POF-USA REVOLUTION (7.62 NATO)

Brand new from POF-USA is a .308 battle rifle that handles like a 5.56, because it’s the same size and weight as one. This isn’t a stripped down rifle that’s saving weight by making extra cuts or lacking the battle rifle features you’re accustomed to. The Revolution actually uses many 5.56 AR parts which allows for a shorter overall receiver size and reduced weight. The Revolution receiver size, from pin to pin, shares the same dimensions as an AR-15.

This is NOT a small frame .308, it’s smaller! The Revolution features many 5.56 parts; such as charging handle, bolt carrier, roller cam pin, buffer, heat-sink barrel nut, handguard and 5-position gas piston operating system. The barrel extension, bolt assembly, upper and lower receiver are the exact same size as those on an AR15. This is truly an AR15 that shoots in .308!

Weighing in at 7.3 lbs the Revolution features POF-USA’s new Edge Handguard with four built-in QD mounts. It’s loaded with features such as a fully ambidextrous billet receiver set, NP3 coated bolt carrier group, 5-position adjustable gas piston, single stage match grade trigger and more. You may have just found your “one gun.” MSRP: $2669.99.

ACCURACY SOLUTIONS BIPODEXt

With BipodeXt you will have a rifle shooting experience unlike anything before. This revolutionary new product provides shooters with unmatched stability and accuracy.

To understand the principles behind the design of BipodeXt it helps to visualize a rifle as a lever and its bipod as the fulcrum on which the lever rests. While BipodeXt is not utilized to lift weights an analogy from the lever/fulcrum axiom can still be drawn. As for the lever, the closer the fulcrum is to either end of the lever, the more leverage the user obtains. As for BipodeXt, the further out the bipod is placed the more stable the sighting down the rifle’s scope becomes.

Some BipodeXt models, such as the BXT 40X3, provide for a bipod’s resting point to be placed beyond the muzzle of most rifles, thus further minimizing movement through the rifle and impressively reducing reticle drift. BipodeXt can be extended and retracted giving the shooter a highly adjustable and customizable resting point. Due to its round design BipodeXt can quickly correct canting by simply operating its clamp’s lever. This also allows for an unprecedented 360 degrees rotation of the bipod in relation to the rifle. Most models weigh approximately 1lb.

HOGUE INC. ANNOUNCES LASER ENHANCED GRIPS FOR SMITH & WESSON K/L AND J FRAME REVOLVERS

Hogue Laser-Enhanced Grips

Hogue, Inc. is proud to announce the newest additions to their growing line of Laser-Enhanced (LE) Grips. Revolver grips for Smith & Wesson’s round butt K/L and J Frames are now in stock. “For years our customers have been asking for Hogue Grips with lasers,” said LE Grip designer and managing partner Jim Bruhns. “We have expanded our line of Hogue LE Grips to include models for Smith & Wesson K, L and J Frame owners in direct response to customer demand.”

Hogue’s LE Grips are the first handgun laser sighting system on the market based on a fully programmable, digitally controlled microprocessor circuit. Hogue’s designers capitalized on the advantage by programming three operating modes (steady, flashing or stealth target) and four laser brightness levels into the LE Grip’s circuit. They also tapped into sophisticated power management routines to ensure long life from two common CR- 2032 batteries hidden under the grip on the non-laser side–an important design feature enabling battery changes that won’t take the laser out of zero. Each LE Grip is bore-sighted at the factory while fine windage and elevation adjustments are accessible via small set screws. All of the Hogue LE Grip’s programming features are accessible via pressure-sensitive programming buttons.

The Hogue LE Grips for S&W revolvers are truly unique; the company’s engineers embedded the system’s 630-670nm

Hogue LE Grips are manufactured in their family-owned and operated USA facilities under the direct supervision of the Hogue family.

Hogue HandALL Beavertail Grip Sleeves

The new grip sleeves are designed to fit specific polymer pistols now on the market. “Polymer pistols do not have removable grips that you can simply replace,” said grip designer Matt Hogue. “The solution for many of these pistols is our new HandALL Beavertail Grip Sleeves.”

