LaserLyte is a company that specializes in firearms laser technology. They now have a training kit especially for the owners of AR type rifles. The kit includes the LaserLyte® .223 laser cartridge trainer, a 32-inch push rod, an over-sized charging handle and a charging block that prevents live rounds from being chambered; the LaserLyte® LT-223 laser cartridge trainer fits inside the cartridge chamber and features a firing pin activation switch that indicates the bullet's impact with a bright red laser dot while the built-in snap cap is designed to protect the firing pin and O-rings hold the laser in place accurately and allow for repeated practice without compromising accuracy. The rimless cartridge trainer will not accidentally eject even with constant racking. An ambidextrous, over-sized charging handle allows for thousands of charges without the finger fatigue commonly found in other charging handles and the charging block (a small round plug that goes in the buffer tube spring) allows just 1.75 inches of travel. It is within this short distance that the user can cock the rifle for another laser shot. This keeps motion to a minimum with no over-travel. The charging block also acts as a safety feature, preventing live rounds from being chambered from a magazine while it is in place (the bolt is not open sufficiently to allow it). When training is complete, the LT-223 cartridge laser trainer can be ejected with the included 32-inch push rod. The rod comes in four 8-inch segments, designed combined to the proper length for individual barrels.
