SIONICS has released additional details on the carbines that they will be providing to the City of Atlanta Police Department.

The rifles feature several standard options offered by SIONICS to any of their customers like Centurion Arms C4 Rails, B5 SOPMOD Bravo Stocks, the SIONICS Enhanced Trigger, and their NP3 BCG.

Now Shipping: Magpul MOE SL-K Stock

Magpul knows the way to my heart. The newest addition to the MOE SL line, the MOE SL-K Stock, takes many of the solid features of the MOE SL Stock and shrinks them down into a compact, sub 8 ounce package. Lightweight lovers take note. This is a lot of stock for a low cost in ounces.

Aimpoint Launches New AR-ready Micro Sights

Aimpoint is now offering their T-2 and H-2 that come with installed AR height QD mounts. These are ready to mount on your AR-15 right out of the box and provide an absolute co-witness. I have used the LRP mounts that are included with these sights and can attest to the fact that they are very solid mounts.

From Aimpoint:

Chantilly, VA – December 15, 2015– Aimpoint has announced the addition of a new line of pre-mounted Micro T-2 and Micro H-2 sights, that are immediately ready for use on AR-15 and M4 Carbine style rifles.

These sights come equipped with Aimpoint’s Lever Release Picatinny (LRP) Mount, and a 39mm spacer that provides absolute co-witness with backup iron sights on AR15 and M4 Carbine style rifles. The rail pressure on the LRP is fully adjustable, and the mount allows return-to-zero replacement if the sight is removed and replaced in the same position on the same rifle.  The 39mm spacer can be removed in order to lower the optical axis of the sight for use on shotguns or submachineguns.

Geissele Automatics Trigger Fitting Pin

The Geissele Automatics Trigger Fitting Pin is one of those tools that I could live without but I am glad I don’t have to. I have several decent sets of punches but I still fin myself reaching for the Trigger Fitting Pin frequently.

Most punches have squared edges on the pushing end and a barrel shaped handle. They are mostly designed for use with a hammer to drive pins. The Trigger Fitting Pin is different in that it has a chamfered end which helps it fit and align easily. It has a plastic ball grip rather than a barrel shaped grip. The ball grip allows you to hold it a number of ways but the magic happens when you palm the grip to really put some force into pushing pins.

The Trigger Fitting Pin is sized to fit AR-15 trigger pins precisely. It can be used to push the hammer pin past a stubborn j-spring or as a slave pin for when you are assembling your fire control group. I also use it to push pins on Glock, 1911s, 10-22s, and more. It is sturdy enough to hold up to a light tap or two from a mallet but I have generally avoided anything more than that to prevent the end from mushrooming.

This sits in the top compartment of my tool cart because I am constantly reaching for it. Check out the Geissele Automatics Trigger Fitting Pin.
