Two New Releases from TOPS Knives – Quick Skin and Fiel

TOPS Knives just released two new knife designs and both have plenty of curves.

Quick-Skin-flyer-s

The Quick Skin is a dedicated skinner with a very curvy, bull-nose blade design that TOPS calls “All-Belly”. This upswept tip design has been used effectively for more than a century on knives meant for large game processing. The .190″ thick 1095 steel blade is flat ground and features jimping near the tip for additional control on cuts that require the index finger to be placed along the spine of the knife. Blue/black G-10 scales and a kydex sheath finish out the package.

FIEL-FLYER-S

The Fiel is a dagger but with more junk in the trunk. It has far more curves than you are used to seeing on a double edged dagger design. These curves allow it to not only stab and pierce like a dagger but also be used with more slashing cuts. It is designed to be carried as a last ditch defensive option and comes with a kydex neck sheath that is Tek-Lok compatible (not included) for belt wear.

Griffin Armament Low-Pro RIGID Rails

Griffin Armament has filled out their product line well beyond just suppressors and muzzle devices to include a wide variety of AR accessories and components. Their Low-Pro RIGID Rails are one of their newest offerings.

LPR135-2

This rail gets its RIGID moniker from internal ribs that, when coupled with the extruded aluminum construction, provide increased rigidity. It features a full length top rail with MLOK slots along the full length of the 3, 6, 9 o’clock sides. Sling swivel sockets are integrated into the rail on both sides near the upper receiver.

LPR135-3

Everything about this rail makes the end user’s life easier in terms of the tools necessary for installation, how complete the rail is out of the box, and the value offered. The lightweight 7075 T6 aluminum barrel nut is designed to be installed with a common AR armorers tool that you probably already have – the CAR stock wrench. The rail also ships with a useful and full-featured armorer’s wrench. Speaking of what ships with the rail… It includes the rail, barrel nut, and hardware but it also includes a full set of Griffin Armament’s Rail SHIELD Panels, the previously mentioned armorer’s wrench, the Griffin Armament Primo Gas Block, and a QD sling swivel! If you are building from scratch, that will save you a ton of cash.

The Low-Pro RIGID Rails are available in 4 lengths: 8.6″, 10.5″, 13.5″, and 15″. They are available now from Griffin Armament.

DDI Developing US Made AK Trigger Group

DDI is developing a new US made AK trigger group that they emphasize will be properly heat treated. This could be good news for AK shooters given the potential hardness issues found in the current most common US made trigger group where the hammer can actually deform the bolt carrier tail with repeated use. The trigger group shown below is a prototype and it obviously still needs some polishing. Stay tuned for additional details regarding pricing and availability.
