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″.
Imagine for a moment that you operate a business that creates and sells quality AK parts here in the States but you also do various training for all kinds of interesting people in far flung corners of the world. One day while working in an unnamed armory in Kabul, you come across one of the slings that you designed and sold laying in a box looking battered and worn but still very much usable. I bet that sling could tell some stories!
That is exactly the situation that faced Joe at Echo Nine Three. He posted a picture of the situation with a bit of commentary on the E93 Facebook Page.
From E93:
I made a visit to an undisclosed armory in Kabul today. To my surprise I saw one of our first 100 Dual Mode Slings (stainless polygon hub) in a box with several other. No idea how it came to be here. But, apparently it took the abuse well.
If only slings could talk! Check out Echo Nine Three.
You asked for it. Echo Nine Three (E93) delivered. They released a video that shows their new AKML/C and AK3P in action.
The video (below) shows the performance of both devices as compared to a bare muzzle and common slant brake. Three different types of ammo are tested.
Check out the new muzzle devices at Echo Nine Three.
Echo Nine Three is now offering rolls of genuine “Paki Tape!” They actually brought it over from Afghanistan so it is the real deal. This stuff is used all over the Middle East and Southeast Asia to add a bit of flair to firearms of all kinds. Those of you who have spent a little time in AR15.com’s General Discussion forum (woe unto you) will no doubt be familiar with the near supernatural powers such tape can impart to the user. It’s powerful, powerful stuff and not to be taken lightly.
Note: Late 80’s and early 90’s teen heart throb stickers are not included. You’ll have to dig those out of your collection.
Wrap some real deal Paki Tape on an AK near you! Check out Echo Nine Three.
Echo Nine Three’s V3/SB, a sling plate designed for use with the SB-47 Stabilizing Brace, is now available! It is completely ambidextrous, attached to existing holes with the provided screws, and is made from Melonite processed steel. If you have an AK pistol equipped with an SB-47 and need a rear sling point for use with a 1 or 2 point sling, look no further.
In other interesting news, E93 is playing with an interesting discreet carry concept. They are developing a custom cut foam insert that could be used to adapt any guitar case into a discreet rifle carrier. E93 is undecided as to whether these will go into production but it was just too cool not to share.
