The newly revised detent on the M110, the detent are now more solid and less likely to break which result in the suppressor being mounted upside down...it does not effect the suppressor function, but it does help to keep the locking gate on the suppressor from dropping out of battery.

Damn that PDW makes me look good - thanks for the pics Chen.

[tiger seven]

Wow! The pics of you guys holding the PDW do a great job of showing just how small that thing really is. The standalone pics don't do it justice in that regard.

It certainly sounds like an impressive little weapon. I hope KAC sells a ton of them. :)

Thanks for the great pics!

Cal. 6x35?

WTH is that?

[SpartanArms]

Cal. 6x35?

WTH is that?

IIRC, The 6x35mm round is a proprietary round designed by KAC for the PDW. AFAIK, no other weapon on the market utilizes this round. I would love to own a PDW if KAC would ever sell a civilian S/A model, however I doubt that will ever materialize. Also I have no idea who the hell is actually making ammo for it.:confused: I read a Defense Review article on the PDW that had photos of some custom ammo Hornady had made in 6x35mm, but other than that I've never seen any.

[RogerinTPA]

Outstanding Pics SMGLee. That PWD is SICK! I hope the come out with a 5.56 version.:cool:

Yes, it is a piggy under the Shorty CASV

The fortis is supposed to be mid summer.....

[militarymoron]

i can see a potential problem with the Fortis - it's gonna be hard to get just one.
dammit.

[ICANHITHIMMAN]

Were is the M14 stuff?

[Littlelebowski]

Did they have to put that "Special Forces" on there? Since SF has never and will most likely never use said pistol and said pistol has not and will not receive SF's endorsement, I think that's pretty moronic. I still have forgiven Ed Brown for their "Special Forces" pistol.

[RogerinTPA]

Putting SF or Tactical or any trashy term like that on such a fine weapon is blasphemous! A gimmicky term used to attract ignorant wanna be's who wish to be tacticool and sell product. Sadly it works... If they can offer it with a "Blank" slide, I'd buy one.

Subject Change: What's the proposed price in the Fortis?

[BSHNT2015]

Any release date for their Fortis pistol?

[joffe]

Any release date for their Fortis pistol?

Vltor says '6-12 months' just to be sure - they don't want to repeat the mistakes of previous Bren Ten revivers and end up not meeting dates and/or rushing the gun to meet such.



Subject Change: What's the proposed price in the Fortis?

They've said 'mid range 1911' so I'd guess somewhere around Kimber/Springfield 'Loaded'.. 900-1100?

It's only because the Bren Ten came in a model called 'Special Forces'.

[mvician]

Great pics ! Thanks from all of us KAC "junkies"

:cool:

[DANGER CLOSE]

i am liking that forearm hand guard thingy with sling attachment on the pdw.

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

Any word on that flash hider on the PDW that looks almost like mesh or just small slots? I saw one in the Magpul DVD on a 5.56 rifle.

[Caeser25]

smaller, and less expensive buis, sweet. what's the story on the buzzsaw?

[KevinB]

Any word on that flash hider on the PDW that looks almost like mesh or just small slots? I saw one in the Magpul DVD on a 5.56 rifle.

KAC Triple Tap. It is a .gov item only right now, they are frighfully expensive to build, and thus expensive to buy.
Initally was from the SR25 BattleRifle, and designed as a control item, then scaled into 5.56mm as a sacrificial baffle to designed to enhance the life of suppressors.

Its a great setup, but unless we can descrease the cost of manufacture - I don't see a large public market.

[Ned Christiansen]

Nice weedwhacker, and an interesting 1911! Thanks for the great pics, unfortunately I missed KAC in my limited cruising.

[Ricardus]

The Fortis resurrection of the Bren Ten looks great. I wanted one myself but I think it may be too late for obvious reasons unfortunately. And a couple of design decisions made by Vltor are mistakes in my opinion.

I have two observations on the design. The first being the scalloping at the front of the frame probably to lighten it. The back of the frame seems thick enough for the slide stop area. It detracts from the way that particular designs looks originally (CZ 75 clone). I would also think the weight up front is needed for the 10mm!

Another area is the lack of a "beavertail" rear back strap. It is just a stub like someone decided to chop it off without thinkiing of the possibility of the web of the firer's hand being bitten - hammer bite.

All the folks at Vltor needed to do was to look at the EAA clones like the Elite Match which has a substantial frame and a very nice "bervertail" on it. Even the CZ 75B SA and SP-01s now have this design on their cast steel frames. This to me is a step backwards for the Fortis design.

