Ballistic Advantage’s Barrel of the Week is perfect for that RECCE build that you have been putting off. They are offering their 16″ stainless, SPR profile barrel from the Premium Series for just $142. 50! That is a ridiculous deal on a precision barrel like this.
Malkoff Devices’ E1 and E2 heads are the premier replacement heads for Surefire’s E-Series and M300/M600 Scout lights. The E1 and E2 have utilize an orange peel textured reflector to create a beam that is balanced for spill and throw. Now they have introduced the E1T and E2T heads that feature a TIR optic which tightly focuses the light for a beam that offers more throw.
The E1T (for 1 CR123A lights) and E2T (for 2 CR123A lights) pump out 200 and 250 lumens respectively and the lux readings are just as impressive at 12000 and 14000 respectively. That means the E1T is pushing light out to 450 feet and the E2T can illuminate objects out to 600 feet. The efficient Cree XP-E2 emitter lets these lights achieve runtimes of 45-60 minutes (E1T) and about 1.5 hour (E2T).

This excellent PSA comes via the head honcho at TacStrike, Rob Tackett. The image below is a steel plate that had to be taken out of service far earlier than it should have due to excessive warping. As bullet strikes add up on a plate, it begins to warp with the outer edges bending toward the direction of fire. The warping shown in the image below is extreme and can only be accomplished via lots and lots of bullet strikes. This target has become unsafe to shoot due to the unpredictable way ricochets may come off the plate.
The simple fix to this problem is to turn your plate around and shoot at the other side for a while. This will halt the warping in one direction and begin to push it back into shape. You should be turning your steel targets at regular intervals. Consider it part of their preventative maintenance just like keeping them painted to avoid rust and greasing various hinges and bolts to prevent seizing.
All steel targets will warp like this eventually. It is important to choose a target that was designed by someone who understands this and has manufactured their targets to allow the plate to be turned easily.
Blue Force Gear’s new Mag NOW! may look like a typical open top magazine shingle at first glance but it is chock-full of BFG technology.
The body of the pouch is made from BFG’s proprietary ULTRAcomp material and has a MOLLEminus matrix so that other MOLLE compatible pouches can be stacked onto it. This makes Mag NOW! very thin and very lightweight. The MOLLEminus front panel is backed with color matched 500D nylon which provides a continuous camo pattern or color to conceal the magazines that would otherwise show through the voids in the MOLLEminus matrix.
BFG has also introduced a new molded rubber pull tab. The tab is large and easy to grab, even with gloved hands. It is designed to sit in the same place on the magazines consistently so that you are ever groping for them or having to figure out which way is best to pull it off of the magazine.
Check out the new Mag NOW! at Blue Force Gear.
