Las Vegas, Nevada —Strike Industries is proud to announce that its Cable Management System® (CMS) has been selected by the United States Army for use in the Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW) Program (in use beginning 2024). We are very excited and honored for the opportunity to contribute to the US Military. This significant achievement represents a milestone for our company and a testament to the quality and innovation of our products.
Our CMS is a meticulously crafted ecosystem in development since 2018. Engineered to solve the cable conundrum stemming from flashlights, lasers, and other weapon electronics, our CMS does more than just hold cables. It ingeniously stores excess cable within the weapon accessories and guides the cable’s direction seamlessly.
We have developed over 20 CMS products which include handguards, rail covers, vertical grips, angled grips, picatinny mounted, M-LOK mounted accessories, and several more parts. To date, Strike Industries has received multiple issued patents for these products with more patents pending.
Within our CMS product line, three products were chosen after a rigorous evaluation and selection process that included extensive testing which included other companies’ products as well — to ensure who would meet the highest standards of performance, reliability, and security required by the US military:
Key benefits and features of these Cable Management System® products:
Enables users to organize and store excess wire from weapon lights or any other cabled accessories.
Aesthetic top rail cover protects hand or thumb from picatinny rail’s sharp edges while providing more control and comfort over the front end of the weapon platform.
M-LOK covers serve in organizing wires and mitigating heat from the barrel.
Come in a short version which is about the length of one M-LOK slot (1.57”).
Come in a long version which is about the length of two M-LOK slots (3.14”).

Due to popular request from our previous post the SIG MCX build, we decided to put a quick spotlight on the Griffin Armament M2 Sights or in this case, the licensed airsoft version from PTS Syndicate as we got lots of PMs from you guys about it.
Sleek and simple, these low-profile irons are the ideal secondary or primary sight if you want it for your rifle, keeping weight and added bulkiness to a minimum, the M2s are simple sexy and I run it on almost all my rifles! “makes me think why I don’t have em on all already…”
Mountable in the 12 o’clock position or ambidextrously configured at a 45° degree offset (angle plates included in the set system), the M2 Sights will stand the test of time as a workhorse iron sight on your favorite rifle. I personally prefer it mounted in the 45° degree offset position.
Why? 1st; I’m able to pick up targets in a shorter distance really quick when I’m using my LPVO. 2nd; when it comes down to CQC and you squeeze the rifle in (stock above the shoulder) as you sneak around corners, obstacles etc., the M2s help a lot to get the shot on point in no time! 3rd reason; when the primary optic quit its duty, you don’t need to remove anything or work on it when you’re stressed out in the heat of battle, just rotate the rifle into that 45° degree offset position and your in the fight again to get the shot on your target!
Both the front and rear sights utilize a robust spring tension to ensure a highly durable and repeatable flip-up mechanism whilst the front sight also features an elevation adjustment. I guess you know what this is made for…

Elevation adjustment on the front sight

From blocks of billet steel to hand-built functional art!
In this video from Nighthawk Custom, see the process of a pistol going from raw steel to an immaculate custom handgun. Follow the journey of an Agent 2 being built from beginning to end. We take U.S. billet steel and machine it into intentionally oversized parts Those parts are then individually hand fit, prepped, blended, and beveled by a skilled gunsmith, creating an incredibly fit performance driven pistol.
One Gun, One Gunsmith.
From there, the pistol will undergo multiple inspections, making sure that every detail is right. After each part is individually inspected, the pistol will be sent out to finish. Upon returning from finish, the pistol will be reassembled and inspected to ensure no blemishes exist in the finish. It is then that the front and rear sights are installed. Once the sights have been installed, the pistol will be taken out to function test and targeting. Function testing ensures that the pistol will run while targeting sees two or three rounds shot through a single hole.
The pistol will then receive a thorough cleaning before heading to our Sales department. One of our account managers will then ship the gun to the dealer or FFL it is intended for.

