Tyrant Designs – HALO Series MiniVert Grip

Wednesday, April 12th, 2017

Tyrant Designs CNC, an industry leader in high-end aftermarket AR grips has just announced their release of the new HALO Series MiniVert, a vertical forward grip. With dimensions slightly smaller than the average AR-15 vert grip, the MiniVert sports an aggressive looking knurl and well thought out ergonomics. Coupled with the ability to fit directly to MLOK and Keymod rail systems this little grip packs a big punch. With an overall length just shy of 3 inches, Tyrant instead utilized an elongated lip at the bottom allowing the operator the option of either tucking their pinky behind or resting the finger the traditional way.

“With all of the positive feedback we have received from reviewers, dealers and social media, we are extremely excited to announce the official release of our HALO Series MiniVert! This concept took months of designing and field testing to make it as comfortable as possible while maintaining our well known aggressive styling. It truly is a vertical grip that can be used in all situations on various platforms to heighten the performance of the operator. We are pleased with how it came out and look forward to seeing it on AR’s everywhere.”

Quantico Tactical Thursday – The THenar by High Ready Tool

Thursday, April 6th, 2017

When most shooters grip the front of their rifles for CQB shooting, they “C-Clamp” their thumbs over top of their rails. This method allows the shooter to grip the rail by applying pressure with the palm and four fingers of their hand and adds pressure to the top of the rail with the muscles in the thumb.

Developed by a prior senior firearms instructor at a special operations unit, the Patent Pending THenar ® allows the shooter to improve their grip of the front of their weapon, while simultaneously indexing at a fixed point and bringing their long gun to bear with far more control than possible before.

The Thenar ® provides a hard-point located on the side of the rail which the shooter wraps their thumb over at the web. By gripping with the thumb over this nub, the user uses their Thenar Eminence, the strong muscle group in the palm at the base of the thumb. This design also allows the shooter to bring their support hand into position on the weapon in a completely repeatable position and dramatically increases grip on the weapon and control of the forend under recoil. While usable with vertical foregrips or a bare rail, the THenar® is optimized for use with the Magpul AFG. The THenar ® has been called “The missing half of the AFG”.
The exposed end of each version of the THenar ® is a QD sling swivel point, removing the sling attachment point from interference with the shooters grip on the weapon under stress. The ambidextrous Thenar® is available in Picatinny, Key-Mod, and M-Lok and is proudly made of aircraft grade aluminum just outside of MCB Quantico VA.

The THenar ® is available from Quantico Tactical in any of their six retail stores, via their website or for unit or agency purchase, via their GSA schedule or the Defense Logistics Agency TLS-SOE contract.

Magpul Developed a 60-Round Quad Magazine

Thursday, April 6th, 2017


Quad Mag Prototype, 60-Round Capacity 2009

Shortly after the introduction of the original PMAG, Magpul began working on increased capacity solutions. The “Quad” or “Coffin” mag concept never delivered the reliability in rough handling and adverse conditions that they require from their magazine products, and so the design never made it into production. Lessons learned during this program eventually fed into the D-60 program.

USSOCOM Selects M-Lok For Weapon Programs

Friday, March 31st, 2017

IMG_0651

While we’ve heard rumors of a USSOCOM directed study by NSWC-Crane of weapon accessory attachment systems, we only recently came into possession of evidence of that study, conducted in 2016. We present to you the summary of the report, as it offers the most pertinent facts. However, we are not offering up the rest of the report, as it contains proprietary information regarding the Magpul M-Lok attachment as well as other, competing systems.

The summary states:

SUMMARY

Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC Crane) conducted testing for the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) to evaluate modular rail systems and provide a recommendation based on the performance characteristics of each system. Modular rail systems were evaluated for repeatability, endurance, rough handling, drop testing, and static failure load. Where possible, handguards manufactured in different modular rail systems, but otherwise identical, were used as a basis for a comparative analysis. All tested modular rail systems showed to be adequate for securing accessories during cyclic loading through endurance and rough handling testing. However, distinct performance differences were observed from repeatability, drop test, and failure load analysis. Overall, test and evaluation demonstrated that the M-LOKTM modular rail system surpassed the performance results achieved by other modular rail systems. In repeatability testing, M-LOKTM allowed for the repeated installation of the same accessory rail in the same location on a handguard with an average point of aim (POA) shift of 1.3 MOA, as low as one quarter the average POA shift observed by other modular rail systems. Drop test results demonstrated that M-LOKTM systems maintain securement of accessories to the handguard and sustain less damage from impact forces than some other modular rail systems. Failure load testing demonstrated that M-LOKTM systems support the highest load of all modular rail systems tested. In fact, the test equipment used to interface with 1913 accessory rails secured with the respective modular rail system across testing repeatedly failed prior to failure of the M-LOKTM attachment system. Even so, testing of the M-LOKTM systems failed at loads as high as over three times the maximum failure load of some other modular rail systems. NSWC Crane recommended to USSOCOM that the M-LOKTM modular rail system be utilized over the alternative systems tested. USSOCOM has chosen to incorporate the M-LOKTM modular rail system in acquisition efforts including the Suppressed Upper Receiver Group (SURG) and Advanced Sniper Rifle (ASR).

Of additional note, the US Army directed H&K to integrate an M-LOK rail (designed by Geissele) on the new Compact Semi-Automatic Sniper System rifle which is an indication of wider Dod adoption of M-Lok.
