Tuesday, April 25th, 2017Vernonia, OR – TNW Firearms, a market leading designer and manufacturer of modern and historical firearms, now offers the innovative Aero Survival Rifle chambered for the popular 22 Long Rifle. Also now available is a conversion kit for existing and future ASR owners to convert any ASR to shoot 22LR. Regarded as one of the better survival cartridges because of its capability and firepower-to-weight ratio, the 22LR was a natural choice for the Aero Survival Rifle. Like all ASRs, the 22LR ASR is a takedown firearm for the ultimate in portability, making it the perfect emergency survival carbine for outdoor enthusiasts, ranchers, pilots or anyone who needs a portable, rugged and reliable semi-automatic rimfire rifle.
Similar in appearance and manual-of-arms as an AR pattern rifle, the ASR is an original design. Portable, lightweight, easy to carry and rapid firing, this take-down carbine uses Remington 597 magazines. Blowback operated for simplicity and reliability, the Aero Survival Rifle has both an upper and lower receiver machined from 6061-T6 aluminum. The ASR is available finished in hard coat anodized black, dark earth, OD green and two variegated finishes, Tiger Pink and Tiger Green. The safety is a familiar cross-bolt push button safety easily manipulated by the trigger finger. One 10rd magazine is included. Like all Aero Survival Rifles, the new 22LR ASR also can be used with the new handguard adapter allowing it to use any free float style AR-15 handguard like the 45ACP model pictured below.
The 22LR ASR joins the family of take-down, pistol-caliber Aero Survival Rifles available is in 9mm Luger, .357Sig, .40S&W, 45ACP and even the powerful 10mm, all using Glock pattern magazines. The removable barrel and easily convertible caliber changes allow the shooter to switch between similar cartridges with nothing more than the change of a barrel and bolt assembly. The ASR 22LR conversion kit comes with the kit comes with a drop in bolt assembly, one 10rd magazine, a barrel, and complete trigger housing.
This new 22LR Aero Survival Rifle gives shooters a portable, takedown rimfire carbine perfect for casual shooting, hunting or emergency situations. Available in April of 2017, the 22LR Aero Survival Rifle has an MSRP of $799.00 and the 22LR conversion kit has an MSRP of $369.95

Aimpoint’s Nano Sight Available As Component of B&T’s Universal Service Weapon
Wednesday, March 1st, 2017Last year we mentioned the upcoming Nano red-dot weapon sight from Aimpoint. We were hoping it would be released at SHOT Show but when we asked the crew manning the Aimpoint booth, they suggested we check out Brügger & Thomet, down in the basement. Sure enough, it was there but the weapon it was mounted to, hasn’t seemed to resonate with the American market. Perhaps it’s the folding stock on a pistol that has so many scratching their heads. But now, we’re at Enforce Tac, a European Security Show and the B&T USW has generated quite a bit of interest.
The USW is duty pistol size but intended to offer a more stable platform to police and security forces. It features a DA/SA trigger and ambi decocking lever. Additionally, the mag release can be configured left or right.
Interestingly, the Nano stays put on the bridge of the receiver and doesn’t reciprocate on the slide. They’ve also incorporate charging ears on the slide to help with racking the slide.
The Nano comes standard on the B&T USW, and so far, that’s the only way you’re going to get one. The UsW also comes equipped with a side folding stock, level 3 retention holster, 3 magazines (17, 19, and 30 round) single point sling, cleaning kit, transportation box and a B&T Advanced Pistol Light which is made by Inforce. In fact, the only option is for a suppressor.
Petition To Repeal The NFA
Monday, February 6th, 2017This petition to repeal the National Firearms Act has been out for a couple of weeks but it doesn’t have nearly enough signatures. Yeah, I said to myself, “these things don’t do any good” just like money of you will. But, the reality is that it is out there, and a healthy number of signatures can be pointed to as support for legislation such as the Hearing Protection Act which would begin the work of dismantling the NFA by removing silencers from needless regulation.
