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.

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).

BE Meyers IZLID Aiming Lasers

Thursday, March 8th, 2012

Used by every branch of the US military, the IZLID family of IR laser pointers and illuminators produced by BE Meyers. You’re probably quite familiar with their use by Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTAC) but these IR lasers provide a single solution for weapons aiming, target illumination, and communicating intent with other fire elements on the ground as well as in the air. The video above showcases footage from Iraq along with training ranges in the Southwestern US to highlight the IZLID 200P and the IZLID Ultra and how they enhance accuracy at longer ranges for crew served weapons in low light and night conditions. It also demonstrates the use of the IZLID family of products on helicopters for both door guns and installed weapons, and how the lasers can be used to communicate and coordinate Air Ground Integration.

Standard equipment for SOF elements and all JTACs, the IZLID line of IR lasers provides a critical tool to support long range weapon aiming, delivers unparalleled illumination for night time reconnaissance and surveillance, and is the standard tool for coordinating close air support.

Many JTACs carry two different IZLID products, the 195 mW IZLID 200P for immediate coordination with helicopters, and the 1,000 mW IZLID Ultra or IZLID 1000 for communication and directing aviation assets at greater distances.

Rugged enough to be used for weapon aiming on the M2 .50 Cal Machine Gun and mini guns, but light enough to be mounted on individual weapons or used by hand, the IZLID 200P and IZLID Ultra are versatile, dependable, and powerful IR lasers “battle field proven and ready to deliver a tactical advantage today.”

IZLIDs are also being used by both military and law enforcement Reconnaissance and Surveillance elements to illuminate targets of interest. The beam can be opened up to a flood and used to paint and illuminate an item for an IR camera system ground based or airborne.
