Blue Force Gear – Standard AK Sling

Monday, August 1st, 2016

If you’re looking for an AK Sling, we can’t think of a better option than Blue Force Gear’s Standard AK Sling which includes a Molded Universal Wire Loop threaded onto the front of the sling. The UWL’s nylon coated aircraft grade stainless steel cable allows it to attach to the elongated eyelet on the handguard retainer or gas block quietly and securely.

Fits AK-47, AK-74, or other AKM style rifles with front sling loops. The sling can be instantly lengthened and shortened with no sling tail to get caught or parts to break, allowing for close, secure weapon retention that can be carried all day, but instantly lengthened to be shouldered and fired without removing the weapon or untangling the sling.

As a tribute to the famed Russian “plum” furniture and magazines of the late 1980s, the plum hardware on OD Green and Coyote Brown slings are limited editions. There is also a Black model with standard hardware.

Colt Unveils A New Expanse M4 – The CE2000

Monday, August 1st, 2016

For those of you not in the know, the Colt Expanse for Colt is essentially what the M&P-15 Sport is for Smith & Wesson; a reasonably-priced, baseline AR which functions as a good starting rifle, or a decent backup gun. The comparison is even more accurate, given the press release below announces that a new model of the Expanse, the CE2000, is now available with a dust cover and forward assist, just like the Sport II added a dust cover and forward assist over the original Sport. As they say, those who don’t learn from history…

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. (July 29, 2016) – Colt, designer and manufacturer of the M4 carbine and M16 rifle, is excited to announce a new chapter in the evolution of it’s popular Expanse™ M4 carbine line with the release of the new upgraded model CE2000.

Expanse CE2000 RH

“This was a natural move for us,” said Justin Baldini, Product Director for Colt. “We simply listened to what our customers and our Colt Stocking Dealers were telling us, and the story was simple. Folks want the added features of a real Colt dust cover and forward assist, and they want it to come that way from the factory.”

And Colt did just that. Building on what made the original Expanse™ M4 model CE1000 special – the same Colt forgings, bolt, and other parts used on the rest of the Colt M4 line – the new Colt Expanse™ M4 model CE2000 is upgraded to include a Colt dust cover and forward assist.

“We couldn’t be happier to deliver to our customers exactly what they want,” said Paul Spitale, Senior VP at Colt. “It’s a proud moment to be able to build on the success we’ve had with the Expanse™ M4 in a way that provides an even better ownership experience to the discerning firearms enthusiast.”

LaserMax – Manta-Ray Weapon Light

Sunday, July 31st, 2016

The Manta-Ray is a collaboration between Manta Defense and LaserMax. It is a low-profile, Picatinny compatible, Weapon Light which emits 140 lumens of Mint Green LED light. Thanks to the Manta attachment, it easily snaps on and off the firearm rail without need for tools, levers or clamps. That means it can also be used as a handheld light.

It incorporates an internal rechargeable battery with a 1-hour constant runtime but there is a dimmer function as well as constant versus momentary activation and programmable lockout. It is also compatible with LaserMax’s optional Remote Activation Switch (LMS-RAS).
