CMC Suppressor Optimized Enhanced BCG: AR15 6mm ARC Bolt Carrier Group Nitride Finish Mil Spec

June 8th, 2020

Fort Worth, Texas: CMC Triggers, the original manufacturer of the AR Drop-in Trigger Group since 2003, today announced the release of the CMC Triggers Suppressor Optimized Enhanced Bolt Carrier Group for the New Hornady 6mm ARC is designed for shooters who demand superior performance weapon components in the heart of their firearm. CMC Triggers manufactures the highest quality firearms components in the industry.

Carrier Assembly: The flared rear of the enhanced bolt carrier is designed to reduce carrier tilt/cant during recoil and increasing reliability by strategically relocating key bearing surfaces.

The CMC enhanced carrier has fewer points of contact resulting in less friction area and the increase in mass ensures proper gas pressures and increases dwell time, thus improving extraction while shooting suppressed or short-barreled rifles (SBRs)

• Case-hardened 8620 steel (complete care is taken during the heat treat process, so as to not harm the metal)
• 3 forward ports, enlarged to allow over pressure to escape
• Optimized for suppressor use
• Black Nitride Finish
• 4130 Steel, attached with Grade 8 hardware, torqued and properly staked into a milled “valley” around a fully encased ejection port area, for added strength and rigidity
• Hardened 4340 cam pin
• Fully chamfered cam pin channel
• Mil Spec firing pin made of AISI 8740 steel, center-less ground and Hard Chrome coated

Bolt Assembly: The Bolt is “true” Mil Spec dimension and external surfaces are CNC ground after heat treat for a precision fit. The bolt is machined to the 6mm ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge) Hornady factory round spec. These bolts are held to the highest possible tolerance possible. Outside critical dimensions held to .0005”. The “trumpet” area behind the gas rings, where carbon normally collects, is precision CNC Ground after heat treatment, to ensure as smooth of an area as possible, easing clean up, and longevity.

• 9310 Case Hardened Steel
• All Bolt components Shot Peened & Black Nitride coated.
• 4340 Steel, Manganese Phosphate coated.
• Magnetic Particle Inspected(MPI) and High Pressure Tested (HPT)
• Black Nitride low friction coating.
• Mil Spec Billet Extractor Spring & CRANE O-Ring Upgrade.
• 6mm ARC Advanced Rifle Cartridge from Hornady Bolt. 6ARC Specific

BLACK NITRIDE is a process commonly referred to anonymously with SBN (Salt bath nitride) and sometimes QPQ (quench polish quench). All of these are a form of nitrocarburizing which is a chemical hardening of steel in short.

Black Nitride Finish Benefits
• Increased wear resistance
• Improved fatigue strength
• Exceptional lubricity and low friction coefficient
• Withstand corrosion per ASTM spec B117
• Improved lubricity
• Enhanced cosmetic appeal
• Better corrosion protection at equivalent or lower costs than hard chrome nickel plating

The New 6mm ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge) from Hornady is a game changer in the AR15 world. Allowing AR15 configured rifles chambered in the 6ARC to reach out to 1000 Yards with ease. The 6mm ARC 108gr boasts and exceptional G1 .536 Ballistic Coefficient.

Like all CMC Trigger’s products, this is exceptionally well made, much more durable than the standard Mil Spec AR15 BCG, and includes CMC’s Satisfaction Guarantee and Lifetime Warranty.

CMC AR-15 6mm ARC BCG’s are shipping now to dealers and distributors across the country and are expected to move quickly. Anyone interested in acquiring their own CMC AR-15 6mm ARC BCG should act now and contact their local dealer.

HORIBA MIRA Gears Up for New Defence Power Standard Following £350k Testing Capability Investment

June 8th, 2020

As a business committed to keeping a seat firmly at the helm of industry changes, HORIBA MIRA has invested £350k in a new power accreditation test service and Electrical Power Laboratory – providing defence industry customers with a first-of-its-kind validation solution in readiness for the new Def Stan 61-005.

The recently released new Def Stan 61-005 Part 06 (issue 7) – which applies to electrical power supply systems in vehicles for Ministry of Defence use – has been comprehensively updated to reflect the latest industry requirements and governance of power distribution systems for both current and future military vehicles.

Ahead of the changes, recent months have seen HORIBA MIRA, an established provider of vehicle verification and validation solutions, make significant investment in the development of a bespoke Def Stan 61-005 Electrical Power Laboratory at its Nuneaton headquarters – creating the UK market’s most sophisticated testing ground for customers seeking to ensure compliance with the new standard.

The cutting edge facility includes the addition of two new 100 amp transient generators – the first in the UK – enabling the HORIBA MIRA team to far surpass standard 30 amp test conditions and assess vehicles against extraordinarily high currents of up to 100 amp.

