Sun Devil Mfg. Is supposed to be releasing a new handguard for the ar platform. But they aren’t posting it online till friday. Any chance you could get a pic of it early, with estimated pricing?

I checked their website (great company, not-so-great website) and I saw what I think are rifle and carbine length handgaurds. Talks about length and a kit with barrel nut and a picatinny accessory rail, so I am guessing that is what it is. Need to see some pictures though. If its like everything else they make it is probably pretty sweet!!
I just picked up one of their billet sets in purple, which is why I’m curious. I haven’t bought a rail yet… Although the new lancer carbon fiber rails looks sweet.
I apologize this is a bit off topic, but where did you get the small Texas and US flags?
Mil-Spec Monkey has the patches.
A good look at the Mayflower AK rig would be nice!!!
Thank you!
Hey! Thanks for the information! I really appreciate your efforts to keep the rest of us “tacticians” informed. Any chance you could please stop by the Ka bar/Becker table to take a look at any potential BK-10/Tweener scale releases??? Any pictures of any/all new knife (ESEE is great too) releases would be much obliged!!!
Curious if Eagle has anything new this year? I heard rumors that they have a couple of new and talented designers.
Eagle never stopped designing good kit, they just stopped selling it to individuals…
Don’t forget Dana Gleason and the good folks at Mystery Ranch. I’m always curious about what they’ve been up to!!! My 3-Day Assault pack is “The DEAL”. You can tell ‘em I said so!
A look at the new sig 227. Maybe a few pics of the extended magazine.
DON’T LEAVE THE CRKT BOOTH!!! You will have passed over one of the biggest announcements. The production versions of the RMJ Tactical Jenny Wren Tomahak.
Any chance you could scope out the LaRue booth? Thanks!
Anything new from Bond Arms?
Would lije to see what Mega arms is replacing the MTS with.
any chance you could swing by rogue gunfighters booth, was hoping to see their lvr plate carrier in ODG’s camo. thanks
Do you have any more information on the Gemtech 300 Blackout ammunition, as in when and where it will be available?
Can you stop by Kryptek and see what is new with them this year?
Thanks for the great coverage.
10 lumens weapon light? Awesome…
Just a heads up on image 1010…it is “TopsKnives.com” and NOT “TopKnives.com”
Yeah, just a typo. The surrounding pics though mention Tops correctly.
Could you see if war sports LVOA at-15? And see if the Larues predataOBR 5.56 has the same removable rail as the 7.62?
Thanks a million for the great coverage!
If you make it over to the Sig Sauer booth and can wrangle a rep, could you inquire about plans to release more versions of the new P227? There’s three out now but I’d love to see an Equinox finish. Thanks!
Could you please check out ARSENAL STRIKE ONE 9mm pistol.
New locking system looks really interesting……thanx.
Could you please check and see if Gerber is there? If so would you ask them about the release date of th Downrange Tomahawk and if it will be available to the general public or just LE/MIL? I appreciate it!! Have fun guys.

–1010– The Little Bro fixed blade from TopKnives.com. Could be great addition to my little collection! ^KB
The domain “TopKnives.com” is for sale; perhaps it’s supposed to be Top[s]Knives.com ?
Stop by Surefire and Leatherman to photo their new offerings please.
What is that pro defense thing?
Cool gear!! Thanks for the pics!!
Great LIVE coverage, Gentlemen! Next best thing to being there. Looking forward to more pics!
Has any one visited the Benchmade Booth yet?
Would love to see pix of the new Bushnell Tactical Elite series of scopes coming out.
I would love to get some details on the Princeton Tec Switch Rail light. You have a few pictures of it above. I carry a KelTec PF9 and have been waiting for a small frame simple rail light to drop in the market. This looks like it may meet my needs. Do you have any information about when the will be available and what the price point will be. It is not on Princeton’s site so I’m assuming they were introducing it at SHOT. Much thanks.
