New Tactical Muzzle Brake from Brownells

Brownells new 1/2”-28 thread, .22 caliber, Tactical Muzzle Brake solves a very real problem for shooters using the AR-15. No one associates the .223 with crushing recoil but any muzzle rise affects the second shot of a double tap; a standard occurrence in 3-Gun and multi-gun matches or when follow up shots are required on varmints. The new Tactical Muzzle Brake features 16 oblong ports plus an expansion chamber for lots of “wall” area for powder gases to act against. All that surface area helps reduce recoil and muzzle rise to reduce sight recovery time between shots. The Tactical Muzzle Brake is machined from solid 4140 carbon steel bar stock and hardened to Rc 38-42 to resist blast erosion. The finish is a long-wearing, matte, black oxide that blends well with most barrels. With ports all around, indexing is not needed making installation easy. Brownells is the world’s largest supplier of firearm parts, gunsmithing tools, equipment and accessories. Stocking more than 30,000 items, the company supplies armorers, gunsmiths, and shooters worldwide. All of their products are backed by a 100% satisfaction, unconditional, lifetime guarantee.

New “Front Mount” Night Vision from NIVISYS Industries

NIVISYS Industries announces a Gen. III day to night-vision conversion system that accurately works at real world tactical speed. NIVISYS Industries now has a new state-of-the-art clip-on night vision unit. Known by model number NSV-80 the new unit simply, quickly and accurately clips onto the 1913 Picatinny rail in front of a telescopic sight to turn a daylight system into a night fighting system. Additionally, the NSV-80 (night vision sight) does not require operators to have error prone, separate night and day zeros on their telescopic sights. The NSV-80 simply mounts in front of most telescopic sights via a quick-detach Picatinny compatible clip on mount. While not always required, the NSV-80 also features a rear rubber seal (Litegard) that fits between the scope’s objective lens (or sunshade) and the NSV-80 to eliminate or limit peripheral light. The NSV-80 internal optics makes an accurate full-field view possible even if it is not in alignment with the telescopic sight’s objective lens. In other words, if the reticle is in view, the NSV-80 reticle is still on target without further adjustment. No need for potential zeroing errors when converting from day to night operations. NIVISYS’ NSV-80 provides a clear and precise parallax-proof conversion from day optics to dark time without any scope adjustments. The optics system and housing of the NSV-80 is made by Zeiss Optics. Then the unit is sent to the folks at NIVISYS where their superior-quality generation III electronics and intensifier tube are installed. The unit is so ergonomically friendly that it can be mounted and operated in total darkness (no need for any red flashlights, etc.) and even with the operator wearing gloves. Simply clip on and turn on. The NSV-80 is 1X and operates on two standard AA batteries. For more information contact NIVISYS Industries LLC, Dept.

Sentry Solutions Armorers Kit

Sentry Solutions, Ltd., the dry lubrication leader in the military, law enforcement, firearms, and outdoor sporting markets has combined the essentials in oil-free lubrication for firearms and sporting equipment in one convenient and affordable kit. Sentry Solutions’ Armorer’s Kit contains Smooth-Kote, BP2000 Powder, Hi-Slip Grease and Tuf-Cloth to treat 30 or more firearms or loads of sporting gear, plus applicators, gloves, instructions and more. The kit provides users with the latest in dry lubrication technology that enhances ballistic performance of firearms as it cleans and protects. Sentry Solutions products use graphite, molybdenum disulphide and proprietary lubricants in their products that smooth and protect metal surfaces at the microscopic level thus preventing gear from becoming the dust magnets as seen with oil products. Smooth-Kote is a self-cleaning dry lubrication that gives gun metal a grime-reducing, non-stick coating so dirt, residue, and fouling are easily brushed away. Besides protecting the bore from fouling, Smooth-Kote in gun trigger mechanisms smoothes the trigger pull and enhances accuracy and performance in handguns, shotguns, rifles and muzzleloaders. BP2000 Powder is applied by rubbing into the metal surfaces where it works microscopically. Used by military marksmen for barrel break-ins and conditioning, it decreases the number of rounds required to season a rifle barrel. Hi-Slip Grease is a synthetic blend containing the finest micro-bonding lubricants available today. The grease is a thin film that prevents galling and corrosion of all metals including titanium, stainless steel and aluminum under high loads and extreme conditions. The Sentry Solution Tuf-Cloth is a 12 x 12 inch lint-free cloth impregnated with a water displacing micro-bonding agent that provides a dry shield against rust, friction and wear. It is the choice for our military forces currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Armorer’s Kit comes complete with cleaning accessories such as gloves, cotton-tipped applicators, pipe cleaners, application brushes, patches, alcohol pads and detailed instructions. Sentry Solutions’ Armorer’s Kit retails for $39.95. For more information you can contact them at Sentry Solutions Limited, Dept. SAR, P.O. Box 214, Wilton, NH 03086. Phone: (603) 654-3001.

