Crickett Precision Rifle

By on December 16, 2016 in Guns

There is a genius walking the halls at Keystone Sporting Arms. They knew that if they took one of their popular Crickett youth rifles and dressed it up with a precision rifle chassis, we would all run to the gun store with cash in hand… for our kids, not ourselves… I mean, sure, we will shoot it once in a while… but mostly for the kids.

The upcoming CPR or Crickett Precision Rifle is based on the existing bull barrel model of the Crickett rifle. It sports a precision rifle chassis style stock with comb adjustment along with fore and aft rails for bipod and monopod mounting. The barrel is also threaded which will make protecting your kiddo’s hearing easier with the addition of a suppressor.

Honestly, the features don’t matter on this rifle. It has accomplished its mission of looking cool which is very important in a youth rifle. I can imagine that every dad that shoots precision rifle will want one of these for their kid and every kid whose dad shoots precision rifles will want one to be like him. That is priceless… but the CPR will set you back just over $300 though actual gun store prices may be lower.

Alien Armor Rail Guard

By on December 15, 2016 in Guns

This is a product that I am surprised hasn’t been developed before now – a hand guard extension.

A company called Alien Armor is set to produce a product called Rail Guards that are sort of like a cross between a rail cover and a stand-alone polymer hand guard. It attaches to an existing hand guard via the side rails to serve as both a rail cover and to extend the length of the existing hand guard. If this attachment is robust enough, it could have some interesting applications.

The Rail Guard appears to feature M-LOK compatible slots or something very close. Even if they aren’t M-LOK compatible, direct-connect accessories like those from Impact Weapons Components would likely still work.

Alien Armor is already advertising broad compatibility for the Rail Guard. They state that it will fit many AR-15s, SCARs, Galil Ace, SIG 556, many AKs, the CZ Bren Carbine, ACR, XCR and more. Basically, if it has side rails on the hand guard, there is a chance it will fit.

The Rail Guard weighs 7 ounces. It is not available for purchase as of the time of this writing but may be available in as little as 3-4 weeks. Stay tuned for updates.

Cloud Defensive Light Control System for Streamlight ProTac Rail Lights

By on December 14, 2016 in Guns

Cloud Defense just gave us a little peek behind the curtain. They released this image of a prototype for a new version of their Light Control System for the Streamlight ProTac Rail 1 and 2 tape switches.

You can read our previous post regarding the Light Control System to learn more about but it is essentially a mount that fixes a tape switch to your rail in a way that is easy to activate, trim and well organized, and more durable than tape or hook/loop.

Magpul Releases MOE SL-S Stock

By on December 13, 2016 in Guns

The MOE SL-S Stock is the latest stock in Magpul’s MOE-SL line. It retains the narrow design of the rest of MOE-SL line but adds a more triangular cross-section for an improved check weld and battery storage. You can check it out at Magpul.com.

The video that Magpul produced for this stock is excellent. I mean, they are always excellent, but this one is a step above. It dives into the design and history of the triangular cross-section stocks before sharing the features of their new MOE SL-S. It is well worth just over a minute of your time.

Forward Controls Design ABC/R-AA

By on December 13, 2016 in Guns

Forward Controls Designs has released their newest version of the Augmented Bolt Catch or ABC. It features a dimpled texture to provide texture from All Angles – hence the AA moniker.

Those dimples aren’t just for looks. They not only provide texture but they can also provide tactile clues to the user about where their finger lies on the ABC by their size and shape. The dimples, along with the angles already designed into the ABC, provide the user immediate feedback on which part of the ABC they are touching even if they can’t see it.

You can read more about the ABC/R-AA and its design in our earlier post, long before it went into production. You can also read about it at the Forward Controls Design website.
