Aero Precision’s new Adjustable Gas Block is now available. The biggest news here is that this gas block is click-adjustable at an extremely competitive price ($64.99). It is made from 4140 steel with a black nitride coating and attaches to the barrel 10-32 x 3/16 knurled set screws. It is currently only available for .750″ barrels but there are plans for .625, .875 and .936 soon.
Aero Precision is working on a new AR-15 lower receiver – likely their Gen 2 Lower to go with their Gen 2 Uppers. These lowers obviously have some pretty slick aesthetics with the angular surfaces, the stylized fence around the magazine release, and what appears to be an integral skeletonized trigger guard. However, the real story here is that magazine well. Just look at it!
Aero Precision and Grey Ghost Precision will team up to produce and distribute aftermarket slides for the Glock 17 and 19. They will be available as complete, ready to shoot slides or stripped so you can add your own small parts. These are expected to launch in June but that time frame is not set in stone. The slides will be distributed via Aero Precision so they should be available through any of their dealers.
Aero Precision is offering a very attractive deal on a complete upper receiver. $360 buys a complete upper with charging handle, hand guards, and BCG today only. Check it out at AeroPrecision.com.
Ballistic Advantage just dropped a teaser image on their Facebook page (image below). It shows an AR-15 upper receiver with Ballistic Advantage branding and it includes a bolt carrier group and charging handle. Hopefully, this means they are getting back into the complete upper receive market… maybe even complete rifles.
Ballistic Advantage certainly has the production capability to offer complete uppers and firearms. In the not too distant past, they did offer complete uppers. I own two of them and they are excellent. Now, with the manufacturing backing of Aero Precision and their child brands like VG6 Precision behind them, they should be well positioned to get back into the market.
Generally, when Ballistic Advantage releases a teaser image, we don’t have to wait long before the pay off. Stay tuned.
