Overall Length: 8 13/16″
Blade Thickness: 0.154″
Thickness: 0.5″
Blade Steel: CPM S35VN

SHOT Show 17 – Leupold Introduces New Mk 8 Variant
January 31st, 2017The Leupold Mk 8 is one of the most popular optics on the market. However, it’s expensive and not everyone requires the scope’s illuminated reticle, so Leupold came out with this new model to make it available to more shooters.
It’s still a 3.5-25×56 with Mk 8 construction. They’ve added low-profile M5C2 ZeroLock adjustments and a non-illuminated front focal plane reticle.
SHOT Show 17 – Adams Industries DTNVG
January 31st, 2017Adams Industries exhibited their Dual Tube Night Vision Goggles featuring tubes by ACT.
Aside from veey clear night vision, the tubes also automatically turn off when they are flipped up to the carriage position.
Adams Industries offers multiple versions of this technology including government, commercial, export, white phosphorous, color and WFOV models. The Camo tape is available in multiple patterns.

SHOT Show 17 – Hazard 4 Frazetta Licensed Products

At SHOT Show I found out that Hazard 4 recently signed a licensing agreement with Frazetta Jr. Enterprise to produce products based on Frank Frazetta’s legendary art. Their first product is a 3D morale patch depicting the iconic Death Dealer which has long been the symbol of the US Army’s III Corps.
Available now in Black, Coyote and OD Green.

SHOT Show 17 – Mystery Ranch Flash Bang Pouches
January 30th, 2017Many people don’t know that Mystery Ranch makes SOCOM issued Flash Bang pouches. Both sizes are PALS compatible and the flaps can be tucked behind the grenade.
There’s the Flash Bang above and the Triple Bang below. Yes, it’s often referred to in the field as the “gang bang”.
SHOT Show 17 – FN 16 Tactical II Pro Series
January 30th, 2017I was told by a little bird to stop by the FN America booth and take a look at the select fire ARs. Sure enough, my trip was rewarded with the FN 16 Tactical II Pro. This one had an 11.5″ barrel but as I understand it, there will be 10.3″, 11.5″, 12.5″, 14.5″, 14.5″ pinned, 16″ and 18″ hammer forged barrels featuring a 1/7 twist and the Hodge barrel profile. Oh yeah, did I mention that the Pro was developed in conjunction with Hodge Defense Systems?
FN has incorporated the SureFire WarComp.
You’ll notice the Hodge MLok handguard with FN badging, Magpul grip and stock along with oversized Bolt Catch.
The thing about the Pro series carbines is that they are being offered as COTS options for government customers, but I’m hoping to see them offered commercially soon, as well.
