Patriot Cases AR Pistol Foam Insert

Patriot Cases is known for their gun cases with custom cut foam inserts. Amazingly, they offer cases with custom foam for as little as $69 and that $69 case is about to get just a bit more interesting for AR pistol owners with the introduction of their AR pistol pre-cut foam.

The foam is cut to accommodate an AR Pistol with the SB-15 Brace installed and has cutouts that can be installed or removed to accommodate the configuration of your AR pistol. It also has room for 2 magazines and other accessories. The entire setup rides in a lockable, hard plastic case.

These AR pistol inserts will be available sometime in the next 2 weeks. Check out Patriot Cases.

Strike Industries Venom Flash Hider

Strike Industries claims that their new Venom Flash Hider is among the most effective on the market and they have released video that appears to show favorable performance compared to one of the best known flash suppressors available. The Venom has a 4 prong design that is less than tame. It is long enough to bring a 14.5″ barrel to a non-NFA 16″ of length when permanently attached and has a pre-drilled hole for pinning.

EXOS Defense AR Pistol Buffer Tube

EXOS Defense has released their take on the AR pistol buffer tube. Their buffer tube is designed to accept the SB-15 Brace and has a stand-off collar to increase the “length of pull”. It also features a sling swivel socket in the rear of the tube. The tube is 9.125″ long and weighs 7.2 oz. It is secured to the lower receiver via a standard end plate and castle nut.

EXOS Defense machines these from 2011 T3 Aircraft Aluminum which they say is significantly stronger than the 6061-T6 aluminum used for most pistol buffer tubes (20% Higher in Tensile Strength and 30% Higher Elongation than Standard 6061 T6). The tubes are hard anodized with a dull black matte finish.

These will be available at EXOS Defense soon.

Graphite Dynamics GD-7 Carbon Fiber Pistol Buffer Tube

I recently came across a company called Graphite Dynamics who are churning out some interesting AR-15 accessories made from carbon fiber including a pistol buffer tube. Their GD-7 Carbon Fiber Pistol Buffer Tube weighs just 130 grams (4.6 ounces). Gear Dynamics claims it is stronger than steel, lighter than aluminum, and quieter too. With it’s 1.30″ outside diameter, it should be compatible with the SB-15 Brace.

It does not use a standard end plate and castle nut. It threads into the receiver without the use of a castle nut.
