R stainless steel. The blanks are then rifled using our proprietary “Rifling & Polishing method” (which produces a lapped smooth surface finish) before they are mated to their polished Nickel Boron extensions.

Aside from making our own barrel blanks, and barrel extensions, we also hold ourselves to the most stringent quality and performance standards. This is the only way that we can make sure that we are producing a product that will perform time after time under the most demanding conditions. We are setting out to re-define the rules and we plan on letting our work do the talking. Preliminary barrels offered will be in .223 Wylde, & .300 BLK. Options to come soon are .224 Valkyrie, 6.5 Creedmoor, .260 Remington, 6mm Creedmoor, .243 Winchester, & .308 Winchester.

“With the success of our Bloodline barrels we felt that it was time to start raising the bar in other categories of the shooting world as well.”, “Our Purebred barrels will be an example of what can be accomplished when you take your time and manufacture a product using the right information coupled with keeping all aspects of production in house. We hope to put an end to the popular trend of farming out a product to then just slap a name on the side.” – Gabriel Cabrera Marketing & Sales Director for Rosco Manufacturing.

Warren Innovative Technologies – 3D Printed Suppressor Wrenches

Tuesday, December 5th, 2017

The Problem:

The Silencerco Octane/Omega 9K piston and fixed mounts are not compatible with conventional tools and cannot be adequately tightened or loosened by hand. This is also true about the Dead Air Wolf-9SD and Ghost suppressors. In the case of the 13.5mmX1LH fixed and piston mounts, the barrel thread is left-handed and the suppressor body attaches to the mount with a right-hand thread. Rocksett can be used to solve this, but that makes frequent changing of the different mounts a challenge.

I recommend against doing a 3-lug mount arrangement, as the mechanism takes up blast chamber volume, which makes the suppressor considerably louder than with a direct-thread mount, which is what I recommend for the MPX. However, people usually say they use a 3-lug to prevent loosening of the suppressor from the weapon, which can happen with a direct-thread mount if adequate torque is not applied.

I would only use the piston system for pistols and not use a piston with a fixed barrel spacer on an MPX, as this arrangement is also louder than a direct thread mount, but you have no choice but to use a piston mount on a pistol.

F8D06A5A-2EBD-455C-AFB0-95BB9B5F766A

The Solution:

I have 3D modeled and 3D printed a wrench that interfaces with the Octane/Omega 9K direct thread/piston mounts. Silencerco does not make a wrench for these. I also now have one for the Dead Air Wolf-9SD and Ghost suppressors. My wrench is a high-strength PLA polymer material that will break if way too much torque is applied, but if you torque it on with the wrench without a lot of Rocksett, it should torque back off without problems (a very small amount of Rocksett is fine). This wrench is critical for torqueing to the left onto the barrel and then for isolating the mount from the right-hand torque applied to install the suppressor body to the mount.

Easily transitioning between piston and fixed mounts is now possible for the Octane/Omega 9K.
