Brownells Adds BRN-180S™: Short-Barreled Little Brother of BRN-180™

Brownells Adds BRN-180S™: Short-Barreled Version of BRN-180™

GRINNELL, Iowa (April 17, 2019) – Hot on the heels of one its most-exciting SHOT Show launches ever, Brownells has unveiled the BRN-180S – the new, short-barreled version of the BRN-180 complete upper assembly debuted at the 2019 SHOT Show.

Designed in conjunction with Primary Weapons Systems and FM Products, the BRN-180S retains all the desirable features of its big brother, but has a  10.5″ barrel for those wishing to build an AR-180-style pistol, or –with the required ATF paperwork and tax stamp – a short-barreled rifle (SBR).

Another new feature on the BRN-180S is a clearly-marked adjustable gas system, allowing the user to quickly tune the upper for either unsuppressed or suppressed shooting.

“The reaction to our 2019 SHOT Show announcement of the original BRN-180 was one of the largest, most-positive we’ve seen,” said Brownells Director of Product Management Paul Levy. “The most-common request from customers was for us to come out with a short-barreled version of the BRN-180. Thanks to PWS and FM Products, we were able to do that.”

Available for pre-orders now, the BRN-180S will make its first public appearance at the 2019 NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits April 26-28, in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Built around a short-stroke piston system, the BRN-180S drops onto any mil-spec AR-15 lower and makes it easy to attach either a folding pistol brace or folding stock.

Just like the BRN-180, the BRN-180S can be fired while folded.

Features of the BRN-180S Upper include:

  • 10.5″ barrel
  • .223 Wylde chamber
  • 1-8″ twist rifling
  • Twin internal guide rods
  • Polymer ejection port cover
  • Easy-to-remove M-LOK® handguard
  • Original-style 3-prong flash hider
  • Reciprocating side charging handle
  • Adjustable gas system

Listed on the Brownells website as #078-000-537, the BRN-180S upper assembly retails for $799 and does not require an FFL to purchase.

To learn more about the BRN-180S, visit the Brownells BRN-180 page.

Meprolight USA® to Exhibit at the 2019 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits

Meprolight USA® bringing their cutting-edge red dots and sight systems to the 148thAnnual National Rifle Association Meetings & Exhibits in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Middletown, Penn. (April 2019) – Meprolight USA®, the US sales and marketing division of Meprolight®, a world leader in a variety of optic solutions from electro-optics sights, self-illuminated night sights, and innovative pistol sights, are pleased to display to attendees at the 2019 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits a wide array of their world-renowned red dot and thermal sights. They will also show their new augmented reality weapon sight system, the MEPRO FORESIGHT. Meprolight’s latest line up will be at booth 1420, April 26 – 29, 2019 at the Indiana Convention Center, in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Meprolight, an international company developing electro-optic systems for military, law enforcement, and sport shooters, opened its US facility in early 2019 to better serve their growing US market. At the 148th NRA event, Meprolight’s sales and marketing team will be demonstrating a variety of their new developments including the MEPRO FORESIGHT, the first augmented weapon sight on the market today, providing essential tactical data projected right on the transparent optical lens in real-time (battery level, sensor data, Bluetooth connectivity and in the near future, a shot counter).

The new upgraded MEPRO RDS PRO V.2 electro-optical red-dot sight is the latest generation featuring an optimized combination, more brightness positions (16 brightness levels compare to four brightness levels in its predecessor), supports both red and green aiming patterns and multiple selections of aiming patterns all through a large crystal clear, transparent display window.

The newest addition to the MEPRO RDS and RDS PRO series, the MEPRO MicroRDS, is a small, rugged, energy efficient, electro-optical red dot sight designed for handguns, shotguns, and rifles with a large display window and a clearly defined red-dot for fast target acquisition with both eyes open. The MicroRDS Kit includes a patent-pending dovetail adapter with a quick release mechanism that allows mounting and dismounting the MicroRDS on the gun with a click of a finger. The adapter includes high-quality Meprolight Night Sights that allow accurate and fast shooting under any lighting conditions when the MicroRDS Optic is removed.

