<p>Fix It Sticks, the industry innovator of modular firearms maintenance tools and torque limiters has introduced the AR Field Armorer’s Toolkit. Specifically made to service AR platform firearms, this new toolkit has an amazing assortment of the most important specialized and general use tools, bits, and a torque driver to properly set up, maintain and accessorize any AR rifle or pistol. The kit is capable enough to use on the bench, but portable enough to easily take to the range, out in the field, keep in a vehicle or ATV, etc. Like all Fix It Sticks products, the AR Field Armorer’s Toolkit was developed with input from gunsmiths, competitive shooters, law enforcement and military, and optics and accessory manufacturers.</p>



<p>AR Field Armorer’s Toolkit has AR platform specific tools and components such as a .223 Bolt Scraper, .308 Bolt Scraper, Castle Nut Wrench, A2 Sight Adjuster, AR-15 Extractor Tool, AR10 Extractor Tool, Pivot Pin Punches, Bolt Catch Pin Punch, and an AR Bench Block.

<p>Built on the legendary MCX platform, SIG SAUER is pleased to introduce the MCX-REGULATOR for an entirely new level of modularity. This newest addition to the MCX family combines the upper receiver of the MCX SPEAR-LT and gas piston system used by Elite Special Forces worldwide with a newly designed lower receiver, trigger and stock, forever redefining the ranch rifle.</p>



<p>“The heart and soul of this rifle is one of our flagship products &#8211; the legendary MCX,” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc. “This is the first time the DNA of an Elite Special Forces battle platform, flawless function, and a short stroke gas piston system has been specifically designed and visioned for the working rifle. At SIG, we don’t subscribe to the premise that its acceptable to compromise for any purpose, including your working rifle, and this rifle will revolutionize a day at the ranch or however you use your REGULATOR.”</p>

<p>The MCX-REGULATOR is an aluminum frame rifle with a gas-piston operating system, a Magpul SGA Mossberg 500/590 traditional stock in a Gen II NiR FDE Cerakote for reduced IR Signature. The platform features a redesigned lower receiver compatible with all MCX upper receivers, a fully ambidextrous magazine release, safety selector, and bolt catch. The MCX-REGULATOR ships with a two-stage match trigger, a cold hammer-forged carbon steel barrel, a SIG designed muzzle brake, and is available in 7.62&#215;39 and 5.56 calibers. The MCX-REGULATOR offers a built in Arca Rail for easy tripod mounting and ships with a 10-round magazine.<br>VIDEO: MCX-REGULATOR</p>

</div></figure>



<p>Additionally, the MCX-REGULATOR is available in with a factory installed mil-spec ROMEO2 optic. The optic features a molded glass aspheric lens with high-performance coatings for superior light transmittance and zero distortion, D.A.R.C. (Dark Adaptive Reticles and Coatings) technology to provide ideal reticle brightness and target clarity during the day or under night vision, MOTAC (motion-activated illumination system) automatically turns the optic off when not in use, and automatically turns it back on when it detects motion, and MAGNETAC (Magnetic Activation) automatically turns the optic off when holstered in a compatible holster, and on when drawn. The sight has a 7075-aluminum housing and comes with a full shroud installed to fully enclosed and seal the sight. A spring-loaded side battery tray with push-button release allows a battery change without the need to remove the optic from the firearm.</p>

<p>The new Merger LRF XP35 is the most compact binocular by Pulsar. It features the widest field of view in its category and an extremely sensitive thermal sensor. The Merger LRF XP35 is the latest addition to the Merger line of digital thermal binoculars, known for its European quality, ergonomics, and the comfort of observation. As the most compact and lightweight model of the line, it features a staggeringly wide field of view (17.8°). This allows you to comfortably scan vast areas for far greater distances with both eyes without eye fatigue.</p>



<p>The Merger LRF XP35 is equipped with Pulsar&#8217;s signature European-made Lynred sensor with NETD &lt;25 mK thermal sensitivity. This guarantees a highly detailed image with superb sharpness and quality even in adverse conditions. The new model comes with a built-in laser rangefinder that measures distances of up to 1,000 yards. With a detection range of up to 1,500 yards, these binoculars enable users to assess environments and find heat signatures quickly and without error.</p>



<p>Like all models in the Merger line, the Merger LRF XP35 is powered by a dual battery system – one internal and one replaceable – providing up to 9 hours of continuous operation.</p>



<p>To learn more about the Merger LRF XP35, please visit this <a href="https://www.pulsar-nv.com/glo/products/33/thermal-imaging-binoculars/merger-lrf-xp/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.pulsar-nv.com/glo/products/33/thermal-imaging-binoculars/merger-lrf-xp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">link</a>.</p>

