Midwest Industries Lightweight Keymod Handguard

By on May 19, 2014 in Guns

Midwest Industries‘ SSK KeyMod rails are already very light weight. Their newly released Lightweight KeyMod Handguard manages to shed even more weight by replacing the continuous top rail with KeyMod slots. The 12″ rail weighs only 8.1 ounces with the barrel nut!

Like the SSK rails, this one features 5 QD sling swivel slots. It uses the same proprietary barrel nut as the SS and SSK handguards. The top rail features a short section of 1913 rail on the front and rear portions of the rail with KeyMod slots between.

These will be available in 3-4 weeks.

V7 Weapon Systems AR-15 Upper Receivers

By on May 19, 2014 in Guns

V7 Weapon Systems is appalled and offended by heavy AR-15s. They are continuing their all out assault on excess weight with the release of their new AR-15 upper receivers. These uppers look pretty typical at first glance but if you look closer you will notice a relief cut at the rear of the upper and a scalloped top rail.

The uppers are available in two versions. The first is a standard M4 spec upper. The second version sheds even more weight by removing the forward assist assembly. The M4 upper is also available with V7’s lightweight port door and forward assist assembly already installed.

Specs and features:

  • Material – 7075 T6 Aluminum
  • Finish – BLACK KG 2400 SERIES coating over hard anodization
  • M4 feedramps
  • Lifetime warranty

Check out the new uppers at V7 Weapon Systems.

SIONICS Weapon Systems 16″ Pencel Barrel and Pencil Barrel Rifle

By on May 17, 2014 in Guns

As promised in our recent post on SIONICS Weapon Systems new 11.5″ barrels, here is the latest on their new 16″ mid-length lightweight profile “pencil” barrel and Pencil Barrel Rifle. The new barrel is everything you expect from SIONICS. It will be available with a variety of gas block options or as part of a complete rifle – the SIONICS Pencil Barrel Rifle.

SIONICS Pencil Barrel Rifle

The Pencil Barrel Rifle sports a 15″ Midwest Industries SSK rail, B5 Systems Bravo SOPMOD Stock, and Ergo grip and still manages to weigh in at just 5 pounds, 14 ounces. That means that if you are smart with your light, sight and optic choices, the completed carbine will weigh in at around 6.5 pounds. That is quite light for an off the shelf carbine.

The barrels and complete rifle builds will be available Memorial Day weekend. Keep an eye on SIONICS Weapon Systems.

I will keep banging the drum for small businesses in this industry as long as cool stuff like keeps happening… Wilde Built Tactical made these custom PALS panels for a motorcycle. It is always a challenge to carry and organizer gear on a motorcycle. Now the owner of the motorcycle has a handy platform for attaching various pouches and packs… and… uh…

Oh, sorry. I was just day dreaming about building an awesome bugout dual sport motorcycle that is covered in PALS panels and cool guy gear!
