NEW!! Centurion Arms CMR Rail System

Posted on May 16th, 2013 by ar15news

After weeks and months of being teased by all of the Stickman gunporn pictures of the new Centurion Arms CMR rail system the wait is finally over.  The CMR is a modular tubular style rail that features low profile attachment options such as 1913 picatinny rail sections, bipod mount, light mount, handguard covers, etc.  As with the original Centurion Arms rail, the C4, the CMR is built to withstand the worst punishment you can throw at it.  The CMR will be available as a 12″ and 14″ model in both 5.56 and 7.62/.308 versions.  The 7.62/.308 models shipped first so they are in-stock right now over at RainierArms.com.  The first batch of 5.56 models will be shipping today so you’ll start to see them in-stock over the next few days at the dealers listed below.  Just in case you missed some of the awesome photos of the CMR I’ve added some for you drool over courtesy of the one and only Stickman.

NEW!! Rainier Arms RUC REV LW 16 Rifle

Posted on May 15th, 2013 by ar15news

Rainier Arms just announced the newest addition to their RUC (Rainier Arms Urban Carbine) line of lightweight, quality, feature rich AR15′s.  It’s called the RUC REV which now features the new 14″ REV rail by Fortis Manufacturing.  The REV is an extremely lightweight rail that is somewhat of a hybrid featuring both KeyMod and 1913 Picatinny mounting options.  The details for the RUC REV are pretty impressive as well whether looking at it from a feature or spec stand point.  Weighing in at just 6lbs 6ounces you’d think it was just a basic rifle but it comes complete with an M16/FA BCG, Battle Arms Development 45 Degree Ambi Selector, ALG Defense QMS Trigger, 16″ CHF barrel, Rainier Arms Raptor ambi charging handle, VLTOR IMOD stock and Diamondhead sights just to name a few.  With so many people paying a grand or more for a basic rifle the the RUC REV is also an awesome value with a price tag of just $1,495.  If you don’t have the time, desire or know how to build a rifle from scratch this is a great rifle to pick up.  Check out the pics and details below.  Purchase only at RainierArms.com.

We are now introducing the Rainier Arms RUC REV™ which is one of the lightest 16″ rifle weighing in at 6 lbs 6.1 oz. By incorporating the Fortis REV™ 14″ and a Lightweight Cold Hammer Forged Barrel that is both accurate and resilient we were able to construct this pound for pound light weight rifle. Target acquisition is effortless & extremely fast due to the unique design of the Diamond Head Back Up Iron Sights, and a Geissele QMS trigger offers a fluid trigger platform for smooth shooting. To accommodate our ambidextrous shooters, we have installed our Rainier Arms Raptor ambidextrous charging handle by AXTS and B.A.D. selector 45° levers. With all of these components put together, the RUC REV™ is unparalleled in performance. All materials used are of industry-leading standards, each weapon carefully and meticulously assembled with a limited lifetime warranty.

NEW!! Blue Force Gear PLATEminus Ultra Lightweight PC

Posted on April 26th, 2013 by ar15news

I think by now pretty much everyone is familiar with Blue Force Gear’s pattent pending MOLLEminus technology.  Since its introduction in June of last year, Blue Force Gear has created an awesome line of ultra lightweight tactical gear.  Now, after a few months of anticipation since SHOT Show 2013, they have introduced the Blue Force Gear PLATEminus.  PLATEminus is high on quality but extremely low on weight and bulk making it perfect for concealing under a jacket or shirt.  Weighing in at just under .75 lbs this has to be one of the lightest PC’s ever made.  

As you can see in the picture below, the PLATEminus features the MOLLEminus technology which is extremely low profile for low visibility when worn under garments but allows you to still attach all of your preferred mag pouches, etc. for other applications.  If you want to keep up with the awesome weight savings and quality you would add some BFG Ten-Speed M4 Mag Pouches but any Molle compatible accessories will work.

The following photos show just how low profile the PLATEminus really is.  This is about as close as you can get to having the life saving benefits of Ballistic Plates without the bulk of a Plate Carrier.  

I know most of us are getting used to seeing astronomical prices on anything related to the shooting industry anymore and you’re probably expecting to see some $350-500 price tag on something like this.  **SURPRISE!!**  The price tag on the PLATEminus is just $175 which is not bad at all for this Made In the USA   PC.  Right now BFG is introducing the PLATEminus in MultiCam but it will soon be available in other colors such as Coyote Brown and Gray.  Purchase yours now at BlueForceGear.com or OPTactical.com

Magpul MOE Handguard Bipod Mount for just $16

Posted on April 10th, 2013 by ar15news

If you are like myself or many other AR owners that have built a nice lightweight AR with a Magpul MOE Handguard on it you’re no doubt familiar with Impact Weapons Components and their line of Mount-N-Slot components.  IWC is the premier manufacturer of light mounts, sling attachments, hand stops, etc. designed to work with the MOE Handguard.  One thing that’s been kind of lacking is the ability to efficiently attach a bipod to the MOE handguard.  With bipods you have two options.  Either mount it to a 1913 picatinny rail or to a sling swivel stud.  Instead of buying an adapter for your bipod to mount to a picatinny rail and then buying a small rail section for your MOE handguard you can just buy the new IWC Bipod V2 Mount-N-Slot.  This mount will work with any bipod that mounts to a standard sling swivel stud and as shown in the pics below it allows the bipod to rest against the MOE to give it better stability and strength.  Its a nice low profile design but it also is much more affordable at just $15.95.  Don’t forget to use “AR15NEWS” at checkout to save 5% off of this and the rest of the awesome products IWC makes or carries.  Get  yours at ImpactWeaponsComponents.com.

BIPOD-V2 MOUNT-N-SLOT – Made by Impact Weapons Components in Colorado:

NEW IMPROVED BIPOD MOUNT-N-SLOT:

WEIGHT REDUCED BY 0.6 OUNCES, TO 1.23 OUNCES TOTAL WEIGHT

HEIGHT REDUCED BY 30%

INCREASED STABILITY AND LOWER PROFILE IMPROVES ACCURACY The higher the bipod is relative to the bore, the more stable the rifle will be on top of it because for the same height off the ground the bipod legs will be wider. Swivel-style bipods should be mounted as “high” as possible so that their swivel axis is as close to the bore axis as possible, which reduces sight/barrel movement for the same amount of rotational correction for leveling.

100% LIFETIME WARRANTY. PERIOD. Return for full refund including your shipping charges

DIRECT attach design eliminates the need for 2 separate mounts; 1- A bipod mount and 2 – A Picatinny MIL-Spec 1913 Bolt-on Rail Section

SPEND LESS MONEY: Compare to $50.00 or more for a Bipod Mount + a Rail Section + Shipping Charges

Accepts any bipod which attaches to a standard sling swivel stud

Ergonomic, DIRECT attach design eliminates all sharp edges which can ensnarl the operators gear

Attach BIPOD-V2 MOUNT-N-SLOT once and leave it on; BIPOD-V2 is the same height as a Picatinny MIL-Spec 1913 Bolt-on Rail Section

47% lower profile than a separate Bipod Mount and Picatinny MIL-Spec 1913 Bolt-on Rail Section

3 or more parts are eliminated from your firearm, based on our competitions mounts used

Micro-Adjustable mounting allows the operator to mount anywhere through any slot or combination of slots on the firearm hand guard

CNC Machined from 303 Stainless Steel and 6061-T6 aluminum; Hard anodized Type III matte finish per MIL-A-8625F
