Cadex showed us a 3D printed prototype of this cool Extended Rail Mount in the ADS Inc booth at AUSA. At the USASOC Sniper Comp this week at Ft Bragg, they had a machined aluminum version. It attaches to a Knights Armament Rail to give you some additional rail real estate out in front of the sight.
These are available for unit and agency purchase through ADS Inc.

This is the spec sheet on the upcoming ATOM slide for the GLOCK. It is a purpose built slide replacement with cut outs that will accommodate various red dot optics.
Magpul has just announced that they are shipping Pink MOE Carbine Stock, Pink MOE Grip, and Pink MOE Carbine Handguard. Each will be priced the same as the other color options and Pink is currently planned as a limited release. Pink XTM Enhanced Rail Panels and XTM Handstop Kits are also planned to be produced.
King’s Arsenal designed the rifle around the Hornady A-MAX .50BMG ammunition and this prototype is around a half to 3/4 MOA gun.
They’ve certainly combined all of the right ingredients. Built on a Cadex Defence Strike 50 chassis which accommodates the McMillan Tac 50 action (both old and new style). King’s Arsenal also used a 28″ Lija barrel and a McMillan brake. Additionally, they’ve applied a Cerakote finish to the rifle in Tan (minus bolt) to match the Cadex chassis.
They’ve topped this one off with a Nightforce Optics 5.5x22x50 NXS with NP-R2 illuminated reticle optic.
It’s not on their website yet so email Jordan@kingsarsenal for full details.
The much anticipated Fusion Modular Mount from Unity Tactical is finally available for pre-order. Fusion is really a system consisting of a base which UT refers to as a Hub as well as adapters for accessories such as lights, lasers, optics, and other ancillary equipment. The strength of Fusion is that, as new items are introduced and TTPs change, there’s no need to purchase an entirely new mount. All you’ll need to do is reconfigure your setup with adapters. It’s kind of like a mount version of a Legos construction set.
The Picatinny standard hub is constructed from precision milled 6061-T6 aluminum that is Type 3 anodized in Black or FDE and features four mounting surfaces; a top surface, forward surface, and two wing surfaces. Additionally, the wing accessories are reversible. Incidentally, these wing accessory adapters are also compatible with UT’s Ops-Core ARC rail adapter as well as the Tubular Rail Adapter.
Here are a few configurations to give you an idea of how the Fusion’s components can be set up.

Earlier this week, the Marine Corps released a MARADMIN effectively banning the use of polymer magazines in their 5.56mm magazine-fed weapons. Naturally, everyone immediately thought about Magpul who’s PMAGs have become almost synonymous with polymer magazines. This is their response to inquiries.
We have been asked for commentary on the recently released MARADMIN affecting PMAG use in the United States Marine Corps. In response, here is a statement from our founder:
I am the founder of Magpul Industries and also a former active duty Recon Marine (88-94, 0321/0352). We also have several other former active duty Marines in the company, and have from our very beginnings. Our mission and foundations have always had at their core the best interests of our Marine Brothers and all US Service men and women.
There is indeed an issue with respect to IAR compatibility with the first generation, and MREV, or GEN M2 PMAG, due to the IAR having an SA-80/HK416 specification magazine well as opposed to the standard, Colt specification magazine well of other US service arms. While we certainly wish the IAR was specified with a standard magazine well, it has been fielded as submitted, and this incompatibility now presents a safety and survivability issue for those Marines deployed in Combat.
As such, we support the intent of this memo with respect to compatibility with our earlier generation PMAGs.
Our current generation PMAG, the GEN M3, is fully compatible with the IAR, the M4, the M16A4, and all other 5.56 platforms in the current US inventory. We are currently well into the process of arranging 3rd party verification and official testing to prove the advantages in performance, durability, lifecycle, and potential cost savings of the GEN M3 PMAG as a fully IAR compatible magazine solution for consideration by the USMC and the other Armed Services.
S/F,
Richard Fitzpatrick