Just my observations and opinions. My intent is not to start an argument.

[dewatters]

Yes, but that is the way they did it with the original Bren X.

[Moose-Knuckle]

Love the buzzsaw...perfect for the undead! :D

[joffe]

Exactly. If they changed the exterior design of it it'd be pointless, people might as well just buy a Witness 10 mm then.

They might do modified versions later on but the first ones to roll out will look like the Bren Ten and that's kinda their whole mission statement.

[Iraqgunz]

Lebowski,

Don't be so hard man. Doesn't everyone deserve to be "special"? :D


Did they have to put that "Special Forces" on there? Since SF has never and will most likely never use said pistol and said pistol has not and will not receive SF's endorsement, I think that's pretty moronic. I still have forgiven Ed Brown for their "Special Forces" pistol.

[VA_Dinger]

Wow, the Fortis looks great.

I am very impressed.

[Loner]

Will we see the T1 mount released commercially?

Interesting QD throw lever mount, will succeeding Aimpoint mounts have these?

[Ricardus]

Exactly. If they changed the exterior design of it it'd be pointless, people might as well just buy a Witness 10 mm then.

Exactly!;)

Witness Elite Match 10mm = $525< Magazine capacity = 15 rounds

Fortis "Bren Ten" = $1000>? Magazine capacity = ?

Any info on the Sabre Defense USMC M16? Will they be A4's or are we talking a new platform all together? Is it the one pictured?

[RogerinTPA]

Once again, great pics SMGLee. I like the continuous rail on the Saber Defense and the M16 compatible version. That would be the most cost effective, having the ability to use existing mags that you own and that can easily be replaced, for now... :cool:

[Razorhunter]

Nice pics, and most all of the KAC stuff looks great.
However, I was a bit disappointed to see that huge Micro T-1 lever. I think the ejection port side of the T-1 mount looks kick ass, and IF it looked more like that on BOTH sides of the gun, I'd be ALL OVER these mounts. However, that huge lever is outrageous, IMHO. Aside from the cosmetics (which is the main thing for me, as I already know it's got KAC quality and reliability), I would be afraid that huge lever would get caught on my gear on my chest... Maybe, maybe not.
Any chance of getting that lever cut down a bit/modified before they hit the streets :D Would be SO nice!:cool:
Either way, the KAC products are most impressive, and I just wish we could get our hands on more of them... PDW rocks, and would be a FUN little gun, especially suppressed! BTW, did I hear "DOUBLE piston" system?? I'd love to get a look at those inner workings!

[welchtactical]

I've been wanting one of the flip-up front sights from KAC and never could find one. Anyone know where I can get one and approx. price? I want one of the PDWs BAD! Hell, probably take a SR15 too:D!

[dewatters]

Any info on the Sabre Defense USMC M16? Will they be A4's or are we talking a new platform all together? Is it the one pictured?

Their contract is for 702 M16A4 Rifles for the USMC and 4,952 M16A3 Rifles for the US Navy. They are to be standard configurations just like those already produced by Colt and FN.

[joffe]

Exactly!;)

Witness Elite Match 10mm = $525< Magazine capacity = 15 rounds

Fortis "Bren Ten" = $1000>? Magazine capacity = ?

Fortis will use Witness magazines.

[AggiePhil]

When will the M16 compatible MSAR be available and how much will it be?

[KevinB]

Flip Front sight gas block.
These are not currenty for sale outside the SR16 series of weapons.
Previously Marvin had been able to buy these and pin them on, but when he left us that route was eliminated. Until a KAC employee that is willing and skilled is willing to do this as a after work job again it is not available.
Yes I have a taper reamer, and yes I have done this before, but I want to do more of my own guns before I commit to something like this for sale.

[Iraqgunz]

Kevin,

One little comment/ criticism about the KAC VFG. What's the story with the nipple always breaking off on the insert? I know that part of it is operator headspace but it seems as if they break too easily. I think I have about 6 of them laying around here that are tits up.

Not at the present time.

When Marvin left, we lost that capability. However one of our Engineers that lives near me in Orlando has a mill at home, and we have discussed doing projects like that.

It's not exactly fair to compare Jessie to the girls some companies hire as window dressing to lure morons into their booths at SHOT. She was the 2008 Ladies Steel Challenge champ; USPSA Limited, Limited 10, and Multi-Gun Ladies Champ; as well as the Western 3-Gun Ladies Champ.

That Jessica is pretty hot, both for her god given looks and for her ability to shoot, an ability that most women (especially hot young ones) do not tend to over indulge in.

