It works just like the other bump fire stocks on the market: the rifle sits in the stock but is free to move backwards and forwards, the operator then pushes the rifle forward forcing the trigger against their trigger finger, the recoil of the fired round pushes the rifles back reseting the trigger, the operator's continued forward pressure restarts the cycle. Repeat until out of ammunition.

Magpul started shipping it’s new STR stock recently. You may have some difficulty finding them in stock. Magpul is producing them as fast as possible but right now demand exceeds supply.
The STR stands for “Storage/Type Restricted”. In other words it can’t be exported for sale outside the USA. As most of you probably know the CTR has the same type of classification. The STR is a modified version of the CTR with storage capacity which incorporates a better cheek weld. The double tubes are water resistant with a rubber seal at the rear of each. It has a shielded operation lever with a supplemental friction lock. There are two integral sling loops as well as a reversible QD sling mount.

Remington’s new RAHGs hand guard
私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。
Remington Defense has a new rifle hand guard called the RAHG, Remington Accessory Hand Guard. Remington differentiates its tubular aluminum hand guard from the competition in two major ways.
First, the hand guard will come in two widths, 2 and 2.5 inches, to accommodate shooters that want either the feel of a slimmer hand guard or the comfort associated with the heat dissipating qualities of a larger diameter hand guard.
The second differentiator is Remington’s use of Timesert inserts that provide fixed, helicoil-style screw out mounts for the movable rail sections. Remington says the Timeserts will withstand 250 pounds of linear pull forces and lugs on the backside of the rail sections further strengthen the interface by providing significant shear force resistance.
Versions will be available in carbine ands rifle lengths, as well as a separate pair made to accommodate the HK416.

Law Tactical has developed an adapter system which allows any AR-15 stock to fold to the side. The system works for all commercial and mil-spec AR-15s.
The system requires an extension to the bolt carrier (which is supplied in the kit). The biggest problem with the kit is that firing the gun with the stock folded disables the gun.

Damage Industries sling Multi-Mount
私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。
Damage Industries recently released their sling Multi Mount. How often are guys changing slings that they need 3, 4 or 5 different sling attachment points on their rifles? I see the utility of these types of devices for departments or units that maintain a fleet of rifles whose users can choose their own slings. But for the average shooter, it seems like you’re going to be fine with either a QD, HK hook or slot.
Using a multi mount attachment does start to make sense, though, when you look at the economics. An inexpensive rail sling attachment that has a couple attachment options and doesn’t weigh significantly more or take up any more space on a rail than a multi mount presents more value than a device that only offers one attachment method. If you end up changing your sling after a few years, not worrying about buying a new mount is worthsomething.
The Damage Industries Multi Mount reminds me of the VTAC LUSA and the Blue Force Gear Rail Mount Sling Loop. Damage Industries has married the best aspects of these devices while holding the price to $25. The Multi Mount adapts a sling to a 1913 Picatinny rail via a pair of rotation limited QD sockets, HK style or MASH hooks, or slotted directly through the device. It’s made in the U.S. of billet aluminum with Mil-A-8625 type III class 2 hardcoat anodizing. The only thing that worries me is running a steel HK or MASH hook through an aluminum fixture. I’ve seen steel hardware really chew away at aluminum sling attachments over the course of a deployment.
Damage Industries is currently shipping black and dark brown versions and is gauging interest in a FDE version.

Econo-Can: A $55 Suppressor
私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。
American Specialty Ammo is selling a registered NFA suppressor for $55 (+ $200 tax stamp) that is nothing more than an adapter to attach a car oil filter to a 1/2-28 threaded barrel. The first bullet punches a hole in the end of the oil filter.
You can buy "spin-on" oil filters for $10 - $20. A used oil filter (soaked with old oil) will only improve its efficiency. Internally oil filters contain fibrous material designed to filter out contaminates from the oil. I think they would eventually wear/burn out when used with firearms.
An oil filter cartridge
This is a very clever concept. It makes me wonder why someone doesn't make a universal suppressor adapter and a range of tubes for various calibers.

