Enhancements that will turn your scattergun in a CQB tactical powerhouse!
ATI’s Talon stock and forend system was easy to install, was very solid, and the Scorpion buttpad made shooting comfortable. The six-position stock allows the shooter to quickly and easily adjust the gun to allow for the most comfort and accuracy.
The carbine is slowly supplanting the shotgun in many departments these days. It is prevalent enough that in some cases new officers have never even seen a tactical shotgun, let alone used one. With it slowly fading from the police world, it is easy to forget how versatile and powerful this venerable workhorse is—especially the pump shotgun.
Although semi-automatic shotguns are taking over the competition world, and in many instances the tactical environment, the pump shotgun is still the favorite of many. The biggest reason, of course, is its complete reliability with all types of ammunition. No need to change buffers, pistons or anything else. It will run the lightest gas or riot load or the heaviest magnum. It will run wet, dirty, muddy and in any environment. Given the correct ammunition, a pump shotgun will do just about any job a police officer is called upon to do with great effectiveness.
With the exception of long ranges and some limited hard target penetration, it will even do most anything a rifle will do. It just takes some practice and a bit more effort to control recoil. And the recoil has been trimmed down considerably with the latest in low-recoil rounds. It may not be the most popular weapon these days, but the pump shotgun remains one of the most effective, and just as important, it’s affordable.
Using the Triton Mounting System—built from anodized aluminum—one can change between a buttstock and a pistol grip simply and quickly.

Brugger & Thomet’s APR338

.338 Lapua Mag anti-personnel rifle for long-range precision!
The folding buttstock is adjustable for length of pull, cheekpiece height and buttpad height. It has an integral monopod and handstop along with two flushcup sling points.
Well, no one will mistake that for a hunting rifle,” I thought, as I took my first look at the Brugger & Thomet’s APR338 .338 Lapua Mag. This gun was conceived and built from the ground up specifically for long-range sniping applications. Matte black, steel and aluminum, without any smooth curves or fancy engraving—it’s all business.
The action is a single rectangular block of steel measuring 9.5×2x1.75 inches. A 9.5-inch Mil-Std-1913 rail is bolted to the receiver with six screws. The rail has 40-MOA of slope built in to extract the maximum possible elevation travel from the standard Schmidt & Bender optic. The rail also sports a flip-up aperture rear emergency backup sight, though I can’t imagine it will ever get much use on this type of rifle. A fully protected bolt stop/release is attached to the left rear with a solid steel pin. The bolt is a three-lug, 60-degree, short throw type. One full inch in diameter with various lightening cuts, the construction seems unique. The bolt head is attached to the bolt body via two large diameter roll pins. The head itself is of conventional design with a plunger ejector and spring-loaded snap over extractor in the top right lug. A long groove a little over 0.25 of an inch wide provides the bolt stop surface as well as the anti-bind rail. This prevents marring of the bolt lug by the bolt stop. An interesting rearward curving bolt handle with a non-metallic ball end is fixed to the rear of the bolt body. The curve places the ball directly above the trigger, making fast bolt work a simple affair. A special tool is provided to take down the firing pin system.
Folding to the left side, the stock latches in both positions via a button seen here above the base of the monopod.
The 27-inch fluted barrel is screwed into the receiver in the conventional manner, but in addition to the flutes there are wrench flats cut into the shank at the receiver junction, which permit a simple vise/wrench combo to remove and replace barrels rather than a special barrel vise. This is unique in my experience, and should make field re-barreling work a little simpler.
The muzzle brake has a threaded section protected by a knurled cap. The suppressor screws on over the brake and seals against a tapered surface, while a folding front sight is built into the brake.
Twist rate is 1-in-11 inches, which will be only just adequate to stabilize 300-grain projectiles. It is of a fairly light Palma-type profile, 0.75 of an inch in diameter at the muzzle and 1.5 inches at the breech. The business end of the barrel is equipped with a large two-vent muzzle brake, which is threaded and has a knurled thread protector permitting attachment of a sound suppressor that goes over the brake vents and seals against a tapered surface. A flip-up front sight is attached, completing the emergency sight system.
The sight base and Mil-Std-1913 rail have small transverse holes that are used to attach the supplied mirage band. Commonplace in competition rifles, I’ve rarely seen one used in the field, though it can prove useful during training sessions, where a number of shots will cause enough barrel heat to distort the sight picture.

Apex Extended Carbine Rail System
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。
As everyone knows there are a huge number of addons for the AR15 family of rifles. Some of these aftermarket parts are very good while others are best ignored. I recently found a new extended carbine rail system from Apex that’s well worth considering as a replacement for your current GI grip or traditional four rails.
At a weight of only 8.1 ounces with three extra rail attachments the weight is considerably less than the usual free float rail system. Most standard configurations have four full length rails which are seldom used in full and just add weight. They can also be pretty rough on your hands unless you add rail covers, which increase the bulk and size of the rails.
The Apex extended carbine system allows the AR15 owner to add assorted short rails to a greater number of locations than a standard system. Extra short rails of one inch to four inches can be placed in eight locations around the entire tube utilizing the milled slots. Most of us only need a flashlight mount and possibly a vertical grip. If you want to add additional items just add an appropriate size short rail in the location best served for that add on. The Apex rail system has the capacity to add four QD sling attachments; two on each side. If you use a single point sling no problem just leave them open for later use if needed.
The top rail is 7.5 inches long and mates perfectly with the receiver rail. The external diameter of the tube is 1.970 inches, which is much less than standard rail systems.

Apex has also solved the rough surface problem most rails have by milling a grip surface they call a Gator Grip. This gives the shooter a firm grip without being abrasive to the shooters hands.
