EuroOptic Exclusive – Daniel Defense M4A1 Rifle with Vortex AMG 1-10×24 FFP EBR-9 Super Short Scope

Friday, December 22nd, 2023

As soon as the elusive Vortex 1-10×24 Super Short Scope was revealed just over a year ago, folks have been trying to figure out how to get one and now is your chance. There’s a catch, well two catches. The first is that there are only 50 available and the second is that you have to buy a rifle along with it.

Now the rifle is pretty nice as well. It’s a Daniel Defense Daniel Defense M4A1 RIII 5.56mm NATO 14.5″ P&W Bbl Rifle and you also get the Vortex AMG 1-10×24 FFP EBR-9 Super Short Scope with the UK issue Reptilia Mount.

Regardless of the fact that this is a full system purchase at $5595, I expect these to go very quickly.

Here are the details:

Explore the exclusive EuroOptic Daniel Defense M4A1 RIII Rifle package featuring the highly sought-after Vortex AMG 1-10×24 Super Short Scope secured within a custom-designed Reptilia AUS mount. Limited to just 50 units, this package delivers a specialized combination of rifle, optic, and mount, drawing inspiration from the L403A1 weapons system recently adopted by the British Special Operations Forces.

Crafted around the Daniel Defense M4A1 RIII, a semi-automatic 5.56x45mm NATO rifle, this package boasts a 14.5” barrel, complemented by a pinned and welded flash hider, maintaining a 16” overall “barrel length” for non-NFA classification. Representing an enhanced iteration of the popular M4A1 platform, the M4A1 RIII incorporates numerous upgrades to optimize performance and user convenience.

Distinguishing itself with the exclusive RIS III rail system, an evolved version of the esteemed RIS II rail developed by SOCOM, the M4A1 RIII features the robust 6-Bolt, Bolt-Up system capable of enduring the recoil from an M203 grenade launcher. Further enhancing usability, its ambidextrous safety selector, bolt release, and charging handle empower both left and right-handed users to operate the rifle seamlessly without adjusting their dominant grip.

Atop this exceptional rifle, the Vortex AMG 1-10×24 34mm Super Short Riflescope, adorned with an EBR-9 First Focal Plane Reticle, rests within the precision-crafted Reptilia AUS optic mount. This American-manufactured scope, weighing a mere 18.85 ounces and measuring a compact 8.5 inches in length, ranks among the lightest and most compact scopes in its category. The EBR-9 Reticle, designed for close and medium-range engagements, combines an illuminated segmented circle dot for optimal visibility at 1x magnification with Christmas tree-style hold-overs for use at higher magnifications. Notably, this scope is currently exclusively available with the purchase of this rifle and optic package.

Griffin Armament Announces the MK2 AR-15 Series

Friday, September 15th, 2023

Watertown WI, Sept. 14th, 2023 –  

Using intellectual property developed by Griffin circa 2013, the Griffin MK2 AR-15 Series improves on the features of the MK1 by upgrading the foundation of the rifle; its lower receiver. The Griffin MK2 fully ambidextrous lower receiver is manufactured using state-of-the-art aerospace manufacturing techniques to achieve sub-mil-spec tolerances and unparalleled quality.

The MK2 AR-15 lower receiver is CNC-machined from a custom 7075-T6 aluminum forging with exacting tolerances at Griffin’s Watertown, WI manufacturing facility. In-machine probing, tool setting, machining, and premium deburring & de-flashing ensure a premium fit and finish and unparalleled quality. Finished in Type 3 black hardcoat anodizing, with a 60-degree flared magazine well, and built in all-weather trigger guard, the MK2 series lower is the premium foundation of an excellent fighting rifle.

The tuned gas system and suppressor optimized buffer system ensure a soft, yet reliable gas system during suppressed or unsuppressed use. The nitrided, 416R SS barrel provides improved accuracy and exceptional durability. Internal testing of this barrel to 47,000 suppressed rounds yielded zero baffle strikes, and intact rifling until the barrel was retired due to extension lug wear. Other case studies, such as multiple M24 SWS barrels holding 0.35 MOA to 20,000+ rounds in army testing provide further evidence that 416R SS is an extremely durable barrel material.  

Griffin MK2 rifles are available in two rail styles, both featuring M-LOK compatible mounting interfaces throughout.  The Low Profile rail is a rigid yet slender option for ideal ergonomics; featuring internal supporting ribs, this rail has extremely minimal flex, we measured at 30% of alternative market systems, and therefore is very accurate with laser systems and clip-on rail mounted night vision devices. The Griffin SR rail is a suppressor optimized hex rail allowing suppressors of 1.5” of diameter to free float under the handguard providing better hand holds with short, suppressed barrels.

The Griffin MK2 lower receiver’s controls are mirrored on both sides affording full-ambidextrous capability and vastly improved functionality for left & right-handed shooters. Ambidextrous controls include:

• Ejection Port Side Bolt Catch & Release

• Non-Ejection Port Side Magazine Release

• Safety Selector Kit

• SN-ACH™ Charging Handle

 

“It is satisfying to finally release these, ten years after my original design of the Ambi Lower suite.  The Mk2 is everything the MK1 should have been – forged, ambidextrous, better than mil-spec dimensions, with the classic lines we all know and appreciate.  It was great to be able to fully control quality this time around and give this project the attention to detail required to make these parts exceptional as they should be. It’s a great feeling to put the part in your hand and realize one of the nicest lowers you’ve ever handled is the product of your company.”

