Two Things I Never Thought I’d See

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Although they share a name, one is a modern take on an old idea and the other is well, just plain different.

Ka-Bar Pistol Bayonet

The Pistol Bayonet from LaserLyte in conjunction with Ka-Bar knives evokes memories of childhood visits to museums featuring such oddities as muzzle loading pistols festooned with saber-style blades under the barrel. Pistols have been sporting rails for quite awhile now so I guess it was really only a matter of time before someone attached a blade. The 2.75 inch blade fits on medium to large pistols with rails and slides on and off with the press of two buttons. It features a Black Teflon coated carbon steel blade and comes with polymer sheath.

Delta Bayonette

Delta Assault Technologies, Inc. has introduced the Delta Bayonnette. Attach to the business end of a long arm, this non-lethal device stuns with 500,000 volts of electricity (you have to enunciate each syllable of that word when you are talking 500,000 volts). Consisting of a foregrip that attaches to any Picatinny/Weaver style rail and a DAT stun muzzle brake, it is designed to fit primarily M4-style weapons. Yes, those probes sticking off the end of the muzzle brake are the shock barbs. Please note: The product may not be legal in all localities.

Mega Machine Shop Lower Receiver

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

Mega Machine Shop, whose forged AR 15 upper and lower receivers are popular with black rifle enthusiasts has just released its new billet AR-15 lower receiver. Made of 7075-T6 aluminum and featuring machined angular lines and grip points around the magwell front, it also incorporates an enlarged trigger guard to accommodate gloved hands.

Many feel there are advantages to the billet method of production which is essentially machining a block of alloy from scratch and dimensional inconsistencies can be avoided which sometimes occur with the forging method, in which the receiver is hammered into shape while heated.

Rainier Arms currently has the billet lower available for $175.00

KAC Finger Stop

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

As of late there has been a wide proliferation of Short Barreled Rifles (SBR) with some as short as ten inches. Back in the days of the MP5K some shooters had the nasty habit of allowing one or more fingers to wander a bit too close to the barrel so the foregrip was modified with a finger guard. Also, many shooters are using foregrips and mini-foregrips simply as hand stops in order to index where their hand should rest. So Knights developed a new Finger Stop P/N: 25460 to both protect the fingers of shooters and permit a low profile index on the front rail.

Here you can see the Finger Stop employed on a KAC Personal Defense Weapon.

The Finger Stop also incorporates a push button front sling swivel and attaches to a Mil Std 1913 rail.

Daniel Defense Aimpoint Micro Mount

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Daniel Defense T1 Mount

Daniel Defense has just released the Aimpoint® Micro Mount (Tall). Designed to attach an Aimpoint Micro R-1, H-1, or T-1 optics, to a flat top upper receiver, the mount is lightweight, and it’s essentials only design offers a snag-free, low-profile, reversible mounting option for shooters that do not require or desire a quick attach/detach mount. The Aimpoint® Micro Mount features Daniel Defense’s Rock & Lock attachment system and secures to any MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny Rail with two slotted machine screws. These fasteners thread into stainless steel self-locking threaded inserts that resist vibration and loosening. They are also mitigated by a recoil lug that minimizes sheer forces on the factory mounting screws. Offering a lower 1⁄3rd co-witness with your back up iron sights, this mount is ideal for shooters who are looking for the lightest mount for their Aimpoint® Micro. In fact, one internet user who has already adopted the mount for his rifle weighed the mount AND painted T-1 optic at an astounding 4.7 ounces.

The new mount is machined from 6061 aircraft grade aluminum and then Military Specification Hard Coat Anodized. Available from www.DanielDefense.com.
