New and Improved 30SD 7.62mm Suppressor from Griffin Armament

By Matt on August 4, 2015 in Guns

Griffin Armament just announced the new and improved version of their 30SD 7.62mm QD Suppressor.

The 30SD’s tube chassis is machined from 17-4 stainless steel bar stock. The blast chamber and front mount support at integral. The tube has patent pending fluted which increases surface area for cooling and adds rigidity for durability at a lower weight penalty. The front cap has been redesigned to suppress flash.

On the interior, the 30SD features a patent pending, high efficiency baffle system that has improved performance across all calibers. According to Griffin Armament: “The 30SD (Mod 2) retained its excellent 7.62mm sound reduction, but dropped ~4DB’s in 300BLK, and 5DB’s on 5.56mm firearms. The 30SD offers a 5.56mm 132DB sound reduction.”

Griffin Armament’s SD-QD mounting system allows the 30SD to be mounted on A2 flash suppressors as well as their own full line of M4SD muzzle devices. The SD-QD mount uses a unique locking gate rather than metal on metal ratcheting action. This makes mounting the 30SD very quick and prevents metal on metal wear. The tolerances on the 30SD and M4SD mounts are tightly controlled to allow for minimal and repeatable zero shift. A 30SD Muzzle Brake mount is included with every 30SD Suppressor.

Crowdfund This: AK Identification Playing Cards

By Matt on August 3, 2015 in Guns

GunWebsites.com has created a deck of AK Identification Playing Cards that are reminiscent of the old aircraft ID playing cards. Each card in the deck features a silhouette of an AK variant along with information like its country of origin, arsenal mark, years of production, and materials used. GunWebsites.com has stated that if successful, this could be the first in a series of decks that would expand the countries and AK variants represented.

The AK Identification Playing Cards are currently being launched on Kickstarter. There are a number of affordable backer perks to check out, including some early bird perks that are still available.

HSG Plate Carriers

By Matt on August 3, 2015 in Tactical Gear

It is good to see High Speed Gear back in the plate carrier game. There was a time when the Weesatch and its derivatives were the hot carriers on the market but that was years ago. Now, with the introduction of their new MPC and SPC carriers, they are coming back to relevance in an innovative way.

HSG’s approach to their SPC and MPC is modularity on a level that I am not sure we have seen before. Both plate carriers start with the same basic, slick, plate pocket chassis. The SPC is offered as a more slick, low-profile option and the MPC as a more modular, load-bearing option. The MPC’s MOLLE compatible cummerbund is actually HSG’s excellent Sure Grip repurposed with an adapter to work as a cummerbund! The front panel can be run slick or with the new HSG Chest Platform mounted on the front as a cummerbund flap. Both the Sure Grip Belt and Chest Platform can also be utilized as stand-alone gear when you don’t need a plate carrier.

We have certainly seen effective ways to integrate plate carriers and chest rigs before, but HSG’s new approach seems to take modularity to a whole new level. Check out the SPC and MPC at HSG.

By Matt on August 1, 2015 in Guns

A Faxon Firearms lightweight profile barrel was at the heart of JTT’s recent lightweight budget build. I have used two of these barrels in builds and I am very impressed with what you get for your money.

Faxon Firearms often has a coupon code for discounts on certain barrels but that rarely includes the lightweight barrels because of their popularity. This must be our lucky week because you can save 10% off 16″ 4150 Pencil Profile and 20″ Gunner Profile barrels when you use the coupon code PENCILSALE at checkout. The coupon code is valid through 8/8/2015.

Maybe it’s time for you to start your own budget lightweight build!
