Echo Nine Three recently posted this image which shows a 1″ cap plug being used to close the end of an SB47 AK Pistol Brace. If you shop around, it appears that there are a number of similar products designed to close the ends of metal tubing that would work as long as their diameter is 1″.
The ARAK-21 Upper Receiver from Faxon Firearms is currently available in 2 calibers: 5.56 and .300BLK. However, a new caliber is about to join the stable.
Faxon has been teasing the new caliber on their Facebook Page and it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to figure out that it is 7.62×39. It seem fitting that an AR upper that draws so much inspiration from the AK-47 would be offered with a 7.62×39 chambering!

Aero Precision just introduced a new M4E1 upper receiver option. This is their first non-NFA/non-pistol M4E1 upper available. It sports a 16″ midlength barrel and their 15″ EK-15 KeyMod Handguard.
I have one of their M4E1 uppers in hand for review and I can confirm that it is a very slick system. It is more than rigid enough to properly support a 15″ handguard and assembly is a snap. Stay tuned for the full review.
This new upper is available at the introductory price of $350 which is a solid price for an upper, especially an upper with a well sorted out rail system. Check it out at Aero Precision.
High Tower Armory’s Magazine Coupler is pretty darn slick. It allows you to attach two of Ruger’s ubiquitous BX-1 magazines together without the user of glue like man other couplers. HTA’s coupler uses a clamp that is secured with a small Allen screw. If you ever need to uncouple the magazines in the field, the Allen Key actually rides on-board, tucked away for convenience.

RE Factor Tactical is now offering a branded version of the BlackPoint Tactical Leather Wing Holster. While many companies offer some form of leather/kydex hybrid inside-the-waistband holster, far fewer offer hybrid outside-the-waistband options like this one. I have not personally used the Leather Wing but I know two shooters who do and both speak VERY highly of it.
