I have 20 of these USGI style aluminum magazines from Brownells and they are excellent. They are also on sale for $9.99. That is a great magazine at a great price.

Aero Precision Ambidextrous Lower Receiver Gen 2
I mentioned this new Ambidextrous Lower Receiver Gen 2 from Aero Precision just yesterday and it became available for sale just last night. This lower is machined from a 7075-T6 aluminum forging. It is hard coat anodized and features completely ambidextrous controls. The special selector markings that allow BAD-ASS-ST and BAD-CASS-ST (short throw) compatibility are new to the Gen 2 version. Additionally, the selector hole has a small cutout so that the short throw levers can be installed without grinding down the pin that prevents them from being installed in standard lowers.

New from Aero Precision
Two new products from Aero Precision have my attention. The first, an AR-15 lower receiver that is designed to be compatible with the excellent Battle Arms Development Short Throw BAD-ASS and BAD-CASS, is not available yet. Once it is available, I anticipate that it will be one of the most affordable lower receivers available that is designed to accept the short throw levers.
The second product is a slick side AR-15 upper. It seems like everyone wants AR-15 uppers without the superfluous forward assist but very few manufacturers make them and even fewer make them available as stripped uppers. Thankfully, Aero Precision has done just that. Their new slick sided upper receiver is now available.
Sneak Peek: Gear Sector Modular Free Float Tube
Every piece of gear that I have ever laid hands on from Gear Sector has been very functional and well designed which makes it easy to be intrigued by their upcoming Modular Free Float Tubes for the AR-15.
Here is what we know: they will support a line of modular bolt-on accessories and they will be relatively light weight. The 7″ carbine hand guard weighs just 5 ounces (without barrel nut). They are made in the now common, slick sided configuration. These are definitely worth keeping an eye on.
