Special Operations Instructors Learning to Forge with RMJ Tactical

What do the hardened men of 1st Special Warfare Training Group (Airborne) do to relax and unwind? They beat steel with a hammer until it does their bidding… with a little help from RMJ Tactical. RMJ Tactical forges some of the most sought after tactical tomahawks in the world so they are perfectly qualified to help 1st SWTG(A) learn a thing or two about forging steel.

There is just something extremely fitting and poetic about these men who have been forged themselves into an elite fighting force, learning to forge steel into weapons.

NSN Issued for the Blue Force Gear VCAS

The Blue Force Gear VCAS (Vickers Combat Applications Sling) already dominates my gun safe and now it is moving toward world domination. Blue Force Gear has been awarded a NSN (1005-01-604-0627) for the VCAS and they are understandably excited.

From the Blue Force Gear press release…

During combat trials in Afghanistan in 2011, U.S. Marines validated the VCAS™ as the issue sling for their new M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle as delivered by Heckler & Koch. These slings will join over 100,000 other Blue Force Gear slings already in use across every branch of service. The USMC has also fully authorized this sling for use on M4, M4A1 and M16 series rifles and Blue Force Gear offers attachments to connect the VCAS to these weapons as well as other internationally produced small arms.

LaRue Tactical A-PEG Grip

The AR-15/AR-10 platform is capable of exhibiting extreme accuracy and is becoming more and more popular as a dedicated precision weapon. There may be no more precise ARs than those made by LaRue Tactical so it should come as no surprise that they are now offering a precision oriented grip for the AR.

The new A-PEG Grip from LaRue Tactical has a number of options that the end user can choose from. It is available in numerous colors including LaRue’s own UDE color scheme. The A-PEG is available with rough or smooth texture. It can be purchased for both the AR-15 and AR-10.

A lot of work went into the ergonomic design of this grip. LaRue states:

Inspired by the human hand, the unique “flats” on the front and back fall more naturally onto the geometry of the hand’s structure. The flat front also provides indexing to help level and square the firearm to the target. A sculptured palm swell on either side fits nicely into the hollows of the palm. A gentle taper helps seat the hand towards the firearm, and helps to keep the hand from sliding. The generous texture added to the sides gives just the right amount of traction in slippery conditions.

You can check out the A-PEG Grip at LaRue Tactical.

New BCM Mid-Length Carbine Video

The latest video from BCM is attention worthy for a number of reasons. It contains a very succinct and interesting history of the carbine as a service weapon in the USA that is narrated by 2 of the men who know how to get the most out of it – Pat Rogers and Travis Haley. It also contains an allusion to an upcoming BCM Compensator that already has the industry buzzing.

GearScout was able to capture some very clear images of the new BCM Comp that are worth checking out.
