GG&G Agency Looped Rear Sling Attachment

Basic 2 point and single point slings with the H&K style quick clips or snap hooks have become increasingly popular as a method to sling an AR-15. Although GG&G already manufactures several agency style sling attachments for this type of set up, the new Agency Single Loop Right Hand version is specifically manufactured for right hand shooters using collapsible stocks.

The GG&G Agency Rear Sling Adapters were originally developed because a few government agencies established policies indicating that if a tool needed to be used to remove a part of the AR15 or M16 to install a new accessory, the installation could not be done unless the work was performed by the agency's armorer or gunsmith. This caused a major problem for some agencies looking to quickly update their weapons with the latest accessories due to time constraints and the absence of local agency armorers.

The GG&G Agency Rear Sling Adapters only require that the rear assembly of the collapsible buttstock be removed. No tools required for that part removal. The Agency Rear Sling Adapter then slides over the tube and, once in proper position securely tightens around the castle lock nut. This new addition to the Agency Sling Attachment line up is in stock and ready to go.

Blackhawk SERPA Quick Disconnect System

The BLACKHAWK SERPA Quick Disconnect System was originally designed with tactical purposes in mind. But like many BLACKHAWK! products, has found its way into new markets. For hunters, handguns are simply an everyday part of life. They use them when they go afield, either in the woods or on the plains, whether it's on an African Safari or just out the back door in Pennsylvania. But predators don't just live in the wild. The unfortunate truth is that they live among us as well and so we also have handguns in our homes, cars and sometimes on our person.

One of the issues we face is how to move a pistol from location to location, in as safe a manner as possible and to make it as adaptable as possible for a wide variety of situations. The new SERPA Quick Disconnect System from BLACKHAWK does just that and does it in a way that is so simple and effective, you'll have one of those "Why didn't I think of that?" moments.

Developed originally for military units, who frequently need to move a holstered pistol between the equipment vest and a leg platform very quickly and without needing any tools to do so, the QD System is a clever adapter for both holster and mounting platform. The male adapter goes on the back of the holster and the female adapter goes literally anywhere you want to put the pistol. Under a desk, under the dash of a truck, in a closet, gun safe or cabinet. A simple release switch and a slight twist and the holster mounts and dismounts from the female adapter, wherever you have it located.

Of course, the system was originally designed for the SERPA holster and its' many mounting platforms, so it also allows you to move the holster between a belt loop, leg mount, Blackhawk hunting pack, shoulder harness or paddle mount just as easily and quickly.

Leupold Mark 4 CQ/T Rifle Scope just added

The Leupold Mark 4 CQ/T 1-3x14 mm rifle scope is for firearms such as the AR-15 and M16, combining the strengths of a red dot sight and the flexibility of a variable power riflescope. Just as important, the reticle is always visible, with or without batteries, so you're always prepared.

The Leupold CQ/T is also becoming a fast favorite with competitive shooters who appreciate its unique close and long range capabilities. The Leupold Mark 4 CQ/T Scope has fast target acquisition and illuminated reticle of a red dot sight, the utility of a 1x to 3x riflescope, and the ability to function with or without batteries. There is literally no other optical sight like the Leupold Mark 4 CQ/T riflescope.

Fallout from the Obama-Nation

The economy is yo-yoing and no one cal tell wheres it going. But the firearms industry is going gang-buster now. There is an incredible rush to the local gun shop and online web stores. Its mainly panic buying, people are now realizing that the USA is going to have the most anti-gun administration ever seen. obama doesn't believe or care about the second amendment being a personal right, despite the Supreme Court ruling and years of precedent. So people are rushing out to buy guns, any guns, while they can. Best thing to do is, take it slow and hunker down. In two years we have a chance to re-do the House of Representatives; in four the Presidency, the House again and some of the Senate.

If you are one of those buying, buy smart. Junk is still junk,. no matter the price. Buy for the future, and buy the best you can. Go with products from reputable dealers which are going to last and work.
