Haley Strategic Partners let the cat out of the bag regarding two new light mounts from their collaboration with Impact Weapons Components – the Thorntail SBR and the Thorntail MIL620. Both of these mounts are based on the excellent HSP Thorntail light mount.

The Thorntail SBR is designed to keep the bezel of the light a little further away from the muzzle device on short barreled rifles. It accomplishes this by shortening the arm that the light is attached to. This shorter version may also be preferred by some who like the functionality of the Thorntail but just don’t need as much extension.

The Thorntail MIL620 is designed to be a low profile mount for the Surfire Millenium series weapon lights and the Surefire Scout 630 series weapon lights. These lights have been lacking low profile mount options until now.

Interestingly, there is also a good glimpse of the upcoming BCM Comp in this video. GearScout has a great screen capture and details.

The AR-15/AR-10 platform is capable of exhibiting extreme accuracy and is becoming more and more popular as a dedicated precision weapon. There may be no more precise ARs than those made by LaRue Tactical so it should come as no surprise that they are now offering a precision oriented grip for the AR.

The new A-PEG Grip from LaRue Tactical has a number of options that the end user can choose from. It is available in numerous colors including LaRue’s own UDE color scheme. The A-PEG is available with rough or smooth texture. It can be purchased for both the AR-15 and AR-10.

A lot of work went into the ergonomic design of this grip. LaRue states:

Inspired by the human hand, the unique “flats” on the front and back fall more naturally onto the geometry of the hand’s structure. The flat front also provides indexing to help level and square the firearm to the target. A sculptured palm swell on either side fits nicely into the hollows of the palm. A gentle taper helps seat the hand towards the firearm, and helps to keep the hand from sliding. The generous texture added to the sides gives just the right amount of traction in slippery conditions.

The latest video from BCM is attention worthy for a number of reasons. It contains a very succinct and interesting history of the carbine as a service weapon in the USA that is narrated by 2 of the men who know how to get the most out of it – Pat Rogers and Travis Haley. It also contains an allusion to an upcoming BCM Compensator that already has the industry buzzing.

GearScout was able to capture some very clear images of the new BCM Comp that are worth checking out.