The Beavertail Grip Sleeve line has been engineered with models for precision fits on specific firearms. The initial offerings in this series have sleeves designed for perfect fits on three sizes of polymer firearms. The first offering precisely fits Smith & Wesson’s M&P 9mm and 40 Shield and Ruger’s LC9. The second sleeve fits Glock’s 42 and 43. The final sleeve is designed for Smith & Wesson’s M&P 45 Shield and Kahr Arms’ P9, P40, CW9 and CW40. While each sleeve has been created for a precise fit on specific polymer framed firearms, they also alternatively fit many other similarly sized firearms with a fully functional and aesthetic fit. “These sleeves also provide a very nice fit for many pistols that may not have any other alternative available on the market,” said Hogue.

The Beavertail Grip Sleeves are installed by slipping them over the frame of the firearm until seated into perfect position. Once installed, the HandALL sleeve provides a single finger groove for instinctive handling of the firearm. The finger groove leads into a gentle palm swell that has been carefully designed to fit naturally in the hand. The beavertail built into the grip sleeve rises high along the back strap of the frame giving full rubber contact with the hand allowing a higher hand-placement on the grip without the fear of the slide biting the skin between the thumb and the trigger finger. In addition to protection and comfort, the beavertail also cushions the hand during recoil.

The HandALL is built from a long-lasting durablethermo plastic elastomer compound. This rubber ages very gracefully and keeps a firm, tacky feel throughout the life of the grip. It will not harden, split or crack with age or usage. The grip sleeve is textured with Hogue’s familiar Cobblestone texture, a series of small circular bumps that provide an efficient non-slip, non-irritating grip on the rubber. Hogue’s HandALL Beavertail Grips Sleeves have an MSRP of $9.95 for black and $10.95 for OD green, flat dark Earth, pink and purple.

Hogue grip sleeves are manufactured in their family-owned and operated facilities under the direct supervision of the Hogue family.

Hogue, Inc. supports local dealers and encourages customers to purchase Hogue products locally. For more information on these products, please call Hogue directly at 1-800-438-4747 or visit www.hogueinc.com to find a Hogue dealer near you.

JP ENTERPRISES

GMR-15

The GMR-15 is a massive redesign of our very popular GMR-13 Glock magazine carbine receiver. This new iteration now incorporates last-round lockback and more competition-ready features such as a flared mag. well and easier-to-use mag. release. Like its predecessor, it also utilizes our proprietary 9mm bolt assembly and Silent Captured spring, making for a highly reliable and accurate carbine. With the GMR-15™ also comes a new dedicated 9mm upper receiver with dual top- and side-charge handles.

The GMR-15 is available for custom rifle or upper assembly builds or in a number of ready-to-ship Ready Rifle configurations. Complete upper and lower receiver kits will be available soon for home builders.

VMOS Bolt Carriers

JP Variable Mass Operating System (VMOS) bolt carriers are designed to work in tandem with our Silent Captured Spring to provide tunable mass regulation to rifles in need of it. Geared especially for suppressed shooting, VMOS carriers overcome the excessive fouling and constant need to adjust gas settings native to suppressed rifles. This is thanks to the configurable, reciprocating masses that ensure consist function and reliable deadblow. VMOS carriers are also ideal for exotic caliber rifles or those without an adjustable gas system.

Steel VMOS carriers are available for both largeand small-frame rifles. An aluminum large-frame version is also available for high-performance competition builds.

Microfit Takedown Pins

Since the release of our original JP Tension Pin almost 20 years ago, sloppy receiver fit has been a JP obsession. The new Microfit™ Takedown Pins offer are a tool-less solution to this problem with a premium polished appearance. Oversized pins reduce the slop in overly loose receivers that can reduce rifle accuracy. Undersized pins provide easier takedown for tight receivers such as those with heavy Cerakote buildup.

Microfit Takedown Pins are available individually or in standard, oversized, and undersized sets and now come standard in all JP rifles.

Semi-Auto Case Gauges

Even in the same caliber, the ammo requirements between bolt guns and self-loaders are stark. JP Semi-Auto Case Gauges are the first gauges to acknowledge and account for the more particular ammo preferences of the semi-auto platforms. The gauges guaranty function in any self-loading rifle by verifying that every cartridge will fire to a minimumdepth SAAMI chamber. So, if it fits, it shoots.

