Hyskore Introduces Black Rifle Machine Rest and Armorers Vice
The new Hyskore Black Gun Machine Rest allows the user to sight in and find out exactly how accurate the gun is. It progressively absorbs the recoil pulse by employing two long (110mm) stroke nitrogen filled compression dampers assisted by adjustable coil springs. This gives it the unique ability to handle everything from .22 LR to .375 H&H. With previous machine rests you had to change dampers for different calibers. In addition, the dual rail design of the Black Rifle Machine Rest accommodates pistol grips and high capacity magazines allowing it to be used with 30- or even 40-round magazines of any caliber. The gun can be fired from the shoulder, using the buttstock strap, directly off the shoulder without the strap, or with the strap and secured in the vise for repeatability testing. The entire vise assembly can be removed to expose a platform for rest bags and a remote hydraulic trigger release is included with the rest. The rest has ambidextrous windage adjustment knobs and ball bearing elevation adjustment. The rest even has mounting tabs to bolt it to your shooting bench. Also new from Hyskore is their new Armorer's Vice. The portable Armorer's Vise can be used at the workbench or at the range. It is a versatile gun servicing fixture that clamps to a bench top and rotates 360º around a horizontal axis. A gun can be held at any required angle for all cleaning and servicing procedures. Both new products can be used with bolt guns as well as "Black Guns." For more information on these and an extensive line of fine firearm accessories please contact Hyskore, Dept. SAR, 193 West Hills Road, Huntington Station, NY 11746. Phone: (631) 673-5975. Fax: (631) 673-5976. On the web at www.hyskore.com.
Troy Battlemags Now Shipping
Troy Industries is pleased to announce that they have started shipping their much anticipated CBIR (Chemical, Biological, and Impact Resistant) polymer Battlemags to industry dealers and distributors. These magazines have been involved in a lengthy research and development phase, in which time they have come under severe punishment and testing. They have survived not only loading and feeding evaluations, but also destructive product testing, such as being shot with shotguns, high powered rifles, crushed by vehicles, frozen and baked in extreme temperature ranges. All magazines then functioned flawlessly after the for-mentioned torture tests, and the visual results can been seen on the Troy YouTube video channel. Stephen Troy, Troy Industries President and CEO, declared that the magazines will offer the end-user the most durable and comprehensive magazine on the market today. The CBIR Battlemag is currently offered in a 30-round 5.56mm/.223 version. They are available in black, flat dark earth, OD green, and coyote tan. Every magazine includes a flush and shock absorbing bottom floor plate. Battlemags work flawlessly with all M4, M16, AR-15, HK416, and FN SCAR rifles and carbines. Other features include a proprietary engineered resin, reinforced feed lips, anti-tilt follower, and an aggressive fish scale gripping pattern. You can contact them at Troy Industries, Inc., Dept.

Desert Tactical Arms Introduces New Suppressors
Desert Tactical Arms developed the DTSS (Desert Tactical Sound Suppressor) to enhance accuracy, repeatability, and minimize impact shift between suppressed and unsuppressed fire. Testing shows consistent accuracy improvements of nearly 0.25 MOA when shooting with a DTSS. The full titanium construction makes the DTSS the lightest .338 caliber silencer on the planet weighing just 1.15 pounds. They offer both steel and titanium suppressors. The DTSS Silencer conveniently installs over the SRS-QD Brake. The baffle design tightens the Suppressor as gases impact the baffles, which prevents the Suppressor from loosening during high volume fire. Many competitors use a ratcheting lock to prevent their cans from loosening. Distance between ratchet teeth allows minor play even when tightened, which will degrade accuracy. DTSS are available in .30 and .338 caliber options and provide a high-to-low compatibility feature that allows the .338 caliber suppressor to attach to both .338 and .30 caliber muzzle brakes and prevents the .30 caliber suppressor from accidentally being installed on a .338 caliber muzzle brake. For more information you can contact them at Desert Tactical Arms, Dept. SAR, P.O. Box 65816, Salt Lake City, UT 84165. Phone: (801) 975-7272. Fax: (801) 908-6425.
