BROWE Inc has introduced their 4 x 32 Combat Optic (BCO) in both and A-TACS AU Flat Dark Earth to complement the Black version already on the market.
The BCO is “dip coated” in A-TACS AU which many will find effective for camouflage and will blend in with the finish of many weapons already coated in the pattern.
In the case of the FDE variant, they rely on a CeraKote “H” series thermal cured ceramic coating which is applied over the Bio Black Titanium anodizing.
The BOLO Report posted a good article on repeated cycling of individual rounds of ammunition causing a failure to fire. The issue came to light after a Georgia-based officer had a failure to fire malfunction during a use of force incident. It was determined that the chambered round failed to fire due to the primer mix being knocked out of the primer during repeated cycling of the same round at night when he unloaded his weapon after work.
While it came to light during an LE incident, the situation is even more likely to occur with military ammo as troops are required to regularly unload their weapons. Oftentimes, that round goes right back into the top of the magazine it was removed from and this is accomplished over and over throughout the course of a tour.
It is important for personnel that do not regularly expend their ammo to rotate their cycled rounds.

Mil-Spec Monkey alerted us to the new TI-7 Tactical Buttstock for AR-style carbines available exclusively from Accurate Armory. It looks like they have eliminated all of the edges that will catch on stuff and have included storage tubes beneath the sloped sides. Additionally, it features a “Rubber-Like” butt pad for a non-slip contact surface as well as a ambi socket for quick release sling swivels.
Available in Black, Flat Dark Earth, Olive Drab, Foliage Green for both Mil-Spec and commercial extension tubes. Monkey shared this photo with us and told us that you can also get the stock with a Flag print as well. Pretty cool. Overall, it’s another option for those who are looking for something different.

Sometimes you need something with some uumph. In the summer of 1914 an older British volunteer is said to have knocked a German aircraft down with a mounted 2-gauge fowling piece. Correia’s Owen Pitt used a custom Saiga to go after dangerous prey and Buettner’s Jazen Parker a HATT to do the same thing. Authors are going to need to consider this now.
It’s a .959 caliber rifle; 2,400 grain $40 bullet driven by 240 grains of powder.

This isn’t the first time that Blackhawk! has recalled their SERPA holsters. Apparently, this time it’s the light bearing models made before 2011.
The issue is that some SERPA Level 3 Light Bearing Duty Holsters have broken away from the jacket slot (the interface between holster and belt) due to improper assembly caused by using excessive force, improper screws or missing screws. They are offering a free replacement holster.
