Remington ACR Compact 2012 Model
Saturday, July 21st, 2012Test Article Photos of MARSOC Winning Colt Rail Guns
Friday, July 20th, 2012These rather interesting photos come from TEST REPORT FOR THE CLOSE QUARTERS BATTLE PISTOL (CQBP) BID SAMPLES, PHASE II and are of Colt test articles from the CQB Pistol solicitation which was just awarded to Colt yesterday. They depict various frame cracks.
Guns 11, 12, 14 and 15 (1-10 were not fire tested) fired 12,000 rounds before being deadlined due to visible safety-critical cracks found in the slides. Each slide had cracks in the same location, but they varied in size.
One gun had its recoil spring bend enough to bind the slide to the point it no longer could be tested, it was withdrawn from testing.

Badger Ordnance Update
Wednesday, July 18th, 2012We haven’t written about Badger Ordnance in quite some time so we have some news to fill you in on.
The spotting scope night vision integrator mount is starting to get a lot of traction and is currently in use by almost every Army Special Forces Group. It allows you to mount night vision equipment to the M151 spotting scope (Leupold Mk IV 12-40x60mm). You can also mount other Picatinny compatible devices such as laser designators. They are currently working on NSN assignment and these are also available through ADS Inc for agency and unit purchase.
Two more items that have been doing very well are the Left Hand and Universal Charging Handles. Military demand has increased on these and Australian SOF just purchased nearly 1000 of the Universal models.
These couple of items are by no means the depth and breadth of Badger Ordnance’s offerings. Check them out at badgerordnance.com
