Each month, GUNS&TACTICS will showcase current and innovative AR parts in a series we call,"AR UPGRADES". New parts are coming to market so fast these days, it's hard to keep up. So we've decided to show upgrade options for your AR15/AR10. Everything from wild to mild, boring to bling, cool to downright dumb, if it’s new, G&T will take a look at it.

I recently had the opportunity to install the AM-TAC Precision K.R.S. V2 keymod handguard with QIK System in the 15" variety. The company claims their handguard is "suitable for any environment and any mission." We put it to the test to see if it could hold up under heavy use.

Almost all of us in the tactical field drool over the latest gear and accessories for everything from weapons to clothing, and many of us are self-proclaimed pack-junkies quick to snatch up the latest in rucksack and tactical bag options (although whether or not we actually have anything to put in that bag yet can sometimes be irrelevant.) While we typically pay careful consideration to the pockets, load capacity, weatherproofing and any number of features that a pack may boast, we inevitably end up slapping on 100 MPH tape, bungees, paracord, zip-ties and even rubber bands to get our load-out right where we want it. One challenge that is often difficult to overcome, however, is a lack of anchor points. D-rings and webbing occasionally fit the need of securing gear that can’t be thrown in a bag or need to be readily accessible, but there just never seems to be enough of them to go around.

It started on a lunch break in the middle of a hot day of training last summer as several of us took our armor off and the familiar smell of “plate carrier funk” started emanating from our sweat-soaked shirts. That day, though, I’d left the shirt I usually wear under my armor behind to test a new kind of shirt after a recommendation from a friend who swore up and down that it was “stink proof.”

Any domestic first responder, whether it be Fire, EMS, or Police, has more than likely heard of LAPolicegear.com. I’ve utilized them for years and find, for the most part, that their prices are highly competitive, their selections are good, and their in-stock inventory rivals other national chains/distributors.
