How To Use The Sling Ding

Saturday, October 19th, 2013

Since so many people have been asking about the mechanics of Pat McNamara’s Sling Ding, TYR Tactical put this video together.

According to TYR Tactical, “The Sling Ding affords more positions for the operator’s hand than a vertical fore grip, assists in elevating the weapon’s muzzle off the shooting platform, and facilitates a smaller profile when shooting around corners or barricades.” I’d say that Pat does a good job of demonstrating his device in the video.

The Sling Ding is still available for order. From now until Monday, October 21st, Tyr Tactical is offering the Sling Ding for purchase on their website. This will be the only opportunity to get a hold of a Sling Ding until their official release on January 1st, 2014.

Tyr Tactical – Sling Ding

Thursday, October 17th, 2013

Developed by 22-year US Army Special Operations veteran Pat McNamara, Tyr Tactical’s Sling Ding is a more versatile alternative to a standard vertical fore grip. The Sling Ding affords more positions for the operator’s hand than a vertical fore grip, assists in elevating the weapon’s muzzle off the shooting platform, and facilitates a smaller profile when shooting around corners or barricades.

The Sling Ding is constructed from heavy duty schedule 80 PVC and attaches to any rail system that accepts a push button quick release sling swivel. It attaches between the weapon and any 1.25″ or narrower sling. The Sling Ding can be painted or textured by the end user to match any desired camo pattern.

This Thursday, October 17th, through Monday, October 21st, Tyr Tactical is offering the Sling Ding for purchase on their website. This will be the only opportunity to get a hold of a Sling Ding until their official release on January 1st, 2014.

Additionally, Tyr Tactical will be present at the 2013 ATOA Conference, booth #21, October 17th-18th. Pat McNamara will be a guest speaker at the event.

Blue Force Gear Receives Patent On Their RED Swivel

Wednesday, October 16th, 2013

This is great news for Blue Force Gear. Congrats, guys!

WASHINGTON, D.C.— October 16, 2013 — The United States Patent and Trademark Office issues Patent No. 8,516,732 to Blue Force Gear for their RED swivel. The Rapid Emergency Detachment (RED) swivel offers a replacement option for standard push button sling swivels through the unique knob shaped pull tab design.

When seconds count, a pull-knob emergency release is more reliable to discharge than a tiny, hard to find push button. For the times when you need your weapon and other combat equipment off seconds ago, you’ll be glad to have this on your gear.

“We realized that under stress the ‘Quick Detach’ push button simply wasn’t,” said Ashley Burnsed, Blue Force Gear’s CEO. “Sometimes you need to get out of your gear rapidly and we found that a traditional push button style QD didn’t allow an emergency release every time. The RED swivel does.”

The patented RED swivel releases with a 7lb pull straight out from the socket. The chance for accidental release is minimized by the knob shape and the fact that a pull more than 10-15 degrees off axis will not release the connection. If you work with a rifle over or near water, or in other conditions where sling entrapment is a substantial risk, the RED swivel can be a lifesaver.

The RED swivel can also be paired with the Burnsed Socket or push button Universal Wire Loop – both from Blue Force Gear – to make the fastest 2 to 1 point sling on the market.

HTC/Rogue Gunfighter Low Vis Demo Day – FIREClean

Sunday, October 13th, 2013

At the recent HTC/Rogue Gunfighter Low Vis Demo Day we took a look at FIREClean, an odorless, biodegradable gun oil that destroys carbon contamination and helps prevent future fouling. It cleans and lubricates, and firearms treated with FIREClean “blows out” fouling instead of trapping it. FIREClean is also extremely heat resistance, especially when compared to conventional or synthetic oils. Made in the USA.

Bravo Company USA – New BCMGunfighter Products

Monday, October 7th, 2013

Bravo Company USA is beginning sales of the newest iterations of their popular Gunfighter Grip Mod and Vertical Grip weapon components.

Gunfighter Grip Mod 3

The Grip Mod 3 features a reduced angle for improved ergonomics and trigger control. A hinged trap door offers storage inside the grip with a water-resistant rubber gasket. The Grip Mod 3 has an extended forward tang to close the gap between the trigger guard and grip and a high rise “beavertail” style back strap. This grip is up to a quarter of an inch wider when compared to the BCMGunfighter Mod 0 and Mod 1 grips.

www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCMGUNFIGHTER-Pistol-Grips-s/

Vertical Grip SHORT

The Vertical Grip SHORT is designed with a low-profile length for increased mobility and decreased “snag” factor. The forward angle increases the rigidity of the forearm while providing a more natural wrist angle. Spring loaded, reversible clamps allow for easy installation and removal and for users to setup fasteners on either side; this allows the SHORT to be mounted in reverse angle to increase control when grabbing handguard and grip. The grip’s flat sides give better yaw control to the shooter during firing and non-firing manipulations. Cross bolt mount designed to work with improvised tools and allow for easy adjustment or re-tightening.

www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCMGUNFIGHTER-Vertical-Grips-s/

Both the Mod 3 grip and vertical SHORT are made in the U.S.A. and manufactured from high quality, impact resistant polymers. Available color options: Black, Flat Dark Earth and Foliage Green.

Daniel Defense Introduces The Newly Designed AR15 Lite Rail II

Tuesday, October 1st, 2013

What do you guys think?

Black Creek, GA – September 30, 2013 – Daniel Defense, Inc. has unveiled the latest advancement in rail systems for the AR15 platform. The AR15 Lite Rail II is the next generation of Lite Rail from Daniel Defense. With thousands of the Lite Rail Series already in existence, this proven handguard just got better.

The improved design enhances the rail’s structural integrity, improves functionality, aesthetics and ease of installation to the weapon system without compromising its best-known attributes, one of which being the lightest rail system on the market. Enhanced features include a machined from one piece aluminum rail which replaces our previous two piece welded design, our patented Bolt-Up System™, requiring only 4 bolts instead of 6, with tabs that aid in alignment to the upper receiver during installation. Front and Rear Sling Swivel Attachment Points are integrated into both the left and right side rails and are designed to limit the swivel’s rotation.

“Once we develop and deploy a new product, we begin discussing how we can make an already superior product even better,” says Marty Daniel, President and CEO of Daniel Defense. “The AR15 Lite Rail II is the product of innovative thought and a very talented team of engineers. In the end, we made it even Lighter, Stronger, Better…”

The AR15 Lite Rail II is available in multiple lengths and variations, including: AR15 Lite Rail II 7.0, 9.0, 9.5 FSP, 10.0, 12.0, 12.0 FSP, 12.0 FSPM and 14.0. While most options are available now, the AR15 Lite Rail II 12.0 FSPM and 14.0 will be available in Q1, 2014.
