The new Krebs Custom Fast Acquisition Rear Sight for the AK-47 is now available. This sight, like the similar sight offered by Rifle Dynamics, offers a widened rear notch and rounded corners in an effort to remove right angles that may be distracting to the shooter. However, the Krebs Custom Fast Acquisition Rear Sight goes a step further and provides a “U” notch which further removes right angles from the sight picture.

Here is an interesting new product from Recover Tactical. The Recover Grip is a two piece, bolt-on grip that attaches in place of the standard grips and covers nearly the entire receiver of your 1911. It allows you to convert any 1911 to accept a weapon mounted light. The Recover Grip can be installed without a gunsmith and without permanent modification. It is available in Black, OD Green, and Desert Sand.
I suspect that finding a holster to fit it may be a challenge unless it really takes off. I have also noticed that the grip doesn’t support the plunger tube like properly fit standard grips typically do but this is not an issue for most modern 1911s.

Some of the roll marks on AR-15 lowers have become too big and too garish for my tastes. Roll marks don’t affect the function of a lower but, all things being equal, I would prefer to not have a zombie head on my lower. That is why I like the Aero Precision lowers and why this new Stealth Lower from PSA is such a great idea.
In the past, I have said on these pages that carbon fiber and titanium both automatically make things cooler. Well, I think you can add another material to that list – inconel.
V7 Weapon Systems just released their Extreme Environment Gas Tube which is made from heat treated inconel. Inconel is an alloy that is notoriously difficult to machine and shape but offers extreme (that word is actually fitting here) resistance to heat and corrosion. I suspect that these gas tubes are extremely difficult to make and I know from talking to V7 Weapon Systems that it took them quite a while to get these to market. Does everyone need an inconel gas tube? No, but if you do a lot of full auto or suppressed shooting, it may be worth looking into.
They also just released their latest weight saving part, the Ultra-Light Port Door. It is machined from hard anodized 7075 T6 aluminum and has a stainless steel ball detent and roll pin.
