Telluric Group Completes Collimator Shipment To US Army

Sunday, May 4th, 2014

Jacksonville, FL – May 1, 2014 – Telluric Group, LLC. completed delivery of Small Arms Collimator (SAC) Kits to the US Army for inclusion in the Advanced Sniper Accessory Kit (ASAK). The SAC Kits, referred to by the Army as Sniper Weapon Collimators (SWC), were designed for use with the M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System (SASS) and the M2010 Enhanced Sniper Rifle (ESR). They also work with legacy M24 sniper rifles.

Small Arms Collimator

The collimators were chosen by the Army as a no-comparison solution for two reasons. First, they speed up the initial live-fire zero process for weapons that have not yet been zeroed (i.e. during sniper training). Second, and most critically, they allow deployed snipers to accurately check zero in any environment without live-fire. “Going into the fight with a good zero is critically important,” said Brian Garrett of Telluric Group. “The SAC allows snipers to confirm zero quickly anytime, anywhere- before they leave the FOB [forward operating base], after movement across rough terrain, or even at their final firing position.” By ensuring that weapons are always zeroed, SACs have improved Soldiers’ confidence in their weapons and continue to enhance operational effectiveness.

Pouches

Small Arms Collimators are manufactured by Pyser-SGI Limited, a British defense company known for over a century for their reliability and innovation. SACs are available for assault rifles, sniper weapons, machine guns, and grenade launchers. They work with iron sights, day optics, and image intensified night vision optics. Collimators are also available for thermal weapon sights and for IR and visible laser aiming devices. Telluric Group is the exclusive US distributor for Pyser-SGI and the Small Arms Collimator.

Intelligent Armour – Universal Covert Shoulder Rig

Sunday, May 4th, 2014

IA Covert Rig

Developed from IA’s older H&K MP5 A3 and MP5K covert shoulder rigs, the Universal Covert Shoulder Rig is adaptable to most “sub” size weapons. Four points of adjustment allow for the rig to be sized to any size covert operator.

The upper section is made of leather and rests on the shoulders. It is adjustable in the center of the shoulder blades for a better fit. The sling section comes in two sizes: short and long, although it can also can be customized by the manufacturer based on user requirement. The sling incorporates the military specification HK Snap Hook.

The MOLLE panel has adjustable belt loops, and is adjustable at the top so it can snugly fit under the arm.

The Covert Shoulder Rig is designed to fit under most clothing, but is designed to work best with jackets and long mac type coats.

Made in the UK.

B&T AG – VP9 – An Integrally Suppressed Pistol

Friday, May 2nd, 2014

Vet Pistol

Designed at the request of a large animal Veterinarian who was called out to deal with animals that have been hit by cars on the Autobahn, the VP9 (Veterinarian Pistol – 9mm) is a quiet, single-shot pistol intended use when putting down injured animals and wounded game.

The pistol and suppressor components of the VP9 were developed simultaneously to produce the most quiet 9mm pistol in the world. Capable of a reduction of 31.5 dB, the suppressor is designed so that even standard 124 gr. FMJ ammunition won’t reach supersonic speed, producing a noise level as low as 129 dB – roughly the same level of noise as a car door closing; use of subsonic ammunition further lowers the sound signature to around 125 dB. In fact, according to B&T, the shot is so quiet that manipulating the bolt-like-action to cycle another round is louder than the shot itself.

No word on when the VP9 will be available for purchase, however it was featured in the April 2014 issue of the B&T Partner Update, so expect further updates soon.

SureFire Ryder 22 Suppressor Disassembly Video

Thursday, May 1st, 2014

This video features a quick demonstration of the disassembly of the brand new SureFire Ryder 22 suppressor.

At last December’s SureFire writers event I had a chance to fire and play with the new Ryder 22 suppressor. I shot this quick video to show you how easy it is to disassemble for maintenance. You may notice that the pig-nosed baffle stack is numbered so putting it back together is a snap.

SureFire Releases SF Ryder 22 Suppressor

Wednesday, April 30th, 2014

SF_22

Fountain Valley, CA — SureFire, LLC, manufacturer of high performance illumination tools, suppressors, and tactical products, has begun shipping its new SF Ryder Series Suppressors – debuting with the SF Ryder 22-A. Built to the same exacting standards as the Fast-Attach models, this ultra-lightweight and rugged rimfire suppressor optimized for .22 caliber pistols and rifles, features patented red-hard-anodized pig-nosed baffles that ingeniously reduce muzzle blast and make for easy disassembly and cleaning

“The SF Ryder Series is another example of SureFire’s commitment to cutting edge design and exacting performance,” said Lea Ramthun, SureFire’s Director of Marketing. “Its versatility, compact size, and ease of use and cleaning make it the perfect accessory for any .22 sportsman.”

The SF Ryder 22 features a unique pig-nosed baffle design that provides superior sound attenuation while still making it easy to service. Each baffle is Red Mil-Spec hard anodized to minimize finish erosion and makes carbon buildup easier to spot when cleaning. Built-in spacers also help reduce carbon buildup between the suppressor tube and baffle stack, and each baffle is numbered and indexed to make re-asembly simple.

“If you’ve ever done much shooting with a .22 caliber suppressor, you know that the carbon and lead buildup can be a nightmare, sometimes serving to fuse the pieces together and requiring a mallet and elbow grease to disassemble.” said Jeremy Stafford, Guns & Ammo contributor. “This wasn’t the case with the Ryder 22, as it seamlessly came apart even after exceeding the normal cleaning interval.”

The ultra lightweight SF Ryder comes in at a mere 3.1 ounces due to its fluted body design and rounded edges. A stainless steel threaded interface ensures the Ryder removes as a single unit, and its single-point cut 1/2 x 28 threads provide a secure attachment to any .22 pistol or rifle with a 1/2 x 28 thread pitch. At only 5.4 inches in length, and 1 inch in diameter, the SF Ryder 22 will not weigh down or obstruct your sight picture.

The SF Ryder 22-A comes with an assembly/disassembly tool, and suppressor pouch. MSRP is $469 and is available for purchase through authorized SureFire Suppressor dealers. For complete product information, visit www.surefire.com/sf-ryder-22-a.
