Shellback Tactical has a slick, new Android app. The app lets you view pictures of their gear, watch product videos, check out Shellback Tactical’s Facebook and Twitter pages, and you can even shop for gear right from your phone. I especially like the “new products” feature that shows you the most recently added products to the Shellback Tactical website.

Several years ago, I stepped on a fiber-glass tent pole section and broke it while I was setting up a tent. I tried contacting the manufacturer but never heard back from them. The tent sat uselessly in the closet until I came across TentPole Technologies.
TentPole Technologies makes it easy to order replacement aluminum and fiberglass tent poles. They can help you replace an entire rod or just sections. I just needed a replacement section so I measured the broken part and ordered a single piece of fiberglass rod that was cut to my specification. It couldn’t have been easier or more painless.
Bullpup Shoot 2012 was the perfect place for Steyr Arms and PJS Investements Company to publicly make known that the AUG is back in the US market and they did it in a big way. They had several AUGs on hand in a variety of configurations.
The AUG will have a receiver that is manufactured by Vltor in the USA.
These CQC AUG A3 rifles will be available through PJS Investments Company. They feature quick detach, extended length rails that really round out the package. This configuration will cost about $250 more than a standard AUG A3.
This is another view of the CQC AUG A3.
The AUG A3 is available with a NATO lower that accepts AR-15 magazines. This could be ideal for those you have tons of AR mags on hand already.
Rat Worx USA has some very cool items on display including their AUG specific SPX Suppressor. They also set up an epic shooting bay with plenty of full-auto fun to be had with proceeds going to the Wounded Warrior Project.
This suppressor is designed specifically for the AUG and MSAR rifles. It traps the gas from the AUG’s external gas porting. This effectively deals with the main reason why suppressed AUGs are louder than other rifles when suppressed. I heard these in action and they are extremely impressive.
This close up shows the roll mark on the new Rat Worx suppressor.
AUG and MSAR parts can be difficult to find at times. Rat Worx designed a bolt that utilizes standard AR-15 ejectors and extractors.
This AUG trigger group utilizes standard AR-15 fire control parts.

More full-auto fun.
Desert Tactical Arms (DTA) makes magazine fed, precision bolt action rifles in bullpup format. Given the tremendous ballistic advantage that longer barrels offer, the bullpup format makes a lot of sense for precision rifles. Basically, Desert Tactical Arms gives precision shooters the same ballistics that are possible with the fence post-like precision rifles that they are used to but in a much more compact package.
They offer three chassis that are available in a variety of calibers – the SRS, SRS Covert, and the HTI. The SRS is their standard chassis that is available in calibers like .308, .260 Remington, 7mm Winchester Short Mag, and more. The SRS Covert is a shorter (16″ and 18″ barrels) version of the SRS that is extremely compact at just 29.5″ long or shorter. The HTI is designed to handle larger calibers like .50 BMG and .408 CheyTac.
The DTA lineup: HTI, SRS, and SRS Covert. The bottom rifle in the picture, an SRS chambered in .308 was awarded to the top finisher in Sunday’s Bullpup Competition Shoot.
DTA also makes ammo which was being consumed voraciously by their rifles over the course of the weekend.
It was obvious to everyone in the area when this HTI was touched off on the firing line.
Eric took a turn on the HTI.
The DTA rifle chassis, like this SRS, make it extremely easy to mount slings, laser, lights, bipods, and other accessories with their free-floated railed fore ends.
Calibers can be swapped in seconds by loosening 4 screws and a key on the opposite side of the rifle.
The bolt knob is large and easy to operate.
Removing the butt plate allows the bolt to be removed out the back of the action to complete a caliber swap or regular maintenance.
