<p>The storage-capable version of the flagship Magpul MOE SL carbine stock, the MOE SL-S (Storage) Stock is a direct replacement buttstock for AR15/M4 carbines. The sleek profile, dual-side release latches, and waterproof battery tubes make it the slimmest storage tube stock available. The SL-S provides the enhanced cheek weld and true, O-ring sealed, 10m waterproof storage area desired by many, but fits it into the narrowest package possible to allow a more upright head position and minimize bulk. A rolled toe and angled rubber butt-pad are optimized for use with body armor, and QD sling socket is included. A unique leaf-spring tension system provides a solid fit on mil-spec receiver extensions, with slightly less friction than the original SL. The MOE SL-S is the most intuitive, comfortable, and efficient storage stock available. MAG653, MIL-SPEC, MSRP: $79.95. Made in the US.</p>

<p>For the past decade, CMMG has delivered precision-machined AR rifles known for their exceptional function, accuracy and reliability. The latest rifle to embody these features is the CMMG Mk4 RCE, available in 5.56x45mm NATO or .300 AAC Blackout. The Mk4 RCE is one of CMMG’s premier 2014 rifle models. At its core is an M4 upper receiver and an AR-15 lower receiver &#8211; both forged from 7075-T6 aluminum. The barrel is a matte finished 416 stainless steel 16-inch barrel with 1:7 rifle twist. The Mk4 RCE weighs just 6.5 pounds unloaded and weighs 7.5 pounds with a fully-loaded 30-round PMag. It is 33 inches long with the stock collapsed and is 36 3/8 inches in length with the stock extended. The RCE includes an RKM14 KeyMod free-floating hand guard with a 1913 Picatinny rail on top. The KeyMod slots are found at the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions and offer shooters a low-profile mounting alternative to the M1913 Picatinny rail. For accessories that are not yet KeyMod compatible, users can purchase a separate CMMG 5-slot Picatinny adapter rail that can be easily attached to any of the KeyMod slots for optimal placement of the accessories. The Mk4 RCE is equipped with a CMMG SV muzzle brake that helps to reduce recoil and increase muzzle control for quick and manageable follow-up shots. The muzzle brake is built from nitride finished 4140 steel and is able to withstand harsh conditions while providing steady and consistent muzzle rise compensation. Other features include a Geissele Automatics SSA 2-stage trigger, a Magpul CTR adjustable stock and Magpul MOE pistol grip and trigger guard. One Magpul PMag with a 30-round capacity is included with the rifle.

<p>ROBAR, a trusted leader in precision rifle design, announces their new SR21 precision rifle. Designed around a customized 700 action with match grade barrel, the SR21 breaks new ground, being based on a versatile chassis system. Embracing the most advanced technology in use by precision shooters, ROBAR’s SR21 begins with ROBAR’s legendary accuracy guarantee of one-half MOA or better – then continues to build on that promise. The final package is based on innovation, “best-quality” components and trusted manufacturing skills. Among the unique features of this rifle are the monolithic rail, attachable sections (for mounting optics/laser/night vision and accessories), a quick detachable stock and compatibility with standard AR-style stock and pistol grip – all working together as a cohesive unit. ROBAR has created the SR21 to be one of the most versatile rifles possible, while still assuring the ability to deliver that magical 0.5 MOA. ROBAR can also place your existing rifle in this remarkable chassis and work with you to create your own SR21. This state-of-the-art modularity translates into versatility, user-friendliness and adaptability, allowing ROBAR to create an SR21 meeting your particular needs.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">FAB DEFENSE ANNOUNCES NEW FOLDING BACK-UP SIGHTS</h2>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="500" height="347" src="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/003-32.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-33140" srcset="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/003-32.jpg 500w, https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/003-32-300x208.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></figure>
</div>


<p>FAB Defense has just introduced their new folding back-up sights. When the FAB FBS ergonomic angel-wing shaped front site shroud aligns with the FAB RBS rear sight, a precise optical tunnel is created that ensures more accurate aiming and faster target acquisition. The FBS is a highly-advanced, low-profile, ultra-rugged, auxiliary folding front sight. It can be used with any rear sight, but has been designed to provide an extreme optical advantage when paired with the FAB Defense RBS rear back-up sight. No tools are needed for easy, rapid elevation adjustments, with positive detent locking. The RBS is a highly-advanced, low-profile, ultra-rugged, dual aperture, folding auxiliary rear sight that can be used very effectively with any front sight. But, when paired with the FAB Defense FBS front sight, it provides the extreme optical advantage described above. Dual apertures are 3mm for longer eye relief mounting, low light, and faster target acquisition; and 1.5mm for shorter eye relief mounting and greater accuracy. Apertures are instantly selectable to match conditions, and windage is easily and quickly adjusted without tools. Both RBS and FBS are made of extremely durable high-grade polymer and metal, and feature instant spring-locked deployment mechanisms that will not slip, break or deform. Their low folded profiles are smooth and inconspicuous, and will not snag on gear, webbing, or brush. The FAB Defense FBS and RBS are easily mounted on any 1913 Picatinny rail, making them ideal for use on M4/AR-15/M16 platforms and on the FAB Defense KPOS as primary or as back-up sights. When an optical sight battery fails, hunters, law enforcement officers, home defenders, and military warriors can rely on these auxiliary sights to get the job done.

