Whether for Christmas, a birthday, a corporate, law enforcement, or military gift, the 24 oz. Battle Mug is an item that most boys and girls, young or old, would love to receive as a present. It’s something unique, and a lot of fun to boot.

Standard Battle Mug. The M4/AR-15 carry handle is an optional accessory.
Also in ATACs.

From the website ( BattleMug.com):

Battle Mug starts life as a 13.5 pound solid block of 6061 T6 billet aluminum before it enters a state of the art CNC facility in Huntsville, Alabama. This facility produces specialized parts and equipment for the U.S. Department of Defense, major weapons manufacturers, NASA, and a host of other companies working at the U.S. Rocket and Space Center.

Built to military specifications, Battle Mug features a M1913 rail interface system which allows the operator to mount a standard issue M4 carry handle, tactical light, laser device, holographic sight (we call them beer goggles) or even a bayonet for close quarters, high risk operations.

Battle Mug comes in multiple types of finishes in case you “operate” in a location where camouflage is required. My Battle Mug stays on call in the freezer so it’s ready at a moment’s notice to chill my beverage of choice.

BattleMug being prepped for an "engagement." Can you find it?
A Crimson Trace MVF-515 laser/light forward grip, and a GripPod forward grip + bipod. When your beverage needs extra support, and protection.
Trijicon ACOG 432 scope with the Crimson Trace MVF-515 laser/light forward grip. The author is prepared for short and long term engagements, in low light situations.
You can get engraving done as well. Battle Mug does custom engraving for military, law enforcement, and company logos.

Battle Mug also comes in a Dog Tag edition where the owner can mount a dog tag into the bottom crenelated area.

What would you want to do with a Battle Mug?

    So, does anyone make a custom holster for this thing? Kydex or leather?

      @Gun Details With a shape like that I'd expect something more along the lines of protective foam endcaps and a carry sling.

    That is awesome, I really want that.

    But not for $200...

    I'm in Canada so with shipping etc it would be $200, if I could get it up here at all...
