Jerking the Trigger

ATAT Development Group

By Matt on June 9, 2015 in Guns, Tactics and Training

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 Matt 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.

AmericanSnipers.org Limited Edition M5 from Aero Precision

By Matt 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.

Ballistic Advantage Barrel of the Week: 20″ Performance Series DMR

By Matt on June 8, 2015 in Guns

The latest Ballistic Advantage Barrel of the Week deal has me dreaming of a DMR build. This week’s deal is a 20″ barrel from BA’s Performance Series which is their premium 4150 steel line. 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.

Check out the barrel of the week at Ballistic Advantage.

New from KDG: MREX – AR MLOK Modular (AR) Rail and Kinect QD MLOK Mounts

By Matt on June 8, 2015 in Guns

Kinetic Development Group has announced their first accessories for a rifle other than the FN SCAR. Their new AR MLOK 11.63″ Modular (AR) Rail will be available to mount on your AR-15 some time this month or possibly next month. This MLOK compatible rail weighs 8.5 ounces and has 2 integrated QD sling swivel sockets. The rail has MLOK compatible slots at 2, 3, 6, 9, and 10 o’clock.

The line of Kinect QD MLOK Mounts that KDG has announced to support their new rail may be even more interesting than the rail itself. The Kinect line is MLOK compatible and features a unique auto locking mechanism that allows tool free mounting. Kinect mounts features 2 spring loaded wedges that are automatically triggered when the mount is pushed into the mounting slot. This secures the mount and all but completely removes the possibility for human error (over tightening, improper engagement, etc). The announced line includes various lengths of 1913 rail, an offset rail, a bipod mount, a Surefire Scout compatible light mount, and a very slick offset Aimpoint Micro mount.
