Aaron Gough of Gough Custom recently posted a video about how he makes his kydex sheaths. The video is extremely educational for those interested in making their own sheaths. His mix of common and homemade kydex tools should serve as an inspiration to those who think you need a lot of specialized tools to get started.

Sabrewerks 13 MRO Mount in Development
Sabrewerks 13 is working to release their latest Trijicon MRO optic mount for the AK. The new mount will be part of Sabrewerks 13’s KOP line and will share the same features as their other optic mounts.
These mounts are unique in that, once the host AK’s rear sight base has been modified to accept the KOP mounts, any of their available mounts may be used to mount the optic of your choice. They repeat zero and can be swapped in minutes. Most of the KOP mounts are specific to the optic they are intended to mount which keeps them as compact and lightweight as possible.
The new MRO mount will be available soon. You can check out all the KOP system mounts at Sabrewerks 13.
