Cavalry Manufacturing SCAR MK17S PMAG Lower

By on February 25, 2013 in Guns

It looks like SCAR MK17S shooters are going to have some options when it comes to using PMAGs with their MK17S. Many of your are likely already familiar with the billet aluminum Handl Defense lower that allows the SCAR MK17S accept PMAGs but there is now a another manufacturer throwing their hat into the ring – Cavalry Manufacturing.

You might see the Cavalry Manufacturing name and think polymer but this lower will be made from aluminum. Unlike an AR-15 the lower receiver on the SCAR is not the serialized receiver so it can be purchased without having to go through an FFL. This is also why Cavalry Manufacturing, who no longer holds an FFL, can manufacture these receivers.

Look for more details on the Cavalry Manufacturing SCAR MK17S PMAG lower soon. Hat tip to SinistralRifleman.com for the information and video.

Rogue Gunfighter Store is Live

By on February 25, 2013 in Tactical Gear

The Rogue Gunfighter web store is now on line. You have probably been following the development of the LVR like the rest of us and hoping it would be available soon. Well, the wait is over.

Rogue Gunfighter LVR

The LVR is an armor carrier that is really loaded with unique features. It seems to scale endlessly and easily. Without adding or removing a single pouch it can serve as a low visibility, slick carrier or carry up to 10 M4 mags, a handgun, and other gear! It comes with a removable MOLLE chest rig to further increase its load bearing potential.

The LVR isn’t all they have at the new store so head over to RogueGunfighter.com and check it out.

Princeton Tec VIZZ

I always look forward to seeing what Princeton Tec will come up with next – especially when it comes to headlamps. I have been using their lights for more than 15 years! Their newest headlamp is called the VIZZ and it looks like it has a lot going for it.

Princeton Tec VIZZ

The VIZZ has only one button. The user can dictate how the light behaves by how they interact with this button. Click it one time for red light output from 2 5mm LEDs. Click it two times for 150 lumens of white light. If you depress and hold the button, you can activate 2 dimable 5mm white LEDs. Click three times to lock the VIZZ to prevent accidental activation.

I have a strong affinity for headlamps that either come on in low red mode or that allow the user to easily access this mode without shuffling through the bright white modes. This prevents you from ruining your dark adjusted vision.

The VIZZ runs on 3x AAA batteries which is a form factor that Princeton Tec has perfected. It keeps the light small enough and light enough that it doesn’t need a top strap but still provides long runtimes (up to 160 hours for the VIZZ).

The Police Loophole

By on February 23, 2013 in Other

In most cases, when a state or local government passes legislation to limit magazine capacity, ban a certain type of firearm, or otherwise limit the 2nd Amendment freedoms of their populace, they build in exemptions for their police department. Now there is a movement afoot to close this so called Police Loophole. Many companies are deciding to discontinue sales to the police departments of anywhere that enforces such a double standard.

A new website has popped up recently that lets you know who is already on board with this movement. There are some real industry giants on the list already. Check out ThePoliceLoophole.com.

You can use the information at the site to make decisions on where to spend your money. You can also use it to ask your favorite retailers and manufacturers where they stand or have them added to the list if they have already taken a stand.
