Real Avid will be one of just many manufacturers at the 2023 National Rifle Association Annual Meeting, but they’ll probably be the only ones at booth #3263. We’re reliably told (because they told us) the company will have a bunch of workbenches and displays set up so their staff can showcase some of the many Real Avid tools and innovative weapon maintenance solutions.
One of those will be their new “Smart Assist Accessory System.” Described as a “plug and play” hands-free accessory system, it’s a pretty ingenious way to magnify and/or illuminate your gun DIY, gunsmithing, or reloading efforts.
The Smart Assist Accessory System unit has four pieces:
- A docking station.
- Five (5) inch magnifying glass (on flexible mount).
- 180-lumen work light (on flexible mount).
- Cell phone holder (again, on a flexible mount).
The system apparently also works with their Master Gun Station and Master Gun Vise.
Real Avid describes the Smart Assist Accessory System as the “most advanced, and comprehensive firearm bench tool ever designed for cleaning, modifying and maintaining shotguns and rifles. Its fully adjustable design accommodates nearly all long guns, and the system includes storage options for chemicals, brushes, jags and cleaning rods.”
Sure, there are other options out there, but this is a pretty organized setup, built specifically for firearms maintenance, designed by a company in the firearms “battlespace.” That latter point is something to keep in mind if you’re considering a cheap Amazon Prime option instead.
