Sneak Peak – New Glock 42 Parts From TangoDown
Friday, June 27th, 2014SilencerCo Announces $20K ‘Conquest Kit’ With Limited Run
Friday, June 27th, 2014
WEST VALLEY CITY, UTAH – June 23, 2014 | Utah-based firearm silencer company SilencerCo began last week to take orders of what they’re calling “the greatest SilencerCo offer ever extended” – everything that they make in a custom hard case with unique serial numbers.
The Conquest Kit, as it has been dubbed, presents an opportunity to join a select class of customers. The kit contains every silencer (14) and accessory (47) the company makes within a laser-cut foam lined Pelican case with a SilencerCo logo. Benefits of the big-ticket collection are many, including one-on-one coaching from a SilencerCo employee upon receipt, the ability to choose custom serial numbers, and early access to future new products by joining the SilencerCo inner circle.
“We built the Conquest Kit because customers and dealers at live fire demos asked about having every silencer and accessory we make in one place — like our sales reps have,” noted Joshua Waldron, SilencerCo’s CEO. “We made the kit even better by putting it all in an awesome case, adding in the custom serial number option, and even including individual training after receipt.”
As part of this limited-time offer, SilencerCo is sweetening the deal by offering to pay the tax and transfer of each silencer, as required for all regulated NFA items by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BAFTE). This alone could save the customer over $3,500.
In its relatively short history, SilencerCo has elicited intense loyalty from an expanding customer base by regularly releasing innovative products of top-tier quality. Purchasing the Conquest Kit will guarantee advance notice and first-chance buys on any future releases of this nature. For more information, please visit http://www.silencerco.com/conquestkit.
Testing The 4.6mm Round With SMGLee
Friday, June 27th, 2014During the filming of one of the Larry Vicker’s Tac-TV show in California, he left with me a few boxes of the L-Tech 4.6 rounds as souvenir. It really just sat on top of my safe collecting dust until recently my friend in firearm division of a local Metro PD mentioned to me that a certain division within the PD is looking into the MP7 platform as a support weapon to gap the pistol and the carbine, but he was worried about the stopping power of the 4.6 round. Lo and behold, I remember the L-Tech ammo sitting on top of my safe and told him about it.
The L-Tech 31gr 4.6 loaded with Barnes TSX a solid copper projectile is the heaviest 4.6 round available on the commercial market and the performance of the TSX in the Blackhill 5.56 brown tip is just simply phenomenal, the 5.56 TSX is also a cartridge being considered as their SWAT carbine. He started to do some research on L-Tech ammo all the while H&K also introduced L-Tech to the division looking to adapt the MP7 as a choice for the duty round. The firearms division conducted some serious testing and the rest is history.
Which bring us to this video. We had the pleasure to work with H&K along with the help of the metro PD that adopted the MP7, and the L-Tech 4.6 TSX round on this test just to see if the MP7 with the proper ammunition can as effective on target as some of the more popular cartridges the market as to offer. As of this time, the Metro PD have adapted this platform and they are now running the L-Tech 31gr 4.6mm round as their duty round (the same round we tested in this video).
Besides testing the L-Tech 4.6, we also ran it against some of the more popular rounds on the market in order to give you a look into the performance potential of the L-Tech 31gr TSX 4.6 round and the H&K MP7.
Testing notes
For each caliber, two batches of 10 rounds each were pulled from the same ammunition lot.
For one of the batches of ten, the bullets were pulled from the casings and weighed to obtain the highest, lowest, and average weight as well as standard deviation to check for weight consistency of the ammunition lot.
The second batch of ten rounds were fired through the chronograph to obtain the highest, lowest, average, and standard deviation of muzzle velocity of this ammunition lot.
We were unable to secure a proper gun rest for the gelatin testing. Instead, all weapons were measured for their heights from the ground and leveled as carefully as possible.
We fully conformed to the instructions for mixture and cooling of the test gelatin. Gelatin temperature was carefully controlled during its manufacture, storage, and transportation and the gelatin was measured again for proper temperature just before commencing our tests.
A pump action air rifle was used to test the gelatin for consistency. The air rifle was tested at 587ft/sec muzzle velocity and the BB projectile was able to penetrate the gelatin at approximately 3.3″. This test helped to determine that the gelatin block was of the correct consistency and temperature range for proper ballistic testing.
Disclaimer: This test was performed to give the viewer a general idea of the performance of the 4.6mm round against other established calibers and is for information purposes only. Do not base your requirements and adoption of the caliber based solely on this video.

Grey Ghost Gear Teams Up With Noveske Rifle Works
Wednesday, June 25th, 2014Two great brands making things happen together. I like it.
Dalton Gardens ID 23 June 14 – How do you determine the value of badass? Can it be reckoned, or is it incalculable?
You’re about to find out.
Grey Ghost Gear (which is bad ass) has teamed up with Noveske (which is equally bad ass). How bad ass is that?
Effective immediately, Grey Ghost Gear will be carrying Noveske uppers and soon you’ll be seeing complete rifles.
Asked to give some background to the relationship between the two innovative companies, GGG Despotrix-in-Charge Lindsey Lea advises, “The love story began with my very first SHOT Show ever. That’s where I met John and Sheri. We’ve been friends since then and now that that Grey Ghost has decided to carry weapons, Noveske was the obvious choice—both out of our respect for John and of course for the obvious fact that they’re superb rifles.”
Buyers will see a Noveske tab on the Grey Ghost website from which to choose from a variety of Noveske models, including the Infidel, Rogue Hunter in 16” and 18”, some of the 10” uppers in both 5.56 and 300BLK and others.
Noveske Rifle Works’ Sheri Johson echoes Lea’s sentiment. “The people at Grey Ghost Gear are some of the best I know, really,” Sheri says. I’ve been a fan forever. When they came to me about high quality AR parts…well, it was obvious we were going to do it.”
Rumor has it Grey Ghost Gear may reciprocate by building a Noveske-specific line of gear like concealed carry messenger bags, a 3-gun setup and the like. You’ll want to watch for that.
Fans of both GGG and Noveske are also well advised to keep an eye on both companies’ social media. There will be a joint giveaway soon involving both Facebook pages and possibly Instagram—prizes will be Noveske uppers and GGG goodness.
Grey Ghost Gear + Noveske……badass
Additional info exclusive to SSD
Grey Ghost Gear DOES already have their FFL, that’s was accomplished Wednesday of last week – so there WILL be full Noveske rifles carried on the GGG website.
Sheri Johnson from Noveske is talking to Lindsey Lea from GGG about GGG building them their own soft good series; that is going to happen, they’re just trying to decide what and when.
“Badass Squared” morale patches will soon be available.
GGG and Noveske will be giving away five (5) uppers jointly between their Facebook pages over Independence Day weekend. This was hinted at in the press release, but that’s the actual number and date. IF POSSIBLE (not confirmed yet) one of them will be signed by the entire Noveske shooting team.
