LaRue’s LT-105 Compact ACOG Mount is made for Trijicon’s compact ACOGs that utilize the carry handle mount with single screw. It’s been out for quite a while, but I didn’t have the occasion to use one as I didn’t have a compact ACOG, until now. The TA44SR-10 is one of the latest compact models from Trijicon, and also the smallest and lightest to date.
Battle Arms Development (BAD) is offering an improved Bracket and Screw set that replaces the original bracket and screw on the issue Matech B.U.I.S. It features a thicker and stronger bracket and a stronger screw with smaller Allen head socket to minimize over-torquing.
I previewed Vltor’s VST-1C (Vltor Sight Tower) Assembly on the M4K and on the midlength VIS build, back in January ‘07 and they’ve been available for a while now. A few months ago, Vltor updated the design with four different variations available.
The MRDS (Mini Red Dot Sight) from Insight Tech-Gear is a non-magnified, light weight, ruggedized reflex weapon sight intended to be used as a stand-alone primary sight, or as a secondary/backup sighting device in addition to a primary optic. It mounts to existing optics as well as MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny and Weaver-style rails, utilizing available aftermarket mounts. It is designed to meet and exceed military durability specifications for equipment used by special operations personnel under combat conditions. Insight Tech-Gear is a leading provider to tactical lasers, illuminators and thermal imaging equipment to the military.
The Cat Tail (power lever for variable power scopes) is now available for the NightForce NXS Compact scope models.
A Cat Tail is a power throw lever for a variable power scope. It’s an attachment that enables the power ring to be rotated more quickly and easily by providing added leverage. This can be advantageous if the user needs to change the power setting on their scope rapidly, or has a scope with a stiff power adjustment ring.
Magpul Industries has finally released their long awaited (at least for me, since SHOT 2008) MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight). What makes them different from other back-up iron sights? They’re made of polymer, not iron. They were designed as a low-cost alternative to more expensive steel/aluminum front and rear sights, and a set of both front and rear cost as much as a ‘iron’ rear sight would. Being made of polymer, they can be produced in any standard colour Magpul manufactures their other products in.
LaRue Tactical listened to AK shooters expressing the need for a simple, low profile optic for the AK weapon and came up with their AK IronDot. It’s a solidly-mounted mini-red dot sight (MRD) that replaces the rear iron sight on the AK, for the most compact red dot for the AK available yet.
