NEW!! 1MOA Solutions – Combat Operations Data Book

Posted on March 14th, 2013 by ar15news

The 1MOA Solutions Combat Operations Data Book was designed to withstand the kind of abuse Snipers encounter when crawling through the dirt and mud or operating in inclement weather.

By utilizing a modular design Shooters are able to add to or remove data inserts to fit their individual needs or mission requirements. Currently the Combat Operations Data Book is the only product of its kind constructed of rip resistant and water proof materials. This combination of features ensures you receive the maximum return on your investment.

Shooters who are currently using the US Army Sniper School data book or similar commercial products will be familiar with the format and able to quickly employ this version.

Combining the required formats to record target engagement data with additional pages containing mission planning and support info (such as 9 Line MEDEVAC, Call for fire/Close Air Support requests, Operations Order Templates, and Troop Leading Procedures) provides the warfighter a tool that increases effectiveness on the battlefield. Shooters now have one hard use product they can rely on instead of struggling with multiple data books, smart cards, or SOP’s.

Additional data inserts containing information on the XM2010 .300WM, M107 .50 cal, and advanced ballistic formulas will be available for the MIL/LE orders.  Email info@1moasolutions.com if you have any questions or for more details.

Each Combat Operations Data Book includes a three ring poly binder (8.5in x 5.5in) in tan or brown and 118 waterproof/tear resistant/writable sheets containing standard formulas and data gathering pages (see list below).

HammerHead Rifle Tool – Review

Posted on February 26th, 2013 by ar15news

A while back I was sent a tool to review.  This tool was the HammerHead Rifle Tool.  While reviewing tools is not nearly as fun as reviewing guns or accessories this was actually something I got to use quite a bit.  I’m always tearing down rifles and putting them back together in different configurations for different photos etc. and the HammerHead Rifle Tool came in handy time after time.

I think its safe to say that the HammerHead Rifle Tool was designed around its very unique Castle Nut Wrench.  This tool features an opening that slides over a bare buffer tube and engages all 4 notches of the castle nut at the same time which really allows you to tighten the Castle Nut.  This is one of my favorite features of this tool.  The fit is very precise which helps you to have confidence that when you do give it a good torque its not going to slip off the Castle Nut as I’ve had happen so many times in the past and sometimes really mess up the threads on the tube.  Lots of my Castle Nuts look as though they’ve been chewed on by a dog with steel teeth.

The tool also features two very smartly designed Flash Hider wrenches.  The angle and position of the cuts made it so getting stubborn old Flash Hiders off and installing new ones a breeze.  Included are wrenches for .750″ and .825″ size FH’s.  The handle doesn’t have as many cutouts at the edge to hurt your hand but I would love to see them do some type of rubber backstrap for a bit of added comfort.  Just my $.02 though and not anything that would deter me from purchasing one.

The HHRT is made of 3/16 thick head treated 1095 steel and is definitely built well.  There is a Titanium version available as well.  There are so many other little features included with this tool.  These include a 1/4, 1/2 and 3/8 torque drive sockets, 5/8 A2 style stock extension tube wrench and a receiver take down / pivot pin punch (or glass breaker in a pinch, LoL)  I honestly didn’t get a ton of use out of these but had I needed them, they would have been there and that is what matters.  One of the only things I feel like is missing is a barrel nut wrench.  I am always swapping out barrels or building a new upper and need a barrel nut wrench quite often.  However, there are things that the HammerHead Rifle Tool does better than any other tool I’ve used such as the Castle Nut and Flash Hider wrenches which is why it will always have a place in my range bag and armorers kit.  

These are available for purchase at HammerHeadRifleTool.com for just $41.50 which to me seems like an awesome price.  Also, don’t forget to stop by the HammerHead Rifle Tool Facebook page and give them a “LIKE”.

NEW!! Gem State Armory – AR Armorers Wrench – Review

Posted on August 8th, 2012 by ar15news

I’ve built quite a few rifles lately for myself or friends and have found myself wondering why every Armorers Wrench I’ve tried had been junk so I started looking around for the king of all armorers wrenches.  With the popularity of building AR’s instead of buying an off the shelf model there are more and more manufacturers jumping in on the Armorer Tool market.  Some are junk, some are okay but very few are really high quality products that have had some thought put into their construction and design.  There were tons of junk but I finally saw a post on Facebook for the Gem State Armory – AR Armorers Wrench and realized my search had ended. 

I decided to talk to Jeff, the owner of Gem State Armory, regarding their AR Armorers Wrench.  He was super stoked to get the word about his new wrench out to you guys and a few weeks later one showed up in the mail.  The first thing I did was get out a few other tools I had and compare them all and as always you can immediately tell a difference between the turds and the diamond.   Continue reading “NEW!!
