I hear SIG SAUER received some very good news today, so congratulations are in order for the performance of their .300 blk MCX ‘Black Mamba’.
Sounds like all that hard work paid off. Feels good to be recognized as #1, doesn’t it? I see a big future for that gun and this is the first win of many.
Remember Johhny Dronehunter who took out a miniature-UAV with a Salvo-12 equipped shotgun? Now, SilencerCo gives us his origin story.
Armageddon Gear honcho Tom Fuller goes over their suppressor cover. Designed to reduce and delay the vision obscuring mirage caused by a hot suppressor, the cover also provides visual camoflauge for the suppressor itself via a variety of optional patterns.
BCM has expanded the color options for the BcMGUNFIGHTER line of AR-15 accessories. The BCMGUNFIGHTER Stock, Gunfighter Pistol Grip, Vertical Grips, KAG, and Enhanced Trigger Guards are now available in Black, FDE, Foliage Green, and Urban wolf. Additionally, these color options will extend to BCM’s new KeyMod Rail Covers.
Last week, I got a peek at SureFire’s new Closed Tine Flash Hider.
Manufactured at the request of a military customer, the Flash Hider part SFCT-556-1/2X28, works with the SOCOM556 series of suppressors. The “SFCT” in the part number denotes SureFire Closed Tine, the 556 is the caliber and the 1/2×28 is for Mil-Spec 1/2-28 muzzle thread. If it looks somewhat familiar to you, that’s becuase it is. This is an updated version of the same flash hider they have had for years for the legacy suppressor line, part number FH556-212A (NSN: 1005-01-554-3051).
Many will find two advantages to a Closed Tine design. First, the Flash Hider is much less likely to catch on foliage and second, you lose the distinctive “ting” sound produced while firing an open tine muzzle device.
Above, you can see the suppressor alignment lug at the 6 O’clock position. Additionally, the bottom of the flash hider is closed (like an A2 flash hider) which reduces dust signature when firing.

Today, Unity Tactical announced the production of the ‘Monkey Bar’ replacement clamp for the Magpul MBUS Pro line of iron sights. This clamp is not only lightweight, but is also compatible with Unity Tactical’s FUSION mounting interface. The full release can be read below:
Unity Tactical is proud to announce the “Monkey Bar”. A replacement clamp for the excellent Magpul™ MBUS™ PRO line of Backup Iron Sights.
The Monkey Bar replaces the OEM clamp to provide the user with a solid and lightweight FUSION compatible mounting interface. The FUSION interface allows you to directly mount Surefire™ Scout Lights as well as 1913 rail sections (Using the Offset Rail), 1” or Executive Series Ring Lights (Using the FUSION Ring Mounts) or Surefire ™ Millennium Series Lights (Using the Millennium Series Adapter).
The Monkey Bar is precision machined out of 6061-T6 aluminum and Type 3 Hardcoat anodized for durability.
It adds 0.2 Ounces of weight over the MBUS™ Pro alone, so it’s one of the lightest weight mounts on the market.
It is currently in production and will be available at the end of April.
