Read MoreSig Sauer SBX vs SB15 Arm Brace Dimensions
Posted by rick cancino on Jan 9, 2015 in Articles, New Products, Uncategorized | Comments Off on Sig Sauer SBX vs SB15 Arm Brace Dimensions
We will probably hear ten different reasons why a second version came out, and thankfully everything you read from the internet is true. I will entertain a couple of them for you guys. One speculation was that due to it’s stock like appearance they wanted to move to a model that was more “brace” like to further avoid any “Stock” debates. Another speculation is that the SBX is just a pure upgrade to the SB15, thinner and lighter. I want to review the apparent dimensional changes and design tweaks they incorporated. Weight comparison. SBX weighs 9.7oz SB15 weighs 11.9oz Here you can see how the SB15 gets some of its additional structure support from its polygonal shape compared to the SBX which has squared off shape. The SBX incorporated a larger velcro strap for additional stability. I have yet to tell the difference between the two in stability, so the larger improved strap may, or may not be to thank for it. Side by side, the SBX has a shorter height. The SB15 has a thicker structure for sure, the SBX was slimmed down and also fluting, this is definitely one of the places they shaved off some of the weight. Calipers on the fluting Caliper on the thicker part of the brace Side by side refernce Now the SB15 and SBx have the same dimensions for mounting to the buffer tube. But where they differ most drastically is the length of each brace. The new SBX brace is shorter and the back end is closed off now. Now because the back end is closed off on the SBX, that will limit how far down the buffer tube you can mount it. I have the SBX mounted as far forward as it can go and you can see the gap that is left in front of the SBX on the KaK Super Sig Tube. I am unsure how I feel about the new SBX. I say this in a positive way! If I don’t hate it means they did not sacrifice anything in this new version, if I don’t love it means you don’t need to run out to replace your current SB15. This is just an article about...

Posted by rick cancino on Sep 16, 2014 in Articles, New Products, Uncategorized | Comments Off on Parallax Tactical’s FFSSR Keymod Free Float Rail VS Rainier Arms Force
For my AR Pistol build I wanted a light, small handguard. Thankfully customers asked and manufacturers listened so they have been producing some fantastic solutions. Today we are going to do an over view of two handguards. Rainier Arms Force™ Free Float System 9.0 and Parallax Tactical’s PXTreme FFSSR Keymod Free Float Rail 9.2″. Both are keymod based systems which are an effective way to strip handguards of unnecessary rails that only add weight. When a user needs to attach an accessory they only need to attach a keymod rail for the desired add on. The FFSSR rail I opted for the Cerakoted Magpul FDE version, you can order them in a multitude of colors from Parallax. Since I had the Force rail already in use, it has some Noveske NSR covers on it. Technical Specs from Parallax’s website. 9.2″ OAL 6061 T6 Extrusion Type III, Class 2 Hard Anodized and Bead Blasted Finish Features our new barrel nut, 18% lighter than previous at 92g. (Noveske at 84g.) Same slot spacing to take any Magpul MOE rail accessory on the 45 degree slots. 10-32 holes on top rail to mount Sling Studs and future accessories. Included anti-rotational QD hole Includes Barrel Nut, Screws and Includes Optional Shims for spacing Installation Instructions Included Made in USA with Domestically Sourced Materials 1.52″ OD 1.35″ ID (Will not fit most supressors and KX3.) Technical Specs from Rainier Arms Length: 9″ Material: 6061 T6 Finish: Type III Hard Coat Anodized 1913 Continuous top rail Dual anti rotation tabs Keymod Modular attachment system Outer Diameter: 1.8″ Inner Diameter: 1.5″ Weight: 7.8oz with barrel nut Proprietary barrel nut included Armorer’s wrench needed for installation (not included) Outside dimensions 9.2″ Parallax on top and Rainier Arms 9″ on bottom. The FFSSR handguard mounts with 6x mounting screws whereas the RainierArms Force utilizes 8 to secure the handguard to the barrel nut. Both handguards have a QD mounting point in the rear on both sides (pictured above) Now on front end of the handguards you have a bit of a difference between the two units. The Force has another QD mounting point on both sides whereas the FFSSR was able to fit in two more keymod slots. ...

Read MoreDIY: How to get Velcro on your Molle straps for your Patches
Posted by rick cancino on Jun 25, 2014 in Articles, Uncategorized | Comments Off on DIY: How to get Velcro on your Molle straps for your Patches
Ok, so we have all been collecting those awesome patches manufacturers have been giving us with our purchases, but where to put them? I have a bunch of bags with unused molle straps. Lets put them to use! I had a spare roll of 3″ wide velcro sitting around that has “hooking” on the back and loop on the front. I laid down the velcro over the molle straps to estimate the size I wanted before cutting. I took into account the part that extends past the straps to secure the total velcro piece. I cut a piece of velcro off the roll that is the width between the molle straps (depicted in blue). I then pushed the outside “legs” of the velcro backing piece behind the molle straps and left the center to come over the top of the straps. I then took the lateral piece and put it over the outer legs and behind the center piece. This locked the velcro backing piece into place. All done! Now you can throw on some of your favorite patches....
