Patriot Ordnance Factory announced a new variant of their Puritan rifle chambered for 7.62x39mm. Like all their rifles, the 7.62x39mm Puritan falls under the POF-USA 1MOA or better guarantee: POF claims they shot multiple sub-MOA groups with the rifle using Hornady 123gr SST ammo.
Stay tuned for more information on this rifle as it becomes available.
We haven’t mentioned the Field Density Altitude Compensator for quite some time but after catching up last week with Adaptive Consulting & Training Services last week, we figured it was a good time to reacquaint you.
Adaptive Consulting & Training Services was involved in the fielding of the ballistic computer for Marine Corps Snipers. It can be a fairly complicated piece of gear and get you way off base if you end up mashing a few wrong buttons so they set out to create a more simple, analog version. The result of their efforts was the Field Density Altitude Compensator which uses the G7 drag model. They originally developed an FDAC model in .308 utilizing yards for civilian shooters, but immediately set to work on a version that worked with meters.
FDAC is easy to use, has no batteries and inexpensive enough that a LCpl can afford one. Utilizing a library of muzzle velocity specific cards, FDAC supports M118LR, .300 win mag and .338 Lapua and gives a simple density altitude model. The shooter can guess at altitude and ambient air temperature in order to find a firing solution for targets from 100-1500m. It’s as simple as knowing the muzzle velocity of your round, picking the corresponding card and inserting it into the sleeve. The solutions provided included elevation, windage, moving target lead, firing angle and spin drift.
Adaptive Consulting & Training Services has also developed a compatibility matrix for 168 grain and other projectiles on their website that will help you determine which existing card to use.
The FDAC is available through ustacticalsupply.com/fielddensityaltitudecompensator.

Here are some shots I took last week of the Concealable Sniper Rifle from Remington Defense.
Utilizing a modified variant of the Remington Arms Chassis System, the CSR quickly comes apart to fold into a backpack. It is currently available in .308 and .300 Blackout and is currently in use with customers.
The collapsible stock can also be removed for more compact transport.
Below, you can see how the barrel fits into the receiver. The lever in his hand locks the front rail into place.
Interestingly, prototypes included this FAB Defense folding pistol grip but it is not included on production models.
Security Devices International (SDI), a defense technology company specializing in the development of innovative next generation, non-lethal 40-mm ammunition, today announced that the National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA) members assigned above average ratings and reviews to several of SDI’s Blunt Impact Projectiles (BIP).
The NTOA members tested and approved four of SDI’s BIPs, all of which received over a 4.0 overall rating. A rating over 4.0 means that the product exceeds advertised specifications on a regular basis and outperforms others in usefulness and quality of workmanship.
The SDI munitions that the NTOA members tested included:
• BIP MO Malodorant Payload
• BIP ML Marking Liquid Payload
• BIP TR Training Round
• Standard BIP
NTOA’s Member Tested and Recommended program allows manufactures to have their products tested in the field by the law enforcement community. Products are tested and scored in 13 possible categories on a scale of 0-5 that include: Design, performance, ease of use, size, quality, durability, storage, versatility, convenience, application for law enforcement, comfort, cleaning/ maintenance, and accuracy. Products receiving a rating of 3.0 or higher will receive NTOA Field Tester Recommended Status.
“Our top priority is to provide the law enforcement community with options in situations that do not warrant the use of lethal force. With police officers and other law enforcement professionals being heavily scrutinized after recent controversial events, we want to equip them with a truly less-lethal option. We are thrilled that an organization as prestigious as the NTOA recognized the quality of our products,” said Gregory Sullivan, CEO of SDI.
SDI’s BIP ammunition has been designed to supersede previous blunt impact solutions such as foam, sponge, and rubber bullets while maintaining in-flight stability throughout an almost flat trajectory. SDI’s family of BIPs are designed for military, peacekeeping, homeland security, law enforcement, correctional services and private sector security, and are ideal for crowd control scenarios and can adapt to any 40mm standard issue launcher.
The BCMGUNFIGHTER 1 Inch Light Mount is constructed from aluminum, and allows users to mount most popular 1-inch round body tactical lights to their KeyMod forends. Designed to mount at the 1:30 or 10:30 (upper 45°) positions, the mount is fully ambidextrous. It utilizes a patent pending anchoring system, and is intently designed to be low-profile and snag-free.

For the past week images have been swirling around the Internet hinting at a NRA Show by GLOCK of the fabled holy grail; a single stack 9mm. Collectively, we’ve been demanding such a beast for years, sure that it will be the ultimate concealed carry pistol.
Something big is definitely afoot at GLOCK. They’ve dropped a few subtle hints on their Facebook page and set up a countdown clock on their site. They’ve even invited members of the members to an exclusive look at something new, the night before the NRA annual meeting starts.
UPDATE: GLOCK posted this image to their Instagram account today.
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard this rumor so I’m not getting too excited. The real question is, if we get it, after all these years, what will we have to complain about?
The Picatinny (Mil Std 1913) attachment has been with us for some time. Over the past few years, it’s been joined by Key Mod and M-Lok. Now, LANTAC has thrown their hat into the ring with the license free Keyed Accessory Mounting (KAM) System taking us beyond any BetaMax/VHS analogies.
Thanks to their adapter plate system, LANTAC claims KAM will attach to round surfaces such as tubular handguards in addition to flat surfaces. What’s more, the mount itself is 100% integrated and only applies force to the mounting surface.
