U.S. Tactical Supply – SUPCOV Suppressor Covers
Thursday, November 13th, 2014
SUPCOV Suppressor Covers are now available from U.S. Tactical Supply. Manufactured from a high-temperature silicone composite, SUPCOV covers securely attach directly to the suppressor, and feature internal and external ribs which encourage cooling through convection, greatly increasing the elimination of mirage.
Multiple models of SUPCOV covers exist for suppressors of various sizes and makes. Available in Black or Coyote Brown depending on the model. SUPCOV Suppressor Covers are made in the USA.
As an example, these are the test results of the performance of the M110 SUPCOV as posted by U.S. Tactical Supply:
Test Results on the M110 SUPCOV:
Conditions
Daylight hours
94 degrees
3 x Sniper Instructors
Standard Iron Maiden targets (40”x 20”)
TEST Parameters:
1 x M110 Sniper Rifle fired 1 round every 2-3 seconds with no suppressor sleeve.
1 x M110 Sniper Rifle fired 1 round every 2-3 seconds with a suppressor sleeve.
Both weapons continued with this rate of fire until barrel mirage was too great to accurately engage targets.
Both weapons engaged the same target at approximately 467 meters.
Results:
M110 with no suppressor sleeve began to have significant barrel mirage at 21 rounds; shooter was unable to engage targets and be able to identify what he was engaging after 25 rounds.
M110 with the suppressor sleeve did not have any significant barrel mirage until 91 rounds; shooter was able to engage targets for another 3 rounds until he was unable to identify targets.

BCM – Kinesthetic Angled Grip
Wednesday, November 12th, 2014
The much anticipated BCM Kinesthetic Angled Grip is finally available. It’s the result of an ongoing collaboration between BCM and Travis Haley, offering an ergonomic forward grip with a reduced profile.
Manufactured from high-quality, impact resistant polymers, the KAG offers shooters a bio-mechanically efficient handstop platform which complements modern shooting grip techniques. Its forward rake design creates an interface for positive retention and joint limitation relief to the wrist, elbow, and shoulder for smooth weapons manipulations without adding substantial girth to a weapons system. The KAG is textured front and back for positive manipulation.
The KAG comes in two configurations: KAG-KM for KeyMod, and KAG-1913 for Picatinny rails.
The KAG-KM utilizes a patent pending snag free internal mounting system, allowing shooters to take advantage of KeyMod, one of the most popular and versatile weapon mounting systems currently available.
The KAG-1913 uses BCM’s Direct Mount Picatinny 1913 Interface System which spreads energy and force throughout the accessory while securing the grip to the mounting surface.
The KAG is available in Black, Foliage Green, Flat Dark Earth, and Wolf Gray.
