LAS VEGAS, NV – FM-922US Fire control group, for AK/RPK based rifles, for stamped receiver, includes trigger, hammer, disconnector, disconnector spring, stopper, and sleeve, semi-auto, double stage, US made, FIME Group LLC
FIME Group has spent over a year engineering our new 2-stage trigger. It is an American made mil-spec trigger. It comes completely assembled and it delivers a drop-in construction. It was produced with mil-spec ratings on the steel, hardening, and has a black oxide protective coating. This trigger was created to perform if you were in combat, competition shooting, training, or plinking on the range. While others try to reverse engineer the trigger, we work directly from country of origin. FIME Group design delivers a shorten trigger pull with a light trigger pull. The disconnector’s face makes a full contact with the hammer to provide a secure lockup. The disconnector’s tail touches with the rear receiver rivet and the hammer retarder eliminates the transfer of energy called “trigger slap” which can be experienced from inferior products. We won’t make compromises on quality yet it is being offered at a price point to match all others.

Echo Valley, WV – Ridgeline Outfitters is excited to announce that registration is open for their upcoming Scoped Carbine Course, held September 16-17th in Echo Valley, WV.
The two-day course is designed to teach the shooter how to seamlessly transition from close range engagements to longer-range precision fires – with targets ranging from 0-300+m out.
Students attending a Ridgeline course are exposed to a unique group of instructors with a combination of over 50 years of Sniper and Special Operations experience. With a curriculum specializing in today’s demanding needs for Civilian, Law Enforcement and Military training, the team is dedicated to delivering only the best products and training to everyone who comes through the course.
Each student attending a Ridgeline Scoped Carbine course will walk away with an understanding of rifle setup, fitting and maintenance and angular units of measure. Throughout the course, shooters will become proficient in the implementation of range estimation, wind reading and alternate positions using both environmental and artificial supports – all components in maximizing the capabilities of the platform.
“Most Scoped Carbine or SPR courses, even the ones in the Military, aren’t much more than watered down precision rifle courses,” stated Ridgeline President, Alex Hartmann. “Students are going to leave this class with appreciation of the capability in the system.”
Ridgeline is solving the common shooter’s problem that they never get to push their AR to distance. As students will learn, Ridgeline is a one-stop shop for training, equipment and an unparalleled experience in application and detail.
Cost to participate in the Ridgeline Scoped Carbine Course is $350. Further information for the course can be found at www.ridgelineshooting.com.
MARINE CORPS BASE QUANTICO, Virginia —
Grunts know a good ruck frame has got to last. That’s why a project team at Marine Corps Systems Command has developed a more durable pack frame; one that will better support the U.S. Marine Corps Pack that has been fielded to the operating forces since 2011.
The operational force will soon begin receiving a stronger, more durable pack frame designed to endure extreme temperatures, as well as wear and tear. The reinforced U.S. Marine Corps Pack Frame provides the same form, fit and function as the current frame, with stronger materials for both horizontal and vertical load-bearing support. These improvements were made in response to feedback from Marines who reported pack frame failures in extreme cold weather environment. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Bryan Nygaard)
The reinforced U.S. Marine Corps Pack Frame provides the same form, fit and function as the legacy frame, but with stronger materials for both horizontal and vertical load-bearing support.
“At Marine Corps Systems Command we continually monitor progress and work to identify new ways to increase performance and durability of the pack system,” said Capt. Jolanta Krempin, a project officer for Infantry Combat Equipment. “The Marine is at the center of everything we do and their feedback is always considered with acute interest regarding acquisition programs and capabilities.”
The acquisition command first learned of pack frames issues back in 2013, when Marines from School of Infantry-West noted a small number of frames were breaking. The program office proactively began rigorous laboratory testing on a reinforced pack frame, and then tested it with Recon units to assess its durability during airborne operations. Results were positive, said a program official.
Additional legacy pack frame breakages were reported during the winter of 2015 and 2016, as Marines participated in cold weather training at the Mountain Warfare Training Center in California, and coalition exercises in Norway. According to feedback from Marines, there were issues with legacy pack frames becoming brittle and snapping.
To assess the reinforced frame’s durability in arctic environments, MCSC flew in a half a dozen program officials last winter, who handed out dozens of reinforced frame prototypes to members of a unit deployed to Norway.
“We took the feedback we got and used it to inform how we could best reinforce the pack frame, while avoiding substantial weight increase or changes in fit and form,” said Mackie Jordan, ICE engineer.
Currently, MCSC is conducting additional environmental and field testing for a more comprehensive evaluation of the reinforced frame’s performance in extreme-cold temperatures. Testing will also investigate other causes of the legacy frame’s failures to mitigate potential issues with the reinforced frame.
“The reinforced frame is being tested in both constant cold temperature environments, as well as changing temperature environments,” said Jordan. “Future testing may include hot-to-cold/cold-to-hot testing to simulate rapid temperature changes during jump operations.”
During testing, frames will be subjected to an extreme cold temperature of 0° +/- 2° Fahrenheit for a period of one week. For each test, the frame will, at a minimum, be assessed for cracking, fatigue, or stress marks and cracking noises during flexibility testing.
Fielding of the reinforced frames is planned to begin in fiscal year 2018. Over time, as legacy frames meet a to-be-determined “expiration date,” they will be replaced with the reinforced frames, eliminating issues related to aging.
