Elite Iron Introduces New Extreme Duty Suppressors

The demand for high performance weapons systems is spawning a whole new generation of advanced armament solutions for today’s elite military, law enforcement and discerning civilian marksmen. To meet the challenge, Elite Iron, a high end custom weapons systems and sound suppressor manufacturer in Potomac, Montana, has announced the development of three new extreme duty suppressors. The Bravo SD, Sierra SD and the SEAR, all three over-the-barrel mounted suppressors configured to reduce the overall length of the weapons, are now available for purchase from Elite Iron or any one of their many dealers. Based on real world input, the Elite Iron Bravo SD sound suppressor has been designed for shooters who need significantly reduced sound pressure and increased accuracy for a more compact .30 caliber rifle configuration. The SD stands for Special Deployment for good reason as the Bravo SD adds only 6 inches to the overall length of a rifle because of the unique over-the-barrel design. The matching muzzle brake allows for a 2-point contact that provides more stable barrel dynamics. The Bravo SD tube is made of 304 stainless steel. Internal parts are CNC-machined from solid 17/4PH stainless steel billets and are 100% TIG welded for added strength. The suppressor weighs only 26 ounces and has an overall length of 10 inches and diameter of 1.625 inches. The Bravo SD notably lowers the sound pressure level by 34-35 db. The Sierra SD was created for .338 Lapua chambered rifles and has the same built-in toughness, structural integrity, and increased accuracy as the Bravo SD. The Sierra SD weighs just 30 ounces, is 12 inches long, and has an exterior diameter of 1.625 inches. The 2-point contact (with matching muzzle brake) and over-the-barrel design, only adds 7.75 inches to the overall length of the weapon. Using the muzzle brake only also reduces recoil significantly for both the Bravo SD and Sierra SD. Sierra SD sound pressure level reduction is an impressive 33 db. The SEAR (Special Engagement Assault Rifle) suppressor is custom built to a host weapon supplied by a client or provided Elite Iron. The SEAR is also an over-the-barrel design for rifles from .22 to .30 caliber that require maximum sound level suppression. The .30 caliber version weighs 30 ounces, is 13 inches long, 1.625 inches in diameter, and reduces sound pressure level by 35 db. For critical shooting scenarios, the over-the-barrel Bravo SD, Sierra SD, and SEAR offer excellent sound signature reduction, increased accuracy and shorter overall rifle length.

Steyr Announces Long Range SSG 08 in .338 Lapua Magnum

Steyr Arms has substantially upped the ante on its extraordinary long-range tactical rifle, the SSG 08, with the introduction of a brand new adaptation chambered in the ultimate long-range tactical round, the .338 Lapua Magnum. The rifles are currently in route to the U.S. and will be available this summer. Introduced to the American long-range shooting market in 2009, the SSG 08 was designed to the specifications of Austria’s EKO COBRA anti-terrorism unit. The SSG 08 is based on Steyr’s unique Safe Bolt System (SBS) action, which is bedded in a high-grade aluminum stock and mated to Steyr’s direct trigger, legendary for its crisp, clean and repeatable break. The skeletonized stock includes a UIT rail along the length of the fore end, a built-in bipod post, multiple mounting points for user-customized Picatinny rail combinations and a fully enclosed detachable-box magazine. The butt of the stock folds for transport and features an adjustable cheek piece, an adjustable butt plate, and an integrated, finely adjustable rear-elevation pod. The cold-hammer-forged barrel measures 27.17 inches to maximize the potential of the .338 cartridge, and its 1:9 twist rate will stabilize bullets up to and including the increasingly popular 300-gr. HPBT Secnar projectile. The action, magazines and stock were lengthened to accommodate the dimensions of the .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge. Due to the SSG 08’s extreme accuracy potential and ability to maintain supersonic speeds at distances in excess of 1,500 meters with the .338 Lapua chambering, a 20-MOA declination scope base will also be included to make use of your favorite long-range optic. The .338 Lapua Magnum version of the SSG 08 also includes a newly designed heavy-duty bipod. The suggested retail price is $6,795. For more information contact Steyr Arms, Dept. SAR, P.O.

The REC7 rifle continues to impress with its enhanced reliability, accuracy and durability. Barrett continues to expand this product line by adding the popular 5.56 NATO chambering cartridge to the lineup.

