Now Shipping: Magpul Hunter X-22 Stock – Ruger 10/22

One of the most exciting bits of news to come out of last year was Magpul’s intention to push into so many firearm markets beyond the AR-15. They announced Remington 700 stocks, AKM furniture, Glock magazines, and the Hunter X-22 Stock for the Ruger 10/22. Those items have been coming to market steadily and the latest to hit is the Hunter X-22 Stock.

If you are a shooter, you should have at least one Ruger 10/22 and if you have at least one 10/22, you know that many stocks available for the 10/22 don’t even come with provisions for a sling let alone the ability to mount lights and other useful accessories. The Hunter X-22 Stock is set to change that. It features an integral rear sling attachment point and plenty of M-LOK slots in the fore end that will make attaching a sling, light, and anything else you want a breeze.

The stock also features adjust comb height and length of pull. It’s grip is similar to those found on the excellent Magpul shotgun stocks. It also features a removable barrel channel insert that can be used with standard tapered barrel profiles or flipped over for use with bull barrels.

This stock is packed full of typically solid Magpul ideas. Check out the Hunter X-22 Stock at Magpul.

Exos Defense Accuracy Stock Support

The new Accuracy Stock Support from Exos Defense is now available. This part is designed to be used in conjunction with their excellent TI-7 buttstock. The TI-7 is a good choice for precision AR-15s thanks to its solid lock up on the receiver extension and enhanced cheek weld. Now, with the addition of the Accuracy Stock Support, it has a clubfoot style rear gripping area for front supported shooting and a flat spot design to settle into a rear bag.

Dueck Defense Red Dot Adapter

The new Dueck Defense Red Dot Adapter (RDA) is a compact mount that bolts directly to your Dueck Defense RTS rear sight. It allows you to attach your Micro Aimpoint or compatible red dot in such a way that it achieves a lower 1/3 co-witness with the RTS sights.

It should be noted that this is designed to be used with the generation 2 versions of the RTS sights. To determine if your RTS rear sight is compatible with the RDA, check to see if the holes on the leading face of your rear sight are threaded. If they are threaded it will accept the new RDA.

Check out the RDA at Dueck Defense.

ALG Defense 6 Second Mount for RMR

ALG Defense released a sneak peek of their upcoming 6 Second Mount for the Trijicon RMR. The images show a rapid prototype of the mount. It is similar in design to the current Aimpoint Micro compatible version with the obvious difference of accepting the RMR. The optic platform is also noticeably more compact and biased further forward which could clear more of the rear of slide for manipulations.

Check out our recent review of the 6 Second Mount and visit ALG Defense’s website for more information.

MI Introduces New Gen3 M-Series Hand Guards

Midwest Industries has released details of the new third generation of their popular one piece free float hand guards. The new hand guards carry over many features from the previous version and also add several improvements.

Like previous versions, they are very slim (1.5″ OD) and lightweight (see weights listed in image below). The new barrel nut has more aggressive knurling and does not need to be timed. The clamp mechanism that secures the rail to the barrel nut now uses an insert (patent pending “Torque Plate”). Other manufacturers like SLR Rifleworks use inserts to prevent over-tightening but MI’s Torque Plate does more than that. According to MI, the Torque Plate has several functions:

  1. It prevents over-tightening by limited the amount the hand guard can be compressed on the barrel nut.
  2. It engages the upper receiver to prevent rotation.
  3. It engages the back of the barrel nut to prevent the hand guard from moving forward on the nut.
  4. It aligns the hand guard during installation.

They are available in both KeyMod and M-LOK in 5 different lengths (see below).
