Aero Precision has been venturing deeper and deeper into .30 caliber territory. They have now released their versions of all of the major components required to build an AR-10 rifle including the M5 upper and lower receivers, stainless and CMV barrels, and a new bolt carrier group. Hopefully, we can look forward to complete, .308 chambered Aero Precision rifles in the near future.
Battle Arms Development has rolled out the new weight saving titanium version of their Enhanced Pin Set! The new BAD-EPS-Ti are machined from grade 5 titanium, left with a natural finish and weight about half of what their steel counterparts weigh.
The BAD-EPS-Ti is now available on Revolvr.
Lancer’s new L7AWM 20rd Magazine for AR-10 style rifle that use SR25 pattern magazines is now available. Like previous Lancer magazines, the L7AWM uses both metal and polymer to create the body of the magazine. The top of the magazine, including the feed lips and magazine catch are made of steel while the lower portion is polymer to reduce weight. The L7AWM is available in a variety of colors including translucent.
If these are as good as Lancer’s L5AWM for the AR-15, it will be an excellent magazine and likely the one to beat for SR25 pattern mags. Check out the L7AWM at Lancer.
Two of the most innovative manufacturers of AR-15 parts and accessories have teamed up. V7 Weapon Systems is now offering V7 branded versions of the excellent ROSCH Works SLM-1 light mount and C7 Compensator.
I previously reviewed the SLM-1 and found it to be excellent. I haven’t reviewed the C7 but I do own one. It is one of my favorite muzzle devices for how much performance it offers for the price. It is fairly neutral, not as flashy as some, and it won’t break the bank.
Check out the new V7 branded versions of the ROSCH Works favorites.
Magpul just dropped two announcements that most shooters will be glad to hear.
First, their MOE SL line of stocks, grips, and hand guards are now shipping. From Magpul:
The Magpul MOE SL line is now shipping. Offering a fresh look and new concepts to compliment the classic MOE lineup, the SL Stock, Grip and Hand Guard features sleeker lines and an optimized feature set for modern employment methods.
Magpul also announced that they have reduced the price of all of their carbine stocks. The price reductions come as a benefit of streamlined production, not a reduction in quality.
For well over a decade, Magpul Industries has been bringing innovative design and efficient manufacturing into the firearms accessories market in many categories, not least of which is carbine stocks for the AR15/M16/M4 family of firearms. With the release of our new MOE SL Stock and the continuing expansion of our product line, Magpul also has some significant news to announce regarding our existing carbine stock lineup. With continued investment in our manufacturing infrastructure, our methods, economies of scale, and expanding capabilities have allowed us to be more efficient in the production of our stock line, while building the same high quality, made in America products that our customers have come to expect. To pass these savings on to our customers, and in preparation for the continued expansion of our line, we have reduced the MSRP pricing of all carbine stocks from the MOE to the ACS, with prices now starting as low as $29.95. The entire line of Magpul carbine stocks is available now through dealers and distributors, and at www.magpul.com.
