Is it gas or diesel? My only experience with Unimogs were the SEE trucks we used to have at my unit.

I'll make a note of it.

Rumors of the Ruger LCR in .357mag... that would bee neat to see.

**Stickman** · 17 January 2010, 17:30

Good rumor, I'll have to check it out.

I've had a few people email me about Robinson Arms suing Magpul & Remington in the past few days. The general thought is that they are trying to block the ACR release.

Check out the below link for more info, and the reason for the lawsuit. When you read the reason, think about the FN FAL....

Looks like FN announced their .45 tactical pistol already.

**Stickman** · 17 January 2010, 18:10

The new "Colt Tactical" line is already announced, and is geared towards an upper end crowd using off the shelf components. They used a non-LE/ non-MIL/ non-trainer guy for intel as to what the tactical community wants, and built up weapons from there (thats the info I was given, and from a reliable source).

Depending how you look at it, that may be a fantastic move. The name of the game for Colt is increased sales, and the LE/ MIL crowd isn't purchasing in droves right now when it comes to sales outside of the already established GOV contracts. Hitting the guys who are buying because they have the free cash might be a slick idea. I think we saw Bushmaster do the same thing last year with their "custom shop", but I have no info on how well thats done for them.

Colt is a solid name, and needs to push back into the American gun owners hearts. I hope this is a legit move on their part. If they were looking for out of the box superior tactical weapon systems..... I've got mixed feelings.

It's an Unimog 416 Doka. It was built by http://www.couchoffroad.com/ They were made in the 70's. My guess is that it was trailered as they are slow even with the 'Fast' axles.

Well, dear guys from Magpul, if you need someone to T&E this stuff... *cough*

**Stickman** · 18 January 2010, 06:03

Looks like someone leaked the PDF....

**Mike** · 18 January 2010, 06:22

As far as I know you can download it on their website since... well... yesterday?

**Stickman** · 18 January 2010, 06:28

I know it was up along with the new site for a few minutes, can you still see it on your end? I've had the PDF for weeks, but I can't release pictures on my end until Magpul blesses off on it.

Once they give the go ahead, I've got a bunch of pictures to bring out of the admin/ staff area and post aside from whats shown in the catalog.

**Mike** · 18 January 2010, 06:50

At least the new website seems to be reacheable although there are still some minor errors to be seen.
From there you can proceed to register to download the catalog and the website says "download catalog today":

http://www.magpul.com/catalogsignup.html

Not sure if it will be available instantly, obviously it worked for a short period, haven't tried myself. Hope that this doesn't blow up any of Magpuls secret squirrel cages...

Nice stuff in there, for sure!

**federalist22** · 18 January 2010, 07:20

Whoa!!!! That Magpul catalog has a lot of new stuff in it!

I hate to spoil things for anyone, or get smacked for blurting things out that I saw in the catalog, but Magpul keeps coming up with awesome stuff. Based on the quality of the Magpul components we use today, I think we can expect more reliable and efficient performance from their new products, so here is a short list from the online PDF catalog.

- 40rd PMAGs (mag level)
- Vertical grips (Rail and MOE)
- MOE Handguards (Rifle and Mid + carbine)
- MOE+ Grip (rubberized)
- Gen2 MBUS
- iPhone cases (I am getting my wife one in Foliage)
- Rail Sling Attachment (RSA)
- MS3 sling (looks like new hardware on the sling)
- Things already in circulation: BAD, PMAG 20LR, AFG, MIAD, ASAP, PRS, CTR, ACS, UBR, XTM, MOE rail sections (plus light mount section), etc.
- HK and Euro platform mags, SCAR selector set (safety)

I can't wait for Stickman to post some pics!
