I know several of you have been waiting for the return of the Geissele Automatics Super Modular Rail MK4. The wait is over! The 13″ SMR MK4 M-LOK rails are in stock in both Black and DDC. I suspect there will be dancing in the streets.

Video Overview of New Products from Geissele and ALG Defense
Geissele Automatics and ALG Defense released a video that shows Bill Geissele giving an overview of all their new products for 2015. There is some great information here that goes in depth on several products and even mentions a few upcoming products that haven’t been seen yet. The ALG EMR segment is particularly illuminating including a mention of an EMR V4 rail that will feature a full top rail.
Geissele Super Modular Rail MK4 M-LOK
The Geissele Super Modular Rail is back and now it’s fortified with 100% of your daily allowance of M-LOK. We told you several weeks ago that the popular and lightweight MK4 version of the SMR would be back and now we have the first images of them.
Like the original MK4 SMRs, these feature a full length top rail and short rails at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions on the muzzle end. The rest of the rail is covered with M-LOK spec slots at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock which is a departure from the earlier MK4s which had regular slots or KeyMod.
These will not be available until after SHOT Show. Keep an eye on Geissele’s website for release information.
Geissele Automatics Sabra Lightning Trigger Bow
Geissele Automatics released a new trigger option for the Tavor – the Sabra Lightning Trigger Bow. Their previous Tavor offering, the Super Sabra Trigger, is a fully enclosed cassette style trigger that completely replaces the Tavor trigger parts. This new offering is just a replacement for the trigger bow that is adjustable to take the slack out of the system, reducing that notorious, sloppy bullpup trigger linkage feel.
Like the recently announced ALG Defense AK trigger, it features their new Lightning Bow shape. The MSRP will be $99. Expect shipping to begin sometime after SHOT Show.
New Geissele Automatics Armorers Tools
Giessele Automatics just rolled out two new pro-grade armorer’s tools.
The first is the Reaction Block (RB). The RB is designed to aid in the assembly, dis assembly, and servicing of lower receivers. It can be clamped into a vice and holds the lower securely by the receiver extension in one of four user selectable positions. The RB basically provides a super stable third hand for the user who needs to assemble or service multiple lowers in a sitting.
The second tool is an advanced version of their excellent Reaction Rod – the Super Reaction Rod. This is how it works in Geissele Automatics’ own words:
The Super Reaction Rod was designed to fulfill the need of an advanced armorer who frequently works on AR15/M4 platforms with over torqued, seized or Loctited barrel nuts. The Super Reaction Rod works by pre-loading the barrel extension lugs to the lugs of the Super Reaction Rod to eliminate movement created by adding torque to the barrel nut while at the same time fixing the upper receiver in place. Having the barrel extension mated to the Super Reaction Rod lugs and fixing the upper receiver before torqueing will remove stress that could be placed on the index pin. This allows the armorer to place tremendous torque on the barrel nut to assist in breaking seized nuts loose. The Super Reaction Rod’s pre-loading system can also be removed to allow it to work just like a standard Reaction Rod, which allows upper work to be performed in a 360° both vertically, and horizontally.
Basically, you get all the performance of the original Reaction Rod but with the ability to fix the upper in place which is a must for high torque applications to prevent damage to the index pin or the notch that mates with it.
