Surefire G2X Saves the Day

This story was carried on my local news yesterday. If you aren’t carrying a flashlight daily, this might convince you. You never know how or when you’ll need your flashlight…

Early yesterday, a Washington man had a road wash out underneath his vehicle due to the flooding in the area. He was able to use his flashlight, a Surefire G2X, as he extricated himself from his vehicle and climbed back up onto the roadway in the dark. Once he was on the roadway, he was able to use the light to warn other drivers about the now dangerously washed out road surface. His simple act of preparedness, carrying a light, may have played a role in saving his life and potentially the lives of other motorists.

See the story at KHQ News (Spokane).

Superstition Mountain Mystery 3 Gun Match Raffle

Founded in 1996 and now in its’ 22nd year, the annual Superstition Mountain Mystery 3 Gun (SMM3G) ranks as one of the longest running and most prestigious 3-Gun matches in the USA. As one of the first “Outlaw Matches”, SMM3G helped to blaze the trail and develop what modern 3 gun has become today. Held at the Rio Salado Sportsman’s Club in Mesa, Arizona, SMM3G offers a unique blend of shooting challenges using rifle, shotgun and pistol encompassing close in, ultra-fast paper targets and flying shotgun clays through to precision rifle shots up to 500 yards. Combined with imaginative props and stage designs and a Prize Table that is one of the biggest in the country, it is little wonder why SMM3G ranks so highly on many 3 gunner’s “must do” list and is a sell out year after year.

One of the traditions of SMM3G is it’s annual raffle. Proceeds from the raffle are used to help fund the Match for the following year to enable the purchase of items such as paper and steel targets, tape and clays through to the building of new props for the various stages.

As a non-profit organization, every dollar earned by SMM3G through the generosity of Sponsors, Match fees and proceeds from the raffle goes back to our shooters, whether it be items for the prize table, construction of new props or purchase of targets, tape and clays. SMM3G is truly a match by shooters for shooters.

For 2017, KE Arms is proud to supply the raffle guns for SMM3G.  This year we are taking the raffle to the national level by offering tickets available for purchase on the KE Arms Website:

Create Your Own Custom Vickers Sling!

I just spent way too long playing with Blue Force Gear’s new Custom Vickers Sling creation tool! This is too cool.

Want a Wolf Grey/Kryptek Typhon VCAS with QD Swivels? You can do that.

Want an all Multicam sling with a Safety Orange Pull Tab? It can be done!

Blue Force Gear’s new Custom Vickers Sling creation tool lets you customize every component and material on the sling all the way down to the sling hardware. You can even choose between regular or sewn-in sling attachment hardware. All of the options appear in a rendering at the top of the screen as you add them to your sling so you can see what it will look like before you get it in your grubby mitts.

Go have some fun with the Custom Vickers Sling creator at BlueForceGear.com.

You Don’t Have to Go Nuts to Shave Weight on an AR-15 – SIONICS Lightweight Patrol Rifles

If you want to build an AR-15 under 5 pounds, you are going to have to get a little creative and it’s going to cost you. However, you don’t have to start skeletonizing things that shouldn’t be skeletonized or using exotic materials to build a rifle that will still carry light and function reliably.

SIONICS recently posted a picture of one of their Patrol Three Rifles on a scale. It weighs in at a scant 6.1 pounds with top quality, standard parts and in a ready to shoot configuration (with sights).

How do they do it? Did they flute the bolt carrier or use aluminum where you should use steel? Nope. This rifle still has a proper M16 BCG and other reliable, full weight parts. They just make use of a smart barrel profile and quality, lightweight hand guard. Those are the same places you should start when shedding weight. Or… Just check out a Patrol Three at SIONICS.
