TNVC MURLM
Monday, January 26th, 2009
The Multi-Use Rail and Light Mount (MURLM) from Tactical Night Vision Company was designed to integrate a mini red dot (MRD) and a flashlight into a single mount.
TNVC used the following design guidelines when developing the MURLM.
1. To eliminate the “chin welds†of MRD’s mounted high at the 12 o’clock positions and enable the shooter to
maintain a low profile and a solid platform especially while shooting on the move.
2. To offset an MRD at an optimum angle that would only require a very small rifle cant or “look-over†while
maintaining the same cheek weld and could also be used while employing a gas mask. (Specifically the M53).
3. Combine this mounting solution with a lightweight flashlight to avoid separate mounts on a weapon.
4. The flashlight portion of the mount needed to be offset for VG wrap-around activation and also incorporate a very
fast and strong QD system that a user could hand hold light weight lights (i.e. G2’s) and/or attach and remove a
light from the weapon in very short order.
5. The ring system of the light needed to be low profile to transition to a hand hold fighting light if needed that was
easily removed from the weapon.
The MURLM mounts to any Mil Std 1913 rail via a hex screw hard mounting solution which includes a recoil lug for maintaining zero of any optic mounted. 1†variable sized low profile light ring with a proprietary quick detach system. This system uses a small tab release system that releases light from the front of the MURLM.
We took a look at the mount at SHOT Show and it is fantastic. Many other attendees were able to get a hands on feel for the MURLM in the Aimpoint booth where it sported a T-1.
The MURLM is available directly from TVNC. They also have some great deals on packages including Sure Fire lights and Aimpoint T-1s.

Magpul Dynamics Unveils New Sling at SHOT
Friday, January 23rd, 2009
In addition to Magpul’s veritable plethora of upcoming black rifle accouterments, Magpul Dynamics debuted their new Ambidextrous Sling Adapter Plate (ASAP) and Multi Mission Sling System (MS2).
The ASAP is an innovative sling plate that allows the sling to swivel a full 270 degrees to facilitate transitions from right to left hand.
The MS2 is an adaptable sling that can be used as a single or two point point sling. It features an innovative buckle to quickly facilitate the conversion. The MS2 attaches to the ASAP with a snap shackle and the new buckle connects to a ring on the sling for single point carry or to a forthcoming rail mounted sling attachment point for a two point style.
Available soon from Magpul.
SHOT Show Day 4
Monday, January 19th, 2009ITW Tactical Products
ITW has added yet another color to their product line. The new color is Sand (middle) and joins Foliage Green and Tan.
Ares Defense Systems, Inc.
The shape of things to come? The Modular Sporting Rifle prototype may be just the thing if threatened weapon bans are enacted. Designed to fit any AR-15 style upper receiver, the MSR looks as if an M4 mated with an 870. It certainly hides some of those menacing “assault weapon” features such as pistol grips, collapsible stocks, and external mag wells. When combined with a flat top upper, you can barely tell the rifle is a black rifle.
Rocky Boots
From Rocky’s civilian line comes the Broadhead designed for bow hunting. I took one look at these lightweight stalkers and knew that their would be tactical interest. So did the duty wear division of Rocky and they plan on offering them as a cross over piece this summer.
Crimson Trace
Laser grip manufacturers Crimson Trace unveiled their new MVF-515 foregrip for the M-16 family. Designed to attach to a Mil Std 1913 rail, the MVF-515 combines a vertical foregrip, laser and light into one package. Dual pressure switches allow the shooter to choose laser, white light, or combination. Modes include constant on, momentary or strobe.

Friday, January 16th, 2009
Blackheart International has just announced the creation of their custom shop and one of their newest products is the Blackheart Bolt Gun. The weapon features a custom receiver mated to a Krieger cut rifle barrel that is threaded with a unique thread designed to more effectively seize the receiver/barrel joint.
Additionally, The Blackheart Actions are chambered in 1 of 4 custom Blackheart calibers:

In addition to the weapon itself, BHI is offering the stock system as an upgrade to existing precision rifles. The barrel shroud is removable for maintenance and accommodates the installation of specialized accessories via optional 1913 Mil Std rails. Additionally, the stock folds for ease of transportation yet provides a rock solid platform for precision shooting and is fully adjustable for length of pull and cheek height by the shooter. Finally, to maximize flexibility, both the pistol grip and butt stock are interchangeable with any M16/M4 compatible furniture.
Be sure to visit Blackheart at SHOT Show Booth number 9448. The calendar girls will be on hand the rest of the show to sign autographs.