Varmint hunters require sights that allow them to detect targets in total darkness and Meprolight has them covered too with the MEPRO NYX-200, a multispectral dual-channel thermal weapon sight. This robust sight is available in several configurations, all providing a high-resolution thermal channel with 640×480 microbolometer core and a 17µ pixel size. It also provides a sensitive camera channel featuring a 1280×640 microbolometer core low-light or day camera. It can quickly be changed from hand-held to weapons mount and vice versa.

For professionals requiring a multi-purpose sight capable of day/night integration and fast transition between long range and CQC situations, the MEPRO MOR PRO reflex sight with two laser pointers (visible and IR) will become their go-to sight. The passive reflex is self-illuminated for any time use and the active reflex offers an extra bright LED dot for special lighting circumstances. Red or green laser pointers for urban or close quarter scenarios can easily be activated. An IR laser pointer for covert operations gives the user the ultimate advantage. The MEPRO MOR PRO’s combined zeroing system co-aligns the aiming pattern and the two laser pointers into a single zeroing procedure, saving time and increasing accuracy.

 

About Meprolight®:

Meprolight is a leading International Electro-Optics company, developing, manufacturing and marketing systems for infantry, armed forces, law enforcement agencies and civilian markets since 1990.

Meprolight provides comprehensive solutions with a wide array of combat-proven products; electro-optical solutions, night vision devices, digital Low light handheld devices, thermal target acquisition systems, and a variety of night sights and other tritium illuminated products for safety and security applications.

German Precision Optics Expands Custom Turret Offerings

RICHMOND, Va. (April 17, 2019) — German Precision Optics (GPO), USA has announced the company has expanded its custom turret program to cover more of its riflescopes. Kenton Industry Custom Turrets are now available for six more scopes in the Passion line—the 3X 3-9×42, the 3X 4-12×42, the 3X 6-18×50, the 6X 1-6×24, the 6X 2.5-15x50i and the 6X 2.5-15x56i—to match the elevation turret to the ballistics of each customer’s favorite rifle and cartridge.

“Today’s shooter has very high expectations of the equipment,” said Mike Jensen, GPO, USA president and CEO. “At GPO, we aspire to offer superior solutions that increase accuracy at long distances. Kenton Industries is the premier leader in custom turret technology. We partnered with Kenton to provide highly accurate turret solutions for our Passion 4X 6-24×50 scope. We are excited to now expand that program to almost all of the GPO Passion riflescopes, as it is such a great value and benefit to our customers.”

Custom engraved elevation turrets to match the bullet drop from a specific rifle and load allow the shooter to easily dial in the yardage for precision shooting at any distance. Once set up, shooters simply range the target and dial the turret to that distance. This eliminates hold-over for extremely accurate shots without all the ballistic calculations or guesswork.

Kenton Industries custom engraved turrets are available for $69.95 for the Passion 3X scopes and $99.95 for the Passion 6X scopes. Visit the Kenton GPO Page for more information. A certificate for a free custom turret from Kenton is included with the Passion 4X 6-24×50 scope.

NSSF, BJA Unveil New Videos on Firearms Safety

NSSF The Firearms Industry Trade Association

 

“Many Paths to Firearm Safety” Series Focuses on Gun Owners’ Responsibilities

NEWTOWN, Conn., and WASHINGTON, D.C. – The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®) and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) today unveiled a new video series, “Many Paths to Firearm Safety,” to help new and potential gun owners understand the responsibilities they have if they decide to keep a firearm in their home.

The series reflects that more Americans — especially women — are buying guns for many different reasons, ranging from personal protection to recreational shooting. The central message is that while there are many different reasons why someone would choose to buy a gun, the common thread among them must be a commitment to store firearms responsibly when not in use so they can’t be picked up by a child, stolen or accessed by someone who may want to harm themselves.

“Firearms accidents and thefts are almost always preventable, and the key to preventing them is safeguarding the access key itself. Protecting and securing the means for accessing locked firearms is critical to their safe storage,” said BJA Director Jon Adler. “We want to push that message as much as possible. These new videos emphasize the importance of securing firearms safely in the home. We want to ensure that personally owned firearms are only accessible by their law-abiding, legal owners, and not by unsupervised children, criminals or persons who might harm themselves. The key is the ‘key’ to keeping firearms safely in the hands of those responsible for them!”

