Crimson Trace Personalizes Popular Rifles
OutdoorHub 08.21.15
When it’s time to equip a Modern Sporting Rifle (MSR) or AR rifle, some gun owners become overwhelmed with the large amount of “furniture” that can be purchased and installed. If that long gun is to be used for self- and home-defense, however, then the “furniture” list is less complex. In fact, the building basics become aiming and lighting.
Crimson Trace offers a big selection of laser aiming systems—Rail Master®, Rail Master Pro® and Modular Vertical Foregrips® (MVFs)—to help personalize MSRs. Installing laser sights on an MSR can help with target acquisition in low-light conditions, improve accuracy, reduce target covering times, and be an aid when required to use less-than-traditional shooting positions. The great news is that once you select a Crimson Trace laser sight for a MSR rifle, the only remaining decision is—green or red?
The Rail Master CMR-206 green laser sight is small, affordable and versatile. It provides the user with three modes of operation—momentary, strobe and constant on. If you want red instead, look at the CMR-201 Rail Master. These units are one of the lightest (weigh less than 0.8 ounces) laser sights on the market—period. The Rail Masters can be easily and quickly attached to nearly any firearm’s rails with Crimson Trace’s proprietary Secure Lock Technology®. Like nearly all Crimson Trace products, these lasers sight can be easily adjusted for windage and elevation to match the firearm and ammunition’s down-range point of impact. A battery and wrench, and easy-to-read owner’s manual, are included in the packaging.
The sleek contoured design of this Rail Master laser sight ensures it will not snag if the firearm is carried in a gun case. The Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price of the new Rail Master CMR-206 with green laser diode is $229.
Another popular Crimson Trace product that is installed on many MSR/AR rifles is the Rail Master Pro. Secure Lock Technology™ ensures it stays in place after attachment to nearly any gun’s rail (Weaver or M1913 Picatinny) system. Several inserts included with the product increase attachment options. As an additional benefit for owners and users, all Rail Master Pros can be quickly switched from gun to gun in mere seconds.
The operation modes for Rail Master Pros include: light and laser, laser only, light only and a strobing light paired with the laser. A micro computer inside the unit operates the light and laser at the user’s setting. Instant Activation® permits easy tap-on and tap-off operation and mode selection. Rail Master Pros have a durable, precision CNC-machined exterior housing that is smaller than a standard matchbox. The battery life is four hours, and the unit automatically powers-down after five minutes of inactivity.
Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price for the CMR-204 (green) is $379 and MSRP for the CMR-205 (red) is $279.
Rounding out Crimson Trace laser sights for AR/MSR rifles are Modular Vertical Foregrips. Available with red or green lasers, this sturdy foregrip utilizes Insinctive Activation, also provides a powerful 200-Lumen white LED light if desired and operates in Strobe, Momentary and Constant-On modes of operation. A master on/off switch helps keep the unit under control.
