Cross Machine Tool (CMT) is promoting their newest billet AR-15 lower receiver – the Gen 2 UHP 15. CMT prides itself in using only the highest quality materials, using the latest in CNC technology. The AR receivers are manufactured on a 5 Axis Machining center that machines the receivers in a single set up.
CMT desires to make products that users can be excited to use an any environment they find themselves in. The Gen 2 UHP 15 billet lower receiver has several standard features that have become must-haves for serious AR-15 shooters. This includes a flared mag-well that has a textured front for better handling, and an enlarged trigger guard to assist shooters using gloves.
Magpul announced a new addition to their popular MOE line of products – the MOE Fixed Carbine Stock. Available in both Mil-Spec and Commercial models the Fixed Carbine Stock provides shooters with another option to satisfy their personal preferences, or State-mandated rifle accessories. The new addition is specifically designed for Carbine-length buffer tubes.
The MOE Fixed Carine Stock has many similar features of the popular MOE collapsible stock. Unlike the previous MOE fixed stock option, the MOE Rifle Stock, the new Fixed Carbine Stock has an open frame that closely resembles the look of the collapsible stock version. The open frame is a little longer and larger than the collapsible stock version, and there is a fixed spacer at the front of the stock. That spacer is designed to envelope the bottom half of the castle nut.
When you think of polymer AR-15 magazines, Magpul PMAGs are almost the universal image that comes to mind. The company now aims to make you think “Magpul AK-47 magazine” when you need to feed your Eastern Bloc gun.
I recently read an independent test in a tactical magazine that compared 5 different polymer magazines. Though several other brands scored high, the Magpul PMAG was still the reigning champ. From dusty battlegrounds to the mean streets, to home defense and beyond, Magpul has produced a great magazine that is enjoyed by many.
PMAG 30 AK MOE
Until recently Magpul has focused most of the PMAG magazines on the AR rifle market. The most popular mag being for the AR-15, but also offering magazines for the AR-10 in .308 caliber, and two options for the British SA80 and the H&K G36.
For the first time, however, Magpul has entered the increasingly popular AK-47 market with the new PMAG 30 AK MOE. The new PMAG 30 for the AK-47 brings all the experience, expertise, and technical magic that has made the Magpul PMags so popular in the AR market to the Kalashnikov world. Specifically designed to work in the AK-47, AKM, AKS, and similarly patterned rifles chambered for the 7.62×39, the AK MOE is a 30-round lightweight polymer magazine that offers a removable base plate, constant curve, and the highly regarded and dependable Magpul follower.
Magpul Industries Corporation has been in the news lately with its bold stand for gun owners and gun rights. When the Colorado elected officials voted to limit law-abiding citizens’ use of high capacity magazines, Magpul immediately put out a press release stating that they would be moving their business out of state.
Now in the midst of their big move, Magpul has announced the release of new furniture for AR-15 style rifles and the venerable 1911 pistols.
Magpul has already produced a very popular AR-15 flip-down sights in the original and Gen II MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight). Made with the same high-quality polymer construction as their extremely popular PMags, Magpul’s original MBUS sights have found great popularity and high reviews for durability and function. The original MBUS was lightweight, yet sturdy, and used a nice spring-activated mechanism to flip the sight into shooting position. The user could then simultaneously press two levers on opposite sides of the sight to fold the MBUS back into a low profile position.
