		<description><![CDATA[The Geissele Super Modular Rail Mk2 beefs up the original Mk1 handguard design using sliding backer nuts instead of threaded inserts to mount modular 1913 Picatinny rail sections. This makes one of the most robust handguard rail systems on the market even more bomber, but it does add a little more weight. However, Geissele tells [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There seems to be a geyser that spouts gun-cleaning fluids as fast as the promises each makes. I make no claims regarding this new carbon-dissolving gun lube called FireClean except to say that it looks like it does break down carbon on contact using just a paper towel and some elbow grease. The guys from [...]]]></description>

Mount your lights, lasers, grips and optics on the 8 1913 rail sections, then rotate the handguard on the barrel to position the devices on the fly. There are two independently 360-degree rotating sections, fore and aft, each unlocked by its own push button that sits [...]]]></description>

MAG makes the part from their own nickel-based alloy and finishes it with a patented coating process. The coating process is an integral part of the part&#8217;s design, so if you [...]]]></description>
