Great AK-47/74 Accessories Available from RangeMonkey

Like many of us out there, you may have picked up an AK variant (or two) at some point in the past few months. You might have even had a chance to take it out to the range on these past couple nice weekends we've had here in the east and got a few rounds through it too, barring you could find some ammo to actually shoot (We've actually got some 7.62x39 if you're looking). Now you're looking for something to add on to give it that new feel again. Well at RangeMonkey we've got more than enough to keep you in Kalashnikov heaven. Take a look at some of our favorites.

Damage AK Modular Forearm Assembly

This Forearm fits most AK-47 & AK-74 variants with stamped or milled receivers with extremely easy installation! It simply replaces the standard handguard & gas tube.

All instructions & hardware are included. The innovative proprietary design does not  need to mount to the barrel and provides a solid mounting platform for optics and accessories as rugged as the AK-47 itself. Made in the USA, as we've come to expect with Damage, using advanced precision manufacturing with Mil-A-8625 Hardcoat Anodized protective finish. Constructed of high-strength aluminum with aerospace alloy gas block insert and heavy duty M4 metric thread fasteners.

The biggest benefit in our minds is it adds only 4-6 ounces to the weapon depending on type of forearm & gas tube replaced. Optional accessories are excluded from that weight.  This package includes 2 detachable side-mounting Mil-Std 1913 Rails, one features a Quick-Detach swivel socket that can be mounted in various positions. All the needed mounting hardware and a small tube of Loc-tite. What More could be needed? The best forearms for one of the arguably best weapons out there.

Armor Plating Explained by Range Monkey

Body armor standards are regional. Around the world ammunition varies and as a result the armor testing must reflect the threats found locally. While many standards exist, a few standards are widely used as models. The US National Institute of Justice ballistic and stab documents are examples of broadly accepted standards. These "model" standards are usually adapted by other counties by incorporation of the basic test methodologies with modification of the bullets that are required for test. NIJ Standard-0101.06 has specific performance standards for bullet resistant vests used by law enforcement. This rates vests on the following scale against penetration and also blunt trauma protection (deformation).

Armor Level	Protection
Type I (.380 ACP)	This armor would protect against 2.6 g (40 gr) .22 Long Rifle Lead Round Nose (LR LRN) bullets at a velocity of 329 m/s (1080 ft/s ± 30 ft/s) and 6.2 g (95 gr) .380 ACP Full Metal Jacketed Round Nose (FMJ RN) bullets at a velocity of 322 m/s (1055 ft/s ± 30 ft/s). It is no longer part of the standard.
Type IIA (9 mm;.40 S&W;.45 ACP)	New armor protects against 8 g (124 gr) 9×19mm Parabellum Full Metal Jacketed Round Nose (FMJ RN) bullets at a velocity of 373 m/s ± 9.1 m/s (1225 ft/s ± 30 ft/s); 11.7 g (180 gr) .40 S&W Full Metal Jacketed (FMJ) bullets at a velocity of 352 m/s ± 9.1 m/s (1155 ft/s ± 30 ft/s) and 14.9 g (230 gr).45 ACP Full Metal Jacketed (FMJ) bullets at a velocity of 275 m/s ± 9.1 m/s (900 ft/s ± 30 ft/s).

Pistol Mount Flashlight and Laser Combo - UTG LT-TLP28 - VS - NC Star AQPFLS

We have had a lot of questions come in recently about the two of our most popular compact flashlight and laser combos. First the specs:

     

                      NC Star AQPFLS                                UTG LT-TLP28

              3 Watt LED                                           23mm Xenon IRB Bulb  

       120 Lumens output                                    126 Lumens output

          CR123A x 2                                             CR123A x 2  

        Laser Max Output: <5mW                        Laser Max Output 2.5-3.1mW

         Wavelength: 635-655nm                              Wavelength: 630-640 nm

            Length  3.37 in.                                           Length: 3.58 in. 

For the money both of these lights are good options. I prefer the switch on the NC Star over the UTG, but both offer ether on/off or momentary on.On the UTG you can also leave the switch in the on position and add one of there pressure switches if you plan on mounting it on a rifle. They also both have three settings, flashlight only, laser only, and both flashlight and laser. The NC Star has a toggle switch on the back and the UTG has a rotating part behind the bezel to change it. 

The NC Star is a little smaller and lighter then the UTG, but there is one obvious flaw I ran into. 

The Quick Release mount on the AQPFLS did not fit the Glock I had on hand. It did slide on the PF9 but the back of the light hit the trigger guard before I was able to get it locked in. I put it on a rifle we had and it fit fine so just make sure your rail is to spec. before you buy it. 

The Nc Star is LED so the light has a blueish tinit to it. The UTG uses a Xenon bulb so the light is more yellow. Both of the light seemed to put out the same amount of light. 

  

Right-UTG  Left-NC Star
10 yards from the wall with the lights out. 

I prefer the size of the NC Star but the mount will limit what you can use it for. All in all both lights are a good deal for the money and as long as it fits I think you will be happy.

Make sure you stop by and take a look at all the gear we carry on RangeMonkey.com
