SK Customs Releases The HAKA in Stainless, Part Two of a Two Part Limited-Edition Production Designer Series Colt 1911

Thursday, June 9th, 2022

HAYMARKET, VA – June 3, 2022 – SK Customs pays tribute to Haka Ka Mate with the launch of The HAKA, part two of a two-part limited-edition production designer series Colt 1911.

HAKA Ka Mate pre-dates the 19th Century and is defined as a Warriors Mantra; an expression consisting of every part of the body. Today Haka is performed in many reverences most predominately by the New Zealand Champion National Rugby Club and in other arrays throughout the world in both a ceremonial and threatening show of force through rhythmic moving of the body. 

“The Haka is a ceremonial dance in M?ori culture and represents a display of a tribe’s pride, strength and unity,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns and SK Customs. “As we continue to release limited-edition firearms, we will continue to pay tribute to traditions and cultures from around the world.”

This final iteration of The HAKA is presented on a Full-Size Colt Classic 1911 Series 70 .38 Super and comes in a high polish stainless steel frame, slide and accents. The HAKA also features:

• High polished silver nation matched barrel

• Gold plated and high polished magazine release

• Grip screws

• Barrel brushing and spurred hammer with 24K gold etched motifs

• Diamond studded factory front staked sight

• Super Bright White Ivory polymer engraved grips

The HAKA comes with a limited-edition series number from 001 of 200 etched in 24K gold behind the right slide serrations. The HAKA is the final legacy of this two-part limited-edition designer series with The MANA distinguishing the series.

The HAKA can be pre-ordered for $3,200.

CAA USA To Offer MCK Rifle Line Up

Thursday, May 19th, 2022

The overwhelming success of the CAA USA MCK (Micro Conversion Kit) which takes popular handguns to the next level, has contributed to a natural evolution for CAA USA.

CAA USA will be introducing a whole new lineup of MCK rifles coming in Q4. CAA USA is holding a contest to name their new rifles; the winner is to receive an early serial numbered MCK rifle.

Pompano Beach, FL. (May 2022) – CAA USA designers, and developers of the world-famous MCK/Micro Conversion Kit, have decided to move into the gun manufacturing world utilizing the same MCK “look” that hundreds of thousands of customers have become accustomed to.

The new rifle line-up has been in the design and R&D phase for some time, as LTC. (Ret.) Mikey Hartman described the new products. “If it was not for all our loyal, distributors, retailers, and end-users, this dream of a complete rifle system, based on the design principles of our MCK line, would not be possible. Design, tooling, and testing is an expensive endeavor, and it’s with tremendous appreciation for our customers’ passion for the MCK line, that we have been able to move forward with this project.”

The new rifle is based on the ergonomic design of the original MCK. Three models will be the first released between 2022 and 2023. A 16-inch barrel and 10-inch with a welded faux suppressor and a 10-inch NFA model will be offered. The 9mm and 10mm rifles are built on a blowback system, and the .223 will be a traditional gas operating system. The 9mm and 10mm models will be the first available in 2022.

The MCK 9mm and 10mm rifles will both accept GLOCK magazines and feature a spare magazine holder. A full-length top Picatinny rail provides plenty of room for optics, and two sides Picatinny rails for lights, lasers, and additional accessories. The folding stock folds left or right for ambidextrous storage and transportation. All three models are expected to retail for under $900.00.

In preparation for the end-of-year launch, CAA USA is asking for help from their valued customers in naming the new rifles in the CAA USA “Name Our Rifle Giveaway”. The winner of each of the officially accepted names for the 9mm, 10mm, and .223 will receive, respectively, the first of each new model as an award for the winning name.

“We used to think we know it all, but the past few years have taught us very clearly that our fan base can and does contribute to our R&D decisions. We have become better because of them”, LTC. (Ret.) Hartman continued. “That is why we are excited to again have our customers participate in the official naming of our new rifles. We are looking forward to seeing what they come up with.”

For more information on the MCK, visit CAA USA at www.caagearup.com, or join the conversation on the CAA USA Facebook, Instagram, and  YouTube pages.

CAA USA will be exhibiting at the NRA 2022 Annual Meeting & Exhibits at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas. CAA USA will be at booth #538.

Vortakt Expands Production Capacity With Revolutionary New Turning Center

Wednesday, May 18th, 2022

OEM barrel manufacturer introduces industry-leading automation technology

MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis (May 17, 2022) – Vortakt Barrel Works once again demonstrates its commitment to becoming the future of OEM barrel manufacturing by introducing “The Profiler”, a new fully automated turning cell that consolidates contouring, chambering, gas porting, threading, and crowning operations in a single machine.

This 2021 Okuma LT2000 EX CNC lathe features 700mm length capacity, with twin turrets and spindles, live steady rest, live tooling, and Y-axis motion. Automatically loaded via a Fanuc CRX Collaborative Robot and custom infeed/outfeed systems, this turning center offers a capacity of around 3,300 MSR-style barrels each month

“The automation technology we incorporate into barrel manufacturing allows us to maximize capacity while minimizing production costs involved in the production of barrels for popular platforms like the AR-15 and Kalashnikov (AK)”, said Chad Weister, Managing Director of Vortakt Barrel Works.

Most barrel manufacturers will run their barrel blanks through one to two operations in a CNC lathe to achieve the final contour, pass the barrel along to an additional lathe for chambering, direct the contoured blank through a mill for gas porting, and then forward the barrel to another lathe for cut, crown, and threading operations. Vortakt has effectively managed to integrate all of these processes into a single machine tool supported by state-of-the-art robotics.

By effectively harnessing automation technology and adhering to engineering best practices, Vortakt’s team provides innovative partnership solutions based on their client’s unique needs. More information can be found at vortakt.com.
