Copper Custom Armament

You are no doubt familiar with the Military Arms Channel (MAC) YouTube channel. Tim, MAC’s on screen talent, is now a partner in a new guns store called Copper Custom Armament (CCA).

CCA has a little more going on behind the scenes than your typical gun store. For instance, they are now one of two exclusive distributors for Krebs Custom AKs. They are also offering exclusive custom firearms that are made to their own specs like their Copper Custom Glocks which feature NP3 coating inside and out, an undercut trigger guard, a Vickers Tactical Glock Slide Release, and Ameriglo Tritium Spartan Tactical sights.

Check out Copper Custom on their website and Facebook page.

ROSCH Works TM1 and SLM1 In Stock

The two newest items from ROSCH Works, the TM1 and the SLM1, are now available to be purchased from their site.

The TM1 is a light mount that clamps to a shotgun magazine tube or, with the addition of optional shims, to an AR-15 barrel. It uses just one screw to mount to the barrel and retain the light. The TM1 is designed to work with 1″ tube diameter lights like the Surefire Fury.

The SLM1 is a light mount with integrated front sight. It is also designed to accept 1″ diameter lights like the Surefire Fury. This is a concept that AR-15 shooters have been waiting for since the advent of rails that extend over a low-profile gas block. I am working on a review of the SLM1 and, spoiler alert,  it is excellent. You can read some of my initial thoughts in an earlier post. ROSCH Works is already working on a version for the Surefire E-Series lights.

SIONICS 11.5″ Barrels

I have already written about what a great value SIONICS Weapon Systems barrels are. Now they are introducing a new 11.5″ barrel and I have no doubt it will be excellent.

The new 11.5″ barrels will be made from 4150 CMV Steel with a proper 5.56 chamber. The barrel extension has M4 feed ramps. Unlike their current 16″ barrel which has a 1 in 8″ twist rate, this new 11.5″ barrel will have a 1 in 7″ twist. It goes through all the same quality checks that you have come to expect from SIONICS including individual X-ray and MP testing. These barrels weigh in at 1 lb, 6 oz.

They will be offered with your choice of chrome lining or Melonite processing and your choice of gas block options including a fixed FSB, low profile gas block, and no gas block. The stripped barrels will start at $189.95.

They are already in hand at SIONICS and will be available on their site next week.

Stay tuned for details on their upcoming lightweight profile (pencil) barrel in the coming days!

Geissele Automatics Enhanced Triggers – Brownells Exclusive

This is the type of news that I like to see heading into a weekend! Brownells now has 2 exclusive Geissele Automatics AR-15 triggers at a great price – the Geissele 2 Stage Enhanced (B-G2S-E) and the Geissele Rapid Fire (B-GRF).

The B-G2S-E is basically an enhanced version of the G2S. It is to the G2S as the SSA-E is to the SSA. You can expect a pull weight of around 3.5 pounds total with about 2.5 pounds in the first stage and 1 pound on the second stage. It will also have the more refined, so-called candy cane break that the Geissele enhanced triggers are known for.

The B-GRF is basically the S3G version of the G2S. It features a smooth, rolling break that has proven to be VERY, VERY fast. In fact, many shooters find the S3G and SD3G to be faster than a certain faux-auto trigger that is fairly new to the market. It comes with 2 trigger springs so that you can tune it to a 3.5 pound or 4.5 pound pull weight.

A word on the G2S triggers for those who may not know: These are lower cost options that Geissele offers. The are able to remove cost via three methods. First, the hammer pin is retained differently than other triggers (it uses a small clip). Second, these are spot checked with MP testing rather than individually tested. Finally, they are not laser marked like other Geissele triggers. The sear engagement surfaces are still precisely cut via the wire EDM method and they still use the same tool steel for which Geissele is known.

If these new triggers are anything like the G2S, they will be bull strong, reliable, and a great value. Check out the new Geissele Automatics Enhanced Triggers exclusively at Brownells.
