SIONICS Weapon Systems has several St. Patrick’s Day Specials that will be available through the weekend. There are some great deals but I think the pick of the litter is their SIONICS CORE Bundle that includes one of their excellent barrels, their NP3 coated bolt carrier group, and one of their EMS Triggers for $369.95 and you get to pick the barrel contour!

Suppressors may be easier on your ears but they can be tough on your rifle especially when you consider how over-gassed many AR-15s are before you even mount a can. Sionics Weapon Systems has tackled this issue before with their Reduced Gas Port Barrels but now they are taking that concept a step further.
Sionics has announced the impending arrival of their newest generation of their Reduced Gas Port Barrels – Dedicated Suppressor Barrels. These barrels are designed to function smoothly and reliably as full-time suppressor hosts. To accomplish this, Sionics uses a gas port diameter so small that the host rifle will short stroke without a suppressor installed. The result is a a rifle and suppressor combination that cycles much like a perfectly gassed rifle without a can.
These barrels will be available soon. Stay tuned for information.
Sionics Weapon Systems now offers in-house laser engraving. You can contact them directly for details.
If you want to build an AR-15 under 5 pounds, you are going to have to get a little creative and it’s going to cost you. However, you don’t have to start skeletonizing things that shouldn’t be skeletonized or using exotic materials to build a rifle that will still carry light and function reliably.
SIONICS recently posted a picture of one of their Patrol Three Rifles on a scale. It weighs in at a scant 6.1 pounds with top quality, standard parts and in a ready to shoot configuration (with sights).
How do they do it? Did they flute the bolt carrier or use aluminum where you should use steel? Nope. This rifle still has a proper M16 BCG and other reliable, full weight parts. They just make use of a smart barrel profile and quality, lightweight hand guard. Those are the same places you should start when shedding weight. Or… Just check out a Patrol Three at SIONICS.
SIONICS Weapon Systems has introduced a new Short Side Lever for their Ambidextrous Safety. The new lever is shorter on the ejection port side of the AR-15 to provide more clearance for the shooter’s trigger finger.
The new Short Side Lever will be standard equipment on all SIONICS rifles going forward or it can be purchased separately. It comes with a selector spring and detent when purchased separately.
