Magpul Enters Shooting Brace Market – Announces Two Models

Thursday, January 16th, 2020

In a surprise move, Magpul announces two shooting braces, the BSL and BTR.

In the case of both models, they are compatible with Mil-Spec carbine receiver extension equipped AR Pistols. They are not compatible with proprietary, pistol, or commercial receiver extensions. 

Don’t forget, all ATF, NFA, state and local rules and laws apply, where applicable, which brings us to another point.

No, there isn’t an ATF letter and there won’t be one. BATFE no longer issues letters for individual accessories, having changed their policy to only examine complete firearms to determine whether they meet current regulations. As with any firearm accessory, it’s up to the manufacturer and user to properly use the braces.

BSL

Features:
• Designed and intended for use as a stabilizing accessory for one-handed firing
• Toolless, single-handed LOP adjustment
• Ambidextrous rear QD cup allows sling tension to be applied while firing with one hand to improve stability
• Compatible with Mil-Spec carbine receiver extensions
• High-strength polymer and metal construction
• M-LOK compatible slots for additional sling mounting options

BTR

Features:
• Designed and intended for use as a stabilizing accessory for one-handed firing
• Toolless, single-handed LOP adjustment
• Ambidextrous rear QD cup allows sling tension to be applied while firing with one hand to improve stability
• Compatible with Mil-Spec carbine receiver extensions
• High-strength polymer and metal constructions
• M-LOK compatible slot for additional sling mounting options

Badger Ordnance Announces New Products for Their C1 Line

Wednesday, January 15th, 2020

 

North Kansas City, Missouri – Badger Ordnance is proud to announce new additions to their line of Condition One Modular Mounts. For 2020 Badger Ordnance has introduced to their C1 line, products that cater more to the long-range precision shooter. The C1 ARC (Accessory Ring Cap) is a modular replacement ring cap for any Condition One Modular Mount. It allows the user to mount a myriad of accessories fore or aft on their C1 Mounts, to include different variants of Laser Range Finder rails (12 slot tall or 8 slot short) or 12 o’clock mounted red dots. The C1 ARC allows the accessories to be connected or disconnected without removal of the ARC itself thus maintaining zero of your primary optic.

 

Also new from Badger Ordnance for their 2020 C1 lineup is the C1 ACI (Angle Cosine Indicator) and C1 ACD (Anti Cant Device). The C1 ACI allows for the attachment of the Sniper Tools Design ACI directly to the C1 line of mounts. The C1 ACI can be configured in 2 different ride heights on the mount, high or low. The C1 ACD is a leveling instrument designed for the C1 line of mounts to ensure that a weapon system is level before a shot is taken. The level itself can be user calibrated to ensure that it is properly aligned to the user’s scope/weapon system. The C1 ACD housing also allows the end user to attach a commonly procured tritium vial to the level for use during low/no light operation.

Both the C1 ACI and ACD can be mounted left/right, fore/aft on any C1 Modular Mount port in a standalone fashion via the provided standalone puck or in conjuction with and opposing the C1 Offset Micro Sight J-Arms.

All products of the C1 line and others will be on display next week at SHOT Show 2020 in the Badger Ordnance booth #20005

HIPERFIRE Announces The PHANTOM Trigger Family

Tuesday, January 7th, 2020

January 2020: HIPERFIRE’s customer base has clamored for a AR drop-in trigger that features the “feel” and hard-hitting hammers its triggers are known for. Most aftermarket drop-ins are notorious for LPS, light primer strikes. To get the pull weight down, designers have compromised their hammer fall. Not so with the new PHANTOM line of triggers. These drop-ins pull at around 2 lbs. and sport HIPERFIRE’s unique HIPERSHOE that now mounts onto a curved bow, not just straight. The hammer strikes surpass SAAMI’s copper crusher spec and hit harder than MIL-spec M4/16 hammers. Wow! The pull? It’s single stage. It’s short, sweet, and smooth as butter. That’s one reason we call it the PHANTOM, the “feel” is almost transparent to the shooter. To top it all off, no PCC blowback violence can touch it. The four PHANTOM versions feature a hammer collision bumper. Its disconnector and disconnector spring are impact and crush protected. Is it just for PCC? No way. It’s just an excellent trigger. Anyone can appreciate it shooting slow, fast, short-range, or for long-range precision, and on the move, it surpasses SAAMI’s rough handling specification. Be the first to shoot it at Industry Day at the Range, the day before Shot Show 2020 at HIPERFIRE’s full-auto lane. See it, feel it, at HIPERFIRE’s Shot Show 2020 booth #3016. For more information, visit www.hiperfire.com.
