Juggernaut Tactical Rogue Bullpup Stock

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

Got an extra M1A or M14 laying around that you want to convert into a bullpup configuration? Then the Juggernaut Tactical Rogue Bullpup Stock is worth taking a look at. Their intent was to build the best possible stock from the outset for the M14.

Juggernaut Tactical thought the bullpup design was a natural for the M14 as it moves the action 11″ closer to the body making it more compact and more balanced. Additionally, this design makes it more capable in built up areas where a traditional M14’s length works against itself in tight spaces. This overall design could serve well as a counter-sniper platform.

Additionally, they have integrated several modern technologies into the design that are not found on a standard M14. It has an adjustable neoprene bedding system that eliminates tolerance issues with different manufacturer’s receivers, while still maintaining high accuracy. The optics are free-floated and the Rogue offers 39 inches of 1913 Picatinny rails, located at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock. The rails are laser indexed to simplify the attachment and reattachment of accessories. Additionally, it incorporates a push-button safety.

The stock is available in Black or Tan and available for order now from ustacticalsupply.com.

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

Here’s another product to check out at next week’s Soldier Equipment & Technology Expo & Conference at Fort Bragg. Ever have to “figure out” how to calibrate your thermal weapon sight? Infrared Tools developed the CaTTIS as an effective and consistent tool to calibrate a thermal weapon sight. It is easy to set up, easy to use, and works in all environments.

CaTTIS is available in two flavors. CaTTIS I is their original 25 meter zero target which works in all environments and uses chemical heaters for a clear aim point. CaTTIS II is the new 25 meter zero target with works in most environments and is smaller, lighter, and less expensive.

New Holster Option for MRD Equipped Glocks

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011

Grey Group Training just added a new holster from Safariland (ALS 6354 OPTIC QLS FORK) designed specifically for Glocks with a slide mounted mini red dot optic or tall target style adjustable sights. It is available in two versions, one is for a pistol with a mounted X300 and the other without, for both the Glock 17/22 and the 34/35 in right or left hand options. The version for the SureFire X300 is specifically designed to interface smoothly with the DG switch. As you can see, the holster is offered in MultiCam and covered in a suede/330D Cordura laminate for sound and visible signature reduction. The Cordura covering and all visible hardware is treated to minimize Near Infrared (NIR) and visible signatures.

The holsters come mounted with a Quick Locking System (QLS) 19 fork and have no other mounting provisions included. However, this will attach directly to a similarly equipped belt mount or leg shroud. The new fork is much stronger than the original model but won’t slide right into PALS webbing. To mount to MOLLE/PALS you will need a MOLLE fork with a QLS receiver. It’s 360 degree adjustable.

BOLO Report – Read It

Saturday, August 6th, 2011

A good friend has just launched a new blog intended for the LE side of tactical. The new BOLO Report gets its name from the Be On the Look Out (BOLO) reports used by LE (in particular Military LE) personnel. You might also have heard this referred to as an All Points Bulletin on the civilian side.

The BOLO Report already has some excellent content and the author is developing some great links to industry. In fact, the article on Safariland’s new 40mm specialty impact munitions is especially informative. Be sure to check it out.

L5AWM

Friday, August 5th, 2011

The Advanced Warfighter Magazine from Lancer is becoming popular with users. We received this short summary from a serving member of the US military:

On the AWM mags, they are a big hit. The guys that I have given them to like them a lot and like the way that they are functioning.

I even went so far as to load a clear magazine to 28 rounds, lay it on the concrete and run it over a couple of times with a jeep. We even stopped on top of it and turned the wheels on it, grinding it into the concrete. I then picked it up and went down to the firing line and it functioned without any issues, and is still functioning today.

On another mag, we did a “cold” test. We loaded the magazine full again (28 rounds) and kept it in the freezer for about 15-20 min. Then we took it outside and shot 7 rounds and then dropped the mag out of the mag well onto concrete from a standing position. Again no issues with it cracking or anything. We then picked it up and finished off the magazine with no malfunctions.

Lancer uses a progressive mold to fully integrate PTFE coated steel feedlips into the polymer design. Additionally, they have incorporated a textured surface to facilitate a positive grip. Finally, they designed the L5ARM to even fit the H&K 416. Available in 20 and 30 round models in Translucent, Translucent Black, Translucent Brown, Black, OD, FDE, and Foliage.

SPA Defense has the magazines available for unit/agency purchase through their GSA contract # GS07F5566P.
