Blue Force Gear Micro Rack

It’s here! It’s finally here! The chest rig that I have been hoping Blue Force Gear (BFG) would make since I first laid eyes on RACKminus is now available and it’s called the Micro Rack. As you might have guessed by the name, the Micro Rack is essentially a compact version of BFG’s RACKminus.

Like the RACKminus, the Micro Rack features BFG’s MOLLEminus technology. BFG uses a series of slots and voids to create a MOLLE compatible matrix rather than the typical webbing on backing design used on most chest rigs. This, coupled with the compact 6 column by 3 row dimensions of the Micro Rack keep its weight to minimum.

Don’t let the light weight fool you into thinking this rig can’t take abuse. It is made from BFG’s durable ULTRAcomp laminate material and its nearly stitch free construction removes many potential failure points.

The cherry on top is that the Micro Rig’s top buckles are spaced to work with Mayflower R&C/Velocity Systems’ plate carriers so you can use it as a stand alone chest rig or a very light weight panel to dock on your plate carrier.

If you want to see the Micro Rack in person, Blue Force Gear will be exhibiting this week at Warrior Expo West. Check out the Micro Rack at Blue Force Gear.

ROG Tactical Super LPK

Have you ever wondered why you buy a lower parts kit and then replace nearly every part in it? You could just start with the parts you want like those found in the ROG Tactical Super LPK (Lower Parts Kit).

The Super LPK includes:

  • Battle Arms Development BAD-ASS
  • Battle Arms Development BAD-EPS
  • Geissele Automatics SSA-E trigger
  • UCWRG Grip 23
  • B5 Systems Trigger Guard

The rest of the small parts are “mil-spec lower parts”. Check out the Super LPK at ROG Tactical.

 

V7 Weapons Systems MPR

There is a new AR-15 free float hand guard on the market. The MPR, or Multi Purpose Rail, from V7 Weapon Systems is now available.

V7 MPR

The MPR is fairly lightweight at 12.6 ounces (15.2 with the barrel nut) for a 13.5″ rail, as you would expect from V7 Weapon Systems. They managed to keep the weight to a minimum by aggressively removing material from the rail everywhere they could. This includes machining grooves into the full length top rail and short, forward 3, 6, and 9 o’clock rails. The MPR also features 4 QD sling swivel sockets (1 forward and 1 rear on each side).

The included barrel nut might merit a post of its own. It is designed to make timing the nut as easy as possible. It lacks teeth so you don’t have to line up a pass-through for the gas tube and it features 32 different mounting positions so you can set the torque where you want it. On top of all that, you don’t need a specific wrench to install it. It can be tightened with a 1″ or 1 1/8″ wrench.

You can check out the MPR at V7 Weapon Systems.
