Magpul MBUS Generation 2 Now Shipping

By on March 8, 2011 in Guns

The original Magpul Back Up Sights (MBUS) were well loved for their combination of functionality and affordability. Now Magpul has released the second generation of the MBUS. Like the originals, the Gen 2 MBUS front and rear sights will be very reasonably priced and be molded in variety of the typical Magpul colors.

The Gen 2 MBUS improves on the original by adding a detent to the front sight so that the front sight post is locked in place. Both the front and rear have been made lower in profile so that they work with a wider variety of optics.

Both the front and rear MBUS can be found on Magpul’s website and should be on dealer shelves shortly.

New Stubby Vertical Grip by Gear Sector

By on March 4, 2011 in Guns, Tactical Gear

The new Stubby VFG (vertical fore grip) from Gear Sector is now available. It is a no-frills vertical grip that is meant to serve as a reference point, especially when used in conjunction with a hand stop.

The Stubby VFG is machined from 6061 T6 aluminum. The center of the grip has been hollowed out to save weight. The surface of the grip has several rings milled into it that can hold rubber o-rings in place if the users needs more grip. The mounting interface allows the Stubby VFG to be rocked into position rather than being slid on from the muzzle end. This makes installation easier.

Gear Sector mountable accessories are machined in such a way that they blend seamlessly with Tango Down rail covers. This provides a less interrupted, more clean, and snag-free gripping surface. This is the kind of attention to detail that I have come to expect from Gear Sector.

You can read more about the Stubby VFG and all the available colors on the Gear Sector website.

Noted handgun course instructor Todd Green has started a new internet forum called Pistol-Forum.com. The new forum is a sister site to his blog, Pistol-Training.com (which is also part of the GunUp blog network).

Shooters of all skill levels are welcome and it is free to join. The forum already boasts some well known and very knowledgeable SMEs (subject matter experts) as members so it is already well on its way to becoming an  invaluable resource for those who are dedicated to honing their skill with a handgun.

You can join the discussion on Pistol-Forum.com.

KRG Bolt Lift

By on February 22, 2011 in Guns

The Bolt Lift fromKinetic Research Group (KRG) is a very clever product for precision shooters. It is a user installed over-sized bolt knob for the ubiquitous Remington 700.

Over-sized bolt knobs are one of the most popular additions to a precision rifle. They provide more grip for the shooter to operate the bolt in cold, wet, muddy, or any other less than desirable condition. You used to have to send the bolt off to a gunsmith who would thread your bolt so that a new over-sized knob could be installed. The KRG Bolt Lift can be easily user installed.

The KRG Bolt Lift consists of two halves that can be screwed together. There are some internal spacers that can be used to fine tune the fit. The Bolt Lift can be installed in such a way that it is easily removable (one screw) or it can be epoxied in place using the epoxy that KRG includes with the Bolt Lift.

The KRG Bolt Lift is available in black only (for now) on the KRG website.