Semi-Auto Case Gauges are available in .223 and .308 with more caliber offerings coming soon.

.875 Detent Adjustable Gas Blocks (JPGS-10D)

The incomparable level of refinement provided by an adjustable gas system can be undercut by the possibility of gas setting drift. The latest in a long line of JP adjustable gas systems, this new click-adjustable gas block ensures solid retention of gas setting with an easy, reproducible interface. The JPGS-10D model was designed to serve the neglected .875 barrel contour common to Armalite rifles.

Minimized, detent-adjustable JP gas systems are also available in .750 and soon, .936. Locking set screw version is also available in a variety of profiles.

NIKON

NIKON DEBUTS BLACK RIFLESCOPE SERIES

Nikon doubles down on its commitment to American shooters with the introduction of the new BLACK riflescope series—a new category of dedicated optics with models engineered for both precision longrange rifle and action-shooting AR enthusiasts.

For the precision rifle shooter, Nikon’s BLACK X1000 is offered in a range of 4-16×50 and 6-24×50 models with X-MRAD or X-MOA tactical style reticles synchronized to elevated windage and elevation turrets. Accurate and repeatable, the adjustments enable precise dialing of elevation come ups and wind compensation, while each of the new reticle designs present the shooter with a visually clean, yet highly functional and advanced tool for estimating range or maintaining holdovers.

Shooters looking for rapid-action targeting capability with AR/MSR platforms can rely on the new BLACK FORCE1000 1-4×24 riflescope with capped turrets and SpeedForce reticle. When the riflescope is dialed down to its true 1x magnification, the reticle’s illuminated double horseshoe center portion serves as quick reference for reaction-speed target acquisition and engagement, as well as for establishing moving target leads. The SpeedForce MOA reticle also integrates BDC circles and hash marks for precise intermediate-range target holdovers.

Aimpoint

These two products, when paired together are perfect for multiple applications. The Micro T-2 (AR Ready version refers to the type of mounting systems it comes with – a 39mm spacer and LRP, Lever Release Picatinny, base attachment), has on 1x optical magnification but increases to 6x when paired with the 6X Magnifier (6XMag-1). The 6XMag-1 is great for use mounted on a rifle or carbine or as a handheld observation device.

Barrett

BORS (Barrett Optical Ranging System) is an integrated ballistics computer that mounts directly on the riflescope and couples to the elevation knob.  Drawing from several tables and taking into account a number of real-time external factors, it automatically gives the shooter the exact yardage at which a bullet will hit.  Once the distance to the target has been estimated,  the computer can be put into action by simply turning the elevation knob until the LCD displays the target’s range.  Three internal sensors automatically calculate the ballistic solution. BORS compensates for temperature, changes in air pressure, and aiming at an upward or downward angle. BORS even determines if the rifle is canted. BORS kit includes the proprietary Barrett Ballistic Software  (requires Windows XP or higher, and is not directly MAC OS compatible) that’s pre-programmed with a library of common projectiles and velocities selected by Barrett. It also includes a BORS data cable that allows the user to program custom loads on a personal computer and transfer them directly to BORS.

The 360° VFG is a brand new evolutionary product which gives the shooter the ability to adjust their vertical foregrip 360 degrees, at any angle with a simple locking handle.

Barrett Announces New M107A1 Rifle

Barrett, a company internationally known for providing high-end firearms, optics, and training, introduces to the commercial market the next generation of the U.S. Army’s M107 rifle-the Barrett M107A1. At four pounds lighter, the M107A1 offers all the performance of its predecessor and is now suppressor-ready from the factory. This rifle is built on decades of success with the Barrett Model 82A1/M107 rifle and feedback from users operating these systems on the battlefield around the world. Initial visible differences of the M107A1 include the flat dark earth, ultra-hard PVD coating that increases protection from the elements and decreases the need for lubrication. Also distinctive is the round muzzle brake that is designed to interface with Barrett’s new .50 BMG suppressor which reduces firing signature. There is also a thermal-guard cheek piece that has been added to increase the user’s comfort during extreme heat or cold. An all new aluminum upper receiver and select titanium components contribute to the M107A1’s lighter weight.

