Keep your beer mil-spec with the Battle Mug

Here at GearScout, we always wondered what guys did with their issued M4 removable carry handle once they mounted their optic sights. We figured out at least one use for the grip as we looked around ITW Military Products’ booth. They had one of Hero Gear’s Battle Mugs out on display.

This thing is made from a 13.5 pound solid block of 6061 T6 billet aluminum and CNC’d with four M1913 rails so you can mount a light, optic or a bayonet (watch where you put it down…). The base is crenelated for use as a bar-room negotiation tool. The Battle Mug holds 24 ounces and retails for $189 from BattleMug.com.

The guys at Battle Mug are careful to point out that the party is BYOCH (bring your own carry handle). If you don’t have your own, they have AR15 handles for $34. Use coupon code GEARSCOUT for free shipping (CONUS only) good through April 1, 2012!