Where I lost her was in killing the Zebra. Its a horse, you don't eat a horse unless your starving to death or in Bulgaria...where I have eaten horse. I see that as hunting it... just because you have yet to kill one of those. Hunt game animals, not a damn horse. Fail.

Note:
I was in Bulgaria doing a rare and unusual job and had been there for 3.5 weeks and barely had any meat to eat. As a gift, when we were leaving, the client set up a dinner at a castle. When our team walked into the room there was a table about 50 feet long and 12 or so feet wide with a horse on a silver platter about as big as an F-150 up on that table. Some did not eat it, I ate a bit. The customer was being insulted that we were not extatic over the offering of meat so those of us that did eat it played it up to be greatest thing we had ever had or seen. The others claimed religion prevented them eating the horse.

[Robb Jensen]

***note to mods, if you feel that this is going to drift this thread too greatly, please feel free to move to a new thread - Apologies in advance.***



Question for the group at large.

What is it about the SCAR platform that has everyone so geeked up? I understand the SOCOM thing but other than that, I am having a difficult time seeing it. I read thread after thread on this and other forums about people being fired up about the SCAR being released to the public, while to me, it just looks and feels like a bulky, plasticy thing. Admittedly I have never had the chance to shoot one but ergonomically, it does not feel anywhere near as good as the AR platform to me. In addition, while it may end up being the "official" SOCOM platform, those guys carry what they want most of the time anyways, so how often actual teams are carrying the SCAR down the road remains to be seen.

As a disclaimer, this is not a FNH hate-fest. I have an FNH SLP shotgun that I absolutely love, and while the m249 sucks, the m240 kicks ass. I have also heard very good things about their bolt action rifles.

So, anyone here who can't wait for the SCAR to be released? If so, mind sharing your reasoning? I'm not hating here, just curious I guess...

Thanks

[BSHNT2015]

very nice, I'll be checking out the article.

[Frank Castle]

Are the barrels a proprietary design along the lines of the MRP or have they devised a way to allow the use of std barrel assemblies?

[Frank Castle]

Nevermind. Found the answer on Mega's Website. Proprietary Barrel Nut BUT Std Barrels. This could be very promising. I also like the fact that they went with 7075 Vs 6061- I don't think strength or flexing will be an issue. Hopefully the barrel nut will be sufficiently designed/engineered and user friendly. Looking forward to more photos and details from SHOT.

[Stickman]

Another quick shot....

Standard barrels with a unique barrel nut, and each comes with its own tool for installation.

[SHIVAN]

Standard barrels with a unique barrel nut, and each comes with its own tool for installation.

Any pics of the tool? I presume it is a little longer than rail length, since I do not see any cutouts for tool access near the barrel nut?

I'll post the Compak16 with snap on can
and the new Takedown rifle in 338 Lapua also with snap on can.

[Stickman]

Very nice, very nice. :D



I'm always a fan of not having to lineup the teeth on a barrel nut.

Good eye!

[Impact]

heheh..will they start offering them ? they are in your neck of the woods right ? :D

[Frank Castle]

Without actually seeing the product, it appears from the pictures that the tool could not fit over even the lowest profile gas blocks and would therefore limit the user to barrel assemblies with an exposed gasblock or FSB? This would also necessitate removal of the same gasblock or FSB before one could remove the barrel. For these reasons, the MRP and VLTOR designs better meet my needs, but I applaud their innovative thinking and continued development of the AR platform.

[Armati]

That's cool and all...

But, I have yet to see a rail system in military service that will not need to be replace at some point. If your stick only goes from range bag to range mat you should be ok.

Fast roping, moving thru buildings, CQB, and things banging around in trucks can raise hell with rails. Not to mention the Mongo operator who thinks more is more when touring things down on the rail.

Not a flame, just an observation.

[Magsz]

Stick,

Any chance you can take a picture of the rail profile? I would love to see it from the front to get an idea of how wide/tall it is.

[tirod]

Stop me if I'm overthinking this - With the announcement of the M4A1 barrel as issue now, and seeing a picitinny mounted M203 -

Are we seeing the end of the barrel mounted versions? No barrel cuts (?) means something besides better heat resistance in a Colt test cell.

Mounting the M203 on a rail would imply a solid attachment.

Stretching further, would that also imply a future COTS requirement for a bottom rail? Barrel cuts were, even tho most rifles and carbines didn't get the launcher.

I don't see the 40mm going away, therefore some accomodations have to be made - and we all will have to live with them to some degree.

[kbi]

That upper looks slick. Great pic's as always stickman.














