Rainier Arms Compensator RAC

By on March 19, 2014 in Guns

Rainier Arms has a solid track record of developing affordable muzzle devices with very solid performance like the XTC. They are looking to continue that hot streak with the introduction of the Rainier Arms Compensator (RAC).

Rainier Arms Compensator RAC

The RAC has two large chambers with ports on each side (4 side ports) and 2 small top ports on each chamber (4 top ports). Rainier Arms states that the large side ports are designed to reduce felt recoil while the top ports counteract muzzle rise. As you have come to expect from anything that comes from Rainier Arms, the device also looks quite good. It has a distinctive angled cut on the front that gives it a unique look.

Specs:

  • .223 / 5.56 (1⁄2 X28 TPI)
  • Length: 2.3 Inches
  • Diameter: .890 Inches
  • Weight: 2.6 oz
  • Finish: Black Nitride
  • Made in the USA

Gunstruction for iOS

By on March 15, 2014 in Guns

Gunstruction is now available for iOS devices! I have been playing with the beta release for some time now and it is a lot of fun and very useful.

The iOS app is a lot like the website but the touch interface makes it even easier to move around and build exactly what you want. It may seem like it is just a fun app (and it is fun) but it is actually a powerful tool for planning an AR-15 build. I recently wrote an article about how truly lightweight AR-15 builds take planning and the great thing about Gunstruction is that the weight of each component is included. It is probably the most complete repository or weight data available.

Strike Industries Ambush Sling Loop

By on March 14, 2014 in Guns

I first mentioned the prototype for what would become the Ambush Sling Loop back in October of last year. I thought it was very notable for its extremely low profile design. Since it was just a prototype picture, I hoped it would 1) go into production and 2) retain the same low profile design when if it finally did make it to production. I have good news on both counts.

The Ambush Sling Loop is now available from Strike Industries. It is extremely low profile. It is low profile enough to fit easily under extended optic mounts like those from ADM and LaRue Tactical. It is so low profile in fact that no part of it sits higher than any part of the rail it mounts on! It is made from solid steel but is still relatively light weight thanks to it’s skelotonized design. This sing mount provides both a sling loop and a QD sling swivel socket.