<p>Plinker Arms, makers of American-made firearms magazines, accessories and components, announces two new .22 LR magazines to their family of .22 LR products; the .22 LR Universal magazine and the .22 LR Upper Conversion magazine. The Plinker Arms Universal .22 LR magazine is an American-made, sonically welded .22 LR magazine for SIG, DPMS and CMMG rifles. The magazines are made using a very durable, long-fiber polymer that not only increases the magazine’s longevity but makes the magazines more solvent and corrosion resistant. The Universal .22 LR magazines are available in Black, OD Green and Flat Dark Earth (FDE) and in either 10 -or 25-round capacities (all state laws apply). The .22 LR Upper Conversion magazines are compatible with all three new Plinker Arms .22 LR Upper Conversion Units; the M4, SBR and Bull Barrel Upper Conversions. These magazines are also American made using a sonically welded, long-nylon polymer body construction. Available in either 10 &#8211; or 25-rounds (all state laws apply), the new Plinker Arms .22 LR Upper Conversion magazines come in Black only. Both magazines have a limited lifetime warranty and retail is just $24.99. (The Universal .22 LR magazine will not fit the Colt .22 Umarex rifles, Tactical Solutions, HK or other Umarex rifles.)

<p>Manta is now manufacturing their new M7000 series suppressor covers. The covers will be available beginning in January 2014 and will fit 1.5 inch diameter suppressors. The use of revolutionary materials coupled with cutting-edge designs has allowed Manta to solve a problem that plagues every suppressor: HEAT. The Manta Suppressor Cover will resist the extreme heat generated from suppressors thus protecting operators and gear from accidental burns while helping to reduce mirage and IR signature. Cover segments can interface together and can be cut to length for a custom fit. The Manta Suppressor Cover will not melt. Manta has refined their designs and materials through years of testing, bringing a product to market unlike anything else. Roots in the military market has enabled Manta to create products to solve heat issues that have plagued other weapon platforms such as the Browning M2 machine gun barrel. Currently, Manta offers covers for suppressors that are 1.5 inches in diameter, a cover for the .50 caliber Barrett M107A1 suppressor and a barrel cover for the M2 Machine gun. The M7000 is Black, the M7001 is Flat Dark Earth, the M7003 is Olive Drab and the M7010 is Cammo. Manta plans to introduce multiple variations over the next several months to interface with the most popular suppressor sizes.

<p><strong>New Combat Bipod from TangoDown/Buffer Technologies</strong></p>



<p>Buffer Technologies, Inc. has announced the new ACB-4 Combat Bipod, from TangoDown LLC, designed for use with the entire AR-type family of weapons. Made of proprietary advanced injection-molded polymers and forged aircraft aluminum components, the TangoDown ACB-4 outperforms all others in design, operation and dependability. “This bipod has the ability to attach directly to any MIL-STD 1913 rail, eliminating the need for expensive adapters.” said Rob Parham, Director of Operations at Buffer Technologies. “The integrated design allows it to tuck up between the side and bottom rails of the weapon, allowing a proper handgrip when the bipod legs are stowed.” The ACB-4 Bipod also matches function to the design. It has the ability to cant and, more importantly, traverse. This allows accurate, rapid tracking of moving targets. It can also be reverse-mounted for depressed angle fire. The legs are adjustable in length, and the entire unit is silent in operation. There are no exposed springs or screws to catch foliage or webgear. Manufactured by TangoDown LLC and distributed by Buffer Technologies, Inc., the ACB-4 bipod offers the features needed in military and law enforcement field conditions. Buffer Technologies, Inc. is a Missouri-based manufacturer and distributor of tactical weapons accessories for military, law enforcement and shooting sports. Its signature products include patented recoil buffers for most automatic pistols and rifles, the MagCinch dual-magazine system, and TangoDown LLC components for contemporary military assault rifles. For more information, please contact Buffer Technologies, Dept. SAR, P.O. Box 105047, Jefferson City, MO 65110. Phone: (573) 634-8529. Fax: (573) 634-8522. They can be found on the web at www.buffertech.com.</p>

<p><strong>Weapon Solutions Introduces New AR-15/M16 Notch/Peep Sight</strong></p>



