Now this has potential. The LAV, Larry Vickers, has announced a new YouTube show and it looks like it is going to be great. If you haven’t already, you are going to want to subscribe to the VickersTacticalInc Youtube Channel.
Echo Nine Three AK Flash Suppressors
Echo Nine Three just released two new flash suppressors for the AK-47 – the AK3P and AKML/C. Both threaded 14x1mm and are constructed from 4140 steel with a black oxide finish. Both are 2.5″ long and designed to give plenty of leeway for those who want to permanently attach them. Both also feature multiple detent cuts to ensure a tight fit.
The AK3P is a pronged flash suppressor with 3 tines. For those who prefer closed end muzzle devices, the AKML/C is a sloted flash suppressor. They are available now at Echo Nine Three.
Geissele Automatics Barrel Timing Shims
G&R Tactical is doing every AR-15 builder everywhere a great service. They managed to talk ALG Defense/Geissele Automatics into letting them sell their excellent barrel shims separately!
If you have ever built an AR and had to struggle to get the proper torque setting on a barrel nut while also lining up the gas tube port, you know what a pain it can be. These shims allow you to time everything and more easily put that magic 40 lb ft of torque on the barrel nut. Now you can just say no to cheater bars! These shims work so well that I have installed an ALG Defense EMR to proper torque without a vise!
The shims will work with just about any barrel nut. They come with Geissele and ALG Defense hand guards already. Check them out at G&R Tactical.
KAK SUPER SIG SB-15 Pistol Buffer Tube
I have been watching KAK with a lot of interest since they came out with their original Sig SB-15 Pistol Brace specific buffer tube, the KAK AR-15 SIG SB-15 Pistol Buffer Tube. One thing kept me from trying that buffer tube and that was its requirement to use a modified end plate. Apparently I am not the only one who felt this way and, obviously, I am going to have build another AR pistol because they have now released the KAK SUPER SIG SB-15 Pistol Buffer Tube which has a more streamlined design than the original, is slightly longer (a good thing for AR pistols), and uses a completely standard castle nut and end plate.
It retains the shoulder feature of the original. This shoulder is machined into the tube and is the key to the KAK SUPER SIG SB-15 Pistol Buffer Tube’s functionality. It serves as a hard stop to prevent the SB-15 from sliding forward. It also serves as a stop for the spacers that KAK is now offering to be used to adjust the length of pull of your SB-15.
If you are building an AR pistol and intend to use an SB-15 Not-A-Stock, check out the KAK SUPER SIG SB-15 Pistol Buffer Tube.
