The gas piston-driven Adcor B.E.A.R. has battle-ready enhancements to keep the indestructible M4 legacy alive!
The Adcor B.E.A.R. represents new innovations and upgrades to the popular and battlefield-proven M4/AR-15 rifle system.
By the time a particular weapons family has become the longest-serving standard rifle design in U.S. military history, and has been involved in combat both minor and major almost continuously during that record tenure, all its eccentricities and weak points have become known. The evolutionary process of the AR platform, from the M16 to myriad variants and upgrades fielded today, has largely been a process of making fixes one at a time, based on combat experience. As a result of this process, the AR has developed into a mature, useful military arm. It has passed the historical Mauser 98 action as being made by more manufacturers worldwide, in more variations, than any rifle in history, including the legendary and repeatedly cloned Kalashnikov.
The forward charging handle is non-reciprocating and retracts when not in use. It proved to be very effective during testing.
Some of these variants comprise worthy upgrades—some may not. Except for stock variations, most attention has been to the upper receiver, usually addressing points relating to with the original direct impingement gas system. Again, some of these changes and adaptations are worthy upgrades, and some are not. One that is: the design being made by Adcor Defense. The Adcor upgrade, among other advantages, is available as a retrofit to existing weapons—and it does as advertised.

"I wanted to deliver a retrofit with features never before seen on a weapon,” Michael Brown, chief engineer for Adcor Defense, said. And that is exactly what Brown and his team did with the development of a four-piece retrofit for any AR-15/M16 system, with a short-stroke, piston-driven AR-15/M4 upper receiver. The retrofit’s features include a highly accurate free-floating barrel, ambidextrous forward-placed charging handle/forward assist, an ejection port door that closes after each round is fired and a fully integrated rail system. All of the new components are removable for maintenance without the use of any tools.

Dedicated AR .22 Trainer
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。
S&W’s M&P15-22 is designed with operating features of a centerfire M4.
With the recent increases in ammunition prices and some calibers in very short supply, shooters have been rediscovering the lowly .22 LR cartridge. Even the “tacti-cool” guys are shooting more .22 LR than .223 through their black rifles. Conversion units are more popular and for serious shooters, showing that there is a clear interest within the shooting community for ways to train with more affordable ammunition in their rifles. Recently, I worked with a conversion upper and found it to be well-suited for law enforcement and military training.
At a gun show, Smith & Wesson teased those in attendance by displaying a prototype of what is now the M&P15-22. To make matters worse, it was locked in a glass display case and all we could do was look, not touch. The new rifle looked similar to a standard M4, but a close inspection found that the upper and lower receivers were made from polymer. While I was impressed with the concept, I had to admit I was skeptical of the implementation. Still, I asked to be put on the list for a sample, knowing I could send it back if I didn’t like it.

The Hog Saddle
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。
The coolest product I saw this year at Shot Show was one that I almost did not see. Its easy to miss things at Shot Show simply because of how many products are being shown, but this product, The Hog Saddle by Shadow Tech LLC caught my eye. As I walked down the line at an invite only shooting event held the day before Shot Show formally opened, it was easy to miss this product, especially given the prototype Barrett M240 (we wrote about it here as the MG240LW) going through belt after belt of 7.62mm a few feet away, but there, off to my right stood a tripod with a GAPrecision rifle atop it. I actually did walk past, but did a double take and stepped back to examine just how this GAP rifle was positioned. What I saw was a product that was elegant in its simplicity, rugged and effective. It was a most beautifully machined vise designed to hold a rifle and called the Hog Saddle. The Hog Saddle is the kind of product that you see and instantly realize the usefulness and application. It’s the kind of product that makes you slap your forehead and say “I should have thought of this”. Its the kind of product that you realize meets a need you never knew you had or if you did realize you did have the need, this product instantly makes your life simpler and better.
The Hog Saddle is in essence, a 16 oz. CNC machined vise for your rifle with an industry standard mount that sits atop a commercial camera tripod. The singular purpose of The Hog Saddle is to provide a stable, solid, universal thread attachment for your rifle on a modular lightweight, adjustable and adaptable mount (tripod). It is crafted out of a single block of aluminum, hard anodized to provide a base for camouflage and is resistant to corrosion. The vise itself been machined to provide a contact patch of urethane pads to protect your rifle, reduce recoil and muzzle rise and preserve accuracy.
Flexibility is important and why the Hog Saddle has neoprene bonded into the CNC machined surface. Obviously, not all rifles have the same dimensions, so the Hog Saddle can adapt to different style rifles and still securely hold them in place. Here is an AR style rifle with a modular rail mounted securely in the Hog Saddle. Other rifles that are currently being used in the field with the Hog Saddle are AR designs including M16, M4, Mk-12 and .308 designs like the SR-25. M14 rifles, M110, Remington 700 designs including the M24 and M40 series as well as Accuracy International and McMillan TAC-50s.

Whether undercover or off-duty — low-profile options for hiding in plain sight!
The Scottevest Outback jacket has 20 pockets for concealing every piece of operator gear that an undercover agent could want.
Everybody knows that a law enforcement officer must carry a gun while he is on duty, but what about during his down hours? Considering the situations in which an off-duty officer can find himself, it is best to be prepared by being armed, if properly authorized. But how should the officer carry this firearm concealed in a way that makes it readily accessible yet still hidden from public view?
Once the proper attire is chosen, the first rule should be, if authorized, to always carry off-duty. The second rule is practice, practice, practice. Officers spend a large amount of time on the range practicing in duty attire. How much of that time is used to practice carrying in off-duty modes? For most agencies, it’s probably none. That leaves it up to each and every officer to practice and hone their skill regarding the concealed methods of carry. Your carry method and tactics must be sound so that your muscle memory will take over, as you won’t have time to think.
The 5.11 Tactical Holster shirt gives an operator the ability to hide a gun in a quickly accessible spot.
Additionally, it’s been long advised that in addition to a gun, an off-duty officer should carry extra ammunition, handcuffs, a knife and flashlight. If you are immersed in a fight, your muscle memory will kick in, and since officers are used to having their “tool belt” on, you will instinctively reach for the items that you are used to carrying. The last thing you want is to reach for something and find it’s not there.
