Rainier Arms RUC Mod2

By on January 10, 2014 in Guns

The Rainier Arms Urban Carbine or RUC was already a flyweight at just 6 pounds 10 ounces in weight. Then Rainier Arms put the RUC on a weight loss program and managed to shed 10 ounces. The result is RUC Mod2.

I like my AR-15’s to be as light as possible as long as it doesn’t affect performance. While some lightweight ARs game the scale by using lightened competition parts like bolt carriers and buffers, the RUC Mod still has everything you expect in a hard use AR-15 like an M16 carrier and H buffer. It even has a 15″ free float hand guard and still only weighs 6 pounds!

Barrel Specs:

  • 16”(Mid) or 18”(Rifle) M249 Chrome
  • Lined Machine Gun Barrel
  • 1-7 twist 5.56 NATO Spec Chamber
  • Pinned RA Match Low Pro gas block
  • Rainier Arms Compensator (RAC™)

Upper Specs:

  • RA Forged A4 flat top upper
  • 15” RA Force™ Key Mod Rail
  • RA Raptor™ Ambi Charging Handle
  • RA MPI/HP Bolt w/ staked FA carrier

Lower Specs:

  • RA Forged Lower
  • Mil-Spec 6 Pos. extension w/ H Buffer
  • Mission First Tactical Minimalist Stock
  • Mission First Tactical Engage Grip

Quality Tuned Mil Spec Trigger

  •  B.A.D. Ambidextrous Safety Selector
  •  Quick Detach End plate

Additional Accessories:

  • 30 Round magazine where legal
  • RA Patriot Hard Case

[crotchety old man] You kids don’t have to work at anything anymore! Back in my day, we had to really plan and work hard to build a 6 pound AR-15! Now, thanks to Rainier Arms, you can have one delivered to your FFL with a few mouse clicks and key strokes. [/crotchety old man]

DRD Tactical G762 Semi-Auto Rifle

By on January 9, 2014 in Guns

The new DRD Tactical G762 Semi-Auto Rifle has my attention for several reasons but one really stands out. It takes HK G3 magazines – as in high quality, readily available, surplus steel, less than $4 a piece HK G3 magazines. Like its P762 forerunner, it can be broken down/reassembled without tools and carried in a compact hard case or backpack.

DRD G762

This press release regarding the new G762 comes to me by way of Defense Marketing Group:

automatic rifle chambered in 7.62 NATO, which can be assembled from its hard-case or back-pack without any tools, in less than a minute.

CLEER Medical

By on January 9, 2014 in EDC, Survival

CLEER MedicalWhen Raven Concealment Systems and Eleven 10 announce that they are joining forces to create a new medical supply manufacturer, it grabs my attention. They have already collaborated in the past on a low-vise medical kit (see Soldier Systems Daily) and I expect we will be seeing other slick kit rolling out of CLEER soon.

Vertx Apparel Signs Design Agreement with Fighter Design

By on January 9, 2014 in EDC, Tactical Gear

Jesse at PredatorBDU first turned me on to the Fighter Design’s innovative offerings. It is no surprise to see them teaming up with other innovators like Vertx.

Vertx Fighter Design

From Vertx:

Vertx Apparel Signs Design Agreement with Fighter Design

Vertx Apparel, the tactical brand and innovation design arm of Fechheimer Brothers, is proud to announce they have signed a licensing agreement with Fighter Design of Austin, TX. This new partnership will allow Vertx to incorporate Fighter Design’s proprietary Airflow Technology into new models of the world’s best tactical pant.

“Fighter Design’s ‘Airflow Tech’ has been on my radar for a while now,” says Vertx Director of Sales Darrell Morrow. “As an apparel feature there’s nothing else like it. It’s proven to keep you cool. Adding it as a feature option to Vertx tactical pants is frankly just an awesome evolution.”

Fighter Design’s Airflow Technology has already garnered well-deserved attention for shooters, athletes and operators who must work in high temperatures. It’s an aggressive, well designed system that utilizes extremely tough mesh material in strategic locations like the inseam of the pant legs and cargo pocket interiors to create a cooling flow of air into the pants.

“We’re very excited to be working with Vertx on this,” says Fighter Design’s Adam Slank. “They’re an amazing company and we’re all big fans of the Vertx brand. Of all the brands in the market, we really wanted to work with Vertx. People just need to try the new pants in order to feel the airflow for themselves. Some things need to be experienced.”

Though the partnership is a young one, an initial project will be debuted at the NSSF SHOT Show, Booth #126. This will take the form of a limited run of ‘Phantom Ops Powered by Airflow.’ Note that a small number of these pants will be available for preorder at the Vertx booth and on line—and doing so may very well guarantee participation in some otherwise invite-only after-business-hours Vertx SHOT Show events.
