BAD-MRAD RAPID BRAKE and BAD-DBM Remington M700SA Bottom Metal

By on February 16, 2012 in Guns, Tactical Gear

Battle Arms Development could probably sit back and rest confidently in the knowledge that they make the best AR-15 selectors in the world but that just isn’t how they do things. They are pushing into new platforms with their newest products – the BAD-MRAD RAPID BRAKE and BAD-DBM Remington M700SA Bottom Metal.

The new BAD-MRAD RAPID BRAKE is a unique brake that is designed by Randy Cain of R+D Precision specifically for precision rifles. The RAPID BRAKE features a “pinch” design that allows it to be timed without having to worry about torque. It can be easily removed for cleaning or suppressor mounting and then re-installed just as easily. The ports are angled 10 degrees up to eliminate ground signature. The RAPID BRAKE fits 5/8″-24TPI, Class 3A threaded barrels and is precision CNC milled from 1144 “Stress Proof” Bar Stock Steel.

The BAD-DBM Remington M700SA Bottom Metal is also designed by Randy Cain. The BAD-DBM is a bottom metal set designed for Remington M700 short action rifles. Its key feature is a low-profile, snag-free, and completely ambidextrous magazine release lever that can easily be reached with the trigger finger without loosening your firing grip. This bottom metal set accepts the industry standard Accuracy International 5 and 10 round magazines.

Stay tuned for more upcoming gear announcements from Battle Arms Development.

The UW GEAR Minuteman MKII with 4 mag pouches in PenCott GreenZone.

I am excited to announce that UW GEAR has partnered with Jerking the Trigger as an advertiser. UW GEAR designs their gear to be durable enough for any user but with a focus on the armed citizen. This focus has lead them to incorporate many unique features into their gear that you will not find anywhere else.

I currently have my hands on 3 different UW GEAR items and I can attest that they make top quality gear. Not only is their gear well made, but is also well thought out. The designs stem from well defined concepts that UW GEAR is happy to share with people. In fact, that accessibility is one of the things that sets UW GEAR apart. You can have direct contact with them on the UW GEAR forum or Facebook page.

Make Ready with Pat Rogers from Panteo Productions

By on February 15, 2012 in Guns, Tactics and Training

Panteao Productions is making a name for themselves by delivering a huge and ever growing variety of tactical training from many of the most noted trainers in the industry, right into your living room. They not only provide DVDs but also offer an innovate streaming service that gives you access to the entire series of “Make Ready” training videos in HD on your computer. The newest part of the Panteao Productions Make Ready series is a Basic Carbine installment with legendary firearm instructor Pat Rogers. If that doesn’t make you stand up and take notice of what Panteo Productions is doing, I am not sure what will.

From the Panteao Productions website:

This video is a great way to start building upon your skill set in using a carbine or brushing up on your fundamentals. Pat Rogers, founder of EAG Tactical and retired Marine and Sgt in NYPD, takes you through all the steps needed towards building a solid foundation. In a one-on-one setting, Pat reviews with you the various accessories and gear available for the carbine platform. He covers weapon manipulation, trigger reset & dry firing, zero procedure, target engagement drills, shooting from intermediate and prone positions, turns, multiple target engagement, shooting on the move, and more. If you are serious about carbine use, this is a must have video.

Pat Rogers has a no BS approach to shooting, scratch that, to fighting with a gun. This should be an excellent addition to the already impressive Make Ready series.

Ameriglo Light Sticks

By on February 15, 2012 in EDC, Survival, Tactical Gear

I was looking at Beyond Issue for something unrelated but came across the Ameriglo Light Sticks that they carry. That reminded me that I still had a handful of them that were getting to be quite old. In fact, when I dug them out, I found that they had “expired” in 2006. This seemed like a good opportunity for a test or at least some short lived glow in the dark fun for my daughters.

I opened up one of the sticks and cracked it to begin the chemical reaction that would cause it to glow. To my surprise, it glowed very brightly for several hours and then continued to glow faintly but enough to be seen from across a dark room for about 48 hours. That is pretty good for a light stick that is 6 years beyond its shelf life.

The test also reminded me how much I like the Ameriglo light stick form factor. They have a soft lashing point and a hard lashing point on the top that works very well. The large hook is designed to give way easily so the light stick can be pulled off a cord in order to be dropped somewhere. The smaller hole is for more permanent mounting. Only the military contract Cyalume sticks that I have seen have a similar system.

Visit Beyond Issue to pick up some Ameriglo Light Sticks.
