SIONICS Weapon Systems and Axelson Tactical Commemorative Rifle

SIONICS Weapon Systems was approached by Jeff Axelson of Axelson Tactical to create a rifle to commemorate his brother Matthew Axelson who was during Operation Red Wings on June 28th, 2005. Matthew is an American hero who was awarded the Navy Cross for his action on this mission.

The rifle will be reminiscent of the rifle that Axelson was carrying on that mission but with a generous dose of the state of the art. It will be limited to just 100 pieces and will feature special serial numbers and engraving.

The tentative specs are:

  1. 18″ stainless 1×8 twist rifle length gas system barrel with bead blast finish
  2. Battle Comp 1.0 muzzle device with special laser engraving
  3. Geissele low profile gas block
  4. Geissele 15″ MKII Rail
  5. Geissele SSA trigger
  6. Vltor A5 Buffer System
  7. B5 Systems SOPMOD Stock
  8. Vltor/BCM Gunfighter MOD 4 handle
  9. Magpul MBUS PRO sights
  10. Battle Arms Development Ambidextrous Safety Selector
  11. 3 color camouflage Cerakote from Personal Defense Warehouse in Chandler, AZ

All of the rifles will ship in a Pelican case with a certificate of authenticity, data sheet, and special coins that are numbered to the rifle. Keep in mind that these specs may change as the plans are finalized and the various artwork for the engraving is still being completed.

KCT Kydex Element IWB Holster

Kinetic Concepts Tactical (KCT) is known for offering very inexpensive, functional kydex holsters. Their newest holster, the Element, costs just $30 and is an inside-the-waistband (IWB) design. KCT created the Element to be slim enough to work at any position on the waistband, including appendix carry. It features fold-over construction with a folded kydex belt hook. An optional, bolt-on pocket carry hook is also available for all models though it would obviously be best suited to handguns suitable for pocket carry.

Check out the Element at KCT Kydex.

Snatch N’ Grab from Advanced Holster

The Snatch N’ Grab is a 16″x10″ MOLLE compatible pack insert made from ABS plastic. Once the user has configured the panel with the loadout that they need, it can be inserted into any pack large enough to accept it, carried as a stand-alone organizer, or secured to a the front or back of a car seat. Since its use is not limited to tactical packs, it can be used to convert any commercial pack into a low-visibility “tactical” pack.

The Snatch N’ Grab utilizes a series of voids that creates a MOLLE compatible grid that is equivalent to a standard 4 columns by 6 rows PALS webbing grid. It also has several slots at the top and near the bottom that can be used with 1″ webbing to create handles, lashing straps, and shoulder straps. The bottom of the Snatch N’ Grab has a 2.3″ deep flange/shelf that makes it easier to insert/remove and aids in keeping the panel and pack upright. You can also use straps or bungee cords to secure items to the flange.

Check out the Snatch N’ Grab pre-order at Advanced Holster.

Switchview EAGLE EYE Speed Lever

The Switchview EAGLE EYE Speed Lever is a polymer magnification adjustment lever or “cat tail” that will fit just about any adjustable magnification optic. It costs significantly less than typical aluminum levers that must be machined to match an optic specifically. The EAGLE EYE Speed Lever is available individually or in packs of 3.

These look like a good, lower profile alternative to using casters while still keeping the cost reasonable.
