Raven Concealment developed the new Quick Mount Straps so that you wouldn’t have to thread the holster on and off the belt, which when you throw some belt loops in the mix can become a real pain.
Made from the same material as their IWB Soft-loops, and utilizing the same Mil-Spec “Pull-The-Dot” snap fasteners, the new QMS maintain the same ride height as their standard polymer loops, and are compatible with all of Raven’s holsters and modular carriers including those with MD-cut profiles.
SureFire is offering three ways to save on 60 round High Capacity Magazines and pouches (manufactured by FirstSpear for SureFire) now, until July 4th.
Barry Dueck comes up with some great weapons parts. This time, he’s introduced the Rapid Latch for use with FN SLP and Winchester Super X shotguns. It just made loading these shotguns a whole lot easier.

For those of us used to the ample amount of mounting space afforded by the Picatinny rails on our M4 carbines, the AK family of small arms can come off as a bit of a disappointment. What’s more, the short sight radius of the Kalishnikov leaves many of us questioning the utility of the weapon at longer ranges. Various mounting adaptions to the AK have come along, including the Russian scope mount solution but now something new is available that addresses both issues I’ve raised.
The new AKARS (AK Adaptive Rail System), designed and manufactured by Parabellum Armament is now available through Blackheart International. AKARS is a four-point mounting platform consisting of a replacement receiver cover and an integrated rail adapter combined with a one-piece 1913 Picatinny rail/rear sight assembly and attaching hardware.
The AKARS Picatinny rail assembly replaces the OEM rear sight leaf, installing directly onto the rear sight mounting location (mounting point ONE). This gives the AKARS a positive mounting point that eliminates the slop found in many optic mounts that install only onto the receiver cover. That thing moves all over the place. Additionally, the rail assembly includes a built-in Back Up Iron Sight.
The hinged design of the rail mount allows the AKARS/sight assembly to lift up and out of the way for easy access to the interior of the AK receiver. This permits operators to perform routine cleaning, maintenance and address firing/feed malfunctions without removing the optic or losing the rifle’s zero.
The AKARS receiver cover/adapter assembly installs onto the Picatinny rail assembly via two precision locating pins (mounting point TWO) with no tools needed. Once the receiver cover assembly is installed onto the rail assembly, the receiver cover is secured to the receiver via the AK’s standard rear sight base (mounting point THREE) and driving spring (mounting point FOUR).
The AKARS is available now through www.BHIgear.com
Raven Concealment Systems has just announced that they have made several improvements to their “Quick-Ship” product category.
First, they’ve added single and double modular pistol magazine carriers for twenty different models of pistols. These are available in both black and coyote brown. You can also order them with standard profile or the ever-popular “MD-Cut.” Also, they have added their AR-15/M-4 modular rifle magazine carriers. As with the pistol magazine carriers, the rifle magazine carriers are also available in both black and coyote brown, with standard profile or MD-Cut options.
Additionally, starting today, all Quick-Ship products ship in 30 days or less! RCS promises that more models are coming soon.
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.
