Forward Controls Design 6315 Flash Suppressor / Compensator

Forward Controls Design (FCD) likes the A2 flash suppressor as much as I do. Their new 6315 Flash Suppressor/Compensator is basically an love poem written in steel to the venerable old workhorse.

The 6315 is FCD’s idea of an improved A2 Flash Suppressor. It is machined from bar stock and nitride finished. They reshaped the ports slightly so the the 6315 is just as good of a flash suppressor than the A2 but offers more muzzle rise compensation. The redesigned ports left room for a new feature that some people are sure to giggle about – a fact that FCD is fully aware of…

Since we now have more room in front of the 3 and 9 o’clock ports, we incorporated wire cutter alignment notches ahead of these ports.  The wire cutter notches will probably earn us some flak and endless ribbing about having to cut wires at the range while punching holes on paper, but we always design combat features into our products, they’re there, you don’t have to use them 🙂

Throughout all of these changes, FCD maintained the same dimensions of the original A2 so the 6315 is fully compatible with BFAs and A2 mountable suppressors. You can check out the 6315 Flash Suppressor/Compensator at ForwardControlsDesign.com

KE Arms Releases SLT-1 Sear Link Technology Trigger

KE Arms has licensed the manufacturing and distribution rights for the patent pending Sear Link Technology trigger system from M&M Manufacturing.  All components are made and assembled in the USA.

The SLT-1 has been tested thoroughly before release with tens of thousands of rounds in traditional 5.56 AR platforms, .308 AR platforms, 9mm AR pattern blow back carbines, and the SIG MPX

TRIGGER FEATURES

  • 4.5 POUND TRIGGER PULL
  • MINIMAL TAKEUP AND OVERTRAVEL
  • ULTRA-CRISP BREAK
  • DRASTICALLY REDUCED SPLIT TIMES
  • SIMPLE DROP IN INSTALLATION

EFFICIENT ENERGY TRANSFER

– There is no disconnector for the hammer to drive through, thus creating a more efficient cycle of the bolt simply pushing the hammer out of the way as the gun fires.

– Forces of the bolt on the hammer are not transmitted into any other components of the trigger assembly.

– Constant sear engagement against the hammer means the trigger is always ready to reset and fire

IMPROVED RELIABILITY

Moving parts are sealed in the underside of the housing making it less susceptible to fouling and debris.

IMPROVED LONGEVITY

No impact on moving internal parts increases longevity of the trigger system.

INSTALLATION 
The SLT-1 Drops into mil-spec fire control pockets and is retained with standard fire control pins captured by springs inside the housing bushings.

IMPROVED SAFETY

Due to the unique geometry of the trigger, the safety can always be applied regardless of the hammer being down or cocked. When used appropriately this adds another level of safety to administrative handling and clearing of malfunctions.

Ambi Selector Included for a Limited Time
For a limited time KE Arms Ambi-Selectors will be included with all orders direct from KE Arms. If you purchase an SLT-1 from an authorized retailer during this time, you will receive a voucher for a free ambi-selector in the package.
