Fake EOTech 512s Spotted on Amazon

1

Looks like fake EOTech optics are back on Amazon, I spotted this EOTech 512 knock off on Amazon at around $45 shipped while shopping yesterday. I was under the impression that Amazon took down these EOTech copies, these are probably the same fake EOTech’s sold at the gunshows that many unscrupulous sellers pass off as the real deal. Reviews on it on Amazon are mixed, I wouldn’t buy one for a my real deal .223/5.56 AR-15 but it would probably make a decent optic for a trainer airsoft gun or maybe a .22lr AR-15. I use budget optics on my .22 rifles, just realize what you’re buying and don’t expect it to perform anywhere near the real deal.

In case you bought what you thought was a real EOTech at a gunshow, online seller, forum etc and suspect it may be a fake, here’s a guide on how-to tell if your EOTech is a knock off.

Brazilian Cops Stop Plane With Their Car

Down in Brazil it seems the cops have a different style of doing things, at least the cops who aren’t paid off to look the other way. By a different style, I mean crashing their police car into a drug runner’s airplane or shooting at their getaway cars from a helicopter. Check out the two videos below that were posted on Jalopnik today.

The first video below was in Santa Vitória, Brazil and shows federal police using their own police car to push the plane off the runway before it could take off. Five suspects were caught with more than 500 pounds of cocaine. The second video is from Ribeiráo Preto, Brazil where police took out a plane that was smuggling stolen electronics to Paraguay.

The pic to the left is from the movie Elite Squad about the elite BOPE officers in Brazil, it’s definitely worth a watch! So is the sequel Elite Squad: The Enemy Within. Yeah I just wanted a reason to plug these awesome movies. Back to the videos.

In the market for high capacity Glock mags but can’t find any in-stock anywhere? Well I just stumbled upon a site that has a few in stock. I’ve never heard of this outfit before, but Sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com has quite a bit of stuff in-stock and with free shipping. I just picked up a factory Glock 33 round mag at $50 with free shipping, it’s a bit higher than pre-panic prices but at least they’re not going for $100 a pop like on gun broker. They also have Korean made KCI high capacity mags in 9mm, .40S&W and .45acp for $30 shipped, you can find all of the mags they have in stock HERE.

Magpul has been on a roll with new products lately, they recently announced their new 1911 grips and MBUS Pro sights for the AR-15. Well now it looks like Magpul has entered yet another market, they just released their new MDSLR Sling for use with DSLR cameras, point and shoots and even camcorders. We were able to get a media sample before its full release, check out our quick review below.

Remington 870 Bullpup Kit

870-shotgun-bullpup

It looks like there are more and more bullpup stock kits entering the market all the time, well here’s one from Bullpup Unlimited I just stumbled upon for the popular Remington 870 shotgun. As with any typical bullpup kit, the overall lenght of the firearm is shortened with no loss of barrel lenght as the 870 action sits further back. The kit does add a little under a pound of weight to your shotgun but the weight is transfered further back, so I’d assume it would actually improve the balance of the shotgun. The Bullpup Unlimited kit uses an AR-style pistol grip and has plenty of rail space for grips, lights or lasers. At $359 it’s almost the cost of an actual 870, but if you’ve always wanted a bull pup shotgun then this might be a sweet project to play with.

New Magpul 1911 Grip Panels

magpul-1911-grips

Looks like Magpul just threw their hat into the 1911 accessory ring with their new 1911 grip panels. At under $25 it’s very affordable like most of the products in Magpul’s lineup. It’s made right here in the USA and was designed and tested with input from Magpul’s instructors from their training division. It’s made of carbon reinforced polymer and have a diamond-shaped cross section to prevent your 1911 from twisting in your hand. It has an aggressive mag release cut-out as well and works with ambidextrous safeties. They’ll fit right up with full-size framed 1911s with standard grip screw bushings. Currently they’ll only be available in carbon gray and are due out in late summer 2013. Check them out over at Magpul.com.

Sig Sauer’s New SB15 Pistol Stabilizing Brace

sig-sauer-sb15-brace

Sig Sauer introduced their new SB15 Pistol Stabilizing Brace today. Designed as a shooter’s aid to improve the single-handed use of AR-15 pistols. It’s made in the USA of elasto-polymer and fits all AR-style buffer tubes from 1″ to 1.2″ in diamter. The brace uses the shooter’s forearm for support with a flexible cuff and two adjustable nylon straps. The SB15 is ATF approved according to Sig and a part of the proceeds will go towards helping veterans of HAVA (Honored American Veterans Afield). The SB15 retails for $139 and is available over at SigSauer.com. Check out the video below of the SB15 in action, I think it’s a pretty neat accessory for any AR-15 pistol build. My only question is can it be used to shoulder the pistol? The design looks like it may make that difficult to do.

New Magpul MBUS Pro

magpul-MBUS-pro

Magpul recently announced their new MBUS Pro, an all steel construction sight for the AR-15. Their extremely popular MBUS polymer sights were the go-to budget sights for quite some time because of their low price and high build quality. The rear MBUS Pro sight has both large and small same-plane apertures and is just .375″ tall them folded down. The front MBUS Pro sight is slightly thicker at .432″ tall when stowed but doesn’t require any tools to adjust elevation, a pretty darn cool feature if you ask me. Both sights are expected to be available by late summer 2013. You an find info on the new MBUS Pro over at Magpul.com.

Magpul MS3 Sling Spotted in ‘Oblivion’

I watched the new Tom Cruise Sci-Fi flick Oblivion over the weekend, I was really digging the cool futuristic sidearms Cruise’s character was rocking in the movie when I noticed something pretty neat. He was using a Magpul MS3 sling with his rifle, it was custom painted to match his rifle and costume but it was pretty obvious what it was to a gun enthusiast like me. Anyone else catch it?

We’re pretty big The Walking Dead fans here at ArmoryBlog (but not fans of zombie themed guns I might add). If you’re a Walking Dead fan like us then I’m sure this sweet new zombie head tank Blu-ray case for season three of The Walking Dead is on your wishlist. At over $100 it’s not cheap, but it includes all of season three on Blu-ray and a bunch of zombie heads in a fish tank case, how cool is that? Now I just need to convince the wife to let me buy one for the Blu-ray case in the living room. You can pick one up online at Amazon.com.

If you’re a The Walking Dead fan check out our past post on Michonne’s Katana that you can actually buy, Daryl’s Crossbow and Rick’s .357 Colt Python. We’ve also compiled a list of the Guns of  The Walking Dead that we’ve been updating throughout the series.
