US PALM is One Big Tease

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

US Primary Armament Logistical Manufacturing is the new powerhouse behind bringing the AK 30 magazine to market. Why are they a tease? Because their new website won’t be up until the 2nd of April. As you saw in a recent report, they are delving into soft goods with the AK Attack Rack (AKAR). But apparently they’ve got even more tricks up their sleeve. They have teamed with Gabe Suarez to release the Defender, a new plate carrier with soft armor inserts. Designed to be simple yet functional, it also features three dedicated AK mag pouches on the chest with a MOLLE compatible rear panel and waist strap.

A note on the soft armor. Due to NIJ 06 standards, the inserts are ineligible for a rating as they do not have enough square inches of coverage to properly test. However, they are manufactured to stop a IIIa (.44 mag) threat.

If you love AKs then US PALM is for you. Be sure to visit www.uspalm.com on the 2nd of April for the full scoop.

US PALM AK30 Magazine Now Available

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Scottsdale Gun Club has just added the AK30 magazine from US PALM to their website. The name is pretty self-explanatory. It is a 30 round polymer magazine for the 7.62 x 39 AK family of weapons. The five sided box design eliminates a removable floor plate found on other magazines. The AK30 has a unique low-friction semi-floating follower that is slotted to allow for easy magazine cleaning and hassle-free maintenance. It can be cleaned with simple soap and water and dry material flows free through the vented follower design. The chromium-silicon spring that is heat treated, stress relieved and Mil-Spec corrosion resistant coated so cleanings or exposure to the elements won’t result in rust. Life expectancy for this spring is 100,000+ cycles. The AK30’s locking surfaces are reinforced by a stainless steel cage that has been molded into the entire top of the magazine. Additionally, the front and rear of the magazine integrate a serrated surface and the flat sides are molded in a waffle pattern. Another interesting feature is the angle on the toe of the AK30 making it possible to use a vertical fore grip. Available in Black and Flat Dark Earth from sgcusa.com.

If you need a way to carry your new mags in style you might want to check out the AK Attack Rack (AKAR). It holds 4 AK30 magazines (or similar) as well as 4 pistol magazine which will also accommodate most high-cap pistol magazines, a folding knife, mini-gas canister, or similar sized items. Additional mags can be stored in the hidden universal pocket. Berry compliant and manufactured from Cordura and ITW buckles the AKAR is offered in Black, Coyote, Khaki, and MultiCam.
