Arken Optics has introduced its new EP-4 Series optics. These optics have a very solid feature set for their asking price. Features include: ED glass, 34mm tubes, 100 click per revolution target turrets, MIL/MIL reticle and turrets (MOA versions coming later), side parallax adjustment, and a very functional reticle.
The series includes a 6-24×50 and a 4-14×50. The 4-16×50 is surprisingly compact for a scope in that magnification range.
The Magpul Bipod – Sling Stud QD is the next offering in the Magpul bipod line. Able to mount on the Uncle Mike’s® Sling Swivel Stud that’s common to nearly every sporting rifle made, the Magpul Bipod – Sling Stud QD is the strongest, most fully featured bipod available with direct sling stud mounting.
With its rapid-attach sling stud mounting system, the Sling Stud QD bipod takes the effort out of aligning and tightening that comes with traditional sling stud-mount bipods. The stainless-steel mounting system self-locates and aligns perfectly every time, and an ergonomic thumbwheel allows for excellent grip to ensure easy tightening. Additionally, two sizes of non-marring, high-durometer rubber mounting gaskets are provided to ensure optimized fit and load distribution on narrow sporter-contour or wider target-style forends. The ability to mount a sling with standard locking sling swivels on the forend is maintained with a low-profile sling stud on the rear of the Sling Stud QD mount, which also provides for a quick detachment when it’s needed.
Providing the same premium features available in the existing line of Magpul bipods, the Sling Stud QD bipod brings you the high performance associated with higher-priced bipods at a significantly more affordable price. Spring-tensioned, Mil-Spec hard anodized 6061-T6 aluminum and injection-molded, reinforced polymer legs stow neatly forward and snap down and lock into place with one hand. Leg extensions slide and lock securely with the push of a button on any of the seven locking detents extending from 6.6” to 10.0”. An industry-exclusive 50° of total tilt are controlled by a glove-friendly, knurled, tool-less, bipod locking knob located between the extended legs, allowing easy adjustment between shots. A soft rubber bipod locking knob cap is attached to the locking knob, giving users a steady, non-marring forward rest while the bipod is folded. Additionally, its staggered soft rubber feet hold fast on a variety of shooting surfaces and are easily removed with a roll pin punch. Should users choose to change feet, the Sling Stud QD’s legs accept most Atlas-pattern bipod replaceable feet. The streamlined housing and legs fit neatly under the barrel and are just under 2.5” deep and 3.3” wide when folded.

The biggest problem with emotional support animals is that they aren’t Emotional Support Uzis. Science knows this and Stickthison.com knows this. The good news is that you don’t have to live another day without your own Emotional Support Uzi. It’s almost as easy to buy on the internet than those sketchy support dog papers for your mutt.
Fort Worth, Texas: Introducing the new CMC Triggers AR-15/AR-10 Combat Curve Trigger (CCT™) … The innovative design combines the comfort of the classic curve with the indexing of CMC’s patented flat trigger into one dynamic hybrid trigger bow for the modern warfighter. The CMC CCT™ has an exceptionally smooth feel, ultra-clean break, and an exceptional lock time and lightning-fast reset.
CMC Triggers is the original maker and manufacturer of the Drop-in Trigger Group for the AR-15/10 rifle since 2003. CMC’s critical sear engagement surfaces have a propriety machining process that renders superior surface finish and dimensional control. As compared to their competition, the techniques used establish a 1-2 RMS surface finish as opposed to EDMing which leaves a pitty 32 RMS, compared to a mirror which is 0 RMS. CMC Triggers sear engagement overlap is six to eight times greater than their competitors. This provides a much safer trigger and enhances reliability.
Ultra-crisp 3.5lb trigger pull with no creep prior to hammer release
Glass-smooth break with no feel of grittiness
Minimal lock time is designed into the assembly using controlled hammer weight and balance activated by a rocket wire hammer spring, assuring repeatable function with either commercial or military grade ammunition
Positive trigger reset allows a quick follow up shot on target
Trigger pull is factory pre-set and not user adjustable
Hand assembled, and hand tested
Totally self-contained one-piece assembly
Includes CMC Anti-Walk Pin Set
Fits MIL-SPEC AR-15 and AR-10 style rifles
Made from 8620 Alloy Steel and S7 Tool Steel with machined tolerances of +/– .001″
Trigger is easy to install following the instructions: follow link www.cmctriggers.com/installation-instructions

Alpaca fiber has some excellent qualities even over fibers like Merino wool. It wicks, resists funk, and insulates with less bulk while staying extremely soft. Those attributes make it attractive for socks but there are few examples of readily available alpaca fiber socks on the market and those that are available often have little actual fiber content. Enter Follow Hollow.
Follow Hollow, founded by Brian Davis of Fix It Sticks, is attempting to launch a sock line that is designed from the ground up to leverage the qualities of alpaca fiber all while not skimping on the alpaca fiber content (at least 80%) and offering the socks at a price similar to premium wool socks.
The Performance Alpaca Socks have been launched on Kickstarter. There is a week remaining and the project is nearly fully funded.