The videos portray three different gun owners and their stories of ownership, along with the steps they took to make sure they will handle and store their firearms safely when not in use. The portrayals of “Whitney,” “David” and “Mateo” are meant to be relatable to the majority of gun owners, whether they grew up with firearms or they are considering buying their first gun.

“Gun ownership and personal responsibility are inseparable, as our mantra, ‘Own It? Respect It. Secure It®.’ reinforces,” said NSSF CEO Steve Sanetti. “We want to make sure all gun owners understand that, and know we have the resources they need to help them store their firearms responsibly when not in use. For anyone who can’t or won’t take that responsibility, we strongly urge them not to own a firearm.”

The new videos are viewable online on the Project ChildSafe website.

Funding for the videos comes from a $2.4 million grant BJA awarded NSSF’s Project ChildSafe initiative in 2015. Project ChildSafe provides firearms safety education messaging and free gun locks to communities throughout the country in an effort to help reduce firearms accidents, theft and misuse.

About Project ChildSafe®

NSSF, the trade association of the firearms industry, launched Project ChildSafe in 1999 (originally as Project HomeSafe). Since 1999, the program has provided more than 38 million free firearm safety kits and gun locks to firearm owners in all 50 states through partnerships with thousands of law enforcement agencies across the country. That’s in addition to the more than 70 million free locking devices manufacturers have included, and continue to include, with new firearms sold since 1998. While helping to prevent accidents among children is a focus, Project ChildSafe is intended to help adults practice greater firearm safety in the home. More information is available at projectchildsafe.org.

About NSSF

The National Shooting Sports Foundation is the trade association for the firearms industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearms retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.

VIRIDIAN® SHOWCASING LE CAMERA TECHNOLOGY AT TEXAS POLICE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION ANNUAL CONFERENCE

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – April 16, 2019 – Viridian Weapon Technologies is showcasing the FACT Duty™ Weapon-Mounted Camera (WMC™) at the 61st Annual Conference of the Texas Police Chiefs Association (TPCA). The convention is taking place at the Galveston Island Convention Center in Galveston, Texas, April 16-17, 2019. Attendees will have an opportunity to discuss and sign up for a no-cost FACT Duty WMCTesting & Evaluation program at booth #320 and can take advantage of an exclusive show special during the conference.
“A number of police departments in the state of Texas are in various stages of testing and implementing the FACT Duty WMC, and the TPCA conference is the perfect platform to discuss the technology with other agencies,” said Viridian President and CEO Brian Hedeen. “Our WMC provides a truly unobstructed perspective that did not exist before, and it’s our hope that the technology helps officers in Texas and all across the country feel better equipped for situations they may face while on duty.”
The highly advanced FACT Duty WMC employs a 1080p full-HD digital camera with a microphone and 500 lumen tactical light. This unique weapon-mounted camera provides a clear view of critical use-of-force events from the end of the firearm, addressing limitations officers can face with body cameras. Viridian’s proprietary
INSTANT-ON® technology automatically activates the camera and microphone whenever the officer draws the firearm from its holster. Not only does this eliminate risk of failure to manually turn on the camera during a critical event, but it also keeps the officer from fumbling with cumbersome equipment. Body and dash cameras were not designed to capture officer-involved shootings. However, Viridian WMCs were designed specifically for this purpose.
At this year’s TPCA conference, booth visitors who enroll in the free Testing &
Evaluation program will be eligible to receive a free
Tactical Backpack while supplies last. This show special is an exclusive token of appreciation for qualified T&E sign-ups during the TPCA conference.
More information on FACT Duty WMCs and other Viridian sighting solutions can be found
online.

Sneak Preview: Heckler & Koch VP9B

20190415_173023

Heckler & Koch’s VP9 is either loved or despised by shooters, I could not find middle ground between these extremes. Those who hate it fall under a category of shooters that I call “bring back the MK23 cult.” HK introduced the VP9 mid-year 2014, it was its second striker fired pistol; preceded by the P7, which was introduced in 1980 and HK’s first production run of a striker pistol.

