V Seven Weapons just added a new caliber to their Enlightened series of complete uppers/rifles – .224 Valkyrie.
The 18″ Valkyrie Enlightened Rifle is built around their Enlightened receiver set which makes use of 2055 lithium-aluminum alloy and machining to reduce weight. This is paired with their 15″ Hyper-Light handguard in the buyer’s choice of M-LOK or Key-Mod. V Seven Weapons uses many of their proprietary small parts to further reduce the weight.
The heart of any rifle is the barrel. This one has an 18″ 416R stainless match barrel with a medium contour. It has 1 in 7″ twist and polygonal rifling.
The complete rifle weighs just 5lb 4.8oz in spite of it’s 15″ rail and 18″ barrel.
Gear makers take note: It took a few revisions to dial in the colors perfectly, but it was worth it. Whiskey Two-Four has Murdock M81 Woodland Jacquard Woven 1″ Webbing available by the yard.
Luxe Hiking Gear is known for their lightweight, stove-ready backcountry shelters. They make a number of pyramid, hexamid, octomid hot tents that cost significantly less than most similar shelters.
One of their smallest and most popular shelters is their Minipeak – a floorless 2 person (1 person with stove) pyramid shelter with double entries and ripstop polyester construction. It’s popular due to its low cost for a stove-ready shelter, versatility, and solid feature set. It only makes sense that they would offer a larger version.
Luxe Hiking Gear has announced that the Minipeak XL will be available soon. It retains everything that makes the Minipeak great but has a larger foot print that allows for up to 3 people or more space for a taller person versus the Minipeak. It is available in a number of configurations with is typical for all Luxe shelters (floorless, with an optional partial nest, and more).
The Minipeak XL is available to pre-order now at a special price. Delivery is expected in August.

XTech Tactical, one of the fastest growing
firearms accessory manufactures, is now shipping its OEM47 10/30 (MSRP $19.95) as
an expansion of its “Commufornia Special” magazine line. Like the MAG47 10/30,
$1 for each magazine sold off the company’s website will go towards Gun Owners
of America to fight for gun rights. The magazines will also ship with a $5 off
annual membership offer to Gun Owners of America.
The XTech Tactical “Commufornia Special” offers a
field strippable 10rd magazine in a 30rd magazine body. This permits much easy
mag changes and insertion into the rifle, while still permitting the user to
clean the magazine. The term “Commufornia Special” is intended to remind and
encourage the company’s customers to get involved in protecting their rights as
firearms owners and supporters of the Constitution.
The OEM 10/30 will not function if its blocker is removed due to its reduced spring, and
the magazine is only marked as a 10-round magazine.
About the
OEM47 Line:
The OEM47 line is a result of numerous requests
from rifle manufactures for XTech Tactical to offer a lower cost AK 7.62×39
magazine option to include with the sale of their rifles. However, the company
would not settle for simply making a less expensive option without optimizing
the value and its competitive placement in the market. The OEM47 line features
an all polymer construction using a proprietary composite blend.
After 9 months of development the polymer permits
the 30rd, standard capacity, version of the OEM47 to pass drop tests that more
expensive US Made AK magazines will not.
The OEM47 line currently is only available as the
OEM47 10/30 with the standard capacity 30rd option soon to follow. The OEM47
line up offers a great value to those looking for magazines for recreational
and range use. For those looking for a battle-ready magazine, the MAG47 offers the
most advanced US manufactured AK magazine on the market. The MAG47 features the
most advanced polymer, stainless steel feedlips and locking lugs, where-as, the
OEM47 is an all polymer construction.
