Strike Industries AK Rear Rail

Sunday, March 11th, 2012

AKs are inexpensive so lots of guys are picking them up. Consequently, we are seeing more and more accessories for the AK family to soup them up. One of the latest examples is this AK Rear Sight Rail For Low Profile Red Dot Optics from Strike Industries.

Basically, it replaces the rear sight with a 1913 rail so that you can mount an MRDS or other sights.

IWI Negev-7 Features Semi-Auto Fire

Sunday, March 11th, 2012

The new Negev NG-7 from Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) is a 7.62mm big brother to the popular Negev-5 5.56mm SAW and shares almost 80% of its components with its smaller brother. The NG stands for next generation so, in addition to the larger caliber, it also features semiautomatic fire. In automatic mode, its rate of fire is over 700 rounds per minute.

Interested parties can see the NG-7 at DefExpo India 2012 (New Delhi, March 29-April 1) , Israel Pavilion, Stand 11.10-L and FIDAE International Air & Space Fair (Santiago, Chile, March 27-April 1) Israel Pavilion, Hall D, Stand 1a.

Coming Soon to an Action Flick Near You

Sunday, March 11th, 2012

At first I thought this was a joke. It isn’t. I guess we can all take off our hats to “engineering.”

Making its debut at IWA, the Arsenal Firearms AF2011-A1 (“Twenty Eleven” for aficionados) is a double barreled (and actioned) version of the 1911. It can be ordered either with 2 independent triggers and one sear group (left or right, with user-interchangeability for right or left operations) or with 2 triggers permanently joined and the choice of 1 or 2 sear groups.

The AF2011-A1 is available in mirror finish Deep Blue (aka pimp) or with a 3400 Vickers surface hardness White Ash Nitrite coating.

The Infidel Zippo

Saturday, March 10th, 2012

Like the idea or not, clothing and accessories sporting the Infidel logo are popular. And this one is small enough to hold some personal meaning and not be in-your-face to everyone you meet. It’s perfect for pulling out at just the right moment to get the full effect.

Available in Black or Chrome finish. Made in USA!

Cabot Guns recognized by their Representative

Saturday, March 10th, 2012

I had the opportunity to check out Cabot Guns during SHOT Show, and wrote here about their “Southpaw”. They were recently recognized on C-SPAN by their Congressional Representative. It’s a brief mention to be sure, but I thought I’d share it. Congratulations to Rob Bianchin and the rest of the Cabot crew (who’re actually in Nuremberg exhibiting at the IWA Outdoor Classic, having driven there in a vintage WWII Jeep – which was invented there in Butler County where the Cabot shop is located).
