Faxon Firearms Adds New Caliber

The ARAK-21 Upper Receiver from Faxon Firearms is currently available in 2 calibers: 5.56 and .300BLK. However, a new caliber is about to join the stable.

Faxon has been teasing the new caliber on their Facebook Page and it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to figure out that it is 7.62×39. It seem fitting that an AR upper that draws so much inspiration from the AK-47 would be offered with a 7.62×39 chambering!

New M4E1 Upper Option at Aero Precision

Aero Precision just introduced a new M4E1 upper receiver option. This is their first non-NFA/non-pistol M4E1 upper available. It sports a 16″ midlength barrel and their 15″ EK-15 KeyMod Handguard.

I have one of their M4E1 uppers in hand for review and I can confirm that it is a very slick system. It is more than rigid enough to properly support a 15″ handguard and assembly is a snap. Stay tuned for the full review.

This new upper is available at the introductory price of $350 which is a solid price for an upper, especially an upper with a well sorted out rail system. Check it out at Aero Precision.

High Tower Armory 10/22 Magazine Coupler

HTA1022MC-2

High Tower Armory’s Magazine Coupler is pretty darn slick. It allows you to attach two of Ruger’s ubiquitous BX-1 magazines together without the user of glue like man other couplers. HTA’s coupler uses a clamp that is secured with a small Allen screw. If you ever need to uncouple the magazines in the field, the Allen Key actually rides on-board, tucked away for convenience.

Whiskey Two-Four FASTmag Covers

Whiskey Two-Four can help you turn this…

Into this…

They have been making covers for FazMag, a similar paintball magazine carrier, for some time now so it makes sense that they adapt their design to the FASTmag. The one-piece design wraps around the FASTmag and is retained by the FASTmag’s MOLLE straps. The covers are very thin so they add very little bulk. WTF is currently showing these in PenCott GreenZone only but I suspect other colors will be available soon.

REFT Leather Wing Holster from RE Factor Tactical and BlackPoint Tactical

RE Factor Tactical is now offering a branded version of the BlackPoint Tactical Leather Wing Holster. While many companies offer some form of leather/kydex hybrid inside-the-waistband holster, far fewer offer hybrid outside-the-waistband options like this one. I have not personally used the Leather Wing but I know two shooters who do and both speak VERY highly of it.
