DDM4V5 300

Tuesday, June 19th, 2012

Daniel Defense is now offering the .300 Blackout version of their popular DDM4V5 unveiled at SHOT Show 2012. The carbine includes the new DDM4 rail we showed last week which incorporates a 4-bolt pattern clamp. The .300 Blackout (7.62 x 35) cartridge has seen increased popularity recently due to its ballistics which are similar to 7.62 x 39. However, the .300 round can be used in an AR platform with the correct barrel and fit a standard 5.56mm magazine. This means you use the same platform you’ve been training on and same manual of arms you are accustomed to. There’s no need to adopt an entirely new weapon.

The recoil is slightly more than a 5.56mm weapon and cartridge manufacturers offer a variety of loads to include subsonic rounds for use with suppressors.

Features include –
-Upper Receiver: Mil-Spec with Indexing Marks and M4 Feed Ramps
-Barrel: Cold Hammer Forged, 1:8 twist, 16″ S2W Profile, Carbine Gas System, MP tested, and Salt Bath Nitride Finished
-Chamber: 300 AAC Blackout
-Flash Hider: Daniel Defense Flash Suppressor
-Bolt Carrier Group: Mil-Spec MP Tested, Properly Staked Gas Key
-Gas Block: Daniel Defense Pinned Low Profile Gas Block
-Handguard: Daniel Defense DDM4 Rail 12.0
-Vertical Grip: Daniel Defense A2 Styling Vertical Grip
-Rail Cover: (3) Daniel Defense low profile rail ladders
-Weight(no sights): 7lbs 1oz
-Available with or without sights
-Made in the USA!

Considering that the .300 Blackout cartridge is idea for use with a suppressor, it would be great if Daniel Defense would offer a suppressor compatible flash hider.

Bad Company Tactical R2S

Monday, June 18th, 2012

Bad Company Tactical has developed an innovative alternative to the traditional holstering of weapons. The Rapid Retention System or “R2S” is a modular weapon retention system that allows the shooter to retain and deploy a weapon rapidly and safely, and is currently offered in pistol and universal variants. Bad Company Tactical has developed a couple of options to deal with the exposed trigger guard such as the shroud seen in the photos.

It’s simple to use. You modify your firearm by attaching a Mil Std 1913 mounting plate to your rail which is made from 6064 T6 aircraft grade aluminum. It features the male portion of a tongue and groove system. To secure your weapon you slide the male portion of the R2S into place on the base and the angled, funnel shape guides it home. Interestingly, the inventor has related to SSD that the weakside thumb can rest on the attachment providing greater control of the sidearm. It’s also a great option for pistols with suppressors and incorporates a level two locking system to secure the rail and dovetail adapter to the base plate.

The Universal mount is designed to interface with rifles, shotguns, submachine guns, mechanical breaching tools, radios, etc. It works in much the same way and can be used to secure weapons and equipment in a variety of environments such as to packs and load bearing gear as well as vehicles or covert storage that requires rapid access.

These are still built in low rate production and funded by a guy currently on the job overseas so don’t go crying about price. This isn’t something you are going to pick up down at the local big box. He’s looking at alternative materials including kydex, carbon fiber, steel, titanium and plastics but each of those have their pluses and minuses in both cost and performance. Available in O.D. Green, Dark Earth Brown, and Black.

Strike Industries Cobra Tactical Fore Grip

Thursday, June 14th, 2012

This is the box art for Strike Industries’ upcoming Cobra Tactical Fore Grip. UhhmmmKay. Looks kinda familiar. Strike Industries insists it isn’t.

A description from Strike Industries –
“The Strike industries cobra grip was developed using innovation and feedback from combat veterans. The cobra grip is made from advanced polymer which is very strong and will definitely take a beating. The shooter can use different grip techniques and allows the user to have a secure and comfortable grip in any situation or position. It features a ridged front face that allows you to brace the rifle against a table or a wall and because it is ridged, it will prevent any sliding during the recoil kick. Another unique feature is the Cobra “hood”. It acts like a heat shield that will prevent the heat from going to your hands and gives your lead hand an ergonomic platform to use. The rear portion of the Cobra Grip can function as a hand stop. One advantage that the SI Cobra Grip has over its competitors is the friction lock design. Material has been removed from the center so when tightening the Main Screw, it will allow it to grip the rail system and thus preventing any wobbling due to lose fitment or over use of the grip. The Strike industries Cobra grip is slim and low profile which makes it very light weight. Shooters from all walks of life and different size hands can use the Strike Industries Cobra Grip without worrying if the grip is too big or the angle would be too aggressive that it would strain your hand. It is very ergonomic and economical.”

Daniel Defense Offering New Rail On Its DDM4 Rifles

Wednesday, June 13th, 2012

Daniel Defense has just unveiled their new DDM4 Rail which uses their patented Bolt-Up System, developed originally for the USSOCOM RIS II. Instead of 6 bolts, the DDM4 Rail only requires 4 bolts and lower rail in this model is closer to the barrel.

Interestingly, the new DDM4 Rail will only be available as part of an upper or full rifle configuration. Additionally, DDM4 versions traditionally offered with an Omega X or Omega X with FSP will be replaced with the DDM4 Rail. However, two of the Daniel Defense models will remain unchanged. The DDM4v7 series will continue to be built utilizing the Daniel Defense Modular Float Rail 12.0. Production of the Daniel Defense MK18 will will continue to include the RIS II designed for USSOCOM.

In a press release, Jordan Hunter, Marketing Manager at Daniel Defense related, “This one-­-piece design has a more narrow profile which lends itself to better weapon manipulation. Front and Rear Sling Adaptors are integrated into both the left and right side rails. The DDM4 Rail measures 1.9” wide, 2.165” high with an inner diameter of 1.08”.
