Bravo Company Joins Forces with Haley Strategic Partners to Introduce The Jack Carbine

Monday, December 10th, 2012

Bravo Company has joined forces with Haley Strategic Partners to produce The Jack, as in “Jack of all Trades.” The technologies integrated into this carbine build are impressive, to say the least.

Built on a Bravo Company lower and upper, the 5.56mm carbine relies on BCM’s 14.5″ Government Profile Barrel (and mid-length gas system) with a permanent mounting of the brand new BCMGUNFIGHTER Compensator making it a 16″ Civilian Legal Barrel. This is paired with the excellent Geissele Super Modular Rail mounted with a BCM Diopter Front Folding Battle Sight and Rear Folding Battle Sight.

HSP also specified the ALG Defense ACT Trigger which gives you a Geissele quality trigger in a US GI package as well as the newly debuted B5 Systems SOPMOD Bravo Stock mounted to a Bravo Company receiver extension. The Jack also includes a BCM GUNFIGHTER Charging Handle and Mod I Pistol Grip. Weighing in at 6 lbs 11 oz (with light, mount and irons), The Jack incorporates the Inforce WML-HSP (Momentary Only White Light Black Body) mounted to a Haley Strategic Thorntail Offset Light Mount built by Impact Weapons Components right out of the box. All of this topped off with a custom Disruptive Grey tone Cerakote finish by Joint Force Enterprises. This gun is ready to go as soon as you pick it up from the FFL. The only thing you will want to do to upgrade The Jack is to add an optic of your choice.

I am continually impressed at the quality of BCM guns and the number of products that are debuting on The Jack is a testament to the hard work that Haley Strategic Partners put into working with their industry affiliates to make this a reality.

ALG Defense

Monday, December 10th, 2012

ALG Defense is a relatively new company started by Amy Geissele. They take unfinished 8620 alloy castings of standard issue M4 triggers as used by Colt and give them the Geissele magic. In addition to new pins and springs, they finish the triggers. They don’t change the overall geometry of the trigger but rather polish the sear surfaces smooth and HardLube the trigger components. HardLubing is how ALG refers to their electroless Nickel plating. They use an integral modifier to the base nickel plate. Either Boron or Teflon is used to enhance surface hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance and also create favorable tribological properties of the trigger components.

Currently, ALG Defense offers two models. The ALG Combat Trigger (ACT) seen below and the Quality Mil-Spec (QMS) Trigger.

Pull weight is above the US Military minimum pull weight of 5.5 lbs but does not reach near the upper limit of 9.5 lbs. Generally the pull is around 6 lbs. Installation is as a standard trigger and parts may be interchanged between triggers as there are no matched sets. In fact, your trigger is going to look like a standard trigger but under the hood, it’s a Geissele.

Magpul’s Magazine for the LWRC Six8 UICW Carbine

Sunday, December 9th, 2012

At last week’s USASOC Sniper Competition I got a chance to shoot a few photos of the Magpul M3 magazine developed specifically for the new LWRC International Ultra Compact Individual Weapon. The idea was to give you a better look at how to identify this magazine even though it remains quite rare.

Overall, it has the same layout and components of the new commercial M3 PMAG. Yet, the actual dimensions are quite specific to accommodate the UICW’s magwell.

One striking feature is the Red color of the follower and floor plate lock.

You can also identify the magazine by the data plate.

Finally, the curve is slightly different since the 6.8 round is different than the 5.56 round.

As the UCIW’s magwell features slightly different dimensions than a standard lower, you aren’t going to be able to use this mag with your current 6.8 carbine.
