We dropped a bunch of new SHOT images in earlier today, but my laptop and connection are giving me fits, which is killing images that are currently shot and waiting to be uploaded.

Magpul released new items, and if you check out the new accessories section, there should be multiple views of new Magpul magazines, stocks, and some other equipment from Magpul Dynamics.

We will be getting up a lot more pictures as we get a little free time. Until individual threads get started by people about the different released products, this seems like a good place for discussion, questions, and of course pictures as soon as we can get them up.

I'm also having difficulty getting pictures up. But some of the items that I noticed were:

CAA Polymer Magazine with ammo counter $25.95
YHM spring loaded flip up sights $199
Ergo Drop In Rail System & FF Rail System $159 & $179
SigArms 522 (.22LR rifle that looks a lot like the SIG556) $425

Pictures to follow

quick question about the Magpul sling. Wasn't it supposed to be some sort of hybrid , which can be used as a singlepsling and then transformed into a twopsling?

Yes, though the YouTube video where Costa is demonstrating this doesn't really provide a good view of the connector configuration. This plate and sling combination interest me greatly, and it would certainly be nice to see a clearer (still) view.

Yes, it is a convertible single/ 2 point adjustable sling. ARMS has released one as well. The original info that I wrote, along with the picture taken was of a early one, and I had very limited info. If you check the dates of when the posts were made, it was before SHOT.

If you take a look at the pictures posted, you can see how it works, when production models are ready, we will have more pictures. Actually, we might have them sooner.

The sling plate has several pictures shown on the board as well. Even though they aren't images of the finished version, they are pretty close, and everything appears the same from what I've been able to tell. The only difference between the one I shot for the catalog, and the ones on the display weapons at the booth are that the booth ones have a dark finish.



The heavy anti-rotation tabs and rear slider section make it really stand out.

ah thanks stick! will you do a review of one of the slings once they sell them commercially?

oh and yeah...I want that asap mount :)

I'm not 100% sure what will happen with the review. I'm looking to bring on a few more Staff members in LEO/ MIL to work reviews, so I doubt it will be me. The ARMS new sling is another adjustable 1 or 2 point sling that has a couple inches of hard elastic inside. Both slings are similar, but I'll need to spend more time.

The GS-2P (Gear Sector) is already an adjustable 1 point/ 2point that I've worked with and carried, so the concept is one I like.

Seekins Precision - New Company. Retail should be $350 and ETA is about 3-4 months out. They are just finishing up their license and trying to get machines in so it's going to be a long process. Rainier Arms will be stocking these lowers when they come available and we'll be the first to get them according to Glen.

Stick, John or anyone else at SHOT's, do you have any pictures from Daniel Defense? I haven't seen any pictures of their M4, Omega 12.0 FSP or anything else.

If you take a look at the pictures posted, you can see how it works ...

Somehow I managed to miss the fact that we had already slipped a read only Magpul Dynamics Sling thread (http://www.weaponevolution.com/forum/showthread.php?t=782) on to the New Accessories board.

That more than addresses all of my questions -- and I've obviously got some others to catch up on (ACS, Enhanced Stock Pad, ASAP Sling Mount ...).

Thanks much, Stick!

CAA Polymer Mag with Counter. It was much nicer than I imagined.

Stark Pistol Grip.
It looks a little funny but it feels great. The trigger finger rests really nicely in the ready position.

PS. The Ergo rail system is extremely thin - just like the Daniel Defense OMEGA rails and the price point is amazing. I think those will be a hot seller.

PSS. The DD rifle pictures will be up soon.

I am going to have to try out one of those Stark pistol grips. It looks like it will be extremely comfortable, and place your hand in perfect relation to the trigger.

Interesting, the Omega is very different then their current offerings. The cut-away in the pdf explains a lot.

Well, congrats to DanielDefense - they just deprived me of more money once the Omega 12.0M4 RS comes out. That's the exact rail system I was hoping for with my M4 clone.

The VFG looks great as well. I'll probably end up with one of those, as well as a Mk18 rail for my CQBR.

I'll take the LT BUIS for now, but DD offering a complete rifle is interesting, to say the least.

The Stark pistol grips come in 3 colors currently: Tan, OD, and Black if my memory serves me correctly. The grip angle and finger relation to the trigger is very nice.

The guys from Stark were nice to talk with.
