GUNWERKS

Magnus 28 Nosler with Revic PMR 428 Riflescope

The Magnus stock was designed to mitigate recoil on some of the larger hunting calibers that we produce. From the negative comb angle, to the larger, more vertical grip and the wide forend and flush Picatinny rail, the stock is designed to make the gun recoil straight. These features help the shooter to keep big and small cartridges alike on target while custom fitting to each shooter for ease and comfort.

The Revic PMR 428 smart optic scope with integrated ballistic solutions makes dialing in-field situations faster and less error prone. The clarity of the optic also allows for better visuals at extended ranges. While this scope is battery powered, it does not need the battery to function as a normal mechanical turret system. The combination of these two products make a perfect rig for shooting out to whatever range you are comfortable with.

Vickers Tactical Carry Trigger for Glocks

TangoDown Inc. has added the Vickers Tactical Carry Trigger (VTCT). There are two different models which accommodate the large variety of Glock models on the market. The VTCT is a flat-faced polymer trigger. The flat-faced trigger has become quite popular among shooters and offers the perception of a lighter trigger press.

The VTCT is made from the same material as the OEM trigger, so there isn’t the risk of wear/damage to the frame. The trigger is an insulator, not a heat conductor and will not get hot while spending the day on the range. The VTCT is easily installed in minutes by a Certified Glock Armorer.

CMMG

Mk57 GUARD

CMMG has announced the release of a new line of AR pistols and short-barreled rifles (SBR’s) chambered in FN 5.7x28mm. Available in 5-inch barreled BANSHEE and 8-inch barreled PSB configurations, each model in the new Mk57 GUARD line is fed from FN 5.7 pistol magazines and uses CMMG’s patent-pending Radial Delayed Blowback operating system. The Radial Delayed Blowback operating system is designed to minimize felt recoil. It features a rotating bolt that requires the recoil impulse of a round being fired in order to unlock. As each round is fired, a portion of the rearward force is exhausted in unlocking this bolt prior to driving the carrier rearward and cycling the action. With less rearward force to compensate for, CMMG is able to use a lighter carrier and buffer than a standard blowback design would allow, thus reducing the overall reciprocating mass.

NIKON SPORT OPTICS

NEW TREX Modular Optic Carrying System

Nikon’s new TREX modular optic carry system is headed for dealers’ shelves and now available for the serious outdoors enthusiast. The TREX harness comfortably distributes an optic’s weight during long miles in the field and is available in three system variants—FreeStyle, EXO and 360—designed to address the degree of optics protection sought for your environment. All components in the system are fully interchangeable, allowing users to modify the TREX into any of the above variants by adding or removing the optic accessory bags. Each model also has a ventilated yoke built into the harness that integrates a stowaway hydration net to allow you to accommodate your own hydration bladder.

At the system’s core is the TREX FreeStyle fully adjustable harness with quick-release attachment cords. This feature-packed harness securely holds your optic close to the chest while running or crawling, yet allows fast access for glassing. The TREX EXO carry system integrates a lightweight exoskeleton shell that provides incredibly fast access. In conjunction with the harness’s quick-release attachment cords that hold the optic securely in place, EXO offers protection of the eyepiece lenses even when the over-flap is not secured. Rear cellphone pocket has built-in microfiber cleaning cloth for keeping lenses smudge-free. Nikon’s TREX 360 adds a water-resistant, padded optic compartment to shield and secure your glass while also keeping it at-the-ready. The patent-pending closure system keeps the case closed tight to shield against water, snow and dirt. Interior cellphone pocket has a built-in microfiber cleaning cloth.

BLUE FORCE GEAR

The Tourniquet Now! Pouch

The Tourniquet Now! Pouch was designed around the CAT tourniquet but can fit the SOF, RATS, TK4, SWAT-T or other similar sized tourniquets and serves as a great all-around rapid deploy pouch. The tourniquet fits inside an elastic keeper attached to the lid that is then folded up and secured on the top with a hook and loop field. Lastly a BLIP—or Ball Loaded Index Point makes for the perfect ‘pull’ with gloved, wet or bloody hands. The ball doesn’t rely on friction; the bones in your fingers positively engage it. BLIP’s form is both easy to pull and impossible to miss. As with all Blue Force Gear equipment, it is made with excellence in the USA and carries a limited lifetime warranty.

The Tourniquet Now! Pouch starts with the Helium Whisper MOLLE attachment system made of ULTRAcomp—a battle proven, high performance laminate. This creates a small and light yet secure MOLLE attachment for the pouch on any MOLLE war belt, plate carrier, pack or any other platform.

The Belt Mounted Tourniquet Now! Pouch allows you to carry a tourniquet on your belt—easily the most effective life saving device. Whether a trip to the mall, the office or through the woods—a tourniquet should always be with you. The pouch fits on any pants belt or duty belts up to 2 inches wide.
