SIG SAUER – M18 M18 X-CONVERSION Kit

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2020

During the Modern Day Marine virtual expo, SIG gave us a sneak peek at their new M18 X-CONVERSION Kit.

The 9mm M17/18 Modular Handgun System manufactured by SIG SAUER is the most versatile pistol the US military has ever fielded. SIG got it right when the Army said they wanted a modular pistol.

The kit, which can be used at the unit level, includes a black SIG SAUER X-SERIES grip module with extended beavertail, deep trigger undercut, enhanced magwell that’s grip weight compatible, and a fastback style grip.  The kit also includes an X-SERIES flat trigger and two (2) 15-round magazines.

Both the Marines and Air Force are fielding the more compact M18 variant of MHS along with SOCOM, to replace their M9 sidearms.

MasterPiece Arms Introduces the MPA Grenade

Thursday, September 17th, 2020

When creating a MasterPiece, sometimes things can get a little messy. MPA Grenades are chassis that pass MPA’s inspection in every way except cosmetically.

Comer, Ga. (September 2020) – MasterPiece Arms (MPA), manufacturers of the MPA BA Rifles and Chassis Systems, is pleased to introduce the MasterPiece Arms Grenade. Sometimes when creating a MasterPiece, things can get a little messy. MPA strives for absolute perfection in every chassis but occasionally, one comes down the line that does not meet MPA’s strict quality control standards. Enter: the MPA Grenade.

MPA Grenades are chassis that pass MPA’s inspection in every way except cosmetically. Whether it be a small ding in the paint, a run-in with a laser that was having a slightly off day, or some other minor cosmetic blemish, these chassis will still function with the same flawless perfection you expect from MPA, but with their own special flair.

The blemishes will all be considered mild and, in most cases, are difficult to identify without very close inspection. The small grenades lasered on them will mark them as the unique MasterPieces that they are. The MPA Grenades launched Monday, Sept. 14, 2020, at 9 am. EST with an exclusive social media only flash sale and will continue each day until the first batch of Grenades has been sold.

MPA makes every effort to get the product to the customer as quickly as possible. These are hand-built precision instruments and not production components.

Black Collar Arms Forged Carbon Fiber Components

Thursday, September 10th, 2020

Austin, TX (09/07/2020) — Originally developed as a joint effort between Lamborghini and Callaway Golf Company, the forged carbon fiber process can produce complex shapes one-third the weight of titanium, yet stronger. Partnering with manufacturing company McVick, Black Collar Arms is excited to bring the world of forged carbon fiber components to a firearm near you.

Available first are Forged Carbon Fiber One-Piece Scope Mounts in 30mm and 34mm ring sizes. Despite weighing in at a scant 5.2 ounces, these forged carbon fiber scope mounts are as stiff and rigid as if they were machined from steel (three times stiffer than aluminum!) with just 1/6th the thermal expansion of aluminum.

These are the most rigid scope mounts on the market and maintain flawless zero in any condition. As if the gorgeous carbon fiber aesthetic wasn’t enough!

Forged Carbon Fiber One-Piece Scope Mounts are the first in an upcoming line of forged carbon fiber components currently being designed by Black Collar to be manufactured by McVick exclusively for Black Collar. Expect further optic mounting solutions plus other accessories and components, including AR-15 parts.

Quality is extremely high, but current production capacity is low. Mount availability will be rather limited with small batches arriving at Black Collar weekly while we gradually invest in increasing capacity.

Despite the limited and exclusive nature of the Forged Carbon Fiber One-Piece Scope Mounts and their physical advantages over aluminum mounts, not to mention their drop-dead gorgeous looks, MSRP is in-line with other premium scope mounts.

Anarchy Outdoors Introduces Performance Upgrades For The Thompson Center Compass and Venture Rifles

Saturday, August 29th, 2020

North Logan, UT- Anarchy Outdoors, a leading industry innovator and supplier of precision rifle components and other high-performance firearms accessories, has introduced two major upgrades for the Thompson Center Compass and Venture rifles, a Thread Bolt Handle and a Picatinny Scope Base with Bubble Level.   Both the Compass and Venture are great rifles, available at a reasonable price with solid features.  Like many factory rifles there is always an opportunity to make improvements in ergonomics and performance.  These two new products from Anarchy Outdoors will make these rifles easier to shoot and more accurate at long range.

Part of maximizing the accuracy and functionality of any rifle system is properly fitting it to the shooter.  The Threaded Bolt Handle is more ergonomic than the factory handle.  It is swept back further and places the bolt knob is a position that makes it easier and faster to work the action.  The end of the Threaded Bolt Handle also has 5/16”-24TPI threads.  This enables a significant degree of improvement with any of the Anarchy Outdoors aftermarket bolt knobs with the same threads.   Precision machined from 17-4 stainless steel and now available in a satin or black nitride finish, the Threaded Bolt Handle for the TC Compass and Venture has an MSRP of $59.99.  More Info:  Venture Bolt Handle   Compass Bolt Handle

The Anarchy Outdoors Picatinny scope base for the T/C Compass and Venture features an integral bubble level that is machined into the back of the rail.  This lets the shooter quickly and easily see if their rifle is level before taking a shot.  Preventing cant in the rifle is critical to precision shooting at long range.  The base also features a forward slope in either 20MOA or 30MOA.  This maximizes the amount of useable elevation adjustment in a riflescope.  These new scope bases are precision machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and hardcoat anodized matted black and include the mounting hardware.  Available in for both long and short actions, the new Picatinny Scope Base with Bubble Level has an MSRP of $89.99.

ADS Federal Range Day 20 – Otis Suppressor Cleaner and Reclaimer

Wednesday, August 26th, 2020

We gave you a sneak peek of the Otis Suppressor Cleaner and Reclaimer during SHOT Show. Since then, it’s gotten a new name and they’ve finalized the design as well as introduced a Six Unit System to complement the original, Single Unit System. As you can see, the Six Unit System is much larger, and is best floor mounted.

The OSCR-1 has a basket for individual components which the larger model does not. However, the OSCR-6 incorporates wheels and handles for movement.

Regardless of size, the OSCR removed more than 90% of carbon, copper, and lead fouling from the suppressor’s baffles in as little as two hours.
