Raven Concealment Systems ModuLoader

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

Raven Concealment Systems has teamed up with Ares Gear to produce the ModuLoader which carries five 12 or 20 ga shells. It’s a two-part system, consisting of the ModuLoader platform (which mounts quickly and securely to your belt) and the tear-away load carriage module (which allows the user to rapidly replenish or reconfigure the platform to perform multiple functions). In addition, the entire system remains extremely concealable and comfortable by conforming to the body shape of the user. The ModuLoader platform is 7.5″ long and weighs just under 2 ounces.

Available in a variety of colors and comes with an unconditional guarantee. Made in USA!

USSOCOM Precision Sniper Rifle

Saturday, November 5th, 2011

Yesterday, USSOCOM finally released the solicitation for the Precision Sniper Rifle.

“The PSR system is designed to address the operational effectiveness and SOF sniper survivability over the current inventory of sniper weapons. The major components of the PSR system are: rifle, ammunition, magazines, sound suppressor including a mirage mitigating device, operator manual, sling, cleaning kit, bipod, drag bag, and hard carrying case. These items have been determined to be a commercial item and are intended to fulfill the approved USSOCOM requirement for a PSR.”

In order to see the actual requirements you have to have explicit access meaning you have to be registered on the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) and be registered with a North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code of 332994 for small arms manufacturing and/or 332992 small arms ammunition manufacturing.

The previous entry on FBO will no longer be used for this solicitation.

Here is AAC’s taking a couple of shots with the Honey Badger. If this Honey Badger Pr0n, think of it as the gun equivalent to the “money shot.”

ARES-16 from ARES Defense

Friday, November 4th, 2011

ARES Defense walked us through their ARES-16 family of small arms. It is 5.56mm and incorporates a Gas-Piston, Short Stroke Tappet operating system. Actually, to configure the various weapons, the ARES-16 relies on different upper and lower receivers. These combinations allow the user to configure the weapon as:

-Sub-Carbine
-Carbine
-Assault Rifle
-Designated Marksman Rifle
-Magazine-Fed Assault Machine Gun
-Belt-Fed Assault Machine Gun
-Dual-Feed Assault Machine Gun
-Belt-Fed Mounted Light Machine Gun

For me, the most interesting configuration was the Dual-Feed (AMG-3). It allows the weapon to be fed by a SAW drum or a magazine. Notice in the photo below that the soft ammo pack sits lower than on the dedicated Belt-Fed gun (AMG-2). Interestingly, the machine gun configurations utilize an upper with non-reciprocating left side charging handle that lies along the top left edge of the upper. You can also see that this upper has a feed tray cover like a traditional belt-fed design.

Available as full weapons or upgrade kits for existing M16/M4 weapons.

Zombie Targets from ZERO Heavy Industries

Friday, November 4th, 2011

ZERO Heavy Industries isn’t a company that jumped on the “Zombie Bandwagon” to make a couple of quick bucks. On no, they recognized the Zombie menace from the git go and set up an entire company specifically to deal with the newest threat to our way of life.

In addition to full line of carbines, they’ve elected to produce a series of training aids. The Zombie targets are a full 23″ x 35″. Printed on 70 lb offset paper in full color on an earth tone background, using vegetable (soy) based inks. Additionally, there’s ample space to make notes in the margin. Heck, they’ve thought of everything. Even the environment. They print with vegetable (soy) based inks, and these targets are printed completely with wind-power credits. Available in packs of 3,6,12, or 24. Did we mention they are Made in USA!?

Look for an article on their line of Zombie neutralizing carbines soon, here on SSD.

Kolbeson Leatherworks

Monday, October 31st, 2011

Kolbeson Leatherworks is a one-man custom leather and Kydex operation in the great stat of Texas. He makes hand-stitched, hand-crafted carry gear for demanding users one piece at a time, literally in his garage. Some SSD readers may have already heard of him and a few discriminating shooters might already be using his kit. This is one of his most recent pieces, a quad mag pouch (he describes it as the “ever elusive single stack 4-pack). It’s adjustable for a .5”, .75” or 1” front or rear offset and it has a separate front and rear tension adjustment. It also features an extra set of loops so it can be separated and used as two separate double mag carriers if you’d prefer that.

You can check out Josh Kolbeson’s custom work at www.kolbesonleatherworks.com or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/kolbesonleatherworks.

Make sure you mention SSD, and tell him if you’re military or LE.
