Surefire Introduces a AA Flashlight

Surefire has introduced a flashlight that accepts AA batteries. The E2L AA Outdoorsman runs on 2 AA batteries and boasts 2 output levels: 80 lumens for 9 hours and 3 lumens for 60 hours. That kind of runtime, output, and well known Surefire quality makes light perfect for outdoor pursuits.

I know a lot of people have been waiting for a light like this from Surefire.

Troy Battle Ax CQB Grip

There is certainly no shortage of options when it comes to grips for the AR-15. It takes a unique product to be able to stand out from the crowd. Fortunately, the new Troy Battle Ax CQB Grip is definitely unique.

The Battle Ax CQB Grip has obviously been heavily influenced by the AK-47 grip. It is very short and angled in such a way that it drives your hand higher on the grip. This high hand grip can help you drive the gun and control recoil. Troy also thoughtfully included a tab that covers the gap under the trigger guard. This gap, if left uncovered, can abrade the users hand under prolonged use.

I am really intrigued by this grip.

The Troy Battle Ax CQB Grip is available now.

AR-15 Weight Calculator

Vuurwapen Blog has done every AR-15 shooter a service by creating the AR-15 Weight Calculator. This easy to use tool allows shooters to determine what a potential build will weigh by entering the planned components into the calculator. It is quite accurate and there is already enough data that, even if your specific component isn’t listed, there is something close enough to get you into the ballpark.

This is a very useful page.
