What are we looking at here exactly? Why, it’s a brand-new stock from BCM. The first glimpse came from a couple of images showing Frank Proctor and Travis Haley running it on their rifles.
Most recently, Larry Vickers posted a few up close photos of the new stock on his Facebook fan page.
We look forward to seeing this stock on the market in the next few weeks.
The PKM Optics Rail replaces the factory leaf sight on a PKM with a precision machined 7075 T-6 aluminum Mil-Std 1913 rail with an integrated iron sight (with a 100m zero when properly installed). This allows for properly mounting an optic on a PKM for improved combat effectiveness. The PKM Optics Rail comes with all required installation hardware and instructions.
Note that the rail comes with hard coat Type III anodizing in Black, the grey model shown in the pictures is purely for contrast. Made in the USA.

NEWINGTON, N.H. (September 2014) — SIG SAUER®, Inc. has imported a limited number of the famed Swiss Arms SG 553 pistols to the U.S. market. These Swiss-built firearms have set the standard for reliability and dependability worldwide.
Built around the famed SG 551/552 series gas piston actions, the SG 553 delivers the ultimate in reliability and function combined with the legendary Swiss design and attention to manufacturing details.
“The classic SG rifle series are highly sought among collectors and firearms experts,” said Jeff Creamer, SIG SAUER Executive Director and General Merchandise Manager. “This was a unique opportunity and the only time SIG SAUER has been able to offer the SG 553 to the commercial market in the United States.”
Featuring a two-position gas valve, ambidextrous controls and hooded front sight. The SG 553 is chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO, and has a rugged, durable Nitride treated finish.
The SG 553 is available with either the renowned Swiss Rotary Diopter Sight welded to the receiver or with an M1913 rail, for mounting any number of optics or accessories. Flip-up sights are standard on the railed models.
A polymer handguard keeps the classic lines of the SG 553 design. Legendary 30-round Swiss translucent polymer 30-round magazines and a three-prong flash hider complete the package.

During a recent trip to Portland, I had a chance to meet the folks from RazorSix Tactical. Their new AK-WIKQD is a sling attachment point designed specifically for the AK platform, adapting most AR-type slings with a QD. No modifications are required, as it screws onto the gas block. This has the added benefit of freeing up a front rail for a light and/or optic.
The AK-WIKQD is made from 6061 aluminum, anodized black and laser engraved with the RazorSix diamond logo.
Made in the USA.
