Magpul Updates UBR 2.0 Collapsible Stock for SHOT Show 2016

Tuesday, January 12th, 2016

Leveraging nearly a decade of design and engineering advancement, the venerable UBR stock is redesigned for 2016. Maintaining the unique mix of adjustability, strength, and consistent cheek weld, the UBR 2.0 features A5/SR-25 buffer systems compatibility, rotation-limited QD sling mounts, an ASAP QD style receiver end plate, and an improved rubber butt pad profile, while providing significant weight and cost reduction over the original UBR.

The UBR 2.0 is an adjustable stock for the AR15/M4, designed to offer the same strength and stability as a fixed stock with a consistent and comfortable cheek weld in any position.

An update of the revolutionary Utility/Battle Rifle (UBR) stock, the UBR 2.0 features a fixed cheek piece to provide a consistent cheek weld in any of its 8 positions, and is compatible with Carbine as well as A5-length buffer systems. Designed to accommodate large bore AR calibers and withstand severe impacts, the UBR 2.0 comes standard with front and rear QD sling attachment points, two footman’s loops, the ergonomic MOE SL™ angled-toe rubber butt-pad, and customizable storage compartment.

FEATURES
·Mounts on a durable custom Receiver Extension tube (included) to accommodate the common M4 carbine buffer and spring as well as aftermarket A5 buffer systems
·Solid “fixed stock” lockup and consistent cheek weld in all positions
·8-Position LOP adjustability
·Adjustment lever requires only gross motor movement to operate yet the entire stock remains streamlined and anti-snag
·Enhanced lock mechanism with dual locking pawls for maximum drop strength and shock resistance
·Multi-shell construction provides solid foundation and shields critical operating parts from penetration damage
·Sloping cheek weld combines a slim profile with user comfort
·Storage Compartment in tail of stock is removable and the door is reversible for user preference
·Rubber butt-pad offers an anti-slip surface and increases impact protection
·Rollover on the toe allows for easier shoulder transitions and better fit when using body armor

Sling Mounts
·Front – ASAP QD type swivel mount for ambidextrous one-point QD sling mounting
·Left/Right Rear – Anti-rotation QD swivel sling mounts fit up to 1.5″ push-button swivels
·Bottom – 1.25″ sling loop (additonal loop accessible when Storage Compartment is removed)

Sneak Peek – Badger Ordnance M134 Compact Precision Rifle

Tuesday, January 12th, 2016

When Badger Ordnance told us about their new rifle, we knew we had to share the news with you.

Much like its design, the M134 Compact Precision Rifle started life rather unconventionally. Just prior to SHOT Show 2013 we decided to cut down a Manner’s Composite Stock and a spare barrel to make a “mini rifle” for the purpose of displaying our products on a firearm without taking up the table space a full length rifle requires. We didn’t anticipate the interest that the little gun itself immediately received; it seemed like everyone wanted to buy one just like it. We continued to bring it to trade shows for several years and each time it garnished the same response.

As time went by and initiatives shifted with some of our other customer base, the request for a compact precision rifle continued to grow. As we considered how to approach the concept from the ground up, we quickly realized that the foundation of what we already had in a fiberglass stock fit the requirement, minus the extremely short length of pull. We set to designing an aluminum and steel retractable stock system that was compact, easy to manipulate, and offered an ideal combination of strength and weight savings. We mated this with a custom carbon fiber stock built exclusively for Badger Ordnance by Manners Composite Stocks, achieving an overall reduced length while still maintaining a standard length of pull and night vision/thermal integration capability. The heart of the rifle is built around our rugged M2013 action, fitted to a 14.25” barrel and pinned/welded muzzle device to meet the NFA required 16” overall barrel length. It features a detachable magazine system with our new Low Profile Mag Release and will accommodate the time-proven 10 rnd Accuracy International AW magazines.

The M134 Compact Precision Rifle will be available as a standard offering from Badger Ordnance beginning early in the second quarter of 2016.

Federal Premium Introducing New Products During The SHOT Show In Las Vegas, Jan. 19-22

Tuesday, January 12th, 2016

ANOKA, Minnesota – January 11, 2016 – Federal Premium Ammunition is pleased to introduce several new products at the 2016 SHOT Show. American Eagle Syntech range ammunition is one of the most exciting introductions, promising to redefine the target-shooting experience. Also debuting are HST Personal Defense and 3rd Degree turkey load line extensions, Federal Power-Shok Copper rifle ammunition and much more. Attendees are encouraged to visit booth 14551 during the show in Las Vegas, Jan. 19-22 to see the entire new product lineup.

