Brits to Field New ‘Sharpshooter’ Rifle
Source: Soldier Systems – According to Janes Defence Weekly, the British Army is adopting a new a semi-automatic 7.62 mm x 51 mm ’sharpshooter’ rifle offered by Law Enforcement International (LEI) and manufactured in the US by Lewis Machine & Tool (LMT). The Stoner-style L129A1 features LMT’s Monolithic Rail Platform (MRP) technology with a one piece upper receiver and Mil-Std 1913 railed fore end. The L129A1 fires from a 20 round magazine. Additionally, it incorporates a retractable stock and 16” black stainless barrel. One of the key features of the MRP is the ability to rapidly change out barrels rather than the entire upper receiver. For some reason, many punters on various internet forums have misconstrued this feature to imply that the barrels would have to be changed in the field every 100 rounds. This information is incorrect.
The design was selected over the H&K 417 and FN’s SCAR, both currently in service with Special Operations Forces as well as a weapon proposed by Sabre Defence. The $2.5 Million deal will supply 440 of the new weapons starting early this year in order to satisfy an Urgent Operational Requirement for troops fighting in Afghanistan. Currently, the only organic weapon for UK forces capable of reliable engagement beyond 500 meters is the L7A1 7.62 mm General-Purpose Machine Gun. The L129A1 will replace the aging bolt action Accuracy International L96 in the Sharpshooter role. In the British Army certain troops are provided with specialist training and designated as Sharpshooters. They do not fulfill the role of Snipers but rather provide enhanced lethality and accuracy to the small unit leader.
Mako GL-Shock Recoil-Compensating Collapsible Stock for M4 AR-15
Mako announces the GL-Shock – the first and only recoil-compensating collapsible stock for the M4 and AR-15 on the market today.
The GL-Shock, manufactured by FAB Defense in Israel, effectively reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise for better control when firing. The GL-Shock is also the perfect solution for AR-15s and AR-10s chambered in harder recoiling calibers, such as the 6.8 SPC, .308 Winchester, .450 Bushmaster, or .50 Beowulf. The Mako Group offers collapsible stock kits for the AK-47/74 and SA vz.58-style rifles and for Remington and Mossberg shotguns that can be combined with the GL-Shock to provide recoil reduction for these weapons.
The GL-Shocks unique patented design allows it to be mounted on any standard MIL-SPEC or commercial carbine receiver extension (buffer tube). It is a drop-in replacement for the standard M4-style stock. The GL-Shock auto-adjusts to fit both commercial and MIL-SPEC buffer tubes with a tight, rattle-free fit. Unlike other recoil management systems for AR-15 carbines, the GL-Shock does not use expensive non-standard buffers or buffer springs which often affect the function of the weapon. With the GL-Shock, all factory buffer parts are retained, since recoil-reduction takes place in the stock itself.
The GL-Shocks design is based on The Mako Groups very successful GLR16 buttstock, a high-end M4/AR-15 stock with a two-battery storage compartment and a rubber buttpad. The tire tread-inspired, integrated rubber buttpad grips body armor or tactical vests, improving weapon control. The GL-Shock features slots for three sling attachment locations, as well as quick-detach sling swivel mounts on both the left and right sides of the stock.
Pushing a button allows the GL-Shocks rubber buttpad to slide down, exposing a gasket-sealed waterproof battery compartment. The GL-Shocks enlarged storage compartment fits a wider array of batteries and spare parts, such as extra firing pins, gas rings, springs, or extractors.
An optional and fully-adjustable cheek riser is available for the GL-Shock (GL-ShockCP). It provides the proper eye height for carry handle-mounted optics on M4/AR-15 carbines. The GL-ShockCP is ideal for the optic-equipped AK-47, vz.58, or any shotgun that has a low stock height designed for iron sight use.

No More Ebay – Ebay’s Anti-Gun Policy
For some time if I saw some shooting related product that was new, unusual or a good buy on ebay I would post thinks on my websites. This was beneficial for visitors, sellers and myself as ebay would pay a few pennies a click. Not a big deal and everyone wins.
Well last week something changed and I was no longer allowed to log in to my ebay partner account. This prompted me to contact support. Several hours later I received the following reply.
During a recent review, we’ve found that you have violated the ePN Code of Conduct by placing links on websites with unacceptable material. Your account has been terminated and 100% of your pending commissions will be reversed. You are not eligible to rejoin eBay Partner Network.
Violations:
http://rimfireworld.com
http://ar15tactical.com
https://308ar.com
As stated in the ePN Code of Conduct section (d)(2), these practices are prohibited.
D. Unacceptable Placements
2. You will not place Links or Promotional Content in connection with topics that eBay Partner Network in its sole discretion considers to fall in any of the following categories:
a. sexually explicit materials
b. violence
c. firearms or weapons
d. illegal goods, services or activities e. gambling or betting f. discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age g. libel or defamation h. content aimed at children i. content that is otherwise misleading, obscene or hate-oriented
Sincerely,
eBay Partner Network Quality Team”
I find it beyond comprehension that on one hand ebay will allow the sales of firearms related products while on the other hand not allow a firearm related site to have partner links. A complete hypocritical position on the part of ebay.
Going forward I am on a personal mission to inform visitors of my sites about Ebay’s anti gun policy.
I encourage you the visitor to seek alternative pro gun or at the least gun neutral sources for your all of your purchases. Don’t support those who don’t support us.
