High Tower Armory 90/22 Bullpup Stock

high-tower-armory-90-22-bullpup-stock

The Ruger 10/22 is arguably one of the most popular .22lr firearms of all time with millions made over the years, it’s no wonder there’s so much aftermarket parts available for them. From aftermarket barrels, high-capacity magazines and stocks. And even with the plethora of parts available for the venerable old 10/22, my 15 year old Ruger is still completely stock. If it ain’t broke why fix it right? Well I stumbled upon this bullpup stock kit from the folks over at High Tower Armory that made me rethink my stubbornness to mod my Ruger.

Their 90/22 bullpup stock turns your 10/22 into a short and compact bullpup that looks similar to the FN P90 sub machine gun. It even has a spare ammo holder up top that looks like the P90′s top loader magazine. It’s made out of military grade polymer and shortens the overall length of your 10/22 to around 26.5″s. It includes aluminum Picatinny rails for optics and accessories and an ambidextrous steel charging handle and steel trigger linkage. It also comes with a dummy suppressor to cover the skinny 10/22 barrel and makes the gun look pretty bad ass. It will accept standard factory 10 round mags as well as most of the high-capacity mags on the market, except drum mags. The price? Just under $240. They’ll be available in black, OD green and desert tan. Check them out at Hightowerarmory.com for more info. They’re currently not available but they should be hitting the market fairly soon.

gunup-magazine

There’s a new gun magazine that hit newsstands recently from the folks at GunUp. The gun news site and online retailer is now getting into the publication business, you can actually download a free preview issue right here. If you like what you see you can purchase a year subscription online at Amazon for just $36. I actually think it’s a pretty darn good mag so far.

To help promote their new mag GunUp is also giving away an AR-15 if you enter in their contest.

Homemade Glock in 9×18 Makarov

AK-47s are renowned for their reliability, and for the fact they’re cheap and easy to build. Everyone from DIY home gunsmiths here in the US to hand made guns from the Khyber Pass. Well it looks like the other main firearm known for it’s reliability is starting to be copied as well. This Glock was made in Russia with just a chisel, file and a drill out of steel and epoxy. It’s chambered in 9×18 Makarov too. It’s actually not that bad, in this market I’m sure it would probably sell in no time.

9mm Citadel M1 Carbine

citadel-m1

Thefirearmblog posted that Citadel is planning on releasing a 9mm version of their M-1 Carbine replicas. No word on pricing was released however with a ship date being somewhere in late 2013. If these manage to be problem free and if magazines are affordable I can see them selling a ton of them.

Fake EOTech 512s Spotted on Amazon

1

fake-eotech-amazon

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

elite-squad-bope

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.

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.

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.

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.