With the continued evolution towards complex electric and hybrid military vehicles requiring high power supplies, HORIBA MIRA is not only providing a market-first solution to Def Stan 61-005 compliance, but playing an integral role in supporting the industry to meet the evolving validation challenges associated with the increasing power demands of modern defence and commercial vehicles.

Mark Emery, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Technical Manager at HORIBA MIRA, said: “As a business, we pride ourselves on staying one step ahead when it comes to our ever-changing industry, working to meet our customers’ future requirements today.

“As such, we have placed significant investment in the development of our new power accreditation service and laboratory, with the aim of ensuring our customers have access to the most sophisticated solution first, when it comes to ensuring compliance with the new Def Stan 61-005.

“This is an incredibly exciting development for HORIBA MIRA. Not only will it help to ensure a seamless transition towards this complex new standard for customers, but it marks a major step forward for increased power generation test method capability here in the UK.”

Mark added: “Inherently, military vehicles are energy-intensive, with a myriad of power-intensive electronics required to perform different mission applications. But as the rate of innovation and applications continues to grow, including the movement towards electric and hybrid options, the energy demand of such vehicles continues to escalate – placing greater onus on the power accreditation validation methods behind it.

“In this way, our new facility will play a fundamental role in helping both existing and new military customers to perform the vital testing needed to meet current and future vehicle standards in the years to come.”

The new offer will form part of HORIBA MIRA’s vast EMC division which will continue to support Def Stan 59-411 and MIL-STD 461.

With military test programmes often taking place over several months or years, customers utilising HORIBA MIRA’s unique expertise are also able to take advantage of secure workshops and facilities, associated office spaces and IT networks that are fully accredited by the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) as part of MIRA Technology Park.

Sea To Summit – Ascent Down Sleeping Bags

June 7th, 2020

Insulated with ULTRA-DRY Down 750+ for performance in wet weather, the Ascent offers extra room between hips and knees and a mixture of vertical and horizontal baffles in the chest area to help prevent compression and clumping of the insulation.

Their triple-zipper Free-Flow Zip system offers separate zippers on your left (full length) and right side (half length) and in the foot box. Open them for ventilation or to turn the Ascent into a fully-flat comforter.

What’s more, the Ascent can be connected to the Women’s Altitude, Journey and Venture sleeping bags, in both Regular and Long lengths because they all have the same side zipper length.

Offered in 25 F, 15 F and 0 F models in regular and long lengths. But don’t let those ratings fool you. There’s a lot of venting like we mentioned earlier, offering increased versatility in marker weather.

Here are their recommended uses:

– 2.5 Season: 25°F (comfort range 25°F to 70°F)

– 3 Season: 15°F (comfort range 15°F to 65°F)

SCUBAPRO SUNDAY – The Battle of Normandy 6 June thru 29 August

June 7th, 2020

When most people think of Normandy, they think about the invasion on 6 June, and leave it there. But the Battle of Normandy did not end until 29 August when the last German troops crossed the Seine river. The Allies had estimated the casualties on D-day could be as many as 40,000, but they were far fewer – around 10,000. Even on Omaha Beach, the Allies lost about 842 dead. But it could have been a lot worse. German casualty numbers on D-Day are not as precise, but estimates put them at a similar amount. By the end of the battle, the Allies would have over 2,850,000 soldiers on the ground in Europe.

Overlord was the code name for the invasion. The first six weeks had come to a stalemate, an operation on 18 July by the U.K. forces known as GOODWILL did advance them about 10 square miles, but it came at the cost of over 5500 Allies casualties, and about 400 tanks lost. The Germany losses were about 100 tanks and about 200 people captured. It is conceded by many the biggest tank battle fought by the U.K.

General Bradley’s idea was named Operation Cobra, and it was put into motion on 10 July. It started with the carpet bombing of a 4-mile-long line in front of the Germans along the U.S. lines. As soon as the bombs were dropped, the U.S. 2nd and 3rd Armored Divisions would punch a hole through the German defenders and finally break out of the peninsula.

As the Allied forces advanced in all directions, the German divisions tried desperately to reorganize. Patton’s 3rd Army advanced towards the east of France during the weeks that follow, only being slowed down because they were outrunning their supply of fuel and ammo. Now the Allies could pursue the Germans into the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.

This battle would set the tone for the rest of the war, Germany lost about one battalion worth of man a week to death and injury as they retreated about 50,000 German soldiers. They also had approximately 200,000 men captured. The Allies lost more than 36,000 soldiers, and the fighting had also affected civilians living in Normandy; about 20,000 people killed, and around 300,000 homes destroyed.

Overall, the Normandy campaign was one of the most brutal of the war. The combined average daily casualty rate on each of the 77 days of the battle was 6,675: higher than the Somme, Passchendaele, and Verdun in the First World War. The Battle of Normandy was a decisive first step in the liberation of Europe.

###I want to add a note about the number and dates I have used for this article. You can ready about this campaign, and you will get different numbers and dates, depending on who wrote it and when. To this day, the numbers are still changing.
