KE Arms and GWACS Armory Lightweight Collaboration Rifle

By on May 15, 2015 in Guns

KE Arms and GWACS Armory recently collaborated to help a student of The Suarez Group who has a physical limitation. The result was a sub 5 1/2 pound carbine with an MSRP that is less than $1000.

KE Arms GWACS Lightweight

The carbine features a GWACS Armory CAV-15 lower receiver with KE Arms lower parts kit. The KE Arms built upper receiver features a lightweight contour barrel, Young Manufacturing Lightweight BCG, and a KE Arms 12.5″ Delta-S Keymod Handguard. The total weight is just 5.6 pounds.

Hopefully, this or a similar package will be available as an off-the-shelf item in the near future.

By on May 14, 2015 in EDC, Survival

RE Factor Tactical is now offering two stainless steel, credit card sized survival cards. The first is their Hostage Escape Card which includes tools deigned to be used for escaping illegal restraint. I have been able to personally test the components of this and they are functional though a bit rough which is to be expected with these types of cards.

  • Quick Stick
  • Saw
  • Handcuff Shim
  • Rake
  • Tension Wrench
  • Carry sleeve

  • Small game arrow head
  • Trident (frog gigging)
  • Dual sided saw (fine and coarse tooth)

13.7″ Hanson Profile Barrels from Ballistic Advantage and Weapon Outfitters

By on May 14, 2015 in Guns

Weapon Outfitters is known as the destination for 13.7″ AR-15 barrels. Their latest 13.7″ offering is a Ballistic Advantage Performance Series barrel that has the Hanson Profile and a pinned gas block. These barrels are a solid value at $220 when you consider the specs and the pinned low-profile gas block.

These barrels are only available at Weapon Outfitters and are being offered for pre-order since the initial batch sold out so quickly. The upcoming batch is already en route so the wait won’t last long (neither will the barrels). You may also want to check out Weapon Outfitters’ reasonable muzzle device pinning services to bring this barrel to a legal 16″. Check out the new barrels at Weapon Outfitters.

BCM to Produce Rifles in 300BLK

By on May 13, 2015 in Guns

BCM announced that they will be producing AR-15s chambered in .300 AAC Blackout. There hasn’t been much news surrounding the 300BLK for some time now though it is still quite popular. This has the potential to really bolster the cartridge’s position as the most widely supported alternative caliber for AR-15s.
