AUSA – Cadex Defence

Wednesday, October 24th, 2012

The Mk15 Upgrade Kit is designed to take a McMillan single shot .50 bolt action weapon and turn it into a magazine fed weapon. Utilizing the Cadex Defence Chassis System, it is a modular system that will allow future upgrades or changes in components. The modular construction of the Strike 50 stock also makes for a stronger chassis as the “lower” is a single piece. Additionally, the chassis is configurable through the use of Picatinny rail sections.

The folding stock is adjustable for comb, length of pull and buttpad height without tools.

This upgrade kit is available through ADS Inc.

Lots of stuff in the Colt booth. First off, these photos are for those of you who wondered how they reconcile the 5.56 and 7.62 mag wells of the 901.

Notice that the front takedown (or pivot) pin is slightly forward of and below normal on the 901. An adapter for the narrower throat of the 5.56 upper is pinned place on the normal, Mil Spec point.

Next, they displayed three rifles marked as Prototype.

They also had quite a few interesting custom finishes on display.

Finally, Colt showcased the M45A1″ built for the USMC.

PMAG GEN M3/USGI Feedlip Drop Test

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2012

Magpul conducted a demonstration of their new M3 PMAG technology.

This is a video from our feed lip drop testing. With a sample size of one each in this video, it is still an “unscientific” demonstration, but we didn’t think you’d want to see hours of magazines falling. This test is very typical of the overall results. This is the loaded magazine room temperature feed lip drop on concrete, from 6 feet, PMAG 30 GEN M3 vs USGI, tan follower, followed by full auto function fire. All drops were from a fixture to control impact angle and release. Test firearm is an HK 416.
