Keep your eye on TRIARC Systems. They just launched their website today and it is already packed with a truckload of lust-worthy TRACK rifled AR-15 barrels. I suggest you head over to the site, look around a bit, read more about their impressive barrels and night vision gear, and their mission.
Daniel Defense will roll out a new competition rifle at SHOT Show…
From Daniel Defense:
Black Creek, GA- January 19, 2015- Daniel Defense, exhibiting at SHOT Show 2015, January 20-23rd, at the Sands Expo & Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, today officially announced the release of the DDM4v11 Pro Series Rifle.
Further tapping into the shooting sports arena, the V11 Pro Series Rifle encompasses the core attributes athletes search for in a competition rifle. “As more and more consumers begin to utilize the AR platform for competition, we felt it was the right time to release this version of our popular V11,” explained Jordan Hunter, Director of Marketing for Daniel Defense. Built around an 18-inch barrel and rifle length gas system, the V11’s competitive edge also stems from the lightweight SLiM Rail 15.0, GEN II Muzzle Climb Mitigator, Geissele SD-3G competition trigger and upgraded charging handle.
“The V11 Series rifles were released back in the summer,” continued Hunter. “Not only were they an instant hit, leaving with consumers as fast as they could be placed on the racks, it left us brainstorming on ways we could expand this model.” The answer came in the form of a precision rifle with the desired components for the 3-gun stage or other recreational shooting.

It’s time to buy stock in Rit Dye.
Magpul is releasing a new color, SAND, that is more than just a new color. Not only does it match the lighter tones in popular camo patterns but it actually contains a new formulation of polymer that is more durable than the black polymer that Magpul currently uses in their Gen M3 line. Due to it’s lighter color, it serves as a better foundation for dying with various colors and camo patterns.
From Magpul:
SINCE THE INTRODUCTION OF THE GEN M3 LINE OF PMAGS, THERE HAS BEEN A RECURRING THEME IN REQUESTS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS, AND THAT HAS BEEN A CALL FOR COLOR OPTIONS. UNTIL NOW, THE GEN M3 LINE HAS BEEN MANUFACTURED ONLY IN BLACK. WE’VE BEEN QUIETLY WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES ON SOME THINGS, AND WE’RE FINALLY READY TO SHARE ONE OF THOSE WITH THE WORLD.
We’re introducing a new color to our line. This color, officially named “Sand”, is as much an overall material development as it is a color development. “Sand” is a light, “non-black” color that closely matches some of the lighter tones in popular military camouflage patterns as well as many environments on the current battlefield. In addition to being less significant in the IR spectrum and ideal for many desert environments, this new material has several other meaningful benefits.
STRENGTH This new Sand colored material shares many of the properties and components of our latest black material. Endurance, reliability, chemical resistance, stability, and other parameters are exactly the same. The main difference, due to some proprietary developments in composition, is strength. The GEN M3 AR/M4 PMAG is extremely resilient in black. However, as tough as our basic black material is, the Sand material is even stronger. We’ve seen very significant increases in feed lip drop and other rough handling tests from -60F to 180F—to an extent that it made our initial results hard to believe. Similar proportional increases in the other magazines in our line have been seen in our testing. With this increase in drop strength, we still see the resiliency that makes the PMAG what it is—Feed geometry does not change, unlike metal or softer polymer magazines—and so reliable feeding is not affected by this punishment.
ADDITIONAL COLORS In addition to its physical properties, the color of the Sand material was chosen for another reason. It serves as a perfect foundation for water-based dye processes to change the color of the material or add camouflage patterns without adding surface thickness or scratching off with use. You can see some of the results of a few minutes with common RIT dye and cellophane wrap in the inset photo. If paint is the desired method of camouflage, “Sand” forms a great basis for this also. Dyed magazines can serve as the base for additional paint pattern options.
Expect to see the new “Sand” material making its way through our magazine line very quickly. We’ll have some video tutorials about using dye and paint to change the appearance of this material coming soon.
In related news, Magpul has refreshed their website and many of the new products that were announced last week and a few they haven’t mentioned yet can be viewed.
You may have done some cool things this week but you probably didn’t use a bunch of cool Unity Tactical gear and TNVC night vision at Telluric Group‘s amazing low light capable training facility.
I can picture the guys at X Products sitting around the office in a couch cushion fort, dreaming up cool stuff to launch out of their new Can Cannon. This upcoming grappling hook is the result of one of those brainstorming sessions. It is as if they invited 8 year old me to a company meeting and asked for all my cool ideas.
Check out X Products, their Can Cannon, and new grappling hook at SHOT Show booth 4053. Please try to refrain from obliviously slipping into your day dream world while creating sound effects and pantomiming shooting the Can Cannon grappling hook into the bad guy’s fortress so you can scale the walls while you are there.
