Innovative Arms Sight Upgrade for LCP, TCP, and P3AT

By on June 11, 2015 in Guns

Most of the super small, .380 ACP chambered pocket pistols on the market share the same problem: Their sights are barely useable. Innovative Arms can solve that problem with their Sight Upgrade.

The upgrade includes machining dovetails in the slide, the sights themselves, installation, and parkerization for $150. That seems like a deal to me considering that I have spent that much for a set of sights I had to install myself. The sights that Innovative Arms uses include a tritium front sight and a plain black rear sights that has serrations on its leading edge to aid in one hand manipulations.

They can also refinish with various colors of moly resin for and additional fee. Check out the Innovative Arms Sight Upgrade.

ATAT Development Group

Vince Buckles, previously of Red Jacket Firearms and currently with Mesa Kinetic Research, has launched a training company called ATAT Development Group. Given Vince’s background with the AK family of carbines it should come as no surprise that AKs are more than welcome in his courses. His vision was to start ATAT so that AK and AR shooters could receive training side by side without one group feeling like they were slowing the other down. He and co-instructor Greg Carlson are able to give parallel instruction during their courses on both popular carbines, addressing not only the universal fundamentals of shooting but also the intricacies inherent with shooter’s choice of carbine.

ATAT Development Group operates out of a large facility in southern Louisiana. They offer a variety of courses included general carbine courses, AK specific courses, and others which are in development. For more information about courses, visit the ATAT Development Group Facebook page.

Thordsen Customs Featureless 3 Gun Rifles

By on June 8, 2015 in Guns

Thordsen Customs is making two purpose-built 3 gun competition rifles to show off their soon to be released billet lower receiver and FRS-15 – a featureless rifle stock that can help AR-15 owners work within the assault weapons bans that some of the less free jurisdictions still have in place. While the purpose of these rifles may just be to serve as a showcase for Thordsen Customs products, I absolutely love how this shines a massive spotlight on how ludicrous it is to ban what amounts to cosmetic features.

Think about this for a moment… The anti-Constitution authors of these bans are trying to somehow handicap the use of rifles like AR-15s. Yet, these rifles which meet their regulations are built from the ground up for competition that by its very nature places a premium of delivering fast and accurate hits. It shows just how ineffectual assault weapon ban legislation is.

It warms my heart to know that people in these ban states may still be able to get their hands on effective self defense tools thanks to companies like Thordsen Customs.

By on June 8, 2015 in Guns

Aero Precision has released the details of their first Limited Edition M5 components to benefit AmericanSnipers.org. They are offering upper/lower receiver sets, upper/lower receiver and hand guard sets, and a complete limited edition rifle with all proceeds going to AmericanSnipers.org.

The lower receiver in all these options features a very, very cool custom touch. One side of the lower shows AmericanSniper.org’s well known head shot skull logo. The bullet hole is actually a milled hole and the opposite side of the receiver shows the rear of the skull with a matching bullet hole as if the bullet has passed through. The upper receiver also has the skull logo engraved on the tang (the flat part of the rail above the charging handle).

These are going to be produced in limited quantities so act fast. Find out more at Aero Precision.

All Performance Series barrels feature QPQ finish, FailZero coated barrel extension, and M4 feedramps. The barrel in question has a 1 in 7″ twist and a DMR profile meaning it is nearly straight under the hand guards.
