Sunday, January 15th, 2012And They Said It Would Never Happen
Sunday, January 15th, 2012
H&K USA is releasing the gas-piston, MR556A1 upper assembly to the market. Ever since a limited number of HK416 upper receivers showed up for sale on internet websites several years ago, fans have hoped that they would make the MR556A1 upper available for general sale and its finally happened.
The upper receiver kit will include a barreled flat top upper, Free Floating Rail System handguard, bolt carrier assembly, buffer, and buffer spring. The bolt carrier assembly, buffer, and buffer spring are all different than standard US Mil Spec items.
Fortunately, the MR556A1 features the same take down pin geometry as US Mil Spec Carbines so you will be able to plug it right in. Some variants of the civilian model do not share this feature.
Since it’s an upper, you can purchase the assembly as a part to attach to your existing gun so you won’t need ATF approval. However, make sure you are sitting down when you read this next part. The MSRP is reportedly $2195.

Sig Sauer Adaptive Carbine Platform
Tuesday, January 10th, 2012
Sig Sauer is unveiling their new Adaptive Carbine Platform at SHOT Show. It provides three advantages. It will accept virtually any pistol with a Mil Std 1913 rail without modification, it offers the increased stability of shooting a carbine and it expands the pistol’s adaptability by incorporating 1913 rails at the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions as well as a full-length rail along the top of the weapon.
It is offered in three models:
Basic Adaptive Carbine Platform (I think the name is going to be an issue, since it’s still just a pistol at this point)
ACP – Enhanced Platform with Red Dot Sight and Sling
ACP – LE Platform with Stock
As you can see from the photo and video they have integrated a handstop into the design to help protect those wandering fingers. Additionally, the ACP LE accepts a wire stock and features a single sling attachment point on the Enhanced and LE models.
To me, the most interesting thing about the ACP is that although it is marketed by Sig Sauer, it accepts virtually any pistol with a 1913 rail, regardless of make. I’m sure you will find some that don’t fit but the point of the exercise isn’t to find some obscure gun that nobody carries so you can say, “Told you so.” Of course, the ACP with stock will make your pistol an NFA gun, so it isn’t for everybody but I could see its use as a PDW with LE and security contractors in certain situations. And for those who can own one, it looks like a lot of fun.
Be sure to check it out at booth #12240.

A Few More Magpul Surprises for 2012
Monday, January 9th, 2012It seems that some Magpul promotional materials made their way onto the information superhighway over the weekend (these are from a handout, the actual catalog isn’t available yet). As you can see, the Magpul PMAG 30 M3 Maglevel combines compatibility with both US Mil-Spec and NATO STANAG magwells into a single magazine. Additionally, there is a Maglink designed to connect two of the new magazines together, although my favorite seems to be the new XTM Hand Stop. The AFG never quite fit me right.
