The BRN-180 is the latest product from Brownells’ Retro line. It’s an upper receiver group designed for use with AR-15-style lowers but use the piston operating system from the AR-180, including the reciprocating side charging handle.
Naturally, this means that it doesn’t require the AR’s action spring and buffer to function, making use of a folding stock a cinch.
It features an original 3-prong flash hider, M-LOK handguard and a barrel with 223 Wylde chamber and 1/8 twist.
Shipping on April, the Force-On-Force Mandible from Ops-Core incorporates a removable mesh neck skirt. Additionally, the mandible itself connects via the ARC rail and is adjustable fire and aft as well as up and down.
It stops up to the 7.62 UTM round at 375 FPS but you’ll still feel the hit.
The Laser Early Warning Detection System is one of those technologies that is going to save lives. In fact, it was developed by Attollo Engineering from their OMNir technology at the direction of Air Force Research Labs because of a friendly fire incident in Afghanistan where a US aircraft mistakenly bombed US troops.
LEWDS is lightweight and mounts to the top of the helmet or other equipment. It uses a common CR123A battery.
It offers a haptic alert (user programmable) if it is lased with 1064 & 1550nm energy which is generated by:
– Low Eye-safe military laser rangefinders (LRFs) used for precision target locating
– Low frequency gimbal-mounted LRFs
– High frequency handheld LRFs
– PRF-coded Laser Target Markers (LTMs) used for handoff to laser designator systems
– PRF-coded Laser Target Designators
(LTDs) used for guiding laser guided bombs
In addition to direct targeting LEWDS also detects “Danger Close” illumination and is designed to reject false alarms.
LEWDS does not need to be fielded to all. Because it detects Laser energy generated from above, Terminal Attack Controllers and small unit leaders are the best use of the device as they are most likely to have contact with Close Air Support aircraft to alert them they are placing friendly troops in danger.
LEWDS is available from www.quanticotactical.com.

Don’t forget that these items are available in the outdoor line as well, so don’t feel constrained by the colors you see here.
Fountain Valley, CA—SureFire, LLC, manufacturer of the world’s finest — and most innovative —illumination tools and tactical products, is proud to announce the new SureFire Stiletto Pro!
More powerful than the standard Stiletto, the Stiletto Pro is a high-output flashlight with a slim profile that fits comfortably in any pocket, and can be drawn and activated with ease. Optimized by SureFire’s proprietary MaxVision Beam® reflector, the Stiletto Pro’s 1,000 lumens of smooth, well-rounded light in high-output mode are easily accessed by the body’s primary switch or tactical tail switch; the latter also activates an optional high-frequency strobe that is useful for blinding an attacker. Like the Stiletto, the Stiletto Pro also features a 250-lumen medium output and a 5-lumen low output, giving it the versatility to handle a wide variety of tasks, and the primary switch can be programmed to reverse the activation sequence. A rechargeable lithium polymer battery and included MICRO-USB cable charger make it easy to keep the Stiletto Pro powered up, and its Melonite-coated, reversible heavy-duty spring steel pocket clip keeps the light secure and accessible whether you prefer to store it with the bezel up or down.
Machined from Mil-Spec hard-anodized aluminum for tremendous durability, the SureFire Stiletto Pro is one tough, pint-sized powerhouse.
