Sneak Peek: Battle Arms Development Enhanced Lower Parts Kit

By on July 20, 2017 in Guns

Battle Arms Development (BAD) is working on an extremely interesting lower parts kit that is full of never before seen features and they’ve given us a sneak peak of the prototypes (the production items may change)…

As you can see from even just the first image, this isn’t just another parts kit. The parts have been designed for function, lightweight, and good looks. The bolt catch is a one piece designed that features a groove running the length of it much like a lightening fuller on a knife.

The safety is a departure from their well known BAD-ASS ambi safety selectors. It is a one piece, single side design that features the same recognizable and functional lever shape as the BAD-ASS. The prototypes shown features a right hand, 90 degree throw but other short throw or left hand variants may be available in the future if the demand supports them.

The heat treated steel bolt catch features grooved surfaces and a skeletonized design. BAD has designed it with larger contact surfaces so that it is easier to release the bolt and lock it back.

Stay tuned for more details and keep an eye on BattleArmsDevelopment.com.

Now Shipping: PMAG 30 AR 300 B GEN M3 for .300 Blackout

By on July 18, 2017 in Guns

Magpul is now shipping the PMAG 30 AR 300 B Gen M3 for .300 Blackout. You may be wondering why such a magazine even needs to exist but Magpul already read your mind…

Why a Dedicated 300 BLK Mag?

While some .300 Blackout® ammo runs consistently in 5.56 magazines for some users, others have found it to be problematic. At the request of some demanding professional users, we have designed an ultra-reliable magazine dedicated to handling the challenges of various 300 BLK ammunition types.

Optimizes Round Stack

300 BLK rounds come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and some don’t interface correctly with the contact areas in a 5.56 mag. This can ultimately cause stoppages. By designing a PMAG specifically for .300 Blackout, we were able to optimize the round stack for the increasing variety of 300 BLK projectiles.

Minimizes Side Pressure and Friction

Dust or suppressor fouling magnify the problem—especially with certain subsonic rounds. This creates side pressure within the mag, adding friction and slowing the stack movement upwards. This is a geometry issue that our PMAG 30 AR 300 B is engineered to solve.

Avoids Caliber Misidentification

The dedicated PMAG for 300 BLK includes tactile and visual cues that differentiate it from 5.56 PMAGs for those who need to switch types of ammunition rapidly. This helps to avoid dangerous misidentifications and cross loading.

Maintains PMAG Reliability

Like all PMAGs, the PMAG 30 AR 300 B GEN M3 magazine features a long-life USGI-spec stainless steel spring, four-way anti-tilt follower and constant-curve internal geometry for reliable feeding.
