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.

magpul-1911-grips

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.

Sig Sauer’s New SB15 Pistol Stabilizing Brace

Sig Sauer introduced their new SB15 Pistol Stabilizing Brace today. Designed as a shooter’s aid to improve the single-handed use of AR-15 pistols. It’s made in the USA of elasto-polymer and fits all AR-style buffer tubes from 1″ to 1.2″ in diamter. The brace uses the shooter’s forearm for support with a flexible cuff and two adjustable nylon straps. The SB15 is ATF approved according to Sig and a part of the proceeds will go towards helping veterans of HAVA (Honored American Veterans Afield). The SB15 retails for $139 and is available over at SigSauer.com. Check out the video below of the SB15 in action, I think it’s a pretty neat accessory for any AR-15 pistol build. My only question is can it be used to shoulder the pistol? The design looks like it may make that difficult to do.

New Magpul MBUS Pro

Magpul recently announced their new MBUS Pro, an all steel construction sight for the AR-15. Their extremely popular MBUS polymer sights were the go-to budget sights for quite some time because of their low price and high build quality. The rear MBUS Pro sight has both large and small same-plane apertures and is just .375″ tall them folded down. The front MBUS Pro sight is slightly thicker at .432″ tall when stowed but doesn’t require any tools to adjust elevation, a pretty darn cool feature if you ask me. Both sights are expected to be available by late summer 2013. You an find info on the new MBUS Pro over at Magpul.com.

I watched the new Tom Cruise Sci-Fi flick Oblivion over the weekend, I was really digging the cool futuristic sidearms Cruise’s character was rocking in the movie when I noticed something pretty neat. He was using a Magpul MS3 sling with his rifle, it was custom painted to match his rifle and costume but it was pretty obvious what it was to a gun enthusiast like me. Anyone else catch it?

We’re pretty big The Walking Dead fans here at ArmoryBlog (but not fans of zombie themed guns I might add). If you’re a Walking Dead fan like us then I’m sure this sweet new zombie head tank Blu-ray case for season three of The Walking Dead is on your wishlist. At over $100 it’s not cheap, but it includes all of season three on Blu-ray and a bunch of zombie heads in a fish tank case, how cool is that? Now I just need to convince the wife to let me buy one for the Blu-ray case in the living room. You can pick one up online at Amazon.com.

If you’re a The Walking Dead fan check out our past post on Michonne’s Katana that you can actually buy, Daryl’s Crossbow and Rick’s .357 Colt Python. We’ve also compiled a list of the Guns of  The Walking Dead that we’ve been updating throughout the series.

A while back we posted about GunBot, a website that searches in-stock ammo online in real-time. Well we just stumbled upon similar site called AmmoScanner.com. Just like GunBot it searches the internet and looks for ammunition from all the various online retailers, currently it only searches .223/5.56, 9mm, .45acp, and .22lr. I’m sure more options will become available sooner,  the best feature of AmmoScanner is their text alerts to help you snag ammo as soon as it comes back in stock.

We’ve also compiled a list of sources of ammo online to help you try and get some ammo, happy hunting!
