The first two items from TangoDown’s Hyperion line of upgrades for the FN SCAR weapon platform are now available – the Aluminum Stock Latch and the Angled Charging Handle.
The AK-BG and AK30 are two relatively new items for the AK platform from US PALM (Primary Armament Logistical Manufacturing). Both were designed and manufactured for US PALM by TangoDown Inc. The AK-BG is an AK grip that follows the design of the AR grips from TD. The AK30 is a polymer 30-round 7.62×39 magazine.
The SRS Soft Case from Desert Tactical Arms is designed for use with their SRS series of bullpup bolt-action rifles. Although it can be used with any other rifle that fits in it, it has some SRS-specific features that some folks may not be able to use.
The SureFire Scout Mounts from Gear Sector are offset light mounts designed specifically for the popular SureFire Scout series of weapon lights, enabling the user to install them in one of eight different positions on a rail for optimal positioning. This allows the user to better tailor their setup to suit their individual shooting style.
The FN SCAR 16/17S stock adapter and extension from Vltor Weapons Systems is a direct drop-in replacement for the standard SCAR stock. It enables any standard AR-15 stock to be mounted on the SCAR, offering the end user more options than just the factory SCAR stock.
Being a lefty sometimes presents a challenge when it comes to sling mounting options on some weapons. One of these is the FAL PARA model. Here’s how I dealt with it.
Vltor Weapons Systems is introducing a CASV handguard for FN FAL metric variants, called the CASV-FA. The CASV-FA is a light weight, drop-in handguard that requires no modification to the weapon, and allows users to install rails where they choose. At the time of this writing, the CASV-FA will debut at the 2010 SHOT Show and go into production some time after.
To compliment their BAD-T1/’The Armorer’, the multi-purpose tool and precision ordnance gauge designed for the M1A/M-14 type rifle; Battle Arms Development (B.A.D.) has come out with the BAD-T3 and BAD-T4 double-ended gas cylinder lock wrench tools. Like the T1, the T3 and T4 are specialized, high-end quality tools designed for the shooting enthusiast.
