Forward Controls Design CSF

The Forward Controls Design CSF (Carbine Sling, Forward Controls) has all of the usual attention to detail you expect from a Forward Controls product. It’s simple in function and construction.

As usual, they have provided a lot of information on the background of this sling. Forward Controls states:

When creating the CSF, we follow our established project development procedures: define the objectives, develop means to achieve them, early proof of concept prototypes, and weeks and months of tweaking and refinement before it becomes a shipping product.

CSF isn’t modeled after or based on any particular sling, though one may say Vickers comes close.  We defined the areas we deemed important and honed in on these.  There are only so many ways to make a 2 point adjustable sling, CSF isn’t meant to be ground breaking, it is designed to be a hard use sling that is easy and intuitive to operate.  As shooters ourselves, we’re no strangers to slings and using them, we have experimented with quite a few throughout the years, including the much maligned single point nut busters, which eventually turned into leashes for our Poodle mix, Charlie.

And…

CSF is released on a scheduled basis, as each is painstakingly hand made.  From cutting the webbing, sewing with our vintage Bernina sewing machine to final assembly and QC, CSF isn’t the fastest and easiest product we have, quite the contrary really.  CSF won’t compete with well established slings, nor is it our intention to, it’s something we make for our friends and customers because of the persistent sling shortage, with features we like as shooters.

Proudly designed and made in the USA.

Forward Controls Design CSR (Compact Sectional Rods)

USGI cleaning rods are great for dislodging stuck cases in AR-15s but they can be a little bit of a pain to carry on your gear. Sure, you can usually find a place to stash them but the length of the standard rods prevents them from being carried in common pouches that would typically be found on, for instance, a belt.

The new Compact Sectional Rods (CSR) from Forward Controls Design fixes that. Each section of the CSR is 4.8″ long which allows them to be stored in something as short as a pistol pouch or even the battery storage of some buttstocks.

The machined 17-4 PH steel sections are available in kits with varying numbers of sections based on barrel length. All kits include a brass jag for use with cleaning patches and a soft case is available as an option.

Forward Controls Design OPF-G, RMR

In case you haven’t heard, many of the mounting plate options for the Glock MOS have proven to be unreliable unless certain mitigating factors are put in place. Forward Controls Design has set out to correct these shortcomings with the introduction of their OPF-G (Optics Platform, Glock).

From Forward Controls Design:

OPF-G, RMR (Optics Platform, Glock, for RMR) is a Glock MOS Adapter Set 01 compatible plate for mounting Trijicon RMR or SRO on Glock Gen 4 and Gen 5 slides, G17, G19, G34, G35, G41 (width 25mm/1 inch.)  It is incompatible with G40 that uses Set 02.

We like the Glock MOS concept, even if we find the factory MOS adapter plates could use some help.  Standards, commonality, availability of parts are all good things.  Heretofore, users have had to send in their slides to be milled to accept mini red dot sights, or opt for 3rd party optics ready slides.  The time it takes to send in the slides to be milled, and varying quality of the milling work and optics ready slides notwithstanding, there was a lack a standard regarding the sight height, it’d be a coincidence if two slides milled by two different shops share the same sight height.   Glock’s MOS may not sit as low as some, but in our opinion, what MOS offers more than makes up for it, namely a uniform sight height, ease of installation, parts commonality and availability.

OPF-G, RMR is a collaboration with a USMC combat veteran and former USMC Shooting Team head coach, Tom Shields. We used Glock’s MOS adapter plates as a basis, and designed our version of what we think it should and can be.

OPF-G, RMR’s shape follows its functions, same as all of our products.  We outlined the following objectives:

1. Sight is to be fully supported in the front and rear by recoil lugs/fences, with minimum movement. 
2. Eliminate the need to use an additional sealer plate.
3. Correct length sight to plate, and plate to slide screws.  Screws are to be Torx.
4. Adapter plate is to be machined in steel.

OPF-G, RMR accomplishes all of the goals outlined above. OPF-G, RMR’s thickness is unchanged from that of the Glock MOS plate, it doesn’t change the sight’s mounted height, nor does it require different iron sights.

The OPF-G is compatible with the SRO but may not fit other sights, like those from Holosun, that use the same mounting hole pattern. Learn more at ForwardControlsDesign.com.

Forward Controls Design – Tactical Risotto Oscillating Device

You didn’t think you would be reading about a wooden spoon at JTT today and yet here we are…

If you know Forward Controls Design, you already know shenanigans are afoot by the name alone. They generally avoid the use of the word “tactical” in describing their products. You know when they call something the Tactical Risotto Oscillating Device, they are having some fun.

The Tactical Risotto Oscillating Device, or TROD, is an actual wooden spoon with the actual FCD logo engraved on it that you can actually buy and that is actually great. SHOT Show is upon us which means that useless swag is in season. It’s nice to see FCD having some fun and keeping their swag useful.