We’ll be reviewing the VP9 during May and reduce our opinions and shooting impressions to writing for you. Stay tuned.

SFC Randy Shughart (left)MSG Gary Gordon (right)

MSG Gary Gordon

Gary Gordon was born in Lincoln, ME in the year 1960.  At the age of 18, he joined the United States Army. On October 3rd, 1993, while serving as Sniper Team Leader during the Battle of Mogadishu, MSG Gordon distinguished himself by actions far beyond the call of duty.

When a Black Hawk helicopter was shot down by enemy fire, and there were no ground forces nearby to secure the crash site, Master Sergeant Gary Gordon and Sergeant First Class Randy Shughart volunteered to be sent to the crash site to protect the four critically wounded men from oncoming Somali militants. Equipped with only a sniper rifle each and a pistol, these men fought their way to the injured men and valiantly protected them.

When SFC Shughart had been fatally wounded, and MSG Gordon’s rifle ammunition had been entirely depleted, MSG Gordon returned to the helicopter wreckage to recover a rifle with the last five rounds of ammunition.  Then, he selflessly handed the rifle to the injured pilot with the words “Good luck”, and he continued to defend using his pistol until he was fatally wounded.  The actions of these extraordinary men saved the pilot’s life.

MSG Gary Gordon and SFC Randy Shughart were each posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor on May 23rd, 1994 for their heroic service above and beyond the call of duty.

The Memorial

We are keeping the legacy of MSG Gary Gordon and his team alive by building a statue of Gary atop a pedestal.  The Memorial will include plaques, which will list the names and units of all the men who made the ultimate sacrifice during Operation Gothic Serpent in Somalia.  The Memorial will reside in Veteran’s Park in Gary’s hometown of Lincoln.

MDT Releases 6MM BR Metal Magazines

 

 

With the growing popularity of 6mm cartridges in precision rifle competitions, the 6mm BR and its variants have quickly become a go to choice for top competitors in both the PRS and the NRL. 6mm BR variants come in a few varieties including 6mm BRA, 6mm BRX and the most notorious, 6mm Dasher.

The limiting factor for competitors running 6mm BR variants has been feeding. Until now, the only option has been to purchase an AICS pattern magazine and also an additional kit to make the magazines work with the shorter cartridges. This solution costs upwards of $100 or more and can require additional tuning to work in most rifles.

MDT is proud to announce the addition of the 6mm BR AICS pattern magazine. Available in 12 round capacity, the new magazine is a one-step solution for feeding your 6mm BR variant rifle. With a maximum allowable internal length of 2.580″, the MDT 6mm BR mags will accommodate many different bullet seating depths. Manufactured from high quality steel and nitride treated for ultimate durability. It is finished with a coat of black Cerakote Elite Series paint inside and out for corrosion resistance and low friction. To reduce friction between cartridge and magazine body as much as possible we’ve also added two internal ribs which provide a smooth transition from double stack to single feed.

The MDT 6mm BR magazine Is the one step solution smooth, reliable feeding for the most popular rifle cartridges in precision rifle competitions.
Available online at MDTTAC.com or at your local dealer.

About MDT:

MDT produces chassis and accessories for bolt-action rifles used by precision rifle shooters around the world. MDT’s mandate is to promote and elevate the precision shooting experience by developing relevant, quality products that help people Shoot Better.

New Syntech Defense Loads Produce Top Terminal Performance

ANOKA, Minnesota – April 11, 2019 – From the No. 1 Brand in Handgun Ammunition, Federal is proud to introduce new Syntech Defense. These loads produce dynamic terminal performance with a hollow-point bullet that separates into three segments and a deep-penetrating core on impact. Shipments of Syntech Defense ammunition have been delivered to dealers.
The original Syntech changed the range forever. Now, the technology is also revolutionizing protection. The bullet in Syntech Defense has a core that penetrates 12 to 18 inches through bare ballistics gel and heavy clothing — a critical benchmark in self-defense situations and the best terminal performance of any round in its class. The segments create three secondary wound channels, each more than 6 inches deep, adding to the terminal effect.
Like all Syntech loads, an advanced polymer jacket eliminates lead and copper fouling and drastically reduces damaging heat and friction in the barrel. Its Federal exclusive Catalyst primer provides hot, extremely reliable ignition without the use of lead.
Features & Benefits
• Best terminal performance in its class
• Hollow-point bullet separates into three segments and a deep-penetrating core on impact
• Core achieves 12 to 18 inches of penetration in both bare ballistics gel and through heavy clothing
• Segments create three secondary wound channels more than 6 inches deep
• Blue polymer jacket reduces barrel heat and friction and eliminates metal fouling
• Extremely reliable Catalyst lead-free primer