Kruger Unveils Gen II Dual Tactical Sight

Kruger Optical has just unveiled its new Dual Tactical Sight (DTS) Gen II. The patent-pending dual-function sight created a stir when the Gen I prototype was introduced at the 2010 SHOT Show. Since then, Kruger’s engineers have been busy refining and perfecting the scope in response to market and end-user feedback. The resulting Gen II product is shorter, lighter and stronger, with improved functionality. Designed for complex engagement situations, the DTS incorporates two separate sighting systems into a single scope. The scope has two modes: a high-resolution 1x reflex sight with red-dot reticle for close quarter engagement, plus a 2-8×40 long-range zoom sight with Mil-dot reticle for long-range sighting. The product includes two separate aiming systems, each viewed through the same sight window. The user can switch between modes with the flip of a lever, with no head movement and without looking away from the target. The product has been designed for the extreme demands of the tactical professional who requires one optical sighting device that can be used for close or long range target engagement. The Gen II version incorporates several significant improvements over the original GEN I model. It features a unique, ultra-strong carbon fiber molded body, which is shorter, lighter and more durable than the GEN I version. It also has unlimited eye relief in reflex mode, with a large viewing window for extremely fast target acquisition. Unlike other dual-function systems on the market, the DTS does not require any bullet-drop calculations when changing modes, thus saving time and preventing errors. The sight features a patent-pending, extended range elevation system for linelong-range impact adjustments, with resettable clicks and a Geneva-style revolution counter. The scope’s rectangular shape and square viewing window are also key to the product’s performance. The square shape allows for an extremely wide field of view and large viewing window, making it easier to acquire and maintain a target. A zoom lever makes magnification adjustments quick and easy. All controls on the product are ergonomically designed to be user-friendly and easily adjusted without breaking line of sight. The scope’s illumination system features six brightness levels for varying light conditions. Each brightness setting alternates with an “off” setting, so the user can turn the scope off and then immediately return to the previous setting. Other features include: locking 1/4 windage and elevation adjustments with “unlocked” indicator, mil-dot reticle calibrated at 8x, Picatinny accessory rail attachment and an integrated mount system. The new scope is shockproof, waterproof, fog-proof and weights just 30 ounces. For more information on this revolutionary new scope please contact Kruger Optical, Inc., Dept. SAR, 251 West Barclay Drive, P.O. 532, Sisters, OR 97759. Phone: (888) 526-7779. Fax: (541) 549-0769. Their website is www.krugeroptical.com.

The ISSC-Austria M22 pistol with the new threaded barrel and the Gemtech Alpine suppressor offer target shooters the most efficient baffle design for a .22 LR suppressor while maintaining ease of disassembly (only tool needed is a U.S. coin, such as a nickel). Built using the combination of a Lothar Walther match barrel, adjustable sights and a very crisp 4-lb. single-action trigger, the M22 with the threaded barrel for the addition of accessories, such as the Gemtech Alpine, is the new standard in training pistols. MSRP starts at $389.95 for the M22 pistol and $425 for the Gemtech Alpine suppressor.

This all-metal rifle gives the target shooter a “centerfire” feel even though it is chambered for the economical .22 LR cartridge. Using Gemtech’s patented Quickmount system, the G5-22 has all the same features of the 5.56mm G5 but made for the .22 LR cartridge. The G5-22 was further designed for superb group size and zero first round pop. MSRP on the ISSC MSR MK22 rifle is $569.95 and the Gemtech G5-22 suppressor is $495.