– Austin, Product Development Manager, Griffin Armament 

MK2 rifles are machined in Griffin’s Watertown Wisconsin facility by freedom loving Americans.

• Griffin 416R SS HEDP™ Barrels

Wyndham Weaponry to Close

Tuesday, September 12th, 2023

Visitors to the Wyndham Weaponry site are met with this message:

It is with deep regret that we announce the closing of Windham Weaponry. Our website/online retail ordering system will remain active through Tuesday night, Sept 12. We will do our best to ship all orders this week and early next week. No credit card will be charged until the order is shipped.

Twelve years ago, when we started Windham Weaponry, our shareholders and longtime employees were excited to continue the traditions and spirit of Bushmaster Firearms, after the new owners decided to leave Maine.

We built WW into a company we could be proud of providing outstanding customer service, high quality products, as well as a great place for our dedicated employees to work.

The last few years have been a very challenging time for the firearms industry, and we have struggled to keep the WW dream alive for as long as possible. Unfortunately, we have not been able to meet our loan obligations with the bank after they worked with us as much as they could.

There was a glimmer of hope when we were negotiating with an investor to help keep WW alive and healthy, but that just fell through.

We have begun discussions with Keenan Auction Company to determine the best course of action for a full liquidation which should happen within the next month or so.

Our shareholders and employees truly appreciate your loyal support all of these years.

The company was created in 2012 using the old Bushmaster factory in Wyndham, Maine. Bushmaster was sold to Freedom Group (Cerberus Capital Management) in 2006 and had closed the plant a few years later. Bushmaster Firearms Industries, Inc is currently in business, headquartered in Carson City, Nevada.

DARC Selects L9 Mfg. as the Official Tactical Rifle of DARC

Thursday, September 7th, 2023

L9 Manufacturing (L9 Mfg.) and Direct Action Resource Center (DARC) are Pleased to Announce an Unmatched Brand Partnership for the Training and Firearms Industry. DARC has Selected L9 Mfg. as the Official Tactical Rifle of DARC.

L9 Mfg., aims to be the trusted choice for the professional end-user and the community they serve, by producing safe, reliable and superior rifles tailored to meet their operational needs. Since 2014, L9 Mfg., the parent company of SOLGW, have been dedicated to providing high-quality, American-made M4 and MK10 firearm platforms and accessories that have proven craftsmanship and performance. As a leader in the firearms industry, L9 Mfg. instills confidence and trust in their clients through innovative design, extensive data collection, rigorous product testing and accuracy. L9 Mfg. stands with the professional end-user by offering a lifetime warranty and a service promise to support and replace, any issued firearm platform that has been used in the line of duty.

DARC was founded in 1996 as a private research lab for leadership, tactics, and technology integration. For 27 years, DARC has been committed to professionalism, discretion, mission specific training experiences, and the accompanying equipment research and development. By specializing and focusing on the peer/near-peer conflict, DARC is always anticipating and searching for unconventional and effective solutions to current and emerging threats. DARC is committed to finding positive outcomes for clients through their tailored training programs and applicable technology solutions. Collectively, with carefully selected cadre, real-world experiences, training methodologies, facilities, and service culture, DARC has created an environment for innovation that is inimitable in the training industry.

L9 Mfg. and DARC believe in the importance of well trained and equipped professionals. This brand partnership will enhance DARC training programs for clients by incorporating L9 Mfg.’s firearm platforms. Providing clients the opportunity to use the L9 Mfg. rifles during training at DARC offers a unique test and evaluation lab in a high- stress environment.

“Both L9 and DARC use a data and results driven approach to solve real world problems. This alliance accelerates our efforts to increase both the reliability of the platform and the operator by rapidly fielding concepts into a demanding environment that either validates or refines the solution. There’s no participation trophy. It either works, or it doesn’t. And our job is to sort that out in training and testing rather than a real world encounter.”

Mike Mihalski, L9 Mfg

The complementary capabilities of L9 Mfg. and DARC will authentically identify emerging operational demands through training and evaluation. This holistic approach will generate innovative solutions streamlined for the professional user. DARC and L9 Mfg.’s commitment to continuous improvement and pursuit of excellence, ensures this brand partnership will be the flagship of mission-specific advancements in firearms production and training resources for the benefit of the professional end-users.

“For the past 49 years, I have professionally and personally carried and used, an AR15 in variety of environments and configurations. I have experienced the trends and witnessed the evolution of the platform first-hand. Since 2020 I have personally been evaluating the L9 Mfg. rifle. When an off the shelf rifle performs at a custom built level, it gets my attention. Several things are important to me when it comes to selecting a platform to use. Number one is quality- it must be built with quality components, at spec tolerances and maintain functionality. Second is reliability, third is accuracy and fourth is who is manufacturing it. There are a lot of great AR15’s on the market now – it wasn’t always so. What solidified the selection of L9 Mfg. as the official DARC platform was the opportunity to meet the armorers building the rifles- they are the difference. Observing firsthand their attention to detail and tenacity, is hard to express in words but it’s tangible. Some call it grit, others character. I know that when I am running an L9 rifle, that the armorers who assembled it as if it was for themselves and that the company stands 100% behind their product. It is reassuring to deal with a person instead of a corporation and then also experiencing personable customer care as an individual. I think their platform is one of the best I’ve handled to date and the armorers are incredible. Bottom line is— people and performance; L9 is both and it is rare.”

Richard Mason, DARC

“Picking out components to build a rifle ready for use can be overwhelming. I wanted to see a platform that focused on solving the “paralysis of analysis” of what to choose when you are unsure if your needs and capabilities will change in the future.
