RS Regulate GKR AK MLOK Rail
RS Regulate’s new GKR AK MLOK Rail promises to allow AK shooters to keep their heat shields, keep their cleaning rod, and gain QD sling sockets and 17 MLOK slots. The drop-in fit GKR will be available for AKs with or without sling loops. They have been teasing the new rail for a few weeks on social media and they released details at Red Oktober.
The GKR is not listed on the RS Regulate website yet but expect to find more details at RSRegulate.com soon.
Multicam Quilts Update: New Camo Patterns, Prototypes, and Custom Options
There is a lot of news coming out of Multicam Quilts lately including two new Multicam patterns, an interesting prototype, and the availability of custom options.
Multicam Quilts were previously only offered in the original Multicam pattern. Now they are offering two new patterns on a limited basis. They already have 50/50 NYCO Multicam Tropic material in hand and are taking orders. This limited pattern will likely sell out quickly. Pre-orders are also already open for Multicam Black quilts which will be made once the material is available.
Typically, Multicam Quilts are backed with plush Polartec 200 fleece. However, they are experimenting with an interesting new option for the backing – Coyote Brown Polartec Thermal Pro FR. This fire resistant material is only in use on a prototype for now but it could become available if there is enough interest.
Finally, if you are following the development of these quilts on AR15.com or social media, you have likely seen the custom options that people have been requesting like the paracord loops shown above. This is one of perks from buying a handmade item from a small business. They are able to accommodate customization requests.

The EDC Tool Roll: Wera Rapidaptor Bit Holder
The EDC Tool Roll is a feature on Jerking the Trigger in which we profile various every day carry worthy tools. The tools shown aren’t multi-tools but rather real tools, that by virtue of their compact size, light weight, usefulness, or unique functionality, can find a place in any range kit, emergency kit, or every day carry bag.
Feel free to comment on the tools that you carry so we can all learn! The discussion on these posts has been very valuable so far.
We have spent a lot of words looking at various drivers in The EDC Tool Roll series. The truth is that even the slickest, most EDC-worthy driver won’t help you if you can’t reach the fastener you need to tighten or loosen. Many of the drivers that we have reviewed so far lack the reach of a conventional screwdriver. This is why I always have an extension of some kind in my tool kit for EDC or range use.
The best extension I have used are the Wera Rapidators. I use the 100mm (about 4″) in my own version of The EDC Tool Roll. I used to use a basic magnetic extension most of the time and those still work. However, the quality is often lacking (loose fit, lousy or broken magnets, etc.) and the Rapidaptor line has features that I have grown to like.
First, the quality is excellent. The metal parts of the Rapidaptor line are finished with a matte finish that looks like hard chrome or maybe just a bright stainless. Whatever it is, it seems to hold up very well. The fit is tight and precise both with the bits and with whatever you are using to turn the Rapidaptor. As someone who has had a cheap extension with poor fit locked into an impact driver to the point of needing tools to remove it, I appreciate that precise fit. It also holds up to use in a cordless impact driver.
Second, the design of the bit holding portion of the Rapidaptor is excellent. It actively locks bits into place automatically upon inserting a bit. It is held in place via a good quality magnet and the locking collar. This collar (the green and black part in the picture) spins freely allowing the user to grip when attempting to control a fastener. Pulling up on the collar releases the bit without popping it out to be lost. Installing and removing bits can all be done easily with one hand.
Wera makes shorter versions of this bit holder but the I find the 100mm version to be just right. Short enough to carry in my kit but long enough to reach an AR-15 grip screw or to use in installing/uninstalling a Glock magazine catch spring. I also find myself using this with my power tools somewhat frequently.
Where to Buy:
Maybe you have a local brick and mortar option for purchasing imported tools… but I sure don’t. I purchased my Wera Rapidaptor on Amazon: Wera Rapidaptor 100mm Bit Holder
Other Tools That I Have Used with the Rapidaptor:
Victorinox Swisstool Plus Replacement Wrench
Engineer DR-07 Twin Wrench Driver
Tekton 14-in-1 Offset Screwdriver (2945)
Replaceable Edition Fix It Sticks
