Meridian Defense (MDC) just released a new Front Sight Tower/Gas Block combo with AK-100 series styling. The new MDC AK FSB Combo is machined from steel and will have a black oxide finish. It features a 90 degree gas port and is adjustable for elevation and windage via a standard AK sight tool.
Crowdfund This: Carbon Tactics Ti Hook Belt
The Pied Piper of Belts, Carbon Tactics, just launched another Kickstarter campaign to fund their latest belt, the Ti Hook. They surpassed their modest funding goal by a long shot within the first 24 hours of the campaign.
The Ti Hook is one of their simplest buckle designs yet. It has no moving parts and requires no holes or ratchets to adjust. The Ti Hook is like a triglide with a hook on it that has been machined from titanium. It also has a gently curved shape so it is more comfortable and lays flat on the wearer. When properly adjusted, it has no exposed tail (extra webbing) and keeps its adjustment so all you have to do is hook/unhook it.
As with previous Carbon Tactics belt offerings, this one is available with a single or double layer of webbing. If you plan on using it for concealed carry, I recommend the double layer. I own several belts from Carbon Tactics and find them to support the weight of a holstered handgun very well. I especially like them for AIWB carry where a belt that supports weight but remains somewhat flexible is preferred.
You can check out the Ti Hook Belt on Kickstarter.

OC Tactical is 10 years old this year. That is saying something in an industry where anyone with an Instagram account and a sewing machine can call themselves a gear maker.
Congrats on 10 years OC Tactical and here’s to 10 more!

Sneak Peek: RS Regulate AKOT
RS Regulate will release their newest AK optic mounting option later this week. The AKOT is a compact ACOG (TA50 and similar) upper optic mount for the RS Regulate AK-300 series mounts.
The image below (courtesy of Instagram AK guru hizzie_biscuits) shows the new AKOT in comparison with the AKOG upper mount which is intended for use with full size ACOGs. The AKOT is considerably more compact and weighs in at just 1 ounce.
