S&S Precision Developed the Sling Clip to enhance the versatility of the sling. Designed to work with a 1″ sling, the Sling Clip allows you to quickly reconfigure a single point sling into a two point mode for movement. Kyle Defoor does a great job of explaining how it works as well as the benefits.

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.
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.
It seems like just the other day that McNett announced the addition of two new camo patterns to their lineup of Camo Form® Protective Camouflage Wrap. No sooner than we tell you about it and they inform us that they will now also offer MultiCam. This is great news for guys using OCP downrange.
Remington just released this ad for the 870 Modular Combat Shotgun which features a user-configurable stock and barrel system. Check out the retention system. It’s made by Blade Tech specifically for the 870 MCS.
The Danger Close 620v Millennium Adapter for the SureFire Low Pro Scout Light Mount is now available from Grey Group. It gives you the clearance you need for the 620v dual output head.
Yesterday, LTC Shawn Lucas (right in the photo above) assumed the charter for Program Manager Individual Weapons from LTC Chris Lehner who had held the position since September, 2008. LTC Lucas comes to his new position with a wealth of small arms experience having served as a Systems Coordinator for Small Arms and most recently as a Program Analyst for Soldier/Maneuver Systems in the Army G-8, Program Analysis and Evaluation Directorate.
A change of charter is akin to a change of command in a troop unit. The ceremony was officiated by COL Scott Armstrong, Project Manager Soldier Weapons, (left in the photo above). Earlier this month, COL Armstrong assumed the charter of PM Soldier Weapons from COL Douglas Tamilio. This is an exciting time to be working in Army small arms with dual pathed strategies for improvements to the existing M4 carbine as well as the search for an entirely new Individual Carbine.
Congratulations!
We’ve mentioned McNett Corp’s Camo Form® Protective Camouflage Wrap on several occasions. While it is very popular with the hunting crowd, it also does a great job for those who want to camouflage their military and LE small arms. The addition of Realtree APâ„¢ and Realtree Max-4â„¢ add even more options to the tool box so that you can fine tune your weapon’s or equipment’s camouflage. Remember, Camo Form not only helps conceal your gear, it also protects your weapon’s finish as well as eliminates errant noises by padding parts. It’s self-clinging and easy to apply. What’s more, it isn’t permanent and won’t mar the finish of your kit.