The two-position (suppressed/unsuppressed), nitride finish gas plug is corrosion-resistant and easily manipulated with gloves. The gas block acts as an extended rail, providing ample space for mounting optics and accessories. The REC7 rifle’s forged 7075 aluminum upper and lower receivers are type 3 hardcoat anodized. The lower houses a dependable Mil-Spec single-stage trigger. The Magpul enhanced trigger guard allows easy access to the trigger in cold weather or with tactical gloves. The upper supports a free-floating, 16-inch hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrel with M4 feed ramps machined into both the receiver and the barrel extension. Each barrel is proofed and magnetic-particle tested for quality assurance. A Mil-Spec A2 flash hider protects the muzzle. The REC7 rifles now include two 30-round magazines – either Magpul PMAG 5.56 NATO or Barrett 6.8, three rail covers and tactical soft case.

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.

DPMS Introduces the “Pardus” CAR Stock

Make your shooting experience more enjoyable with the addition of an innovative new buttstock design from DPMS. Made of space age, lightweight, fiber reinforced black Zytel, the buttstock has four integral slots for sling attachment in addition to the standard sling swivel making it completely customizable to the needs of both left and right handed shooters. Customize your length of pull with the 6-position buffer tube. Both the standard 6-position tube and the Mil-Spec tube are available with this design. Adjusting the tube with cold or gloved fingers just got easier too as DPMS has designed a more ergonomically shaped latch with fully integrated finger grooves. Shooters will also notice the curved, saw-tooth buttplate. The curved plate allows the shooter to pull the rifle to the shoulder more securely, providing for a tighter cheek weld to the comfortably flared, Monte Carlo-style cheek rest. Law enforcement and military personnel who routinely wear Kevlar will appreciate this insightful design element. One final design element that everyone will appreciate, especially those who have inadvertently dropped the rifle on its buttstock, is the reinforced area surrounding the latch pin. This reinforced area will provide additional strength to the latch pin and help to resist breakage should the rifle ever be dropped buttstock down. Available now, this new tactical carbine length black buttstock assembly will retail for $69.95 and includes the stock, buffer, buffer spring, lock plate and locking ring. An OD Green and a Tan assembly are also available at $74.95.

Samson Quick Flip Mount for Aimpoint 3X Magnifier

Samson Manufacturing Corporation has now introduced what is probably the best mount available for the Aimpoint 3X Magnifier. The new mount, called the Quick Flip, mounts the Aimpoint 3X magnifier rock solidly to any flat top rail, yet allows the magnifier to “flip” to the side out of the way instantly. This allows the user to go from standard unmagnified Aimpoint to 3X magnification in an instant. The mount is precision machined and features a pre-drilled base that perfectly mates to the 3X magnifier. It also comes with Allen head attaching screws. The Quick Flip has a spring loaded base that is kept in place by a lever in its side. When the lever is pressed, the base with the magnifier attached, flips to the side out of the way allowing an unmagnified view if the coexisting Aimpoint sight. The Quick Flips also incorporates the excellent ARMS #17 single lever platform mount. This allows the entire unit to be removed with a simple throw of a lever. Another great feature of the mount is a built-in safety that blocks the release lever when the ARMS base is removed from the rifle. This keeps the unit from flipping open when stored in a BDU pocket or case. The new Quick Flip is available in two models, one that flips to the right and one that flips to the left. If you are familiar with Samson’s rail forearm systems, then you’ll know that this product is the very best made. If you are not familiar with their products, treat yourself right and pick one of them up today. They are built like a brick outhouse and will probably outlast the rifle they are used on.

Crimson Trace Introduces Lasergrips for Glock

Crimson Trace announces that the G-Series, the company’s eagerly anticipated new Lasergrips for Glock pistols, are now available. The G-Series consists of four different models, each of which is custom designed to fit specific Glock frames. The G-Series Lasergrips are the latest addition to the Crimson Trace produce line. The four G-Series Lasergrips fit 20 different Glock handguns, including full-size, compact and sub-compact models. The one piece unit installs easily and securely by simply sliding it over the back strap and replacing the trigger-housing pin. After installation, Lasergrips hold zero shot after shot. In fact, over 2,000 rounds were fired during torture testing with no adverse effects to the sighting system. Patented Lasergrips, the world’s only grip-integrated laser sight system, incorporate a laser sight and pressure-sensitive activation switch in the ergonomically designed grip. The G-Series utilizes a special design feature in which the activation switch is located in the back of the grip, turning on the laser’s bright steady beam when the firearm is held in a normal firing grip. No other laser sighting system has this “instinctive activation” feature. Lasergrips are fully adjustable for windage and elevation, precision engineered to exacting specifications and made in the USA using the highest quality components and workmanship. By adding the Lasergrip to the stock grip, the ergonomics of the Lasergrip actually improve the point-of-aim characteristics of the pistol. The areas where the batteries fit make a slight palm swell that naturally fill the hand and provide more of a purchase on the firearm. Suggested retail on the new grips will be $299.