The X1’s patent-pending Dual-Axis Door System is adjustable to accurately meter out the right amount of gas for ultimate muzzle control.  This enables the shooter to remain on target through the shot, witness impact, and more quickly deliver follow-up shots.  The X1 is the only adjustable muzzle brake that can be retuned finely and simply with sliding port doors.

Ultradyne X1

X1 includes the Ultradyne-exclusive shrouded timing nut along with a Dynamount collar for quick and easy mounting.

Asym Port

The X1’s proprietary asymmetric gas ports direct the blast path of expanding gasses more aggressively on the non-shooter side and less aggressively on the shooter side of the firearm.  This design helps keep the shooter’s support hand clear of expanding gasses when using a forward grip technique while optimizing recoil.   Taking into account additional considerations, the X1’s is made specifically for right or left-handed shooters.

The X1 tunable compensator is the best way to create perfect muzzle control for each possible combination of factors. 

Ultradyne X1 Actual

The X1 is compatible with Ultradyne’s Dynamount Barrel-Mounted Front Sight.  Simply replace the collar with the Dynamount Front Sight to add the best front sight on the planet to your set up.  This sight option takes advantage of the superior dual aperture system, eliminates sight deflection associated with hand guard mounting along with offering an increased sight radius.

NEW from Beretta, Kalashnikov & Knight’s Armament

 

This week Brownells new products guru Paul Levy packs a semi-custom triple threat that 3-gun shooters (and many others) will love. The Beretta 92 Elite Langdon LTT sports the M9A3 Vertec slide mated to the M9A1 frame, a popular combo with custom builders. With its thin VZ Grips, this nicely balanced pistol is way less chunky in the hand than a standard M9/M92. Add the Landon Tactical Treatment for a super-smooth action even in the double-action pull, and this is absolutely NOT your ordinary service pistol! From Kalashnikov USA, the KS-12 magazine-fed semi-auto 12 gauge shotgun is just what 3-gun competitors ordered. Its ADJUSTABLE gas system lets you “dial in” the load you’re using for reliable cycling, so you’ll say “Do svidaniya!” to all the competition. Finally, Paul has the Knight’s Armament SR-25 E2 Combat Carbine in FDE finish with an extended M-LOK® handguard, ambidextrous controls, a flash hider that’s plug-n-play ready for a Knight’s suppressor – and a lot more. Full-featured? Hot-rodded? Souped-up? All of the above. This rifle’s ready to race! Learn more: http://www.brownellsvideos.com

AmChar Wholesale to Distribute On Duty CBD

 

(Rochester, NY) – Amchar Wholesale, based in Rochester, NY has announced a new relationship agreement to distribute On Duty CBD products to the outdoor industry.
CBD from hemp extract is able to interact with receptors in our bodies, producing an incredible array of benefits, including pain relief, reducing inflammation, calming anxiety, alleviating stress, eliminating insomnia and more. It’s gentle enough to be part of a daily health regimen, while strong enough to keep our bodies in balance.
“On Duty is a veteran farmed and operated seed-to-bottle operation, delivering premium-quality, trusted CBD products to the outdoor industry,” says On Duty CEO, Greg Keeley, a retired U.S. Navy Commander. “Our team consists of farmers, PhD chemists, scientists, medical doctors and veterans. On Duty CBD is made “in house.” Farmers deliver raw materials to our Lexington facility. From there, our own scientists, chemists, and technicians test, produce, bottle, and ship On Duty CBD to the consumer. Supporting our military and first responders with American grown, veteran farmed CBD products is important to us. After all, no matter what you do, you are always on duty.”
On Duty’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Matt Dawson explains, “As a physician, I was in a difficult situation knowing the incredible medical benefits of CBD for chronic pain, PTSD, anxiety and sleep. Third party testing exposed product after product being tainted by chemicals and heavy metals. On Duty CBD has rigorous quality and testing protocols. I’ve visited their farms, labs, and met their chemists. I recommend On Duty CBD with 100% confidence.”
The benefits of CBD oil usage continues to impress and as popularity grows, Amchar wants to ensure a solid, well-margined platform that is specifically organized with the outdoor dealer in mind.
“We are constantly looking for unique and innovative products to bring to the industry,” says Tony Dichario, President of Amchar Wholesale. “On Duty fits that mold perfectly. We are excited to bring this breakthrough product to our dealer network, and it is our hope that this product helps individuals all over the United States.”

