Dueck Defense Rapid Transition Sights Available In Three Flavors

Monday, February 16th, 2015

Designed by Barry Dueck and available through SureFire, the Rapid Transition Sights are now available in three different configurations.

Based in the M16A2 rear and front sight pair, the RTS mount to a Picatinny rail. They present at a 45 degree angle so that you can roll off of your telescopic optic to use the RTS as a backup sight or for close in targets.

In addition to the original model, there is a version with tritium inserts as well as a fiber optic insert. The tritium version incorporates a larger dot at the front sight and two smaller tritium dots on rear sight for easy alignment in low-light conditions. The fiber optic model includes front sight in red, green, or yellow.

Barrett M240LW

Monday, February 16th, 2015

We originally posted this story during AUSA 2014 regarding the Barrett M240LW. There’s been quite a bit of interest regarding this new variant of the medium machine gun workhorse. It’s lighter but that’s because they’ve approached the design from a completely new direction.

Although it’s not exactly new, the Barrett M240LW is a lightweight variant of the fantastic M240 medium machine gun. Sure, the Army has the M240L which cut some significant weight off of the American version of the FN MAG but it uses a Titanium receiver which translates into mucho dinero.

Barrett took a different approach. They trimmed the fat out of the weapon. You’ve got to remember, the MAG 58 is over 60 years old. By analyzing the gun’s construction and applying modern design and manufacturing techniques, they were able to trim about five-and-a-half pounds from its weight down to 21.15 pounds The design is also interesting in that the receiver is manufactured in two pieces from solid billet and then welded together. This results in 2 receiver components rather than the 64 found on a standard M240. You’ll also notice a new, Barrett-designed telescoping Buttstock with adjustable length of pull and hydraulic buffer. While there is no top barrel shroud the lower handguard features KeyMod slots.

The CP Six12 Video that Played During SHOT Show

Saturday, February 14th, 2015

If you visited the Crye Precision booth at SHOT Show you saw this video featuring the Six12 Rotary shotgun playing on the monitor. It gives a great overview of the different configurations and answers the question everyone keeps asking me, “Does it work?”

Admittedly, my favorite part is the theme music. Who doesn’t love Peer Gynt?
