Available in 10,” 13.5”, and 15,” the new and improved EXD Free Float M-LOK® Rail System is designed with the modern shooter in mind.
Horsham, Pa. (September 2022) – Mission First Tactical, LLC (MFT™), a leader in USA-made rifle/carbine accessories and holsters, is pleased to introduce its new EXD Free Float M-LOK® Rail System available in 10”, 13.5”, and 15”. Boasting multiple improvements, the new system is designed with the modern shooter in mind. Streamlined and user-friendly, the updated design allows shooters more time to send rounds down range and less time making field adjustments or modifications.
The upgraded upper receiver attachment system increases shooter stability and also minimizes the inner diameter, providing a more streamlined appearance. Updated modern wall thickness addresses the flimsiness of other rail systems by providing the strength needed to attach a variety of M-LOK accessories.
Other features of the updated EXD Free Float M-LOK Rail System include:
• Seven sides of M-LOK – multiple locations to mount accessories
• Anti-rotation technology – zero rotation under extreme use
• IR anti-reflective coating – reduces reflection from 36 percent to 1 percent
• Steel non-timing barrel nut – secured with four set screws
The EXD Rail System is easily attached by two set screws (not Delta rings) on each side with anti-rotation tabs on top. Steel barrel nut included easily installs using a standard wrench. MSRP $149.99.
Mission First Tactical EXD Free Float M-LOK Rail System comes with a Lifetime Warranty. For more information on Mission First Tactical, visit www.missionfirsttactical.com.

Testing and evaluation on an Aero Precision rifle was conducted by a west coast law enforcement agency. The rifle was tested to several NIJ testing procedures followed by a 10,000 round endurance test where the rifle experienced 0 operational malfunctions.
The following NIJ test procedures mentioned above were performed:
– Initial 60-round test firing
– 12hr Freezer (30-round test firing after)
– 12hr Oven (120 degrees Fahrenheit / 30-round test firing after)
– Six position drop test (5-round test firing after each drop) *Charging handle lever on the port side broke, flash hider came loose, pistol grip came loose. None of these issues impacted the functioning of the rifle and where appropriate, were re-tightened.
– Water submersion (30-round test firing after)
– Sand submersion (30-round test firing after)
– Initial zeroing w/optic and irons (T&E Optic failure during drop test which doesn’t impact the rifle test. A second T&E optic also failed. A third T&E optic was mounted during endurance firing)
– Final zeroing (3-round zeroing shots near the end of endurance testing resulted with an acceptable zero within 2.75”)
Included in the above test procedures was a 10,000-round endurance test. The rifle was first cleaned and lubricated and then was only lubricated in 1000-round intervals during the course of fire. The firing schedule for this rifle consisted of 150-180-round increments from various shooting positions and firing rates with an 8–12-minute cool down period in between cycles utilizing a 4’x4’ industrial fan. The gas rings of the rifle were replaced at 6,040 rounds and a final zeroing test was conducted at round 9,960.
The Aero Precision T&E rifle fired a total of 10,040 rounds without experiencing a single malfunction, even in extreme conditions that fall outside normal use.

San Antonio, Texas (April 20, 2022) – LRF (Lower Receiver, Forward Controls Design) is a collaboration between Sons of Liberty Gunworks (SOLGW) and Forward Controls Design (FCD).
Machined from a solid block of 7075 aluminum, LRF is an ambidextrous AR15 lower receiver with built-in right side bolt release, designed to use our EMR-A (Enhanced Magazine Release, Ambidextrous), a Norgon Ambi-Catch will also work on the LRF.
Design of LRF was completed in 2019. Due to difficulties of Covid-19 induced lockdowns and subsequent buying frenzies of all things firearms related, production was continuously delayed. Neither SOLGW nor FCD are known to rush development or production, we had used this time to further refine the LRF.
LRF was designed with duty and defense users in mind. Its changes from TDP based lowers are based on ergonomics and better protection of magazine releases (both left and right side):
* EMR-A (Enhanced Magazine Release, Ambidextrous) fence on the left side.
* Taller than TDP spec magazine release fence on the right side to ensure TDP spec magazine release button stays below the fence.
* Countersunk take down pin hole on the left, when the user pushes the take down pin in from the left side, the pin can be pushed in further, with more protrusion on the right to pull from.
* Built in trigger guard with the same features as our TGF (Trigger guard, Forward Controls), more info: www.forwardcontrolsdesign.com/TGF-Trigger-Guard-Forward-Controls_p_178 TGF has more usable space forward of the trigger, not behind. It also has a “ramp” to facilitate magazine loading for users that use the rear spline of the magazine to index and “rock” the magazine into the mag well.
* Flared magazine well with a larger opening.
LRF’s changes are subtle and wholly functions based, a duty/defense firearm doesn’t concern itself with aesthetics, nor benefit from them. One will not find it decorated with lightening cuts/holes, or obnoxiously large logos.
A tastefully small Cygnus is engraved on the right side of the LRF magazine well to denote FCD’s involvement in the project’s development, one can easily miss or overlook it, and that’s the point, we don’t intend the LRF to be a walking billboard. It’s designed and made for work, not for show.
Exclusive offering of the LRF will only be through our SOLGW Premier Dealer Network. Some of these online retailers will even have notifications available to let you know when they go live. Be sure to stay up to date with the latest new products coming out of SOLGW and FCD by visiting our websites, signing up for our email alerts, and following us on social media.