Hope you’ve all had a great week and that you are holding up well in spite of the crap coming out of Washington.

I’ve got to say that if you have it in you to run for office you should seriously consider it. Where else can you get a $250K a year package and do nothing.  Look at the Democrats, consumed by @POTUS tax returns. If you caught AG Barr’s testimony to Congress, you could hear a sucking sound when he shared his belief that there was spying against Trump’s campaign. Democrats are liable to plant a used condom on his car’s back seat to hose up his marriage.

Then we had Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez blurt out another tweet reinforcing my theory that she suffers from TBI, which I sincerely hope did not occur from excessive fellatio! It’s amazing folks, check this out…

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Press Release (parody) @AOCpress

It’s becoming painfully obvious that Robert Mueller and AG Barr are Russian spies just like Trump.

She actually wants her Twitter followers believe that Bob Mueller and Attorney General Barr are Russian spies!

Year to date, we have 17 Democrats running for President in 2020. They have all embraced socialism and Climate Apocalypse. Their sales pitch follows the same lines that you’ll hear from Fidel Castro in the mid to late 1950s. Watch the video – the translations are accurate.

260px-Fulgencio_BatistaIf it sounds familiar to you, keep in mind that there’s probably more Cubans at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico as there are in Miami.  They were all fleeing Castro’s failed socialist ideology, using tire inner tubes or anything that would float,  not Climate Change. And, pre Castro Cuba, in spite of a dictator named Fulgencio Batista, another piece of work, had a currency that was on par with the $USD.

If that’s not enough for you, Alexa is spying on your every word. The reason given by Amazon is to “learn” from you to then provide better services. Imagine that, a for profit company listening in on what you say at home so they can better serve you.

Try asking Alexa for the average size of the male genitalia. It will say 12 inches! That’s done to make your partner feel cheated and concurrently instill insecurity in you. Sound familiar? It’s right out of the Psych Ops manual. So I’ve proposed, on Twitter, that we designate May 15 as Speak Dirty to #Alexa Day (SDAD).

On that day go home and talk dirty to your Alexa. #speakdirtytoalexa

Have a great weekend guys! Give social media a break, especially for your kids, and have a family shoot the shit. Remember that to shoot the shit participants don’t need to know anything about the subject matter, they can make any unsupported statement, use uncensored profanity, insult anyone they wish or change the subject altogether.

Have a good one!

-SP

SPYDERCO’s ATONOMY 2

ATONOMY REVIEW

Spyderco developed the original ATONOMY to address the needs of US Coast Guard rescue swimmers. From its distinguished service, the company created its newest model, the ATONOMY 2. In keeping with Spyderco tradition, material selection, design, function and build quality are superb. The end result is one of the best EDC automatics on the market.

Why do you need an automatic folder? Because being able to deploy the bladed with one hand may very well save your life. You’re rappelling or rock climbing, you may need to cut a rope or cut yourself out of an entanglement. You’re a tree surgeon and need to get yourself out of a potential problem. Your off-road vehicle flips and your arm is pinned or incapacitated and you may need to cut yourself out of your seat belt or shoulder harness. I’ve identified just a few situations, there are many more.

There is a plethora of uses for an automatic knife. Yet, unfortunately, many jurisdictions still have archaic laws, which quite frankly are based on the stigma of those old Sal Minio gang movies. Fortunately,  an increasing number of states have recognized the need to rethink automatic knife laws, but just the same, when considering an automatic folder or OTF pocket knife be sure to follow all applicable laws. However, let’s not leave it at that,  be proactive, engage and interact with your elected officials, open their eyes and ask them to put and end to the automatic knife myth.

