We have sorely neglected our presence here and for that I apologize. However, we have so many projects in the pipeline that kept our attention elsewhere. That said, the last year has seen us roll out Mod 3 variants of all our existing low profile mounts. Mod 3 introduces an 1144 StressProof® heat treated full width steel index as well as a 30% weight reduction.
New for 2015 is our SFP ( small footprint ) line of components. The SFP components feature the same 1144 StressProof® heat treated full width steel index and a much narrower footprint on the Picatinny rail. The width of any given component is no wider than the clamp of first and second generation parts. In addition to the SFP line, we are offering several new components including the GS-334x shown below. An entire line of offset sling mounts are in production as well as SFP variants of our offset light mounts. We will also be releasing the much requested M-Series offset mount for M Series Surefire lights.
One final note, our GSR Free Float Tube is entering final prototype phase. If no other modifications are required, you can expect to see that along with a line of M-Lok components this year as well.
Description
The Patented Pending Gear Sector™ Rail Mount Offset QD Socket provides a forward mounting location for those who wish to utilize our two or three point sling with our QD push button adapter. It can also be used with a variety of other quick detach push button swivels commercially available. We designed the mount to fit perfectly flush with the Tango Down® rail panels to provide an uninterrupted rail space. The socket was designed and machined to prevent rotation which in turn prevents your sling from becoming twisted. It offsets the quick detach swivel 45 degrees allowing the weapon to hang more naturally when slung across the chest in a ready position. It comes complete with all mounting hardware, screws, hex keys, and Vibra-Tite® to make installation fast and easy. Mod 3 components feature a 30% reduction in weight; an 1144 StressProof® heat treated full width steel index, as well as the ability to index your swivel in 8 different clock positions!