Now if I could just find a job to afford such a nice upper :(

[NSR500]

Have they mentioned pricing on this yet? Ballpark at least?

[C-Fish]

Here is more info from Mega's site...

Monolithic Tactical System Quad Rail (http://www.megamachineshop.com/armscatalog/MTS-QUAD/loader.html)

There is also this (http://www.megamachineshop.com/armscatalog/MTS-SINGLE/loader.html) version, which looks to be designed for the gamers.

[BWilson]

Due to a last minute cancellation of our meeting room contract and other
actions by the Venetian, NSSF and show organizers, Wilson Combat was forced to move our product display/meeting room scheduled for Jan 20th and 21st from 9am - 4pm to Harrah's Las Vegas, 2nd Floor Parlor "D". We would like to apologize in advance for any inconvenience to you, our valued customer.

Hope to see you there.

[Linus]

Pretty interesting, a definite alternative to LMT's or Vltor's design Monolithic rail uppers.

[militarymoron]

great pics as usual, stick!
can you install a low profile gas block inside the rail, since you can't install the barrel with the gas block already attached?
it's nice to have a rifle-length rail with mid or carbine gas system inside. i'm assuming that if you do, you'll have to drill some holes in the handguard for set screw or pin access.

Yes, the underneath of the rail is cutout for that.

[chg380]

Great work Stickman.

[Stickman]

Nothing but a teaser.... but more to come.

I'm pretty excited to see what they are gonna offer this year...Hey Stick are you gonna be at Shot Show?

[bradb55]

More Sir. Please !

[BSHNT2015]

Well I guess I'll see you there.

[Buck]

That was not very nice... Ill be sure to stop by...

[orionz06]

I hear they have an iPhone case...?

[Titleist]

I hear they have an iPhone case...?

Next time I'm doing urban prone in their carbine class and Chris yells "TXT 'EM!" I'll be good to go.

[orionz06]

have you seen the KAC mount for the iPhone?

[Stickman]

have you seen the KAC mount for the iPhone?



Yes, I have one, check the KAC thread, I just posted a picture.

[vinesr6]

How much for them catalogs...must have one!

[Stickman]

Midlength with an 18" barrel.


http://stickman.rainierarms.com/galleries/WEVO%20II/IMG_4539-1024-Stick.jpg

[Stickman]

Much larger catalogs than the previous years....

[LOKNLOD]

Not sure what all it will contain, but here's hoping to Midlength MOE's, and a purpose built forward sling mount for the MS2.

[Ak44]

I'm hoping for the rubber moe pistol grip this year...

[jp0319]

maybe one of these years I wont be deployed and can go to a show. I want a catalog also, love the logo on the front.

[glockeyed]

the graphic designer in me loves the [R] instead of ® :cool:

[JSGlock34]

MagPul 2010 catalog is up! (new website too...)

You have to register in order to download the catalog .pdfs. Looks like a logical progression of their product lineup - MOE handguards in multiple lengths, a forward attachment point for the MagPul sling, more PMAG varieties (including a 40 rounder), the ACR furniture (no prices on those yet), and yes, an iPhone case.

http://www.magpul.com/catalogsignup.html

[macman37]

The graphic designer in me wishes we could do away with © and ® and ™ all together and just have blanket disclaimers in the back of the book somewhere. ;)

Looking forward to finding out what's IN that catalog! Looks perfect bound, must have a lot of stuff in it... :D

[Microwvbleturtle]

Tell me about it. Deployed last year and missed it. I had tickets this year to spend a whole week in Vegas with a buddy. Had to cancel my tickets on Thursday when they finally told me I was going TDY to Campbell for three weeks starting tomorrow.

Constant disappointment.

[bones]

Very Stick ---keep us posted :)

[phoenixtx]

I like the PDW finger stop -- looks like one I did a few years ago for my own PDW build... I guess i should have patented it..... LOL!

Wonder if they will be selling those?

The KAC handstop isn't new...

[macman37]

D/L'd the catalog... Very nice. Both the product and the design of the book itself. :D

[Dirknar]

does anyone have pics of the Gen2 MBius?

Edited: I was finally able to veiw magpuls website. It wasnt working for a while.

I really am glad I just bought a pair of Mbus sights about a week and a half ago and now find out they have GEN 2 out..haha.. oh well, I like what they've done with the front sight.

[RAM Engineer]

Bought sights and a MS2 sling.

[the_fallguy]

I'm totally psyched about the new MOE gear! I'm already making a list and wondering impatiently when the new stuff will be released.

