Blitzkrieg Components – Chevron Front Sight Post

Tuesday, October 14th, 2014

Chevron front sight post

Blitzkreig Components has released a replacement Chevron front post for AR-15 iron sights. Precision machined from 416 stainless steel, Blitzkrieg claims the chevron tip gives the shooter a sharp aiming point for precise aiming, while the bold shape is easy to see and pick up without obscuring the target. Seen above is the luminescent green stripe model, which provides an improved sight picture in low light environments. Only the side towards the shooter is painted, so there is no glow towards the enemy.

Chevron sights

It’s worth noting that the Chevron post has been tested to fit most AR-15 front sight housings that use a standard threaded post, including those by Troy, Daniel Defense, Diamond Head, PRI, GG&G, and Magpul. It will not work with the MBUS Pro front sight, or LWRC Skirmish sights.

The Chevron front post is also available in all black and white stripe. Comes with a front sight tool.

FN HERSTAL Adopts A Multi-caliber And Multi-weapon Product Approach For Its Airborne Pintle Mounted Weapon Systems

Monday, October 13th, 2014

FN Herstal has just announced an expansion of the weapon systems that are compatible with their airborne pintles connection system. The full release can be read below:

(McLean, VA – October 13, 2014) FN Herstal, a world leader of small caliber weapon systems, teams with Dillon Aero to add to its portfolio of FN MAG® 58M and FN M3M™ (GAU-21) machine guns, the Dillon Aero M134D Gatling Gun as an additional option to its airborne pintle mounted systems. FN Herstal airborne pintles are now capable of connecting either to the FN MAG® 58M, the FN M3M™ or the M134D, with all three variants being qualified by FN Herstal. Each armament conversion kit fulfills a segment: the FN MAG® 58M is a 7.62mm cal machine gun with maximum rate of fire of 1,000 RPM; the M134D, also known as the “Minigun” is a 6 barrel Gatling Gun with rate of fire of 3,000 while the FN M3M™ (GAU-21) is a .50 cal firing at 1,100 RPM.

The armament swap on FN Herstal’s systems connections will only take minutes. Swapping from the FN MAG® 58M to the M134D or to the FN M3M™ (GAU-21) on FN Medium Pintle Systems adds flexibility to the end users. Providing end users with the ability to configure the weapon systems with the armament of the customer’s choice greatly improves the helicopter’s modularity and adaptability to specific missions and threats. By offering three variants and turning its airborne pintle mounted systems into modular systems, FN Herstal covers all calibers and segments that are of interest to its customers, and opens a growth path for future weapons solutions.

FN Herstal is a world leader in the design, development and manufacture of small caliber portable weapons and weapon systems, and equips more than 2,600 airborne platforms on all continents.

Sneak Peak – Grey Ghost Precision Prototype Rifle

Wednesday, October 8th, 2014

GGP-rifle during SWC training 2

This Grey Ghost Precision prototype rifle has recently finished a grueling train-up cycle (including SWC), and will soon be heading off to Afghanistan where a specialized unit given a bit of leeway with their weapon selection will be putting it through the ropes, so to speak.

Remember, nothing made by Grey Ghost goes commercial until it’s proven itself on a combat deployment.

FirstSpear Friday Focus – R37 Rifle Wrap

Friday, October 3rd, 2014

IMG_1788

Each week we focus on a different FirstSpear product and I’ve been wanting to share the R37 Rifle Wrap but we needed the right combination of photos and video to really show you what was up with it. Looks like the AV club at FS really came through this time.

It does so much; shooting mat, weapons case, drag bag.

Its exterior incorporates attachment points for 3D camouflage to aid in signature disruption and a reinforced webbing attachment point for drag and haul straps located at the forward taper of the wraps exterior.

The R37 can be transported by the FS 2” Standard Break-Away Sling, ECP Shoulder Straps or our Padded Speed Bag Shoulder Straps.

The Rifle Wrap can transport long-guns or carbines with a simple folding procedure.

When laid out flat the R37 is a comfortable pad to shoot from and two 6/12 pocket attachment fields provide area for optional pockets to store Binos, Wind Gauges and other essential items of target engagement.

The FirstSpear Exigent Circumstance Pack can be attached to the outside of the Rifle Wrap to give you some sustainment capability.

There are a lot of cool features in this design but the Tubes on the handles make it very adaptable for different weapons because you can alter the balance point. In addition to the different length configurations, you need to know that it is sized to fit into a variety of hard sided weapons storage cases. The ECP can also be attached to the exterior of the R37 during transport (ideally when your wearing the R37 as a backpack.)

Offered in Black, Coyote, ranger Green and MultiCam.

Now for the special offer. When you buy the R37 Rifle Wrap this weekend FS will ship it with a free Blast Mat (Black or Coyote) which attaches directly to the wide end of the R37 Rifle Wrap and is designed to take the brunt of muzzle blast and keep dust and debris from flying up. The corners can be weighted down to keep it in place. No code necessary.
