Being a lefty sometimes presents a challenge when it comes to sling mounting options on some weapons. One of these is the FAL PARA model. Here’s how I dealt with it.
Vltor Weapons Systems is introducing a CASV handguard for FN FAL metric variants, called the CASV-FA. The CASV-FA is a light weight, drop-in handguard that requires no modification to the weapon, and allows users to install rails where they choose. At the time of this writing, the CASV-FA will debut at the 2010 SHOT Show and go into production some time after.
To compliment their BAD-T1/’The Armorer’, the multi-purpose tool and precision ordnance gauge designed for the M1A/M-14 type rifle; Battle Arms Development (B.A.D.) has come out with the BAD-T3 and BAD-T4 double-ended gas cylinder lock wrench tools. Like the T1, the T3 and T4 are specialized, high-end quality tools designed for the shooting enthusiast.
Badger Ordnance is well known as a manufacturer of precision and tactical rifle accessories, and one of those products is the Tactical Bolt Knob for bolt action rifles.
The Tactical Bolt Knob is an oversized bolt knob that allows fast, easy access to the bolt, even with gloved hands. It provides extra size and length which gives the shooter better control of the bolt and extra leverage for tight or stuck rounds. The added length also provides clearance to the scope bell for the fingers, which were precariously close with the stock bolt knob.
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.
This beautifully painted poster was painted digitally by a friend, Duke. It’s a great depiction of a U.S. sniper team that Duke based on research while creating it. He took on this project to benefit American Snipers.org, which is a non-profit organization run by both military and police snipers, whose sole mission is to ensure that every shooter in harm’s way has the equipment they need to accomplish their mission, and return to their friendly area alive.
The Mesa Tactical Saddle Rail comprises of a machined aluminum bracket that wraps around the shotgun receiver. There is a 1913 Picatinny rail at the top for mounting of optics, and their excellent SureShell shell carrier on the side. The Saddle mount attaches via internally threaded steel pins, that replace the receiver pins on the 870 and to which the saddle bolts securely.
