Blue Force Gear Expands Lightweight Sling Lineup with SMG Slings

Sunday, January 15th, 2023

POOLER, GA—The growing popularity of pistol caliber carbines and lightweight AR-style rifles has resulted in rising demand for lighter, slimmer slings.  In response, BFG has added the Vickers SMG Sling, previously a limited-time offering, to its product line for 2023.  The Vickers SMG Sling includes the exclusive BFG reducing loop that makes it easy to convert from a two-point sling to a single-point sling. Its 1-inch webbing makes it perfect for shooters who desire the flexibility of a convertible sling but in a smaller package.

Blue Force Gear makes two other 1-inch slings: the 1-inch GMT Sling and the Vickers ONE™ Sling.

GMT Sling (1-inch version)

The 1-inch GMT Sling is perfect for shooters who prefer a tailed sling. It uses a custom double-locking buckle interface designed and manufactured specifically for this application from durable and rust-free glass-filled nylon. This adjuster provides consistent tension when both tightening and loosening the sling. Once set, it doesn’t move until you want it to.

Vickers One Sling

The Vickers One Sling is a slimmed-down version of the combat-proven Vickers Sling. The Vickers One Sling was designed for pistol caliber carbines and SMGs but has also gained a following with shooters who prefer a narrow sling on their AR-style rifles.  The Vickers One Sling is compatible with most 1-inch sling attachment hardware, including BFG’s own Push Button Swivels, sling hooks, and the patented ULoop.

The Vickers SMG Sling, GMT Sling, and Vickers One Sling all feature the Blue Force Gear exclusive 1-inch Zytel® nylon hardware and Invista™ solution-dyed Cordura® webbing, which is known for its long-term durability. As with all Blue Force Gear products, the Vickers SMG, Vickers One, and GMT Slings are made in the USA with US-made materials.

Arcane Concerted Opens Preorder for Second Round of LowPro Rail Attachments

Saturday, January 14th, 2023

IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich. – (January 13, 2023) Arcane Concerted is excited to announce the much anticipated second release of their LowPro Rail Attachments, now open for preorder.

The LowPro Rail Attachment is a simple, yet elegant, design made to bring multiple functions to market in one small package. On one side, you’ll find a traditional 4-position QD mount compatible with any reputable male QD sling attachment currently available. On the other side, it features an even more functional loop to be used in conjunction with Arcane’s flagship product ArcBands, a reusable retainer band primarily used for cable and sling management. Additional uses for the alternate side of the LowPro Rail attachment include securing sensitive items, as well as playing host to numerous other sling hooks and attachment methods.

“I wanted something with a small footprint that I could still use in conjunction with our ArcBands. I wanted the attachment to be functional and versatile, and the engineer team crushed our goal and even made it look nice. Several revisions and 3-D printed models later, here we are.” said Charlie, owner of Arcane Concerted.

Preorder begins January 13 at 4:00 p.m. CSTl. Orders will begin shipping roughly 6-8 weeks after preorders open.

The rail attachments are made using MIM grade 17-4PH stainless steel powder, high temperature sintering, and a heat treatment process resulting in a hardness of >HRC 34. The LowPro Rail Attachments are coated in QPQ (black) and PVD (FDE).

“We noticed a lot of people using zip ties to attach our ArcBands to their rail systems. This caused more wear on a product we developed specifically to take more of a beating and last long enough for our customers to get a lot of value from it. We wanted to make something that could clip on the rifle to prevent losing bands at the range or on duty; which unfortunately wasn’t very economical. We went back to the drawing board to bring something to the table that offered better value and cost to our end users. Now we have a product that can not only handle the initial intention, but offers multiple other functions for end users as well.”

The LowPro Rail Attachment is designed, manufactured, and coated in the USA and is available to purchase through the Arcane Concerted website. Retailers and distributors interested in carrying Arcane Concerted products can reach out to themanager@arcaneconcerted.com for more information.

Black Collar Arms Black Box

Thursday, January 12th, 2023

Leander, TX (01/12/2023) – Designed for any rifle that accepts short action AICS footprint magazines, the new Black Box magazine from Black Collar Arms delivers 15 rounds of 223/5.56 or 300 Blackout from a smaller external footprint than our competitors’ 10-round mags.

“Our lead engineer, Tom, really knocked this one out of the park and created a double-stack to single-feed internal geometry that has proven completely reliable since literally our first prototype,” said none of us in real life, but it’s true.

When hunting feral hogs, having fun stretching out the limits of subsonic 300 BLK on steel targets, or putting in practice time on a 223 trainer rifle, that 50 percent bump in capacity means more shooting between reloads.

For added purchase in the field, the Black Box’s flat panels are ready for skateboard style grip tape. Laser-cut grip tape inserts are available for the Black Box in two textures, sand and rubber pebble, and in a few different colors and patterns.

Spring geometry and manufacturing is currently being finalized with one of the top firearm magazine spring companies in the U.S., and Black Box shipping should be well underway by mid-April, 2023.

MSRP is $49.95. Pre-orders are currently being accepted, and pre-order customers will receive a 10 percent discount plus, of course, the first Black Boxes out the door.

Black Box Features and Specs:

• AICS short action footprint compatible

• 15-round capacity of…

223 Remington
5.56 NATO
300 Blackout
350 Legend
Other 223/5.56 parent case cartridges

• Recessed fields for optional grip tape available in multiple textures and colors/patterns

• MSRP: $49.95

Magpul Announces MS1 Lite Sling

Wednesday, January 11th, 2023

In an effort to offer a lighter and less bulky version of their popular sling, a Magpul designed new hardware and worked with their webbing supplier to create a 1″ wide option.

A compact 1″ sling that punches way above its weight class. The custom single-ply webbing is made to resist rolling and twisting, and the smaller profile reduces the chances of it catching snags in the field, in a case, or coming out of a safe. Perfect for lightweight or smaller firearms, it will accept additional adapters like our Paraclip, QDM, or QD Swing Swivel which makes it a fully customizable rifle-carrying system.  Like all Magpul gun slings, it has no-pill and anti-chafe properties that separate our slings from the rest of the crowd.

Offered in Black, Coyote, Ranger Green, and Stealth Gray.
