New 13.7″ AR15 Barrel Option from Weapon Outfitters

By on March 26, 2015 in Guns

Apparently Weapon Outfitters will not rest until I build an AR-15 with a 13.7″ barrel. As if it wasn’t already hard enough to resist the siren song of a short, light, and handy barrel that has basically no flash when coupled with a permanently attached BE Meyers 249F flash suppressor, now they have released one of their most affordable 13.7″ barrel options yet.

These are Faxon Firearms barrels (which I have had very good luck with in limited testing) that have been cut and threaded by Parallax Tactical. They have a midlength gas system, 5.56 chamber, 1 in 8″ twist, and government profile. The barrels are machined from 4150 steel and Melonite QPQ finished inside and out.

At just over $200, they look like a great place to start a build. Check out the new 13.7″ barrels at Weapon Outfitters.

Aero Precision AR-15 Lower Gen. 2

By on March 25, 2015 in Guns

Aero Precision’s stripped lowers are already my go to lower for AR-15 builds because they are a great value. The introduction of their generation 2 stripped lowers brings with it two new features that may make them an even better value.

The AR15 Stripped Lower Receiver, Gen 2 offers a tension screw hole that is used to tighten the fit between the upper and lower receiver. It also offers a more flared magazine well. The magwell flare is a great improvement over most forged lowers. I know of very few forged lowers that are flared to this extent, especially at this price.

Other than the two new features, they have everything else I like about the Aero Precision lowers like pictogram selector markings, no outlandish rollmarks, and 7075 aluminum construction with hard anodized finish. They haven’t reinvented the wheel and that is a good thing because these lowers still retail well under $100.

Samson Range Box

I like plastic on a practical level but sometimes it is hard to beat things that are made from honest to goodness wood and steel. The new, limited edition Samson Range Box is constructed with pine and stainless steel right here in the USA. It is a throwback to a time before you can buy a plastic tackle box repackaged as a range box at your local big box.

The box features a large main compartment with a pull out organization tray that keeps your gear organized and lets you carry smaller items without having to carry the entire box. It also has rifle support ears that stow in the lid when they aren’t needed and can be used to turn the box into a portable workbench.

The Samson Range Box is available in Samson Gray and Bourbon Barrel Brown. Check it out at Samson.
