Magpul B.A.D. Lever

August 22nd, 2009

You’ve seen the Magpul Dynamics crew rocking the Battery Assist Device (B.A.D.) in training classes and on their training videos and it’s finally up on the Magpul website. The BAD has been greatly anticipated and has spawned several similar products from small shops and enthusiasts who couldn’t wait for the Magpul product to be released. Well, it’s here now, so you can get the original.

In a nutshell, the BAD allows you to manipulate the bolt catch by extending a paddle to the right side of the weapon into the trigger guard area. The simple design features a thin, anti-snag profile and textured surface that also allows for traditional manipulation of the bolt catch. The BAD is optimized for use with milspec forged upper and lower receivers, but is also compatible with the HK 416, VLTOR VIS/MUR, LaRue Stealth, and many other billet upper and lower receivers.

As with all Magpul products it is manufactured from high quality materials; in this case 6061-T6 aluminum with mil-spec finishing.

Check it out at www.magpul.com

NOTE: The BAD is not compatible with the SR-25, AR-10, or other 7.62 caliber AR platforms.

NVG Mount Lights

August 22nd, 2009

According to Ops-Core, several companies are working on lights designed to attach directly to a helmet’s NVG mount. None of the lights are quite ready for prime-time but we were able to sneak a picture of one example at the recent ADS Warrior Expo.

FASTmag Flap

August 21st, 2009

CPGear by Wheelers has just launched the FASTmag Flap. Designed to fit the PALS version of the Gen III FASTmag, the Flap gives you some extra piece of mind when the FASTmag is mounted upside down or other similar instances. The Flap folds out of the way when not required. There is also PALS compatible webbing on the front of the FASTmag flap to facilitate the attachment of additional modular pouches.

The FASTmag Flap is available in CADPAT-AR, CADPAT-TW, Coyote Brown, Multicam, UCP, Olive, and Black. To order visit CPGear.

IR Reflective Symbology Patches

August 21st, 2009

S.O. Tech has taken their tactical symbology system to the next level with the IR Reflective Patches. Unveiled at TREXPO East, IRRP is a small IR reflective patch that attaches via hook and pile tape to clothing and equipment to mark personnel or contents. Each IRRP is emblazoned with one of the tactical symbols created by S.O. Tech for use by military during micro mission planning at the Company and below level or for scene and incidence control during LE operations. These symbols have been adapted for use beyond just chits on a map and can now be used to identify an individual person’s equipment or for more generic use to designate roles for both equipment and personnel. They are small enough to be discrete yet the IR feature makes them useful day or night, in virtually any environment.

The IRRP reflects IR energy to quickly ID your Mission Pack System or other tactical items in low light or black out conditions.

To order visit S.O. Tech and follow the directions.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: For security reasons, tactical IR reflective symbology is only available to Law Enforcement & Military with proper documentation.

Source One and ViaGlobal Group Form Alliance

August 20th, 2009

ViaGlobal, LLC, a tailored training and leadership organization supporting the United States military and United States Government, and Source One Distributors, Inc. recently confirmed a teaming arrangement that will allow both companies to provide additional enhanced goods and services to the United States Armed Forces. Source One is well known to our readers for its participation in the Special Operational Equipment Tailored Logistics Support program and ViaGlobal most recently was awarded a contract to manage and operate the King Abdullah II Special Operations Training Center near Amman, Jordan.

The $200 million KASOTC facility is situated in a 1,235-acre quarry and the compound consists of fully equipped grenade ranges, a 100-meter rifle and pistol range, and a 300-meter rifle range. An eight-story structure for climbing, rappelling, and distance shooting serves as a centerpiece of the facility. There is also a full-scale A-300 Airbus fuselage for aircraft training, and a close-quarters battle (CQB) house with a three-story armored facility and adjoining five-story tower that provides room-to-room combat practice using live fire.

â€œWe are very excited to work with ViaGlobal,â€ said Source One President & CEO, Mark Llano. â€œFrom our time spent with them at KASOTC we knew that we were getting a teaming partner that was committed to doing everything possible to support our troops in the field.â€

The relationship is a win-win for both companies. Leveraging ViaGlobal’s knowledge base of former military and government leaders, as well as their network of contacts in the industry, Source One will not only gain a competitive edge in the marketplace but also be able to expand its already vast customer base. Alternatively, utilizing Source One’s award winning distribution capabilities and procurement vehicles, ViaGlobal will be able to significantly grow the range of products and services they offer to the warfighter.