Oh, and thanks, Stick, for the upcoming photos of the new Magpul goodies!

[nozzle13]

I think they are AUGsome. I think I might have to get one! Seems like it would be a lot less hassle than going the SBR route for the same size weapon. As long as I don't have to buy new magazines. Just have to retrain some muscle memory for mag swaps.

I haven't held a real AUG yet, but I have held the other brand. They are so stable free hand it's like using a 6 foot bipod while standing, and I like that.

[nozzle13]

I'm wanting the battle rifle! Any idea if the Scar Heavy will be introduced to the public anytime soon?

[nozzle13]

Dang-it where are the pictures of the booth bunnies! Some one there needs to start a picture thread for those of us not privileged enough to go to SHOT.

Let's see some pictures so we can all experience SHOT in it's entirety.

[joffe]

Why are you bumping up threads from last year while this year's SHOT Show is ongoing? To make everyone believe SMGLee posted photos from this year? :o

[AggiePhil]

If the only real change to the MBUS is a size reduction, I'm not too worried. I had no complaints about that. I am stoked about the iPhone case and 40 round PMAGs though! :D

[ForTehNguyen]

front sight has a spring lock for the sight post like regular AR sights, something about the rear aperture too. Not worth upgrading over tho.

[AggiePhil]

Yeah, it actually says NO aperture window sight option, so I guess that's something they decided to do away with. Glad mine has it. :)

[RetreatHell]

The main benefit of the reduced size of the newest model of MBUS is that they can now fit underneath magnified optics, which the original MBUS could not do (in most cases I'm aware of, including my NF 2.4-10X24).

I knew these were too big before they even came out and they can't compete against Troy.

[AggiePhil]

You can download it off their website right now. :confused:

[cmecha]

i agree. booth bunnies

wow first post

[RetreatHell]

I knew these were too big before they even came out and they can't compete against Troy.

Yeah, I went from Troy rear BUIS, to MBUS, to KAC.... I'm now back to Troy. They are hands down the best folding BUIS out there IMHO. I really liked my KAC BUIS, both types, but I couldn't stand not having both apertures available! The smaller 600m peep sight is too slow on target at closer ranges, and the larger aperture 300m sight is hard as hell to BZO without the plastic peep insert. So I'm back to Troys and happy as can be!

However, I will say that the MBUS is the best BUIS out there right now for the money, and the people buying them most likely don't have $1,000-$2,000 glass mounted on their guns anyways, so it fills plenty of shooters' roles out there I think. Especially KISS carbines.

Semper Fi,

-Paul

[rugbymike]

Stickman you sir are a tease. I'm sure in the next few days I'll see plenty of pics and videos on youtube. I noticed a digi camo CTR and what look like textured XTM rail covers. I do believe I also say a digi camo PMAG in another picture. I'm interested to see if magpul makes mags for different platforms like the M14 or M1A. And of course prospective replacements for the SAW are always exciting.

[C45P312]

You can download it off their website right now. :confused:

I want the actual catalog to add to my bookcase. lol

Sounds cheesy I know, but I just added a bookcase to my man room and would like to try and fill it up. Already got the Kyle Lamb book on order

[TOrrock]

The second this thread starts down the Babe of the Day path, it is getting locked and trashed.

[FR0GMAN]

Yeah, it actually says NO aperture window sight option, so I guess that's something they decided to do away with. Glad mine has it. :)

Key word, option. The apertures are still there. You just have the ability to fold them both down, forward, out of the way.

DAM an iPhone case from MP....

I might dump the upgrade to the DROID now......

[Drummer]

so...the two big questions are weight and cost?:D Oh, and when can I have one?

[Shotdown]

I asked a few questions at Shot today. The Magpul Iphone case and handgun DVD will be out in February. Also, the Bushmaster ACR will be out in March (MSRP $2100).

I believe those photos of SHOT 2010 yet to be posted might answer the question. It is rumored, but the first thing is to release an actual working versionin 5.56.

[Country DeVil]

what is this pink fluffy bunny of death you speak of?

[ForTehNguyen]

I asked a few questions at Shot today. The Magpul Iphone case and handgun DVD will be out in February. Also, the Bushmaster ACR will be out in March (MSRP $2100).

this is a different price from what was posted on Bushmasters website. $2100 is the dealer pricing so more for the street price

Isn't that the beauty of the whole system? As long as barrels are available they are easy to swap around... The key word "available"!

Good to see the left side with ambi-controls.

Hopefully we'll get the real details on barrel twist as well - I've seen several different twists quoted....

Spooky
