Mission First Tactical Tekko KeyMod Handguard
The new Tekko AR Free Float 13.5″ KeyMod Rail System from Mission First Tactical ($199 in matte black or scorched dark earth) lets you replace your crappy plastic handguard with a state-of-the-art, machined aluminum handguard that accepts direct attachment of KeyMod accessories—at home with no special tools. The KeyMod attachment system provides secure mounting for MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rails and accessories, such as vertical grips, lights, lasers and bipods.
It features a full-length Picatinny top rail, plus five KeyMod flats, one each at the 3:00, 4:30, 6:00, 7:30 and 9:00 o’clock positions, and utilizes the standard barrel nut. Made in the USA, it comes with a lifetime warranty, all installation parts and illustrated step-by-step instructions. If your rifle does not have a low-profile gas block, you’ll need to order MFT’s E-VolV Low Profile Gas Block ($34.99). See it at your gun shop, or contact Mission First Tactical, Dept.

KAK Industries Shockwave
KAK Industries has teamed with Shockwave to produce the next generation of pistol braces for the AR-15 pistol. With a lightweight, more affordable “blade” brace attached to a 12-position adjustable length buffer tube, KAK and Shockwave have created a game changer.
The design of the dimpled buffer tube allows extending the pistol brace for longer arms, while remaining stable and firmly fixed in place under vigorous shooting. Due to its rigid polymer frame, pressure from the rear will not result in the supports collapsing. This gives the Shockwave a large advantage.
This $95 package includes everything you need: springs, buffer, tube, nut and endplate. The Shockwave combo package costs about 50% of competitive braces that come without mounting accessories. It is available in Black, FDE, Grey and OD green for all you fashion-conscious builders. The Shockwave comes with a copy of the ATF letter designating it as a legal accessory for pistol users, making it compliant in most states. See it at your nearest firearms dealer, or for more information contact KAK Industry, Dept. OT; Tel: (805) 981-4734; E-mail: [email protected]; Web: www.kakindustry.com
