Vltor SCAR Stock
Tuesday, March 27th, 2012Vltor has produced a few upgrades to the SCAR’s standard furniture. One item is the SCAR Stock.
Coming in April, this new stock is completely compatible with the FN SCAR but incorporates some of Vltor’s modstock functionality. For example, the adjustment mechanism is unchanged and it still works the same including folding. However, it looks and feels completely different. The buttpad has been re-shaped to include a negative pitch for a more natural transition to the ready position and storage space has been added behind the buttpad with built-in cleaning rod retention and cleaning material storage spaces. Additionally, QD sling swivel sockets have been added in the upper-rear portion of the stock, and a metal reinforcement plate has been added for greater impact resistance.
The SCAR Stock is available in Black and Tan and fits both light and heavy models.

After-market parts and modifications are also reviewed in detail.
This is a trigger assembly mock-up he built to demonstrate how the weapon functions:

Ase Utra Introduces New BoreLock Fast Attach System Products
Saturday, March 24th, 2012During the recent EnforceTac show in Germany, Ase Utra introduced new products in their BoreLock fast attach system line. The HiPer flash hiders are designed to provide flash suppression on various barrel lengths, for both 5.56 mm and 7.62 mm weapons.
Interestingly, the technology looks very similar to the BE Meyers flash hiders we recently wrote about. If so, I’d say that they are on to something.

20mm Ultra Long Range Sniper System from Anzio Ironworks
Wednesday, March 21st, 2012This video by Tactical Life of Anzio Ironworks‘ 20×102mm magazine fed, bolt action Ultra Long Range Sniper System is a couple of years old but I wanted to share it anyway. I used to regularly fire a 20mm cannon testing armor systems and I can tell you that at the velocities we were generating I wouldn’t want to shoulder fire the load.

Caveat Emptor – Counterfeit Dueck Defense RTS Sights
Wednesday, March 21st, 2012Be aware, there are currently a number of counterfeit Dueck Defense RTS Sights currently being sold on eBay, apparently being marketed at the MilSim community (no, not interested in an all-encompassing “Airsofters are evil” diatribe). We first mentioned the Dueck RTS in Dec of 2010. Effectively, they can work as backup sights or as dedicated transition sights for close in targets when your carbine is equipped with a scope. In fact, the RTS replicates the M16-style front and rear sight system many are used to from their time training with issue weapons just mounted on a 45 deg offset.
If you’re looking to purchase one, ensure you are getting the real thing. Dueck Defense RTS Sights are made in the USA and are ISO Certified. You can find the real thing on the Dueck Defense website or through SureFire.
Here’s a video of the sights in action:
