Troy Sellars Joins Destructive Devices Industries

Troy Sellars is the man behind In Range and an AK builder extraordinaire. I own two AKs that have both passed through his hands and they are excellent. He is an authority on what it takes to build an AK right and he has been building them that way longer than most. People who know AKs, know Troy. That is why I was excited to hear from the MrGunsnGear Facebook page that he has joined very promising, new AK producer Destructive Devices Industries (DDI).

It certainly bodes well for a new company who is trying to show sustained and consistent quality to add a resource who is well known because of his sustained and consistent quality. The future is bright for DDI and the American AK scene.

Prototype Drop Leg Holster at T.REX ARMS

T.REX ARMS has been developing a new drop leg holster for the last several months. It is noteworthy in that, in a way, it is like this holster has come full circle and gone back to the roots of the drop leg holster concept. It’s as if T.REX ARMS has rediscovered a lost black magic of making good drop leg holsters.

TREX Drop Leg with retention

The design harkens back to the early drop leg holsters. They were only low enough to clear body armor – not so low that they lengthened the draw stroke significantly or caused the holster swing excessively during movement. They were trimmer and lighter, lacking the large leg shrouds often found on today’s holsters. These were holsters like the venerable Safariland 3000 series with compact designs that rode close to the body and had single leg straps for simplicity.

TREX Drop Leg on belt

The upcoming, as of yet unnamed, holster from T.REX ARMS captures many of these same qualities. It rides high thanks to the use of the excellent and proven Safariland UBL belt attachment. The use of the UBL may also open up a host of other Safariland compatible mounting options. The single leg strap is attached via swivel mechanism that T.REX ARMS is keeping under wraps for now. It allows the holster to move with the user as evidenced by the picture below. The holster body itself is relatively streamlined, lacking a shroud or anything else that would add bulk.

I haven’t put hands on these holsters yet but I have been following its development from a distance. Sometimes the next big thing comes from looking back.

Limited Production 18″ AR-15 Barrels and Uppers from Sionics

Sionics Weapon Systems has released their SPR barrels for purchase separately or assembled in limited production upper receiver groups. These are the same barrels that they designed for the Matt Axelson tribute rifle project that Sionics was a part of and it shoots very well by all accounts.

154-337-thickbox

These 416R stainless barrels are 18″ in length. They have a 1 in 8″ twist, .223 Wylde chamber, rifle length gas system, and M4 barrel extension. The profile is a slightly heavy, SPR type profile. The barrel ships with a gas block and is dimpled to make installation easy.

Sionics is offering three uppers featuring this barrel. The main difference between them is the hand guard. There are two Geissele SMR options and a 15″ Samson Evo option. Each upper includes their excellent NP3 coated bolt carrier group. Considering that these uppers feature a great barrel and come with a bolt carrier group, it is hard to beat their pricing.

If you have been shopping for a precision AR-15 upper, act fast.