Plymouth, MI (January 2024) – EOTECH, the world leader in Holographic Weapon Sights, is proud to announce the introduction of the Vudu X line of premium rifle scopes. The X Series rifle scopes are designed to meet the demands of the outdoor enthusiast. Whether it’s 3-gun, hunting, or recreational shooting, the Vudu X Scopes can make that critical shot.
Starting from a solid piece of aircraft-grade aluminum and finished with the high-quality AR-coated glass, the Vudu X rifle scopes are ultra-tough and crystal clear. Introductory models feature a second focal plane optic design allowing for quick and accurate targeting at all magnification levels, and its illuminated reticle will let you take that shot during the difficult low-light hours of dawn and dusk.
“We developed the X series line of Vudu scopes to address the shooter that wants all of the accuracy, precision and durability of our legacy Vudu scopes, but with features and a price that better match their needs” said Mark Miller, Director of Product Management for EOTECH. “We have put in a lot of work in the designs of these scopes and as always, we ran them through the same excruciating testing that our other Vudu and holographic products go through. We are confident these will exceed expectations”.
The Vudu X rifle scopes are available in 1-6×24 and 2-12×40 models. Both offer 30mm tube diameter, illuminated reticles powered by a CR2032 battery, and a removable throw lever for quick transitions across the magnification range. Available in MOA adjustments, the DP1 reticle provides the ultra-popular duplex crosshair while the BD1 provides additional circular ballistic holds at 2MOA increments for longer distances. The turrets are capped to avoid any accidental adjustments and provide a simple zero reset feature making adjustments and return to zero fast and easy. Branded front and back flip-up scope caps are included to provide protection against the elements.
Production and delivery are scheduled to begin in Q1 2024. MSRP starts at $799.
The “Space Force” is calling, they want their alien blaster back!
The very first time I looked at this MCX build I was like; that’s potentially what the Space Force is looking for right”! I mean, the Hyda Mount with the MAWL mounted to it off set looks kinda outa space to me. Don’t you think so?
Logo source: United States Space Force Website
Giving it even more drive towards it, I added gear in dark tones with some MULTICAM ALPINE vibes cause I thought it may fits some outa space activities quite well. You’re listening Space Force? That’s some cool sh*t right here, just saying…
BACK TO WHAT WE’RE HERE FOR
We at AMNB are back with another SIG AIR MCX build. Why? Because we’re f*cking love this system! The modularity and parts available plus your own creativity leaves almost no space open. You dream it, you build it! As easy as this. With the support from our friends over at DEVSTIX Store and Airsoft Artisan, we bring you this new “Boomstick Porn” custom SIG AIR MCX VIRTUS “SPEAR” build. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Providing a modern swift & slim look, we only added what’s necessary to get work done and looking sexy as f*ck while doing so. At least in our opinion, the rest is up to you! Full part list like you know it as always at the end of this article for you to shop right away if needed.
FROM HEAD TO TOE
We start off with a SIG type 3-prong flash hider which is suitable for mounting the Airsoft Artisan 762ti mock suppressor onto it if you prefer silence while doing the work. Followed is a 10″ M-LOK MCX SPEAR LT type handguard kit which includes an 11″ outer barrel in the package. I choose the FDE one for this setup because: “FDE all the things”!
This handguard compare to the older version the MCX was outfitted with is slimmer, smother and more comfortable to operate. Doing a “C”-clamp on it and operating your switches it is a go. M-LOK slots at the 3-5-6-7-9 as well 2 and 10 o’clock positions provide enough space to add your favorite accessories on it.
On top, we have a MIL-STD-1913, or Picatinny Rail which follows the one coming out of the upper receiver in line. Great workmanship over here which is notable I would say!
Talking about those accessories, I got the Artisan Handstop M-LOK version at the 6 o’clock position which provides enough grip for that perfect C-clamp. It even works well as a “barricade stop” if you want use it that way too.
At the 10 o’clock position is my SOTAC OKW 18350 “MODLITE type” weaponlight. I run it with the buttom cap for easy activation using my thump. That way, I got the right ergonomics and grip while presenting the rifle.
As a back-up option in case that EOTECH quit its duty, I’m using the PTS licensed Griffin Armament Modular Back Up Iron Sight Set. Mounted with the already in the package included 45-degree ambidextrous angle plates, these sights are dope! You need them!
Right on the top rail is the pressure switch for the MAWL. Thanks to the Hydra Mount, there’s lots of space for it because you don’t have to deal with the laser and things at the same place. I run the EOTECH Hydra version but as you may know, there’s an AIMPOINT “red dot” version available as well.
WHAT’S THE BENEFIT FROM THE HYDRA?
Here’s what the guys from GBRS have to say about: Hydra is the first dual optic mount designed for end-users that offers a 2.91” Optic Centerline for faster target ID, regardless of gear/ equipment obstructions, ie. EarPro/Comms headsets, Gas masks/ CBRN, and Night vision use. A higher Optic allows for a more athletic posture and “Heads up” attitude that enables the end-users to maintain a vertical spine which translates to body armor or “presenting plates” to the threat. This “Heads up” style allows for faster processing speed and increased situational awareness.
I think that sums it up pretty well.
Oh! One more thing, if you wonder how the hell to grab that MAWL on that “high” Hydra Mount to get some lazzer beams out when the switch quits its duty, you can still grab it and shoot those lightsaber beams out. I’m pretty sure that, the force will be with you…
Wanna throw a normal stock on your MCX? Sure thing, with the Airsoft Artisan new type M4 folding stock adapter which is easily to install to the receivers MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny. To keep things real, this adapter offers the same folding option as the standard SIG SAUER factory replacement folding and telescoping stocks do. The unique design saves weight and reduces unnecessary bulk. Nice option when space is a thing and you need to “squeeze up” such as in vehicles, Urban CQC environments or similar situations.
What I slide onto it is the MOE SL-M Carbine Stock Mil-Spec. The stock was specifically developed for ultra-compact, PDW-style military platform requirements and for users desiring a smaller, lighter stock. Less is more!
Alright folks, that’s pretty much it or did I miss something? I hope you like what you just saw and I may could inspire you a bit in building a MCX that at least in my opinion looks cool. Any questions? Drop them in the comments below and thanks for stopping by.
