Real Avid

Real Avid Smart Mat

The Smart Mat is Real Avid’s most popular product — a large-format non-slip silicone mat printed with exploded firearm diagrams. Parts placed on the mat don’t roll away, the diagram guides reassembly, and the impermeable surface protects tables from solvents. Available for AR-15, 1911, Glock, and other popular platforms, the Smart Mat has become a standard on gun cleaning benches nationwide. For anyone who has lost small springs on the workshop floor, the Smart Mat’s non-slip surface is a meaningful quality-of-life improvement.

Real Avid AR-15 Armorer Tools

Real Avid produces a comprehensive AR-15 armorers kit — including their pivoting multi-tool (AR15 multi-tool), Accu-Punch roll pin punch set, and Master Armorers Kit that covers most AR-15 maintenance operations from barrel nut installation to gas key staking. Their Pivot Pin Tool addresses one of the most annoying AR-15 reassembly operations — installing the lower pivot pin without losing the detent — with a simple guided tool that makes it a one-person job.