The all-new polymer-encapsulated Total Synthetic Jacket (TSJ) bullet in American Eagle Syntech prevents contact between the bullet and bore, which can shorten barrel life and rob accuracy, while eliminating copper and lead fouling. Combined with specialized clean-burning propellant, Syntech keeps a gun cleaner, longer, so you can shoot more—and shoot better. The exclusive Catalyst lead-free primer provides the most reliable, consistent ignition possible. American Eagle Syntech is available in 9mm Luger 115 grain, 40 S&W 165 grain and 45 Auto 230 grain.

The Federal Premium Personal Defense Micro HST product line, introduced in 2015 with 380 Auto Micro HST, provides consistent expansion, optimum penetration and superior terminal performance, with bullet weights and propellants optimized for the most efficient cycling and accuracy in subcompact handguns. For 2016, the line has expanded to include a 150-grain 9mm Luger load.

Federal Premium was the first manufacturer to combine personal defense ammunition and ballistically matched training loads in one convenient, affordable package with Practice & Defend Combo Packs. New for 2016, the company combines its top-of-the line HST loads with American Eagle training rounds in 380 Auto 99-grain HST/95-grain FMJ, 9mm Luger 124 grain HST/FMJ, 40 S&W 180 grain HST/FMJ and 45 Auto 230 grain HST/FMJ.

In 2015, Federal Premium redefined how turkey shotshells are supposed to perform with the introduction of 3rd Degree. It uses a multi-shot, three-stage payload to deliver larger, more forgiving patterns at close range, while still providing deadly performance at long distance. In 2016, the company is releasing 3rd Degree in a 20-gauge, 1 7/16-ounce option.

New Federal Power-Shok Copper uses a copper-alloy bullet to provide the same consistency as the brand’s traditional lead-core bullet at an affordable price. The loads feature an accurate hollow-point bullet that creates large wound channels, as well as Federal brass and primers. Look for Power-Shok Copper in 243 Win. 90-grain, 270 Win. 130-grain, 308 Win. 150-grain and 30-06 Spring. 150-grain.

These products and many more can be viewed at SHOT, with photos and product details added to company’s web site after the tradeshow.

Federal Premium is a brand of Vista Outdoor Inc., an outdoor sports and recreation company. For more information on Federal Premium, go to www.federalpremium.com.

Radical Firearms Chosen to Build US Marshals Service 225th Anniversary Rifle

Tuesday, January 12th, 2016

Stafford, TX, USA — January 10, 2016

Radical Firearms is proud to announce it will be building the 225TH Anniversary Commemorative Edition Rifle for the United States Marshals Service. The new rifle will be built in limited numbers and will be available to serving or retired United States Marshals and Deputy Marshals only.

If you are in Las Vegas for the 2016 NSSF SHOT Show, come find us at Media Day at the Range or join us at Booth #20130 in the law enforcement section. If you’re available Tuesday representatives of the US Marshals Association (USMSA) will be on hand.

The United States Marshals Service is the oldest serving law enforcement in the country. It was established in September of 1789 by President George Washington. He commissioned the first 13 Marshals on September 26TH, choosing the first 13 Marshals. Many of them he knew personally. The Marshals and Deputy Marshals of today proudly carry on their legacy of service.

This honor comes at one of our busiest times yet. Demand has surged (likely due to recent POTUS/Administration posturing) to an all time high. Last week we received over 10,000 orders. This has necessitated a change to our operations. All lower receivers and stripped upper receivers have been removed as individual purchase items and have been dedicated to the production of full rifle and pistol builds. All orders will be shipped in the order received. On-site visits and local retail sales will temporarily be restricted to appointment only. We love welcoming visitors but things are currently at an incredibly hectic pace. We have added phone lines to increase our ability to respond more quickly and are working to answer e-mails more expeditiously as well. Unfortunately (or, fortunately, depending on your perspective!) we receive 1,000 or more e-mails every day. Production has been increased to 24/7 and staff adjusted to accommodate that.

2016 promises to be one hell of a year.
