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

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.

The RPG-7 Boresighter was imagineered by the BHI design and development gnomes to allow you to calibrate your optical sights.
Made from aircraft grade aluminum and hard coat anodized for wear protection, the Boresight has been machined to exacting tolerances while taking into account the bore dimension of varied countries of manufacture.
Instructions for usage included. Like one of the gnomes told me, beats the hell out of looking through the tube with bubble gum holding strings on the bore.
The boresight is available from Blackheart International.
Rock River Arms has just released a new 6 position Operator stock for the M16/M4 series weapons. Reminiscent of the SOPMOD stock with its sloping sides, it also features watertight tubes integrated on either side of the stock capable of holding 4 AA or 6 Cr123 batteries. To access the tubes, the ribbed buttpad is released via a button. It is then pulled downward to reveal the recesses.
The stock also has multiple sling mounts. RRA is selling the stock in kit form that includes a commercial receiver extension, end plate, lock nut, CAR buffer and buffer spring and retails for $170.00. It is available online from Rock River Arms.
