Most of us know John Moses Browning was the genius behind iconic guns like the 1911, Browning Hi-Power and Browning M2 .50 cal machine gun all of which are still in use by various police departments and militaries around the world. Those were just the tip of the iceberg, John Browning developed quite a few guns in his time, here’s a list of his most notable designs.
Kel-Tec recently sent out a batch of their new KSG shotguns to the US Corrections-Special Operations Group (US C-SOG), so far they’re really liking the KSG. The KSG actually really makes sense for correctional officers, the KSG is short and can be used in tight spaces, holds 15-rounds and can switch between two different types of loads. Check out the KSG in action with US C-SOG below, they really put it through its paces.
Here’s a smoking deal on a set of 45 degree offset backup iron sights for your AR-15. If you’re running a scope on your AR and need a set of BUIS these offset ones should do the trick. They feature 1/2 MOA elevation and windage adjustments, 7075 aluminum construction, an ambidextrous design and are the same height above the rifles bore as standard M4/AR15 iron sights.
The best part? They’re only $25!
Edit: It seems like the price fluctuates lower and higher than $25 on the Amazon listing every so often, be sure to view the “More Buying Choices” section for the lowest price.
I like it when Apple releases a new iPhone, not because I’m an iPhone user or because of the new features and technology. No, I like seeing them blow up and shot to pieces. RatedRR shot a .50 caliber round at a brand spanking new iPhone 5 recently and posted a video of the aftermath on YouTube. Actually the iPhone 5 did surprisingly well against that big bullet.
Micor Defense recently announced that their new Leader 50 .50 caliber bullpup rifle is now available for pre-order. The Leader 50 features a gas-operated short stroke piston, high strength maraging steel used in the breech mechanism and a 10-round detachable magazine. It also features all the benefits you’d come to expect with a bullpup such has a shorter overall length and weight for ease of use. It also features a gigantic muzzle brake, look at that thing it’s like the size of a newborn baby.
How much is the new Leader 50? Try around $10K, pre-orders require a $1,999 deposit with delivery expected around the first quarter of 2013. Check them out at MicorDefense.com
Posted a while back on GunMartBlog, Springfield Armory is now selling gun wall clings similar to the sports Fatheads that have been around for a while. They go for $30 and are 20″x20″ in size, they have them available for most of their pistols as well as their SOCOM rifle and M1A rifles. Check them out at Springfieldarmory.com.
Remember the blue butchered K98 post from a while back? Well it looks like another classic WWII rifle has been hit with the blue bug. Based off the My Little Pony character and popular meme Princess Luna, this Mosin Nagant rifle got the blue treatment too. At least it looks like it was just a blue paint job that can be easily reversed. What ever floats people’s boats I guess.

Magpul is probably the hottest AR-15 accessory maker around, did you know they make iPhone cases too? Just like their butt stocks, magazines and grips (and pretty much everything else in their product line), their iPhone cases are made right here in the USA. The Magpul Field case is made from the same synthetic rubber as their original Magpul loop and has the same ribs as the popular PMAG AR-15 magazine. They’re available in black, flat dark earth, OD green, foliage, orange and pink.
There’s two kinds of iPhone and smart phone cases, the cheapy ones you get at the kiosks at the mall and the higher quality cases that come with a premium price. The Magpul Field Case is the best of both worlds. Even though the Field case is made right here in the US of A, it’s set at a price that won’t break the bank. MSRP is under $10 at most retailers, cheaper than most of those flimsy eBay specials and mall kiosk cases. Yet the quality surpasses pretty much any iPhone case at $10, or even at $20 actually.
The iPhone snaps into the case really easily and fits in there snug, it pops out just as easily too in case you need to remove it. The screen of the iPhone is protected by a lip when being placed face down. (note the picture above shows a screen protector, the case does not come with one).
The case has adequate openings for the iPhone’s camera and flash, headphone output and volume controls. The Magpul Field Case is thin and doesn’t add too much bulk, yet it’s still rather stiff and provides pretty good protection for the phone. It’s no Otterbox case, but I’ve dropped my iPhone once at the range in the Magpul Field case and it was luckily undamaged.
I don’t recommend dropping your phone no matter what case you use, but I’m confident the Magpul Field case will take a beating while still protecting your phone from major damage. The Magpul Field Case’s texture has a good amount of grip. It won’t slip out of your hands easily but it also won’t get stuck in your pocket as you pull it out like silicone cases tend to do.
Conclusion
Magpul makes great products, and their iPhone cases are no exception. At under $10 and made in the USA, the Magpul Field case really delivers. It’s simple, affordable and gets the job done. I used to be an Otterbox guy, and while I still like Otterbox cases for their great protection, after using the Magpul Field case I’ve now been converted. I’m even going to go so far and say the Magpul Field case is my new favorite case for my iPhone 4S.
