Over at Murdoc Online, I’ve started a new weekly feature called Civil War Saturday. It generally features a period photograph and an essay by AW1 Tim, a longtime reader and commenter at MO.

This week’s entry, the third, is about Bayonets. Go check it out and add to the discussion in the comments section if interested.

Same Plane Low Profile Flip-Up Rear Sight

This is a great little unit from Midwest Industries:

• Sits only .4375″ when folded
• Extremely low profile dual aperture design
• Locking detent with large surface area for maximum strength
• Micro-style windage knob featuring the same MOA adjustments as the standard A2 rear sight

No elevation adjustment, but the low profile sure is nice. Available in a number of colors. More info here.

Xavier put a HiViz on the ol’ MkII.

Murdoc was just checking out the HiViz on Monday for his own MkII.

Over at Dr. Saturday, we see that a classy University of Colorado fan decided to try to help his team by shining a green laser into the eyes of the Oklahoma State quarterback. What an idiot.

Bushnell Scout 1000 ARC 5x24mm Laser Rangefinder in RealTree AP Camo

Bushnell Release:

The Angle Range Compensation (ARC) laser rangefinder technology from Bushnell has been embraced by both bow and rifle hunters. ARC not only increases accuracy for bow hunters by providing true horizontal distance when shooting at steep angles, but it also eliminates the guesswork in determining holdover on long-range rifle shots.

ARC is now available in the new Scout 1000. With a more compact, vertical design, the Scout 1000 ARC will range deer to 325 yards, trees and other large objects to 650 yards and highly reflective objects to 1,000 yards.

The key to ARC technology is an inclinometer with +/- one degree accuracy that measures shooting angles and their effect on both arrow and bullet trajectory. The Scout 1000 ARC has two primary modes — Bow and Rifle — to determine angle and true range.

Again, I wish we’d see them shoot it at the end. And I doubt anyone recommends using a mag after it’s been driven over. But it is an effective demonstration of that fact that polymer mags deserve more respect than they often get.

They should have shot it at the end.
