Crimson Trace's LiNQ won American Rifleman's 2017 Golden Bullseye Award for Accessory of the Year, and this year at SHOT the Oregon-based company added a new model to the line that is compatible with Kalashnikov-pattern rifles. The system consists of a light/laser module that can be wirelessly activated by assuming a firm grip on the LiNQ pistol grip. The new model (LNQ-103G) is also compatible with Springfield Armory's M1A SOCOM 16 CQB rifle. For more, visit crimsontrace.com
