By on September 29, 2015 in EDC, Guns, Tactical Gear

Magpul is shipping two new products as of today.

magpul core covers

Their new Magpul CORE Cover is a fitted ballcap style cover that is constructed from mesh. I have really come to favor as much mesh as possible in a cap to make it easier to wear during shooting, exercising, and other active pursuits.

Their PMAG 25 M118 LR/SR 7.62 Magazines are now available in their Sand polymer. If you have an AR308, it is nice to have at least a few of these 25 round magazines. While they are heavier, they are long enough to be used as a monopod when shooting from the prone and that can be a useful marksmanship aid.

From Daniel Defense:

The Daniel Defense MK12 and V11 are now being offered in the Kryptek Typhon finish. The MK12 features an 18-inch stainless steel barrel and rifle length gas system while the V11 comes standard with a 16-inch Chrome Moly Vanadium Steel barrel and mid-length gas system. The water-transfer printing process (also known as hydro-graphics) of this finish makes for a durable, uniform coating that holds up to and resists even the harshest environments.

Kryptek utilizes a multi-directional design to effectively conceal in a multitude of terrains that have lateral or vertical flows. The bi-level layering of the patterns incorporates background transitional shading and sharp random geometrical foregrounds to create a three-dimensional effect, ensuring the utmost in concealment at both close and long ranges. These components, combined with colorations selected and matched based on input from testing and observations from operators in the field, make Kryptek patterns optimal for many different situations

Gunstruction September 2015 User’s Choice Build

By on September 29, 2015 in Guns

I always look forward to Gunstruction’s monthly User’s Choice Build. Gunstruction is an expansive and powerful virtual rifle building application that lets users explore weight, price, and aesthetics before they ever purchase a single part. The User’s Choice Build represents a combination of the most selected parts in each category by Gunstruction users.

These builds are always interesting. They often end up being an interesting blend of trendy or exotic parts and affordable parts. Some parts are classics that end up being among the most popular every month (like the Magpul MOE Plus Grip and CTR Stock). What is perhaps most amazing, is that this unintentional design-by-committee approach usually works and the resulting AR-15 is always something that most guys would be glad to add to their safe.

Check out Gunstruction’s September User’s Choice Build and start your own build while you are there.

Gear Sector’s new GSR Free Float Tubes and Free Float Rails are now available.

The GSR Free Float Tube features slick sides and a continuous top rail. It’s hole patterns allows users to attach accessory rail sections.
