Latest on the BAD/Brentwood Gunsmithing OIP Carbine – a Sub 4 Pound AR-15
If you are a fan of lightweight AR-15 carbines, you likely remember the joint project between Battle Arms Development and Brentwood Gunsmithing called the OIP Carbine or Ounces is Pounds Carbine. Battle Arms Development released an image of one of the receiver sets with a very cool natural anodized finish. This is the best look at what it takes to make a sub-4 lb. AR-15 yet.
You can see that extra material has been aggressively milled away and even skeletonized in some places. The top rail has been shortened to allow just enough space for an Aimpoint Micro. The stock is a minimalist nub of aluminum. Every part was scrutinized and I suppose that is what it takes to make a carbine that is a full 2 pounds lighter than what most consider ultralight when it comes to AR-15s.
Cap Plugs for Your SB47
Echo Nine Three recently posted this image which shows a 1″ cap plug being used to close the end of an SB47 AK Pistol Brace. If you shop around, it appears that there are a number of similar products designed to close the ends of metal tubing that would work as long as their diameter is 1″.
Faxon Firearms Adds New Caliber
The ARAK-21 Upper Receiver from Faxon Firearms is currently available in 2 calibers: 5.56 and .300BLK. However, a new caliber is about to join the stable.
Faxon has been teasing the new caliber on their Facebook Page and it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to figure out that it is 7.62×39. It seem fitting that an AR upper that draws so much inspiration from the AK-47 would be offered with a 7.62×39 chambering!
