Seekins Precision certainly has developed a certain design aesthetic and this new flash hider certainly carries the theme. Offered in 1/2-28 and 5/8-24, these are made from tool steel and Melonite coated and designed to thread on without the need of a crush washer. The ports and prongs are not symmetrical so there is no timing or tuning fork effect.

Problem is, I can’t decide which Mag Wrap to use.
US Night Vision offers a wide variety of Mag Wraps from Rapid Wraps. In addition to various Pro-2A and Mil-Spec Monkey designs, they also offer images from the Hot Shots Calendar. They for standard AR-15 magazines and stop right at the mag well so there is no interference between the magazine and the weapon. User installed, each package will retrofit 2 Magazines.

The AML5.56 is a military-quality universal magazine loader system, designed to automatically load all 5.56mm magazines with a standard capacity of 30 rounds from all manufacturers. It’s designed to load 29 cartridges per magazine in nine seconds, and can load 18 magazines in less than three minutes. It holds up to 2000 cartridges at a time, however the addition of an external silo raises the amount to 10,000 cartridges. According to the manufacturer, it can even be customized to any caliber.

After months of development and multiple iterations, Parabellum Armament Co.’s Ratchet Charging System (RCS) for AK-pattern rifles is now ready for the market. The RCS is a drop-in replacement for the factory gas tube that adds a non-reciprocating forward charging system and true bolt hold open to an AK-pattern rifle. Made from 4140 steel, the RCS weighs only 6.5 ounces, and comes in gas nitrided black. The RCS will be available this January from licensed retailers and on Parabellum Armament Co.’s website.
Dueck Defense unveiled their new as-yet-unnamed sight for GLOCKs at this week’s SureFire Writer’s Event. It features a wide, rear sight with a smooth rack notch that easily catches on belts, pants or holsters when you want it to but doesn’t have sharp edges that catch on everything you pass by or cut you up. I can attest to the design. I was able to rack the slide one handed by catching the rear sight on my gear during drills but it never caught on anything even when I was wearing a hoodie.
The rear sight notch is .145″ wide x .120″ deep with a front sight width of .115″. This leaves to columns of .015″ worth of daylight on either side of the front sight. Front man Barry Dueck explained that his experience is that the wider rear sight is a bit more forgiving as the contrast of the light helps the brain center the sight. Narrower rear sight notches can result in little contrast and slower sight alignment.
Production models will be Melonite coated but these pre-production samples were blued in order to get them on the guns in time for the event. You also may notice that the front sight isn’t serrated. Dueck explained that coated serrations wear off over time on the high points. In the long run, you end up constantly coating them in order to reduce shine.
According to Dueck, this new sight will be offered with different front sight options. I was able to use the fiber optic insert variant as well as the standard Black front sight but there is also a Tritium variant. Look for availability in the next 6-8 weeks.
Lanco Tactical, LLC is pleased to announce the Grip Stop Mod 2. The Grip Stop Mod 2 is the next step in the evolution of the original Grip Stop design. It takes the original Grip Stop and adds the ability to mount it directly onto any standard 1913 Picatinny rail. The original Grip Stop was the culmination of a brainchild design by a former U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran to fill the void between using a vertical grip and hand stop. It allows a variable angle grip to prevent locking the wrist. Use as an assist to the modern “C grip” technique or as a barrier stop. The Grip Stop™ Mod 2 is 100% designed and made in the USA. It is made from solid billet aluminum and then hard coat anodized black.
The Grip Stop Mod 2 fits: MK-18 Block 2 (Daniel Defense); Heckler & Koch 416 & M27 IAR; KAC MK-11, MK-12 & M110 Sniper Rifles; Standard Issue M-16A4, M4 & M4A1; Any Mil-Std 1913 Picatinny Rail. With a weight of just over 3 oz. the Grip Stop Mod 2 will not add unwanted weight to a weapon.
The Grip Stop Mod 2 is available now from Lanco Tactical, LLC. For more information on government, LEO, Dealer, or Distributor purchases, please contact Lanco Tactical at 717-367-7221 or www.lancotactical.com.

Magpul is now shipping the Rail Light Mount and PMAG 10 LR/SR Gen M3 magazine.
Rail Light Mount
The Rail Light Mount is constructed of reinforced polymer, and includes everything needed to mount SureFire 300 and 600 series Scout lights, 1913 Picatinny attachment pistol lights, and all light bodies from .75″ to 1.03″ in diameter thanks to the included set of anodized aluminum mounting rings. The mount is designed to fit on any standard 1913 Picatinny rail, is available in right or left side models, and integrates with the Magpul XTM panels. Its design positions the weapon light high and cantilevered forward, at the 11 o’clock or 1 o’clock position, to allow for a more forward support hand position, keep the light tucked in close to the bore, and to minimize barrel shadow. A textured thumb ramp is integrated to provide the user an index point, aiding consistent hand placement and light activation.
