CDM Gear AK Light Mounts

CDM Gear is moving their BC47-1 and BC47-2 AK47 light mounts into production. These light mounts clamp to the barrel and provide a flashlight ring for for use with a 1″ diameter light. The mounts are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and have an anti-rotation design so the mount will not turn on the barrel. They also have a cleaning rod hole so you can keep the standard AK cleaning rod on board.

The BC47-1 positions the light below the bore axis. The BC47-2 places the light above the bore axis.

These mounts will be available soon with pricing expected to be below $40.

Forward Controls Design 6315 Flash Suppressor / Compensator

Forward Controls Design (FCD) likes the A2 flash suppressor as much as I do. Their new 6315 Flash Suppressor/Compensator is basically an love poem written in steel to the venerable old workhorse.

The 6315 is FCD’s idea of an improved A2 Flash Suppressor. It is machined from bar stock and nitride finished. They reshaped the ports slightly so the the 6315 is just as good of a flash suppressor than the A2 but offers more muzzle rise compensation. The redesigned ports left room for a new feature that some people are sure to giggle about – a fact that FCD is fully aware of…

Since we now have more room in front of the 3 and 9 o’clock ports, we incorporated wire cutter alignment notches ahead of these ports.  The wire cutter notches will probably earn us some flak and endless ribbing about having to cut wires at the range while punching holes on paper, but we always design combat features into our products, they’re there, you don’t have to use them 🙂

Throughout all of these changes, FCD maintained the same dimensions of the original A2 so the 6315 is fully compatible with BFAs and A2 mountable suppressors. You can check out the 6315 Flash Suppressor/Compensator at ForwardControlsDesign.com
