In anticipation of the upcoming Vickers Guide: AR-15, the team behind the book has release an ‘ultra’ high-res teaser image of an earlier AR-10. The image is around 200 Megapixels, and shows off an amazing level of detail. Thankfully, we were provided with a much lower resolution image (seen above) to spare our bandwidth, so if you want to see the real deal image, check out the link below:
VLTOR has announced their new Vulcan product line, which is now available through the VLTOR online store. Named for the Roman god Vulcan, an unsightly yet extremely talented metalworker who provided his fellow gods with tools and weapons of peerless quality, the Vulcan line offers customers a chance to purchase cosmetically blemished yet fully functional VLTOR components at reduced prices. The Vulcan line will also host a number of limited edition products, which will be made available over time.
All Vulcan products are of limited availability, so when they’re gone, they’re gone.

Crye Precision founders Caleb Crye and Gregg Thompson have launched new brand Vantage Arms, LLC, to manufacture the Six12 Modular, Rotary Shotgun. They have located to the Nashville, Tennesee area where they will invest $5 million to move into a 22,000-square-foot facility at 1657 Murfreesboro Road.
Gregg Thompson told the Nashville Post, “We couldn’t be more excited to begin this new endeavor in Nashville, it’s absolutely critical to the success of the company that we have the right people at the helm and the right environment to grow. We’ve come to the clear conclusion that Tennessee, and Nashville specifically, offers a top-notch workforce and a climate that is unwavering in its support of innovation.”
The 12 guage Six12 uses a six round rotary magazines like a revolver but which can be removed for loading. The shotgun has been paired with the SilencerCo Salvo 12 shotgun suppressor as seen above. Originally envisioned as a breaching shotgun, the bullpup’s modular design allow it to be configured as a stand-alone weapon or attached to an M4 carbine.
Designed at Crye Precision’s home base at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the Six12 was unveiled several years ago. However, production at that location was problematic due to regulation. The move to Murfreesboro is a sound one where they plan to hire 100 employees. We wish them well in this new endeavor.
‘Threads’ will scare the bejeezus out of you. Aired on the BBC in 1984, it is far more bleak than America’s ‘The Day After’. We see none of the military perspective, but rather experience nuclear war through the eyes of its victims. I never saw it as a kid but have watched it several times as an adult as I am fascinated by all things Cold War.

TangoDown has developed a Slide Racker to accommodate larger frame 9mm and .40 double stack Glock models.
The GSR-03 provides small serrated wings at the slide’s end, to guarantee a positive cycling of ammunition into the weapon. Even if you’re down to one hand, cycling the slide against your belt, holster or heel is quick and positive. Those with small hands or struggling with arthritis, will benefit from this upgrade. The GSR-03 is big enough to offer advantage, yet small enough to be unnoticeable in concealed carry holsters.
