Unity Tactical Launches FAST PRO Mount

Monday, December 9th, 2024

Built-in BUIS Increases Functionality in its Small Footprint
BROUSSARD, LA. (Dec. 9, 2024) – UNITY™ Tactical, a designer of components that integrate tactical systems and optimize the human factor, announced the launch of the FAST™ PRO™ Mount today. The FAST PRO Mount positions the Aimpoint® Patrol Rifle Optic (PRO) Red Dot Reflex Sight and other optics with a 30mm tube diameter at a 2.26″ optical centerline from the rail to enable a heads-up posture.

It features a built-in, fully adjustable rear back-up iron sight that is compatible with a standard front sight for a traditional sight radius. Very compact, the FAST PRO Mount covers only three slots on an M1913 Rail.

“The FAST PRO Mount is an efficient tool serving two key purposes in a very small footprint,” said Mike Roth, VP of business development for UNITY Tactical. “With each addition to the nearly 20 mounting solutions in the FAST line, we aim to bring purposeful designs that expand capabilities of the integrated device and as a result, also for the end user.”

It includes a lifetime warranty and retails for $232. It is available for purchase now through authorized UNITY dealers and on unitytactical.com. FAST PRO Mount can also be purchased in a bundle with the Aimpoint PRO for $585 from Aimpoint.us, yielding a savings of $112 off the combined MSRP of both products.

“It is always a pleasure to work alongside another manufacturer to create thoughtful products that fill gaps and pass savings onto shared customers,” Roth continued.

FAST PRO Mount comes standard with a 2 cross bolt rail clamp and is available in black.

Chocolate Chip Camo VCAS Slings

Friday, November 29th, 2024

A few months ago, Blue Force Gear did a limited-edition run of their Vickers Sling in the iconic Chocolate Chip camouflage pattern. It was so popular that they’ve decided to bring it back.

The “chocolate chip” camouflage pattern, officially known as the “Six-Color Desert pattern” or “Desert Battle Dress Uniform (DBDU) pattern,” was developed by the United States military in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It was designed specifically for desert environments.

As with any limited-edition item that Blue Force Gear launches, they will only be available while supplies last, so you need to act fast!

ISTEC Delivers First Batch of Weapon Integration Mounts for the New USAF Grey Wolf Helicopter

Tuesday, November 19th, 2024

ISTEC Services Limited, the British company with 35 years of operationally proven experience in the design, manufacture and supply of complex weapon integration solutions for military platforms, is delivering the first production shipsets (a shipset is a left and right gun mount pair) for the new United States Air Force (USAF) Grey Wolf Helicopter. The USAF Grey Wolf helicopter is a Boeing led programme for the replacement of the famous, but aging, UH-1N Huey helicopter and is built on a Leonardo MH-139A platform. ISTEC has recently delivered the first shipsets to Leonardo and the USAF took delivery of the first low-rate production Grey Wolf helicopter in August 2024.

The Grey Wolf offers significant improvements in terms of speed, range, and payload capacity compared to the Huey. It also features modern avionics, defensive systems, and a more robust airframe, making it suitable for a wide range of missions. The ISTEC weapons mount contract was originally awarded in 2018 and following prototype design and customer testing, to ensure the maximum arcs, ease of use and air safety compliance, final design approval was granted in 2020. Full production started in 2023, and following the delivery of the first shipsets, the remainder of the contract will be aligned with the wider programme delivery schedule.

ISTEC has extensive experience in providing weapons integration solutions for the Land, Sea and Air domains. However, there were many additional elements to the Grey Wolf project such as an external mounting frame that required significant additional design input from the ISTEC team. All the Grey Wolf components are manufactured with a ‘cradle to grave’ traceability process to ensure all raw materials sourced are to aerospace release, with full audit back to the mill, regular composition testing to ensure material alloying elements are above specification and thereby ensuring that the gun mounts meet the rigorous manufacturing standards required to be classed as airworthy and type certified.

Mick Coulson, Manager Director at ISTEC said, “This has been a significant project for ISTEC, supporting a major helicopter replacement programme for the USAF, that we have been privileged to have been involved with from the very start. ISTEC is well known for our universal gun mount systems, especially on vehicles and ships, but I am extremely proud of the design and engineering expertise that has gone into producing this aviation specific system for the Grey Wolf, clearly demonstrating the universal benefits of using our weapon integration systems across all domains.”

UNITY Tactical Launches FAST Accessory Riser

Thursday, November 14th, 2024

Multiuse Tool Raises Lasers, Optics and Thermals

BROUSSARD, LA. (Nov. 14, 2024) – UNITY™ Tactical, a designer of components that integrate tactical systems and optimize the human factor, announced the launch of the FAST™ Accessory Riser today. The third riser in the FAST line, it is a versatile tool that raises a variety of lasers, opticsand thermals to enable a heads-up posture.

Featuring a machined slot for cable routing, it is primarily designed to raise a rail-mounted laser by 0.725″.

Covering only three slots on an M1913 Rail, it creates a 2.26″ optical centerline from the rail when paired with the Sig Sauer® ROMEO8T or the Leupold™ LCO®. It also brings the Trijicon® SkeetIR™x or the Pixels on Target™ VooDoo-S™ to a 2.26″ optical centerline when those thermal optics are mounted on a UNITY™ CTM™.

“The FAST Accessory Riser is a compact, multi-use mounting solution, and the first mount in the FAST line designed to raise many different optical and laser device solutions,” said Mike Roth, VP of business development for UNITY Tactical. “As we continue to build the FAST ecosystem, it is critical that we take a systems approach to enhance the capabilities of these technical devices supporting multiple platforms and shooting preferences.”

FAST Accessory Riser comes standard with a 2 cross bolt rail clamp and is available in black or FDE. It includes a lifetime warranty and retails for $99. It is available for purchase now through authorized UNITY dealers and on UNITYtactical.com.

Kratos Design Group Expands “Hera” Bag Rider Product Line to include SOPMOD Stocks

Friday, November 1st, 2024

Building on the existing options for Magpul SL & SL-S stocks, Kratos Design Group announces a new addition to fit SOPMOD & Enhanced SOPMOD stocks.

The Hera Bag Riders provide more surface area to contact your rear support bag giving you some benefits of a precision stock while maintaining the small profile and features of an assaulter-style stock. Designed to fit perfectly with the contours of the stock, it seamlessly integrates as part of the stock.

A defining feature of the Hera bag rider is the ability to store a ¼” bit and a Multitasker Nano optic adjustment tool giving the user a method to have tools with your rifle at all times (sold separately).

The Hera features a very aggressive texture on the bottom to ensure positive contact with the rear bag and prevent slippage.

The design incorporates multiple tabs and an alloy steel bolt to securely hold the bag rider in place. One of the tabs integrates with the bottom sling mount and prevents the bag rider from moving up and down along the stock.

Weighing just 0.9 oz the Hera adds over 2 inches of surface area to the bottom of your stock.

The Hera bag Rider for Sopmod stocks are available in Black. FDE & ODG will be released shortly after.

Plans to further expand the Hera line include bag riders for Magpul CTR & B5 Bravo stocks and will be released later in 2024.

Backed by a lifetime warranty and Made in T exas, the Hera Bag Rider is designed to last for years of service and provide you with a stable foundation for shooting with magnified optics.

The Kratos Design Group Hera & Hera Lite bag riders are available directly from Kratos or at any of their dealers.