DoubleStar to Exhibit at the 2019 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits

Come see DoubleStar’s ARP7, Cloak Handguards, and its newest blade, the Ahab knife.

Winchester, Ky. (April 2019) – DoubleStar Corp, manufacturers of high-quality, US-made AR components, rifles, pistols, and blades, will be exhibiting at the 2019 National Rifle Association (NRA) Annual Meetings & Exhibits at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana, April 26 – 28, 2019 at Booth 3734. Known throughout the shooting community as the manufacturer of customer spec builds, high-quality rifles, 1911 style pistols, as well as a producer and distributor of innovative accessories and parts, DoubleStar will have on display its ARP7, Cloak Handguards and several blades, including its newest blade, the Ahab knife. NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits attendees will also get a first look at DoubleStar’s new line of G10 accessories and the new .308 pistol AR, which will both be debuting at the show.

Weighing in at 5.4 lbs., the ARP7 is the AR-15 pistol built to perfection. When you reach behind your truck seat for the ARP7, you are prepared for anything. The rock-solid billet Strongarm Pistol Brace and Big Timber Brake keep this beast under control when sending rounds downrange on target. The Cloak MLOK handguard allows for accessories to be mounted and profiled to fit the shooter’s hand beautifully. Finish this pistol with your favorite doc optic and it’s a force to be reckoned with on the range or protecting your family. It is available in .300 Blackout, 5.56 and 9mm with MSRP starting at $1,299.99.

When looking for the perfect MLOK handguard to wrap around your barrel, look no further than the Cloak MLOK from DoubleStar. Available in 7” or 15.5,” the slim, lightweight profile makes it comfortable for any shooter. The Cloak features two QD swivel pockets and MLOK slits on six sides, making it as versatile as you need. It was designed with two anti-rotation tabs to fit tightly with your MIL-SPEC receiver. Because it was designed to work with MIL-SPEC receivers, customers with billet receivers will need to be sure the anti-rotation tabs will clear their receiver. The Cloak will not work with Gas Piston AR-15 systems. MSRP for 7” handguard is $149.99; MSRP for 15.5” handguard is $199.99.

The Ahab Knife, made from 1084 Carbon Steel, is an everyday carry designed by Blade Division Director Rob “Filo” Cabrera to be discrete and compact without sacrificing relevance. Elements like the oversized ring and precision thumb break provide the best amount of retention for quick deployment. The Ahab’s strong, lightweight construction makes it the perfect duty belt utility that will be there when you need it most. An oversized ring allows for gloved deployment, while a swedged spine at the point provides for better penetration. The Ahab knife has precision jimping for proper thumb braking and screwed handle hardware for easy maintenance. Equipped with versatile eyelet locations, they provide adaptability to other attachment systems. It is PVD coated for a clean, sharp, durable finish. MSRP $84.99.

The NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits is a celebration of freedom featuring acres of exhibits, premier events, educational seminars and workshops, and fun-filled activities. This three-day event is attended by tens of thousands of patriots and features more than 15 acres of the most spectacular displays of firearms, shooting and hunting accessories in the world. In addition to the exhibit floor, NRA Members enjoy world-class entertainment, attend educational seminars and demonstrations, listen to leading pro-Second Amendment speakers, and much more.

The extensive use of rugged polymer construction contributes to a weight of approximately four pounds.

The Wildcat is also compatible with aftermarket 10/22®magazines.

Other notable features include a striking-looking composite stock that is comfortable for a wide range of shooters to shoulder. The close radius pistol grip enhances finger to trigger reach. A ghost ring rear sight and ramped front sight offer fast target acquisition and an integrated Picatinny optics rail allows for the attachment of optics. The integrated Picatinny rail allows a bipod, light or laser to be easily mounted. Sling mounts are built into the stock.

The Wildcat is available for a suggested retail of $249.99.

Features:

  • Easily removable lower receiver assembly
  • Upper receiver with integrated Picatinny optics rail
