The Texas origin story couldn’t be told without mentioning Davy Crockett and his Tennessee Volunteers at the Alamo so I couldn’t think of something more fitting at the NRAAM expo in Houston than this one-of-a-kind dipped magazine from Mission First Tactical.
This flipped image is from artist Robert Jenkins Onderdonk’s painting called “The Fall of the Alamo” or “Crockett’s Last Stand”.
Everyone who saw it wanted one but they made it just to show what they can do.
Gravel Agency represents a great portfolio of products for the Canadian armed professional. One item that caught my eye was this transport case by Raptor Products of Albuquerque.
Rifles mount in place via the magwell. This one is configured for 10 guns, but they have a wide variety of options available.
Developed for a military contract, I hadn’t seen the Grenade Launcher Holster kit from S&S Precision. The GLH Kit includes Holster, Pack, Pouched and Bandoleer.
The pack accommodates the M320 launcher as well as up to 18 40mm rounds. Due to its internal PALS webbing and quick draw handle opening, you can work from the bag, or pull everything out and quickly configure your kit when you’re ready.
Offered in Black, MultiCam, Tan and Toadvine.
S&S Precision products can be procured by agencies, departments, and units in Canada from Rampart International.
MATBOCK has finished the development of their Multi Weapon Aiming Device (MWAD), which was designed to shorten the kill chain for end users of indirect fire weapons, initially 40mm and 60mm platforms. Full system testing was completed on current operational weapon systems such as the M320, MK19, and M224 60mm mortar systems. MATBOCK is testing and evaluating recent updates to ballistics on 81mm and 120mm mortars in addition to other crew served weapons (CSW) which have been traditionally used solely as direct fire weapons systems. Through end user input and testing MATBOCK has learned there is a significant use case for CSW platforms for “plunging fire” applications on systems such as the M2 .50 Caliber Machine Gun.
Here is a brief Targeting Overview video:
The MWAD is a multi-platform capable ballistic computer that digitally displays range and azimuth for indirect fire weapon systems. The MWAD provides real-time ballistic solutions that account for environmental conditions, round type, platform, and lot deviations. This allows the user to put rounds on target with superior accuracy and faster than legacy aiming systems. Full integration into ATAK architecture allows direct input and receipt of call for fire missions, enhances situational awareness by broadcasting point of aim for entire teams, and enables accurate engagement and first round hits on moving targets. Software modifications can be made on request to include any direct fire weapons system.
Features:
• Simple manipulation with gloves and at night
• More rounds on target faster without the guesswork
• Integrates directly into ATAK
• Waterproof & shockproof
• ATAK device not included
• ATAK software provided via .apk file on delivery
How to use
• Mount the MWAD (In a garrison environment similar to zeroing a optic)
• Calibrate the system
• Select the weapon system on device; ie 320
• Select the ammunition being used; ie HEDP
• Raise the weapon system and engage targets.
• Target destroyed

Elite Tactical Systems calls this the world’s fastest magazine loader and once you see the video, you’ll agree, it’s fast…and easy to use.

To show you how far out of the loop I can get, I bring you the Wolf A1 Complete Upper Receiver which is an import of the Taiwanese T91 upper which fits to any standard AR lower.
Wolf Ammo told me this piston upper has been around since 2017. It uses a short stroke piston combined with a T91 handguard and charging handle.
Offered in 12.5″ and 14.5″ versions from various retailers.
May 20th, 2022: Rosco Manufacturing, an American manufacturer of high-quality gun barrels & accessories, is proud to announce the launch of their highly anticipated Sage Dynamics K9 12.5” barrel. Two years of R&D to produce the best 12.5” barrel on the market.
The K9 12.5 offers a proprietary patrol length gas system that is smoother than carbine length and more reliable than mid-length. Features an optimized gas port to run reliably suppressed and/or unsuppressed. The K9 continuous taper is the most effective profile to dissipate heat from hard use. With weight shifted to the back of the barrel, modern attachments on the front of the rifle create a perfectly balanced and better handling rifle.
Made in the USA, the Rosco way!
Effective immediately, the Sage Dynamics K9 barrel is live and for sale:
• 12.5” Sage Dynamics barrel MSRP: $170

May 23rd, 2022: Cobalt Kinetics, a manufacturer of exquisitely designed (and expertly built) American Masterpiece firearms and accessories; is proud to announce that they will be exhibiting at the 2022 NRAAM show (May 27th-29th) in Houston, TX at the George R. Brown convention center. Booth #347 will be the main destination for show attendees that want to come by and see Cobalt’s new Pro series platforms, SPR series platforms, and line of accessories (including the RCB-KM & soon to be launched VLTOR/ Cobalt A5-CK buffer system).
The Cobalt Kinetics staff will be on site to answer any (and all) questions that folks may have about the tech behind the Pro/ SPR series of rifles, as well as the newly launched series of accessories. Show goers will also be able to purchase Cobalt product/s whilst at the show! Cobalt has teamed up with one of their dealers (Firearms Depot) to give consumers the opportunity to shop for their favorite Cobalt platforms (and parts) without having to worry about traveling back with them. The Firearms Depot will be on site Friday May 27th & Saturday May 28th at the Cobalt booth for customers that would love to make those on-site purchases and save big too. Make sure to stop by to check out the new Cobalt and stay for the show deals!
“This year has been a strong year for us at Cobalt and has shown consumers that we have stayed true to our original promise when the brand reformed in late 2020. That promise was to continue to push ourselves until we could deliver a product that we would feel is worthy of both admiration & abuse. Although the combination sounds like a paradox, these are the two core emotions of any discerning shooter that only expects the best out of a product that is purchased for the explicit reason of being driven to its limits. We would love show goers to pass by our booth and give us the opportunity to show them the result of countless months of sacrifice and R&D.” -Gabriel Cabrera (Chief Revenue Officer)
