Sunday, December 22nd, 2013

Mk4_RCEfff5f9

Fayette, MO — For the past decade, CMMG has delivered precision-machined AR rifles known for their exceptional function, accuracy and reliability. The latest rifle to embody these features is the CMMG Mk4 RCE, available in 5.56x45mm NATO or .300 AAC Blackout.

The Mk4 RCE is one of CMMG’s premier 2014 rifle models. At its core is an M4 upper receiver and an AR15 lower receiver – both forged from 7075-T6 aluminum. The barrel is a matte finished 416 stainless steel 16” barrel with 1:7 rifle twist. The Mk4 RCE weighs just 6.5 pounds unloaded and weighs 7.5 pounds with a fully-loaded 30-round PMAG. It is 33 inches long with the stock collapsed and is 36 3/8 inches in length with the stock extended.

The RCE includes an RKM14 KeyMod free-floating hand guard with a 1913 Picatinny rail on top. The KeyMod slots are found at the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions and offer shooters a low-profile mounting alternative to the M1913 Picatinny rail. For accessories that are not yet KeyMod compatible, users can purchase a separate CMMG 5-slot Picatinny adapter rail that can be easily attached to any of the KeyMod slots for optimal placement of the accessories.

The Mk4 RCE is equipped with a CMMG SV muzzle break that helps to reduce recoil and increase muzzle control for quick and manageable follow-up shots. The muzzle break is built from nitride finished 4140 steel and is able to withstand harsh conditions while providing steady and consistent muzzle rise compensation.

By partnering with other industry leaders, the Mk4 RCE has some of the best components available to complete the rifle. Some of these parts include a Geissele Automatics SSA 2-stage trigger, a Magpul CTR adjustable stock and Magpul MOE pistol grip and trigger guard. One Magpul PMAG with a 30-round capacity is included with the rifle.

The Osprey system is a gas piston upgrade for your AR-15. Switching to a gas piston operating system from a direct gas impingement one leads to a cleaner and cooler operating rifle. This should lead to fewer malfunctions and considerably more time between cleanings. The OPS-416 kit is a true drop-in gas piston conversion, installing easily in a few minutes with a minimum of tools or technical expertise.

Magpul Enters Dedicated 2-Point Sling Market With MS1

Tuesday, December 17th, 2013

The new MS1 Sling from Magpul is a dedicated 2-Point model that can also be used as a Single Point Sling through the use of adapters.

20131217-181744.jpg

It’s built around their MS1 slider to provide rapid adjustments to either lengthen or shorten the sling with no slipping once set, and no tails, loops, or other potential snag hazards. The MS1 system also has a series of adapters that are sold separately and based on the MS3 and MS4 slings. By adding the appropriate adapter (available in Paraclip or QD) for the sling, you can easily add one-point functionality to your MS1.

They’ve been perfecting the design for some time now and had this to say about development –

In testing, the sling had to survive tens of thousands of cycles in wet, dry and sandy conditions, static load testing without slippage for 72 hours and weighted 6 foot dynamic drop tests. In addition to the controlled lab tests, we also swam it, jumped it, hunted with it, hiked into the mountains with it, and most importantly shot with it in a variety of rugged field conditions
