Can’t wait to get your grubby mitts on those new PMAGs you just ordered? This will help…
The latest from Magpul:
Austin, Texas (February 11, 2016) – Magpul, in an effort to get PMAGs into end-user hands as quickly as possible, is testing an industry leading same-hour delivery system in select markets. Simply place your PMAG order at Magpul.com and then look up.
Editor’s Note: Oh for goodness’ sake! Obviously, this is a joke. Magpul posted this great image of a skydiver with a PMAG on their Facebook page. No one likes waiting for PMAGs.

Bipods can be a great tool for shooting in the field but if you keep those domed rubber feet, you will never get the most out of them. In order to actually “load” a bipod, you are going to need something that bites into whatever surface you are resting it on when you shoot. That is where the Ultimate Bipod Hawk Talons from Hawk Hill Custom come in.
The Ultimate Bipod Hawk Talons look to be an excellent value, especially if you have a Harris Bipod. First, the central spike on these feet is stainless steel which is a step up from the aluminum found on most spiked feet in the same price range. My current bipod spikes are aluminum and, while they have held up well for a long time, they are definitely not as sharp as they were. Steel construction would go a long way toward helping them stay sharp.
Second, they come with a nifty set of two tooling blocks and a draft pin. The tooling blocks are specifically made to support the bipod and help you drive out the roll pins that secure a Harris Bipod’s rubber feet. The video below shows the process and it looks pretty painless. I can assure you, as someone who has replaced the feet on a Harris Bipod, that without the provided tools it is an absolute pain in the backside.
The Springfield Field Watch was Smith & Bradley fourth and most recent Kickstarter watch launch. The campaign raised almost five times its goal on the strength of this watch’s style and value. It looks great and it manages to pack a lot of great components into an affordable package.
