Working on your AK can be tricky with you are trying to wield a 2 pound sledge in one hand and a cutting torch in the other… just your standard AK armorer’s tools. You can’t grow a third hand (easily) but you can pick up an AK-47 Armorer Block from CROSSTAC. Their AK Armorer Block locks into the AK’s magazine well tight so that you can clamp the block into your bench vice.
Armageddon Gear has been working their webbing providers for years to develop a new flat webbing with the same stretch characteristics as the bungee webbing they make in house that consisted of strands of shock cord wrapped in tubular webbing. Now, the new material is finally ready and being incorporated into Armageddon Gear’s Carbine Sling and Convertible Carbine Sling.
The new webbing lays flat rather than rolling on the user. This means the slings distribute weight more evenly, move around less, sit closer to the body, but still has the attributes of a bungee sling.
Check out the Carbine Sling and the Convertible Carbine Sling at Armageddon Gear for details. I suspect we will see all kinds of interesting applications for this webbing.
SKD Tactical has the exclusive Arisaka Defense Vertical Grip for the Sig MPX Gen 1. This machined 6061 aluminum vertical grip has a hard anodized finish and is contoured to match the Sig MPX Gen 1 handguard. It connects directly to the handguard with the included hardware.
Titanium makes everything more cool.
Texas Black Rifle Company will release a Ti version of their Micro Comp V3 soon. The new comp will be available in finishes: Raw Titanium, Flame Anodized and Electro-Anodized. Each Flame Anodized and Electro-Anodized finish will be completely unique because of the nature of the process that applies these finishes.
Once released, the Ti Micro Comp V3 will be available at TexasBlackRifleCo.com.
I highly suggest you take a look at Wndsn XPD. They currently offer a number of products including their very slick Distance Meters which are trigonometry based with no moving parts and no electronics. These cards allow the user to make use of a specific length of cord, a scale printed on the card, and an object of known size to determine distance (instructions).
This has obvious applications for outdoor pursuits but if you are a precision shooter, it probably sounds very interesting to you too. Wndsn XPD is currently developing a new version of their Distance Meter and two shooting specific tools (one is pictured below). The upcoming shooting calculator will allow the user to simply stretch a string or straight edge across scales for known size and MIL or MOA reticle reading to determine distance.
