After speaking with Leupold at AUSA, I realized that a lot of folks don’t understand that the Mk 5HD is actually a better optic than the Extremely popular Mk 6, in spite of the model number being lower. Apparently, there’s a lot of misconception over the naming convention.
In this case, the higher number doesn’t designate superiority, but rather describes the erector array. The Mk 6 is a six time erector, while the Mk 5 is a five time erector.
Additionally, the front focal plane Mk 5 is relatively new, having just been introduced about a year ago. It’s newer than the Mk6.
The Mk 5 is a 3.6-18×44 optic that is just over 12″ long and has a 35mm tube, while the older Mark 6 is a comparable 3-18×44 scope but is just under 12″ and has a 34mm tube. There is also a 5-25×56 variant of the Mk 5HD.
Featuring the all-new M5C3 ZeroLock adjustments, the elevation dials deliver 30 mils of travel, a full extra 10mm of travel thanks to the three full turns. The scope also comes with a built in throw lever and fast focus adjustable eyepiece.
Below is a side by side comparison of the two optics.
There are several reticle available.
Additionally, the lens surfaces are treated with DiamondCoat 2, an ion-assist lens coating which is actually optimized for higher light transmission.
And by the way, the Mk5 not only offers all of that, it’s also less expensive. So, it’s lighter, has more adjustment, a couple of extra features, and is less expensive. It may well be the best optic Leupold has ever built.

DELRAY BEACH, Florida – (NOVEMBER 14, 2018) – Century Arms, America’s leading AK manufacturer and importer of classic firearms, is saddened to learn of a recent event at a factory of one of the company’s sourcing partners in Cugir, Romania. This factory produced a number of firearms imported by Century Arms including the popular WASR rifles and Micro Draco pistols.
While the company has a small quantity in stock, future delivery status of these products is uncertain.
We support our Romanian partners in this tragic loss and time of need.

Founders Edition and Early Adopter Specials
Truly Original
The revolutionary new mechanism is unlike any other charging handle on the market.
We are pleased to receive U.S. Utility Patent No. 9964371, 9810494, 9587896.
No Weak Roll Pins
Even the best-designed products fail at their weakest point and we have taken the infamous roll pins out of the equation. The RACK™ was designed with no roll pins.
Smooth Sliding Latch
Not another pivoting mechanism to wear out the upper receiver notch, this patented latch system slides parallel with the receiver notch for slick and quick release and simultaneously minimizes wear.
Asymmetric Charging
Purpose built with asymmetric use in mind, the RACK™ will handle left or right side pulls with ease. Regardless of your charging handle racking technique, the RACK™ will perform with consistent and positive assurance.
Monolithic Modular Handle
Machined from one single piece of aluminum, the RACK™ handle was designed with strength in mind.
It is also key to the sliding latch and the positive and balanced pull of the charging handle.

The RACK™ is designed and engineered in the United States.
It is precision CNC machined from billet 7075 T6 Aircraft Grade Aluminum in our brand-new manufacturing facility in Henderson, Nevada.

SCW-9 Key Design Elements
• Fully ambidextrous controls, including magazine release, safety selector, charging handle and bolt catch and release
• Accepts GLOCK® 9mm magazines
• 4” barrel with 3-lug adapter for sound suppression
• Ability to fire UTM marking and training rounds
• Overall length collapsed: 14.7”
• Collapsed stock length: 2.5”
• Weight: 4 lbs
• Rate of Fire (approximate): 1,100 rounds per minute
The Shortest Sub Compact Stock System
In addition to 9mm, the shortened stock system developed for the SCW-9 has been tested in both 5.56 NATO and .300 AAC Blackout calibers. This allows any M4 style rifle to reduce its overall collapsed stock length from 7” to just 2.5”. Making it the shortest telescoping AR-15 stock system available.
Angstadt Arms has plans to offer the shortened stock system to other manufacturers who wish to incorporate it into their firearms. A pistol brace version of the shortened stock system is currently in development for the U.S. commercial market.

For immediate release – St. Cloud, MN – Maxim Defense today announced that it has begun shipping its newly designed M-RAX™ attachment system. With the M-RAX attachment system, installation and removal of Picatinny M-Slot Rail Sections is a breeze. Thanks to its spring-loaded screws, the M-RAX™ system removes mounting frustrations and protects from screws protruding beyond traditional M-Slot mounting systems. Merely push the screw in with a standard hex tool and rotate 90 degrees. The locking lugs engage that easily. Gone are the days of fighting with screws, aligning nuts dealing with messy liquid adhesives to create friction. Just push, turn, and tighten down for a secure mounting surface.
Unlike the traditional M-Slot mounting systems, M-RAX™ utilizes the full slot of your rail, ultimately maximizing valuable handguard space. This makes the M-RAX™ system end-to-end stackable, giving you the option to create seamless monolithic rail sections where needed.
The Patent Pending spring-loaded universal interface system eliminates the need to adjust the gap between the T-Nut and accessory to match the thickness of the mounting surface. Just use the supplied hex key (our your own 3/26” key) to push the spring-loaded hardware through the M-slot, twist 90 degrees to engage, release tension and then tighten normally.
M-RAX™ Picatinny Rail Sections are available in both Black and FDE with the following configurations.
Length/weight:
2 • M-Slot (3.145”) / 1.54oz
3 • M-Slot (4.720”) / 2.31oz
4 • M-Slot (6.295”) / 3.09oz
5 • M-Slot (7.870”) / 3.87oz
6 • M-Slot (9.445”) / 4.62oz
The M-RAX™ attachment system is available for licensing and sold throughout Maxim’s dealer network.
