We recently mentioned a new AK optic mount manufacturer, Skunkwerks 13. They have now changed their name to Sabrewerks in order to obtain trademark protection.
Their mounts can now be found at Sabrewerks.com.
Weapon Outfitters Heavy Buffer
Every one of my carbines has an H buffer (or heavier in some cases). Simply put, adding some weight to the cycling mass in your AR-15 can smooth the recoil pulse and increase the reliability of your carbine.
The Weapon Outfitters Heavy Buffer is one of the many H buffer options that are available. It is unique because it is filled with powdered tungsten instead of steel and tungsten weights as you would find in a typical H buffer. Some claim that the use of powdered tungsten further smooths the recoil pulse. Oh, and if you didn’t notice… it is bright red!
Check out the Weapon Outfitters Heavy Buffer on WeaponOutfitters.com.
NavELite Compass Case Preview
Everyone’s favorite wrist compass (or at least it should be), the NavELite Compass, will soon have an available case. The NavELite Compass Case will have storage for the NavELite Compass, a small screwdriver for the battery compartment of the compass, spare screws, and spare batteries. That should be just about everything you need to keep your NavELite Compass’ EL backlight up and running in the field. It has a semi-rigged design to protect contents and a snap-link to allow for a variety of storage options.
Assembling a CAV-15 MKII Lower Receiver
Russell Phagan, who is what you might call a CAV-15 MKII expert thanks to his many years of experience at the original manufacturer of the CAV-15 Lower Receiver (Cavalry Arms), just completed a video that walks you through the assembly of a CAV-15 MKII receiver. I know several of you have purchased the newer GWACS Armory manufactured CAV-15 MKIIs and are likely ready to start adding your lower parts. There are a few nuances that you should be aware of when assembling these receivers which Russell covers well in this video.

Blue Force Gear Licenses Helium Whisper to Mayflower
Helium Whisper technology continues on its march toward MOLLE domination:
SAVANNAH, GA—February 19, 2012—Blue Force Gear® announced today that they will provide their weight-slashing Helium Whisper™ pouch attachment system to Mayflower Research & Consulting. Mayflower joins the growing number of adoptees for Blue Force Gear’s Patent pending Helium Whisper and this technology will enhance the products they currently provide to elite users. Mayflower anticipates full stock of their pouches with Helium Whisper backers in approximately 45 days.
“Mayflower Research & Consulting is proud to be working with Blue Force Gear moving forward with a great addition to our product lineup. Blue Force Gear has made a giant leap forward in removing weight off of the warfighter’s back and we see it as a natural compliment to our philosophy of building products for the military athlete,” said Travis Rolph, Mayflower’s CEO.
