Griffin Armament – Revolution MOD3 Silencer Series

Griffin Armament dishes details on their versatile new pistol cans

Griffin Armaments’ Revolution Silencer Series brings new to market features and versatility in the pistol silencer class.  The Mod 3 Revolution Series silencers are now rated for 7.62×39, 300 BLK supersonic, and 5.56mm for hunting applications.

“We saw the market trending In our direction on our modular silencer concept and we thought it was time to kick it up a notch and get back on top of the dog pile. So we decided to re-engineer the product and improve it with a lot of versatility and some high pressure caliber application.” -Austin, Lead engineer and primary owner of Griffin stated. He continued, “With the HPA losing steam, and silencers continuing to have a tax stamp associated, we wanted to give the customers more usability in the product. Ultimately it would be great if the HPA were to pass in some form, but it doesn’t like it will anytime soon.  I think consumers are going to be putting their money into versatile products and we are happy to provide those for them.”

The Mod 3 Revolution Series silencers also now support the Griffin Taper Mount Muzzle Devices for hunting application.

In closing, Austin stated,

“I feel these silencers are great for people who want to buy something fun like a pistol silencer but who might want it to do double duty with centerfire and rimfire hunting applications.  There’s more to shooting than staying on the range and dumping magazines and these products cater to the practical outdoorsman just as much as the recreational shooter.  More states are hunting legal than ever before and it’s a great time to protect your hearing while enjoying one of America’s oldest traditions.”

Buyer Beware: Counterfeit KDG Sidelok Mounts

If you are in the market for a Sidelok Mount from Kinetic Development Group (KDG), be careful. Counterfeits are starting to show up. KDG produced an image that shows some ways you might be able to spot one of these fakes.

In addition to the tells that are shown in the image, you can also see that the counterfeit does not include several machining steps like chamfers and tapers that are important to the structure and function of the mount. These things are easy to spot when you have the real and fake mounts side by side but more difficult to spot when you don’t have the benefit of a comparison picture.

The best way to insulate yourself from this kind of fraud is to only purchase your mounts from authorized dealers. If you are buying a used mount, insist on some pictures of the problem areas outlined in the image above.

Gunstruction User’s Choice Build – April 2017

History has been made! If you follow Gunstruction’s User’s Choice Builds, you know that there has been one common thread across every single one… Not anymore!

The Gunstruction User’s Choice Build for April features an optic that isn’t an EOTech for the first time. Gunstruction users selected the Atibal AT-AGB Gen II for their virtual builds more than any other optic in April. EOTech may have finally been dethroned (at least temporarily) but Magpul continues its strangle hold on the User’s Choice grip and stock.

You can follow these User’s Choice Builds at the Gunstruction Facebook Page. They compile the most selected options from their virtual AR-15, AR308, and R700 building tools into a single build. It can be an interesting look into trends.

SIONICS Service Department

It’s no secret that SIONICS Weapon Systems supplies multiple departments around the country with their carbines. There are several reasons for that including the quality of the AR-15s that they produce but one of the things that rely sets them apart is the quality of their support after they make the sale. They have some extremely knowledgeable armorer staff that is able to support their carbines long after the ink on the contract is signed.

Now they are opening up their armorer service to extend beyond just their own carbines and beyond just the departments that they provide carbines to.

Due to overwhelming demand, we are pleased to announce the creation of the SIONICS Service Department. Whether you or your LE Agency needs help dimpling a barrel, rebuilding your AR-15, fixing your AR-15 that doesn’t work or having us build a custom AR-15 for you, we are happy to help. Services are available for any branded Direct Impingement AR-15 and start at $35. Please e-mail us sales@sionicsweaponsystems.com or call us at 520-396-3460 for more details.