Kel-Tec Introduces New Bullpup Shotgun

Kel-Tec has just announced the introduction of its new bullpup style shotgun called the KSG. This previously rumored shotgun is now a reality. The KSG is their first entry into the shotgun market. The size, shape and design are similar to the currently available Kel-Tec RFB rifle, but the KSG ejects downward, instead of forward. The KSG weighs 6.9 pounds and is as compact as legally possible with a 26.1 inch overall length and an 18.5 inch cylinder bore barrel. Even with this compact size, the internal dual tube magazines hold an impressive 15 rounds of 12 gauge 2-3/4 inch rounds (7 per tube and 1 in the chamber). The simple and reliable pump action feeds from either the left or right tube. The feed side is manually selected by a lever located just behind the trigger guard. The lever can be positioned in the center detent in order to easily clear the chamber without feeding another round from either magazine or to load single specialty rounds. A cross bolt style safety blocks the sear, and the pump release lever is located in front of the trigger guard. The pump includes an under Picatinny rail for the mounting of a forward grip, light or laser. The included top Picatinny sight rail will accept many types of optics or iron sights. Forward and rear sling loops are built in, and a basic sling is included. The soft rubber butt pad helps to tame recoil. Retail price has not been set as of this writing but is said to be in the $800 range. For more information you can contact them at Kel-Tec CNC Industries, Inc., Dept.

Mossberg Now Has a New LBA Trigger

For 90 years Mossberg has been a leader in the design and manufacturing of firearms in the hunting, shooting, military and law enforcement community. This year marks another great year for Mossberg as they introduce the new Lightning Bolt Action (LBA) Trigger System for their centerfire bolt action rifles – enhancing the performance and accuracy while keeping safety in the forefront of its development. With its distinctive skeletonized lightning bolt trigger blade, the Lightning Bolt Action Trigger System offers the best in form and functionality, giving the shooter the flexibility of adjusting the trigger pull without the need of taking their rifle to a gunsmith. A simple twist of a standard screwdriver enables the LBA trigger to adjust from 2 to 7lbs. The design of the LBA trigger’s sear engagement offers a truly crisp, creep-free trigger, optimizing accuracy. The LBA trigger blade blocks the sear from releasing the striker unless the blade is fully depressed, even at the lightest adjustment setting. The trigger assembly is machined from aircraft-grade aluminum then hard-coat anodized to military specifications, preventing corrosion and minimizing wear over time. With Mossberg’s extensive line of 4×4 and 100ATR bolt action rifles, you can expect to find the new LBA Trigger System in over 100 models in 2009. The LBA Trigger System is taking Mossberg’s line of firearms to the next level in accuracy and performance. For more information on this as well as all of their current line of firearms, please contact them at O.F. Mossberg and Son’s, Inc., Dept. SAR, 7 Grasso Avenue, North Haven, CT 06473.

New Fiocchi Frangible .223 Ammo for Training

Industry innovator Fiocchi Ammunition is proud to announce a new .223 Remington 45-grain frangible cartridge. Part of a new frangible, non-toxic line of quality cartridge products, this innovative round is ideal for the training market, and in particular for indoor shooting ranges, close-quarter steel plate shooting, and for use by police departments in tactical training scenarios. This new Fiocchi .223 Rem. cartridge, while part of the competitively priced Rifle Shooting Dynamics line, does not skimp on the quality of its ingredients. The cartridge features well-known and respected SinterFire frangible, lead-free bullets. Fiocchi chose the copper/tin composite SinterFire bullet for this cartridge as it yields the proven benefits of functional reliability (due to the bullet’s molded-in taper crimp), along with uniform dimensions and weight, that all work together to give the user the added attributes of superior accuracy and consistent performance. SinterFire bullets are ideal for training, since they contain no jacketing or plating, and will literally crumble to dust upon impact with hard surfaces. Since its name and thus its more than 130-year reputation rest on each round, Fiocchi strives to achieve ammunition perfection with every round it produces. Fiocchi’s .223 Rem. 45-grain frangible round is also the fastest cartridge in the company’s entire .223 Rem. product range. Leaving the muzzle at a sizzling 3,300 fps while generating a relatively mild 1,087 ft./lbs of energy, the new round is still moving at a very brisk 2,812 fps at 100 yards while putting out 790 ft./lbs. energy. At 300 yards, the frangible bullet is still racing along at 1,976 fps and producing 390 ft./lbs. energy. While at the maximum practical target distance of 500 yards, the round delivers a more than adequate 1,329 fps velocity and 176 ft./lbs. energy.