Meprolight M21 dual-illuminated Reflex Sight
私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。
With combat experiences from five major wars and concurrent anti-terrorism operations since its founding in 1948, the Israeli Defense Forces or IDF is one of the first military to understood the advantage of reflex sight on small arms for every infantryman. The main reflex sight used by the IDF for the last 20 plus years is the Meprolight M21. It features the always-on dual-illumination by fiber optic collectors during the day and it uses tritium illumination for low light and nighttime.
The Mako Group is the authorized distributor of Meprolight rifle sights in North America. I had a chance to try out a Meprolight M21 reflex sight during an Israeli style carbine course offered by Mako Defense, a sister company of the Mako Group. The version that I tried has the “X” reticle. The M21 is also available with the 16 MOA triangle reticle, 4.3 MOA dot, 5.5 MOA dot and the bullseye (a dot inside of a circle). The tritium lamp has a 10-year guarantee by Mako. It typically lasts up to 14 years before the tritium became unusable. The tritium illumination unit is replaceable by factory service for a reasonable cost. The current production model is actually the Mepro M21m. The –m suffix is for modular design and because of that, every component on the M21m is replaceable and upgradeable. When mounted on an AR15 flat-top, the M21 has lower 1/3 co-witness with iron sights.
The M21’s reticle has an amber color and its 30mm objective lens’ coating has a green color tint to it. Under the bright daylight, the green lens coating is hardly noticeable. As the light becomes dimmer, the green color appears greener. Since human eyes are more sensitive to the green color, by using a green lens tint it helps to increase the optical contrast and makes the reticle stands out. On a reflex sight design, using the green color coating is a common technique to compensate for a dim reticle. In the M21’s case is its tritium lamp. The majority of the M21’s fiber optic collectors are located in the front of the sight with some in small windows in a horseshoe like pattern around the sides and the top. All the fiber optics is behind protective translucent panels with a discreet light grey color.
I found the M21’s amber color reticle works fine in daylight in both the desert and foliage environments and it is adequate in the darkness. The reticle is also sharply focused and without blooming. However, like other fiber optic and tritium lit sight, it has some issues in certain light conditions. The illumination is barely visible in the low interior lighting of a house. Where neither the fiber optic collects enough light nor the tritium lamp is bright enough. According to the Israeli technique, if you can see the target through the objective lens tube, you will hit it at close range. Another oddity is that in a very bright sunny day, if the shooter is in the shadow of a building and looking through the M21, sometime a bright background would washout the reticle. Although the M21 is less prone to that than the Trijicon reflex sights because it has some of its fiber optics on the sides. Not that the M21 is bad, in fact it works beautifully in most light conditions. Just remember that the fiber optic light collector technology has its limitation.
The M21’s tritium illumination is night vision compatible and it has less blooming than other tritium sights through the NVG. The company gets the tritium from the same Swiss manufacturer that also supplies Trijicon. According to Mako, the main difference is that Meprolight only buys the raw tritium instead of having the Swiss to build the whole illumination unit like Trijicon. Meprolight applies their proprietary treatments to the raw tritium before packaging it and also use higher quality focus lens in their tritium tubes.
The Meprolight M21 was specifically developed according IDF’s requirement. The sight has to be tough enough to withstand the punishment by 18 years old conscripts. The IDF is expecting the M21 to last for at least 20 years of hard use. The sight uses no battery, has no external switch, it’s always on and ready to use. The M21’s aircraft grade aluminum housing is sealed against the environment and it’s waterproof. Both the windage and elevation adjustment dials are flush mounted. The M21 features an adjustable QD mount with dual QD levers for mil-spec 1913 rail. Interestingly, the IDF had actually tested the various QD levers on the market. They have found that while the cam types like LaRue and ARMS are better for retaining zero, the cross bolt type that is on the M21 has more tolerance for mishandling. Mako also offers the M21 with a co-witness M16 carrying handle mount. Noted that the user can’t switch out the mount, it’s factory calibrated to the sight’s lens and it’s permanently installed.

Glass For Gunfighting
私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。
object: rounds on target SOLUTION: A GOOD TACTICAL OPTIC!
Iron sights have become the powder horns and ramrods of the modern Army. Today’s warfighter is issued an M4 and trained to use a close-combat optical sight for the simplest and most obvious of reasons: Optics produce more accurate hits. When the Army first got serious in the 1990s about testing what are generically, although inaccurately, referred to as “red dot sights,” it found that soldiers fired significantly higher qualification scores. The result was the awarding of a multi-year, multi-million dollar contract in 1997 to an innovative Swedish company whose name is virtually synonymous with the whole category of close-combat optics: Aimpoint.
It’s important to understand the Army’s core motivation of improving accuracy as the underlying reason for issuing a close-combat optic (CCO) in the first place. Combat marksmanship is no different than Olympic target shooting in its two fundamentals of trigger control and sight picture. You just do it a lot quicker! Certainly trigger control is by far the more important of the two components of accurate shooting, however, you can’t buy skill. From an overall operational standpoint of improving a soldier’s marksmanship, the Army realized it couldn’t buy good trigger control, but it could buy better sights.