<p>Weapon Solutions has now introduced a new co-witness notch/peep rear sight for the AR-15/M16 series of both rifles and pistols. This new sight is the most improved rear sight that can be found for use with today’s holographic and red dot sighting systems. Tactical training professionals developed the notch/peep rear sight to avoid the top of the peep from covering up the commonly used red dot type optics during co-witness sighting with the AR-15/M16 rifle. This quality CNC machined 6061 aluminum replacement notch and peep type sight allows the shooter to see the entire sight picture needed to co-witness on a target. This more “open” sighting system allows the shooter to see all of the sights needed during low light and CQB conditions. Several shooting instructors have now favored the use of the notch type sight without optics at all. Elevation does not change when switching from the notch to the peep sight. There is still a “medium” sized opening on the peep half of the sight which works well for both rifles as well as pistols. For more information on the new sight, please contact Weapon Solutions, Dept. SAR, P.O. Box 934, Greencastle, IN 46135. Phone: (765) 720-2102. The sights can also be seen on the web at <a href="http://www.weaponsolutions.com/Welcome.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.weaponsolutions.com</a>.</p>

<p><strong>New Modular Gas Block for AR-15/M16 Series Rifles</strong></p>



<p>Brownells has introduced an easy-to-install modular gas block for those seeking to optimize their AR-15/M16 rifles for tactical duty. It is designed to offer additional capacity and placement options for tactical rail-mounted accessories. The Brownells modular gas block features one integrated Picatinny (1913-style) rail, and allows the attachment of up to three additional Picatinny rails, which let you attach lights, back-up sights and a variety of other tactical rail-mounted accessories. Rugged machined aluminum construction and a durable hard coat anodized finish provides superior strength without weighing down the firearm. Three hardened steel set screws quickly anchor the Brownells modular gas block to any standard .750-inch (19mm) AR-15 or M16 barrel. The modular gas block is available alone (stock #080-000-382), or as part of the Brownells modular gas block kit (stock #080-000-384), which in-addition to the modular gas block, also includes three add-on rails. The modular add-on rails are also available separately (stock #080-000-383). Like every item Brownells offers, the modular gas rail block features the company’s exclusive 100-percent satisfaction guarantee, which promises a prompt refund of the full purchase price for any product that does not satisfy customer expectations for any reason. For more information, please contact them at Brownells, Dept. SAR, 200 South Front Street, Montezuma, IA 50171. Phone: (641) 623-5401. Fax: (641) 623-3896.

<p><strong>Gun Kote Introduces New One Step Air Cure Firearms Finish</strong></p>



<p>Amateur and professional gunsmiths, law enforcement armorers, or anyone with a workbench or kitchen table, will now be able to add a protective, corrosion-resistant finish to a firearm without any need for ovens or special equipment. KG Industries, manufacturer of the Original Gun Kote, is a leader in the development of innovative protective coatings, lubricants and cleaning solutions for the firearms, aerospace and automotive industries. KG’s new 1200 Series Stock-Kote is a single component, water based, polyurethane resin system. Stock-Kote is easy to apply with a simple airbrush and it air dries in just eighty minutes or less at normal room temperature. According to Joe Fazio, president of KG Industries, Stock-Kote is the most unique product on the market. “There are other air cure products on the market, but they’re two-part coating systems which are messy and difficult to apply. Stock-Kote was developed in response to the requests we had from our customers who were having trouble achieving nice, smooth finishes. We also know from our extensive testing that Stock-Kote is extremely tough and protects equally well against chemicals, scratching and chipping.”</p>



<p>In addition to clear coat, Stock-Kote is available in popular colors, which allows for solid color, multi-color or even custom camouflage color treatments. For more information on this new firearms coating, please contact KG Industries, Dept. SAR, 1670 South Highway 63, Building 63, Hayward, WI 54843. Phone: (800) 348-9558. Fax: (715) 934-3570.

<p><strong>Tru-Spec Introduces New Tactical BDUs</strong></p>



<p>Tru-Spec by Atlanco, one of the leading suppliers of BDUs and other apparel to the law enforcement and military sectors, has introduced a brand new style BDU focused specifically on the requirements of tactical team members. Tru-Spec’s innovative new TRU Tactical Response Uniform is based on the ACU recently adopted by the U.S. Army, which is currently available from Tru-Spec. With input from several tactical officers around the country, including members of the Department of Homeland Security’s ICE SRT team in San Diego, Tru-Spec has added several proprietary design improvements to its TRU aimed at improving functionality, durability and comfort in the field. Unlike the standard ACU, which is available only in a military digital pattern, Tru-Spec is offering the new TRU in six popular color choices (black, khaki, olive, navy, woodland camo and three-color desert camo) and with several coordinated accessory items including combat caps, matching t-shirts, shoulder conversion kits and name tape kits. All fabrics were developed and manufactured in U.S. government-approved factories and built to withstand battlefield conditions. Some of the exclusive features of the new BDUs include extra deep front trouser pockets, double reinforced front trouser pocket openings to protect the pocket from wear and tear caused by the clip on pocket knives, hidden 5 inch by 5 inch pockets in each side of the trouser cargo pockets, thicker than normal leg drawstrings to ensure they stay tied and 1-inch wide belt loops with 2 1/4 inch openings. For more information on these new BDUs please contact TRU-SPEC by Atlanco, Dept. SAR, 1125 Hayes Industrial Drive, Marietta, GA 30062. Phone: (770) 427-1334. Fax: (770) 427-9011.
