NRAAM 25 – Magpul UCS

April 27th, 2025

Of the many new products announced by Magpul during this year’s NRA Annual Meeting, the new Universal Carbine Stock caught my eye, which is intended to be used with a vertical M-1913 stock mounting rail.

To accommodate the wide variety of charging handles styles and configuration, ejection port location, and control placement, the UCS features a reversible hinge for left and right folding configurations, and five degrees of drop for clearance (most stocks feature less of a drop, which doesn’t work for all firearms). The UCS stock also ships with two reversible cheek risers (0.50”, and 0.75”), and when combined with the reversible M1913 clamp (allowing for a 1/2-slot height adjustment along the rear rail for increased comb height flexibility), the shooter can dial in head placement for an optimal sight picture using iron sights or optics. The stock also gives shooters thee (3) inches of length of pull (LOP) adjustment across six (6) positions – which can be adjusted via the LOP buttons – the stock fits any shooter, with and without armor or other bulky equipment, and only adds about 18 ounces to a firearm without a stock. Just like the stock itself, the UCS’s sling attachment point is an anti-rotational QD socket that’s reversible. Last but not least, the stock is compatible with MOE SL and DT Butt-Pads, so you have options, there, too.

UCS Features:

-Six position, push-button adjustable LOP (3” total adjustment)

-Reversible folding mechanism

-Toolless removable and reversible cheek risers included (0.5” and 0.75”)

-5° drop angle for charging handle and ejection port clearance

-Reversible M1913 clamp for ½-slot height adjustment

-Reversible anti-rotation QD Socket

-Weighs just over 18 ounces

NRAAM 25 – Waffen Tactical

April 27th, 2025

Waffen Tactical offers Vektor, a bespoke Anti-Mirage / Thermal Reduction Modular Handguard Technology.

They build each Vektor system individually, based upon your rifle and suppressor and have closed and open systems.

The system is capable of moving 50 cubic feet of air per minute. Although not intended for full-auto fire, the result is that you won’t need to use a glove while firing with a suppressor and more importantly, Vektor removes the mirage above the barrel.

The system uses a rechargeable 16850 battery with three hours of operation on high and six hours on the low setting.

They’ve just set the website up and are populating products. You can also check out facebook.com/61574852052835

HunterSeven – Cancer Screening at SOF Week

April 27th, 2025

MILITARY VETERANS – HAVE YOU SIGNED UP FOR CANCER SCREENING? Time is running out cause slots are filling up!

We’ve gotten many questions lately—“Are you guys going to SOF Week this year?”

And the answer is: Absolutely.

But we’re doing it our way.

This year, we’re flipping the script.

Instead of getting tangled in the red tape, we’re staying laser-focused on what matters most:

PREVENTING AS MANY PREVENTABLE CANCER DEATHS AS POSSIBLE.

You’ll find us down by the waterfront alongside our excellent partners— Crye, Arc’teryx, and a lineup of other badass companies—where we’ll be spreading the word about health promotion, early cancer detection, and what it means to take care of our own.

But the real magic? Wednesday night.

That’s when it all comes together.

At the DuckCancer Happy Hour—hosted and sponsored by: Black Rifle Coffee – Crye Precision – Arc’teryx – We will be running on-site blood-based cancer screenings for at-risk post-9/11 military veterans, right in the middle of the action!

We’re talking great people, amazing raffles, tactical ducks, and literal lives being saved in real-time.

Spots for screening are extremely limited, so if you’re a post-9/11 veteran—or you know one—don’t wait.

Let’s party with a purpose and keep pushing forward in the fight against cancer.

Modern AFE Capabilities Coming to Cannon DRACO Fleet

April 27th, 2025

CANNON AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. —

The Steadfast Line continues to adapt for relevancy, most recently with the U-28A Draco fleet adopting new aircrew flight equipment (AFE) in the near future at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico.

The M69 Joint Service Aircrew Mask (JSAM) replaces the Mask Breath Unit-19P Aircrew Eye and Respiratory Protection assembly and is designed to provide ocular and respiratory protection from Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear hazards.

“This new mask allows improved mobility and enhanced protection,” said an AFE specialist assigned to the 27th Special Operation Wing. “The reliability of this new equipment will be critical for our U-28A crews if they find themselves operating in a contested environment.”

The JSAM is already in service on other non-ejection seat, fixed-wing aircraft, including the MC-130J Commando II and AC-130J Ghostrider fleets at Cannon AFB. Once approved for use on the U-28A, the JSAM will join the growing ensemble of next-generation AFE available to the Draco community. This includes the Viking Suit, which improves survivability of aircrew members if they ever are forced to egress in maritime environments, and the Skull Mounting System, which aligns headgear with night vision goggles and other accessories.

“This new protective equipment will enable our U-28 crews to be prepared for tomorrow, adapting for relevancy,” said Col. Robert Johnston, 27th Special Operations Wing commander. “We must maintain our competitive advantage, and this new mask is one more way we are staying ready.”

Air Commandos lead the way in delivering innovation – it’s in our DNA.

The rechargeable battery packs charge within 2.5 hours via an included USB-C cord or an optional bank charger. Run times range from 60 minutes using the SL-B9 battery packs to 90 minutes using disposable batteries.

The new light has customizable rear switches (standard or extended) to the left and right of the trigger guard for ambidextrous operation and to match shooting preferences. The new model provides momentary and constant-on operation and includes a user-activated strobe. It also features a hinged face cap with robust release controls that allow for front-loaded battery changes without removing the light from the firearm.

Fabricated from 6000 series machined aluminum with a black anodized finish, the TLR-1 HP-X USB/TLR-1 HP-X has a switch housing made from impact- and chemical-resistant engineering polymer. The new light weighs 5.43 ounces using two SL-B9 batteries and 5.20 ounces with two CR123A batteries. It measures 3.70 inches long.
