B.E. Meyers & Co. Inc. Releases New 249-Saker Flash Hider with SilencerCo
January 19, 2015 (Redmond, WA) – B.E. Meyers & Co. Inc. has released their new 249-Saker Flash Hider, providing the same patented design features of their original 249 flash hider, now compatible with the SilencerCo Saker series of sound suppressors.
“We approached SilencerCo a year ago to talk about a redesign to our classic 249. We felt that they were providing the best systems on the market and that they were innovating and evolving at an impressive pace.” said Matt Meyers, Director of Marketing and Business Development. “The SilencerCo team has been terrific to work with and we are excited to be able to promote their products by offering a compatible B.E. Meyers flash hider.”
B.E. Meyers designed the original versions of their flash hider in the 1990s (5.56mm, 7.62mm, and .50BMG) exclusively for SWCC, and then later on provided them to other US and international military customers. Only recently did they team with WeaponOutfitters.com to launch the top-rated 249 commercially, which has been a terrific success.
The design incorporates the four-pronged flash hider structure with patented asymmetric tines and interior expansion grooves that B.E. Meyers & Co. Inc. is known for. At 2.65” OAL, the 249-Saker is slightly shorter than its predecessor and has the SilencerCo MAAD mounting system integrated in the base. Additionally, the new flash hider has the same Melonite finish as the revised version of the 249.
The 249-Saker will be available through WeaponOutfitters.com as well as other B.E. Meyers online and storefront retailers in February of 2015.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Jan. 19, 2015 – Today GLOCK, Inc. announced the release of the new GLOCK Modular Optic System (MOS). The MOS platform was designed by GLOCK engineers to enable users to mount their preferred reflex sights to their pistol in order to improve their target acquisition. The Gen4 models G34, G35, and G41 will now be available in the new MOS platform. Coming soon is GLOCK 40 Gen4 in MOS Configuration – the long slide pistol is intended for 10mm enthusiasts as well as handgun hunters.
“Our research has prompted us to release the MOS configurations for the G34 Gen4, G35 Gen4 and G41 Gen4 and the new G40 Gen4 in the MOS Configuration.” stated Josh Dorsey, VP at GLOCK, Inc. “The new GLOCK MOS platform offers a convenient way to mount reflex sights without costly alterations to a warrantied slide.”
The MOS models include an Adapter Plate Kit containing 4 adapter plates as well as the tools for the removal and installation for a variety of optics. Optics are not included with the MOS pistols.
The specifications for the Gen4 MOS configured G34, G35, and G41 are the same as their respective non-MOS versions.
The MOS configured G34 Gen4, G35 Gen4, and G41 Gen4, will be unveiled at the GLOCK booth (#12254) during the SHOT Show, January 20-23, 2015, at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Shipments of the product will begin following the show.
I figure I have to share a camouflage pattern that has a variant named “KinkyPink.”
To be fair, they’ve also got pattern variants that use actual earth tones such as Sage.
The secret is in the Stone Premiere pattern, while different colorways are created by swapping out the base color. That’s how you get different versions like you see above. Like the name suggests, Ston takes its pattern cues from rocks and terrain features you’d see in the mountains.
I hear that Jane Fonda wants to open a dialogue with Viet Nam Veterans. In July of 1972 “Hanoi Jane” Fonda visited America’s enemy, North Viet Nam in their capitol city of Hanoi. She yucked it up with the locals and manned this anti-aircraft gun not far from the infamous Hoa Lò Prison, known colloquially to the American captives as the “Hanoi Hilton” where they were tortured and demeaned. Those brave men were forced to provide propaganda for the Communist regime but Ms Fonda offered it up with a smile.
That isn’t all of Jane Fonda’s transgressions. She also made other propaganda for the Communist North Viet Namese including this radio broadcast. To add insult to injury, she called our returning POWs liars that hasn’t been tortured.
Jane Fonda’s conscience is now getting the best of her in her old age and she wants to “open a dialogue with Viet Name Veterans.” I hope those men never forget her traitorous acts. I was just a little kid when these events transpired and really learned about their implications as I grew older, but I’ll never forget.
With the advent of the M3 magazine, Magpul decided to give you any color of magazine you wanted, as long as it was Black. Since then, they’ve been working on their materials and with this new Sand color, they are introducing a new material solution that will hold up to the rigors of use with firearms. Not only is it stronger than the current Black material but it can also be dyed to other colors or even distinctive designs and camouflage patterns.
SAND
SINCE THE INTRODUCTION OF THE GEN M3 LINE OF PMAGS, THERE HAS BEEN A RECURRING THEME IN REQUESTS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS, AND THAT HAS BEEN A CALL FOR COLOR OPTIONS. UNTIL NOW, THE GEN M3 LINE HAS BEEN MANUFACTURED ONLY IN BLACK. WE’VE BEEN QUIETLY WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES ON SOME THINGS, AND WE’RE FINALLY READY TO SHARE ONE OF THOSE WITH THE WORLD.
We’re introducing a new color to our line. This color, officially named “Sand”, is as much an overall material development as it is a color development. “Sand” is a light, “non-black” color that closely matches some of the lighter tones in popular military camouflage patterns as well as many environments on the current battlefield. In addition to being less significant in the IR spectrum and ideal for many desert environments, this new material has several other meaningful benefits.
STRENGTH
This new Sand colored material shares many of the properties and components of our latest black material. Endurance, reliability, chemical resistance, stability, and other parameters are exactly the same. The main difference, due to some proprietary developments in composition, is strength. The GEN M3 AR/M4 PMAG is extremely resilient in black. However, as tough as our basic black material is, the Sand material is even stronger. We’ve seen very significant increases in feed lip drop and other rough handling tests from -60F to 180F—to an extent that it made our initial results hard to believe. Similar proportional increases in the other magazines in our line have been seen in our testing. With this increase in drop strength, we still see the resiliency that makes the PMAG what it is—Feed geometry does not change, unlike metal or softer polymer magazines—and so reliable feeding is not affected by this punishment.
ADDITIONAL COLORS
In addition to its physical properties, the color of the Sand material was chosen for another reason. It serves as a perfect foundation for water-based dye processes to change the color of the material or add camouflage patterns without adding surface thickness or scratching off with use. You can see some of the results of a few minutes with common RIT dye and cellophane wrap in the inset photo. If paint is the desired method of camouflage, “Sand” forms a great basis for this also. Dyed magazines can serve as the base for additional paint pattern options.
Expect to see the new “Sand” material making its way through our magazine line very quickly. We’ll have some video tutorials about using dye and paint to change the appearance of this material coming soon.
Check out this new magazine color as well as the entire line of Magpul products on their newly updated website.