That’s why Speer is a top choice of law enforcement and military professionals,” said Vice President of Government Sales David Leis.&nbsp;“Speer continues to supply our U.S. DOD and unified forces with superior products for their efforts in protecting U.S. global interests.”</p>



<p>Speer Gold Dot G2 offers the ultimate performance in duty ammunition, thanks to an exclusive nose design. Instead of a large hollow-point cavity, Gold Dot G2 has a shallow dish filled with a high-performance elastomer. On impact, the material is forced into engineered internal fissures to start the expansion process. The result is extremely uniform expansion, better separation of the petals, and more consistent penetration across barrier types through duty handguns.</p>



<p>Speer Ammunition can be found at dealers nationwide and online. For more information on all products from Speer, visit&nbsp;<a href="http://www.speer.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.speer.com</a>.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.strikeindustries.com/si-smc-bravo.html" target="_blank" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.strikeindustries.com/si-smc-bravo.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">Strike Modular Chassis (SMC) &#8211; BRAVO for SIG Sauer P320 by Strike Industries</a> is a new lite version of their modular P320 (SMC Alpha) chassis developed with user feedback and offered at a fraction of the Alpha&#8217;s price.</p>



<p>The new SMC Bravo is made of Polymer Extreme which is durable and lightweight — intended to receive P320 FCU&#8217;s and slides to complete the entire ensemble. This time around users can fully utilize their P320 optic-ready slides to effortlessly install their red dot sights. In terms of upgraded features, SI says the Bravo&#8217;s ergonomics have improved with a textured grip which now includes a built-in flared magwell to assist with quick and smooth reloads.</p>



<p>The optional Ambidextrous Side Charging Handle with a Slide Cover Mount for the P320 is also compatible, so Bravo users can decide which side they want to rack the slide with. This chassis also accepts a wider array of P320 magazines. Users will also enjoy the integrated gas pedal above the Picatinny rail that helps fight muzzle flip and allows faster follow-up shots.</p>

<p>Derived from the SMC Alpha, the Bravo remains consistent as it comes with the SMC Rear Module Backstrap molded onto the new chassis as one solid piece. It offers users rear ambidextrous QD sockets and a Picatinny rail mount, perfect for attaching various accessories like the Strike Dual Folding Stock/Brace. The ambi QD sockets in the rear can be used with slings and can even have a lanyard or paracord strung through it for easy access from storage.</p>

<p>Federal Ammunition launches an all-new product line: Fusion Tipped. The design offers the same great terminal performance as the original bonded soft points but with a polymer tip that increases ballistic coefficient, flattens trajectories, and boosts energy for better accuracy and extended effective range. The all-new product line will be available in nine offerings ranging from 300 Blackout to 30-06 Sprg. and more.</p>



<p>“Following its initial release, Federal Fusion ammunition quickly gained a reputation for its exceptional performance and reliability,” said Eric Miller, Federal’s Centerfire Product Line Manager. “Over the past 18 years, we have expanded Fusion into a large list of calibers and bullet weights, now totaling more than 50 product offerings across three different product families. This has allowed hunters and shooters to experience the benefits of bonded-core technology across a broad spectrum of firearms and game species.”</p>



<p>“Rifle ammunition featuring polymer tips is nothing new. Yet it has revolutionized the shooting industry with its innovative design and exceptional performance,” said Jake Burns, Federal’s Centerfire Rifle Engineering Manager. “The aerodynamic properties of polymer-tipped rifle ammunition contribute to improved flight characteristics and stability. This feature is especially valuable for long-range shooting, where maintaining stability and accuracy over varying environmental conditions is essential.”</p>



<p>According to Miller and Burns, the all-new Fusion Tipped design offers the same great terminal performance as the original, but with a polymer tip that reduces wind drift and drop, as well as delivering more energy downrange. Paired with a skived nose cavity, the polymer tip also helps initiate consistent, lethal expansion. All this increases ballistic coefficient, flattens trajectories, and boosts energy for better accuracy and extended effective range.</p>



<p>The all-new Fusion Tipped initial offerings will include 300 BLK 190-grain, 6.5 PRC 140-grain, 6.5 Creedmoor 140-grain, 270 Win. 150-grain, 7MM Rem. Mag. 175-grain, 7MM PRC 175-grain, 308 Win. 180-grain, 30-06 Sprg. 180-grain, and 300 Win. Mag. 180-grain. Its 20-count boxes range in price from $44.99 to $81.99 depending on cartridge choice.</p>
