BAD-ASS-LW – The Diet BAD-ASS from Battle Arms Development

By on July 8, 2016 in Guns

If you were to look at my AR-15s, you would see some common traits across most of them – like Battle Arms Development selectors. I’ve never really worried about the weight of them since ambidextrous safeties are intrinsically heavier than single-side safeties but it is nice to know that there is a lighter version of the BAD-ASS.

The BAD-ASS-LW (or Battle Arms Development – Ambidextrous Safety Selector – Light Weight) appears nearly identical to the original BAD-ASS but those looks conceal two weight reducing features. The first is that, unlike the original, the BAD-ASS-LW features aluminum levers instead of steel. Second, the steel core and aluminum levers have been subtly skeletonized to reduce weight. The result is a BAD-ASS that performs like you expect but weighs only .42 oz.

AK Rhodesian Sling from Andy’s Leather Shop

By on July 7, 2016 in Guns

This is good news for AK shooters (there seems to be a lot of that lately). Andy’s Leather is now producing an AK-specific version of their excellent Rhodesian Sling.

For those unfamiliar with the Rhodesian Sling concept, it is a shooting sling and as such it works to carry your rifle and as a shooting aid. It has a lot in common with the venerable Ching Sling in that it incorporates an adjustable “cuff” that the shooter can quickly shove their support arm through in order to tighten the sling and steady the rifle. However, unlike the Ching Sling which requires two attachment points at the front of the rifle and one at the rear, the Rhodesian Sling requires only one at the front of the rifle and one at the rear.

Andy’s Leather Shop’s AK Rhodesian Sling uses the standard sling attachment points found on many AK pattern rifles, especially those with fixed stocks. The rear attachment point is secured with two Chicago screws that should be treated with thread locker once installed. The front attachment point makes use of an HK style snap hook to attach to the AK’s handguard retainer sling loop. If you are a left handed shooter, you can use the Blue Force Gear UWL to adapt this sling to left-handed use.

The sling itself is made with all the quality materials and attention to detail you expect from Andy’s Leather. The all brass hardware is bomb-proof and coated with Cerakote to reduce glare. The thick, supple leather is cut over-length so that it can fit shooters of all sizes and be trimmed to length. These slings are made to last.

The AK Sling is on sale for $10 off it’s normal price. You can check out the new AK Rhodesian Sling at Andy’s Leather Shop.
