SIONICS Weapon Systems Partners with Foward Controls Design for Upgrade Package

SIONICS Weapon Systems is partnering with Forward Controls Designs (FCD) to offer a very slick upgrade package on SIONICS rifles. The upgrade package will cost $75 and it will include the FCD Enhanced Magazine Release (EMR), Low Drag Forward Assist (LDFA), and Augmented Bolt Catch/Release (ABC/R). That price is a significant savings over purchasing the parts separately.

I have experience with all these parts. The EMR offers a slight extension and an improved shape over the standard magazine release button all without being prone to accidental magazine release like large extended buttons. The LDFA is lighter than the original part which is nice but it is mostly designed to provide more clearance for southpaws with ambidextrous charging handles.

The ABC/R is a gem. I have tried oversize bolt releases before and they can often lead to problems with bolt lock back (either early or not at all). FCD thoughtfully milled away excess material where it wasn’t critical so that the additional weight of the over size pad on the ABC/R wouldn’t adversely effect function. They also added subtle angles that make it easier to operate the bolt release. It is just a very smart design.

This upgrade package will be available soon.

Axe Rifle Raffle

You may remember the “AXE” Special Purpose Rifle that Sionics Weapons Systems was able to help build as a tribute to fallen Navy SEAL Matt “Axe” Axelson. The AXE was a very limited edition rifle (only 99 made), available only through Axelson Tactical. If you want to get your hands on one and help out the Special Operations Wounded Warriors charity, check out the 2016 Axelson Tactical Rifle Raffle that is being put on with the help of Brownells and others.

Sionics Weapon Systems shared some pictures of the first AXE SPR rifle as it moved through the hand building process.

Available for Pre-Order: Sionics Weapon Systems 11.5″ Reduced Gas Port Barrels

They’re almost here! We first mentioned the Reduced Gas Port barrels that Sionics has been testing back in July of last year. These are barrels that have been designed to operate with a smaller gas port than Sionics’ other barrels with the intention of being used on suppressed AR-15s. The smaller gas port diameter helps deal with the increased back pressure created by a suppressor which results in less muzzle rise, less recoil, less wear and tear, and less gas in the shooter’s face.

SIONICS has released additional details on the carbines that they will be providing to the City of Atlanta Police Department.

The rifles feature several standard options offered by SIONICS to any of their customers like Centurion Arms C4 Rails, B5 SOPMOD Bravo Stocks, the SIONICS Enhanced Trigger, and their NP3 BCG.
