V7 Weapon Systems AR-15 Upper Receivers

By on May 19, 2014 in Guns

V7 Weapon Systems is appalled and offended by heavy AR-15s. They are continuing their all out assault on excess weight with the release of their new AR-15 upper receivers. These uppers look pretty typical at first glance but if you look closer you will notice a relief cut at the rear of the upper and a scalloped top rail.

The uppers are available in two versions. The first is a standard M4 spec upper. The second version sheds even more weight by removing the forward assist assembly. The M4 upper is also available with V7’s lightweight port door and forward assist assembly already installed.

Specs and features:

  • Material – 7075 T6 Aluminum
  • Finish – BLACK KG 2400 SERIES coating over hard anodization
  • M4 feedramps
  • Lifetime warranty

Check out the new uppers at V7 Weapon Systems.

SIONICS Weapon Systems 16″ Pencel Barrel and Pencil Barrel Rifle

By on May 17, 2014 in Guns

As promised in our recent post on SIONICS Weapon Systems new 11.5″ barrels, here is the latest on their new 16″ mid-length lightweight profile “pencil” barrel and Pencil Barrel Rifle. The new barrel is everything you expect from SIONICS. It will be available with a variety of gas block options or as part of a complete rifle – the SIONICS Pencil Barrel Rifle.

The Pencil Barrel Rifle sports a 15″ Midwest Industries SSK rail, B5 Systems Bravo SOPMOD Stock, and Ergo grip and still manages to weigh in at just 5 pounds, 14 ounces. That means that if you are smart with your light, sight and optic choices, the completed carbine will weigh in at around 6.5 pounds. That is quite light for an off the shelf carbine.

The barrels and complete rifle builds will be available Memorial Day weekend. Keep an eye on SIONICS Weapon Systems.

RETA Kydex Mag/Pistol Light Holder

This is an interesting idea that I am still trying to get my head around how I feel about it. RETA Kydex is now offering a light rail customization option for their Kydex magazine carrier (pistol and rifle). The option places a small section of rail on the carrier so that you can attach your pistol light and keep it close at hand without needing to have a light specific holster for your handgun.

On one hand, I can see the utility of this and I think it could be useful for some shooters. On the other, I would much rather have my light mounted and ready. Regardless, this is an interesting product and I am glad to see Kydex benders like RETA Kydex continuing to innovate.

Sneaky Bags NAUTILUS

By on May 12, 2014 in EDC, Guns

The Sneaky Bags NAUTILUS is the next bag in their production line up. This sling style bag has elements of an EDC bag like user configurable organization features but it is also designed to adapt to various discreet weapons carry methods from simply concealing a handgun in its CCW pocket or configured to carry a PDW or SBR.

The NAUTILUS is roughly 21″ tall, 13″ wide, and 7″ deep. It has internal loop covered PALS webbing to organize PALS compatible or Velcro backed pouches or to serve as an attachment point for PDWs and SBRs. The inside of the flap that the front of the pack creates when the bag is opened has zippered mesh pocket organization. The interior sides also feature mesh pouches. Sneaky Bags NAUTILUS Interior

The exterior of the NAUTILUS features a single zippered slash pocket and the appearance of the pack is purposely muted. The CCW pouch can be found behind the pack’s mesh back panel where it is easily accessed by pulling the bag around to your front or side. This can be done with either the left or right hand thanks to the single ambidextrous shoulder strap.

The NAUTILUS will be available soon. Check out Sneaky Bags.