DoubleStar Introduces New “Oval” AR Handguards

With its trademark oval shape, this two-piece four-rail handguard system should prove to be a favorite among smaller-handed shooters. However, those with large hands will also find the handguard easy to grip and maneuver. People with smaller hands feel like the round handguard systems on the market today don’t fit their hands very well. The new AR oval handguard just fits and feels better in your hand. The oval handguard is made of aircraft-grade 6061 T6 aluminum extruded to provide a lightweight advantage that still offers extreme strength. The mil-spec 1913 Picatinny rails will accept attachments from nearly every manufacturer, so pack on your sites, grips, scopes, lasers – whatever you need. The handguards’ snap-on installation has a spring pressure that forces it against the front handguard cap. The tight fit allows no side-to-side movement. DoubleStar started working on the oval AR handguard back in November after a group of law enforcement officers complained about the current market offerings. The handguard currently is available only in a carbine AR version, but a rifle model should be available soon. A free-float version is expected to be available later this year. For more information please contact DoubleStar, Dept. SAR, P.O. Box 130, Winchester, KY 40391. Phone: (859) 745-1757. Fax: (859) 745-4638. They can be found on the web at www.star15.com.

ATI now has the GSG-5PK Variation of the GSG-5 Rifle

American Tactical Imports, Inc., the world wide importer and exclusive overseas representative for several manufacturers of high quality shooting sports and law enforcement products, introduces the new GSG-5PK pistol model. The new GSG-5PK pistol is a .22 Long Rifle HV caliber with a barrel length of 4.52 inches with a total length of 15.275 inches and a total height of 10 inches. It weighs in at a dainty 5.2 pounds. It has an alloy frame construction and features a magazine safety and click-adjustable target sight. At a MSRP of $549.95, the GSG-5PK pistol is the perfect partner to the original GSG-5 rifle model. The GSG-5PK is a remake of the H&K MP5K-PDW (Personal Defense Weapon). The MP5K-PDW is a compact submachine gun designed for vehicle operators, air crew members, security details, and others who require a small but powerful weapon. While comparable in performance to the full size GSG-5, the size and weight of the GSG-5PK make this weapon the ideal choice when a rifle or full-sized submachine gun is unmanageable and a handgun is a poor compromise. Because the GSG-5PK is chambered in .22 cal., it is the ideal choice for plinking or training without the high cost of ammunition. American Tactical is the exclusive U.S. importer of the GSG – German Sports Guns. The GSG-5 is a world innovation, the first semiautomatic rifle in the legendary design of the MP5. There has not been a more sought after product to hit the market in the firearms industry than the GSG-5, and now with the introduction of the GSG-5PK, things just keep getting better and better.

New “Universal” Bullet Puller from Forster

Every reloader is eventually confronted with the problem of having to pull bullets from loaded cases either to correct an error or to modify a load using a different bullet or powder. Pulling bullets isn’t always as easy as it sounds, particularly when the only available bullet puller won’t fit the press or when the diameter of the loaded bullet won’t fit the puller. Forster Products now comes to the rescue. Their new Universal Bullet Puller fits not only Forster’s patented Co-Ax Press for which it was originally designed, but it will fit virtually any standard reloading press with a 7/8 x 14 inch thread. It makes pulling bullets much easier, quicker and safer than using a hammer style puller. To ensure true universal function, the Universal Bullet Puller uses diameter-specific Bullet Puller Collets to hold the bullet, which are available in twenty-one different sizes from .17 to .458. So, almost any caliber of bullet can be held securely by simply tightening the collet screw with a 9/16 inch wrench. Changing calibers is as simple as changing collets. Each Universal Bullet Puller is supplied with a modified version of Forster Products’ exclusive Cross Bolt Locking Ring which locks the puller securely into the Co-Ax press. Caliber-specific Bullet Puller Collets can be ordered separately. For more information or to place an order please contact them at Forster Products Inc., Dept. SAR, 310 East Lanark Avenue, Lanark, IL 61046. Phone: (815) 493-6360. Fax: (815) 493-2371. Website: www.forsterproducts.com.
