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.
Will it stand up to the stresses of continuous, torturous recoil? Can it withstand getting beat up and knocked around? How will it do in extreme heat, cold and humidity? Will it turn on and stay on when you need it most?
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.
For whatever reason mankind loves to debate amongst one another. It doesn’t matter what they’re about, opinions will differ. Who was hotter? Ginger or Mary Ann? Best truck?…

Two years ago, it would not have been possible to build a functioning AR-15 that weighed under 5-pounds with off-the-shelf parts. They were just not available. Thanks to companies like Battle Arms, V7 Weapon Systems and 2A Arms, that has all changed in the last few months.
In my pursuit to finish a Cross Machine & Tool (CMT) .308 build, I stumbled on JL Billet, a veteran owned and operated manufacturer based in San Diego, CA. They make some pretty killer looking stuff. Looks aside, I am always concerned with durability and quality, so I set out to put it to the test and share my first hand experience.
In January I was introduced to Oakley’s new Tombstone eyewear system and since then I have been shooting with them on a weekly basis. I’ve been a loyal Oakley sunglasses wearer for decades (yes, I’m wearing Oakley Wiretaps on my head as I write this) and have enjoyed their shooting glasses for just as long. The improvements Oakley incorporated into this new Tombstone eyewear, however, are truly game-changing in the shooting sports world, both literally and figuratively… and this new eyewear system has just been released to the public.
