Aero Precision AC-15 Mid-Length OEM

By on November 18, 2015 in Guns

Aero Precision’s AC-15 is one of the most attractive entry level AR-15s on the market thanks to it’s use of all standard parts, correct twist rate, and quality barrel. Those same features make it attractive as a base for customization. Brownell’s is now offering a special version of the AC-15 that may be even more attractive as a starting point for customization.

The new AC-15 Mid-Length OEM is very much like the original AC-15 except it boasts a mid-length gas system. It also comes with an installed low-profile gas block, bare USGI barrel nut, and bare receiver extension. This allows the user to easily add any stock and free float hand guard that they wish. The price also reflects the lack of stock and hand guard which makes this rifle an even better value.

You can also save $25 when you use the code “L5B” at checkout. See the AC-15 Mid-Length at Brownells.

Dueck Defense DFR Glock Rear Sight

By on November 16, 2015 in Guns

The Dueck Fixed Fear (DFR) is the latest product to be released by Dueck Defense. This Glock compatible rear sight features a rear sight notch that is 20% deeper than typical sights which Dueck Defense claims gives “your eye a longer window of light but still narrow enough for precise aiming.”

The DFR also has a clever hooked design that makes it easier to operate with one hand by hooking the sight on your belt or holster. There are other hooked sights on the market but Dueck Defense has gone to great lengths to completely remove the sharp edges that would typically be found on such sights.

The DFR is available separately or bundled with various front sight options. Check out DueckDefense.com.

Vickers Guide: 1911

By on November 13, 2015 in Guns

To say that Larry Vickers knows 1911s is an understatement. He knows their history, their mechanics, their operation, their application, the people who make them, and the people who collect them. There may not be anyone living who can speak with more authority on the 1911 and that is what makes his newest book, Vickers Guide: 1911, so exciting.

This is a proper coffee table book. It is chocked full of a amazing photography, technical data, and historical context for some truly rare 1911s. All of this is wrapped up in a package that conveys the permanence, status, and weight of the 1911 itself.

If you are even the least bit interesting in 1911s, you need to check out this book at VickersGuide.com.

Volquartsen M&P 15-22 Exact Edge Extractor

By on November 12, 2015 in Guns

I have had very good results with Volquartsen’s Exact Edge Extractors, especially in rimfire rifles. Now they are making a new version for the popular S&W M&P 15-22.

The Exact Edge Extractors are EDM cut from A2 tool steel. They are hardened. Volquartsen optimizes the geometry to improve extraction and I have been able to use these to improve extraction other finicky rimfire rifles.
