Blade-Tech
AR15 Rifle Training Bolt An overview with
pictures
We had the
chance to photograph the new Blade-Tech AR15
Rifle Training Bolt at the 2009 NRA National
Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona. I am a fan of
the Blade-Tech products and this is another
useful item in my opinion. When I first saw
the new Blade-Tech barrel being demonstrated
on this Smith & Wesson M&P15 I was
impressed with the design which allowed for
easy storage in the pocket of a range bag,
unlike the 16 inch long plastic training
barrel inserts we now use. This training
aid / safety device replaces the bolt in
the AR15 / M-16 with the bright yellow plastic
training bolt. A length of shock cord (elastic
cord) threads down the barrel and can tie
off with the yellow safety flag that sits
at the flash hider to indicate the rifle
is non-operable. The Blade-Tech AR15 Rifle
Training Bolt will allow full function of
the AR15 bolt carrier, which aids in trigger
function for reset drills. A big advantage
of a training barrel over the solid plastic
training rifles is usefulness, cost and
size. While the larger solid plastic training
guns cost many times more than this Blade-Tech
AR15 Rifle Training Bolt, they are also the
same size as a rifle so they can be difficult
to store and transport. A non-firing
training rifle ideal for disarming, weapon
retention, room clearing and CQB tactics.
Use your own AR15, Use your own sights or
optics, use your own forward grip, stock
and pistol grip.. even your own charging
handle and magazines
