NRA – Colt Classic Reproduction Military ARs

Saturday, May 21st, 2016

This is the coolest thing I’ve seen at the show.  Colt Classic plans to release a new line of reproduction AR-style, military issue firearms. The first two are the Model 02 and XM177E1. Other, similar reproductions have been offered but these are genuine Colt, using original examples as pattern guns to ensure accuracy. 

I spoke briefly with the folks working in this project and it’s truly a labor of love, recreating these limited edition firearms. There’s a whole lineup planned including the Shorty Commando, GAU-5A/A and others. I can’t wait to see these hit the market, considering an original Commando will run in the tens of thousands of Dollars.

The 19.5 ounce VERT Stock System from Battle Arms Development is designed for use with PDWs. It offers a continuous, interchangable checkrest which is made from Carbon Fiber-style Kydex (that means it looks like Carbon Fiber, not that it is). The buttstock itself is made from 7975 T6 aluminum and offers four stock positions. Inside, there’s a new 3.9 ounce ultra compact buffer to work with the shorter lower receiver extension.

NRA – Daniel Defense Is Giving Away 11 DDM4 V7s During The Show

Friday, May 20th, 2016

Daniel Defense is giving 11 of their new DDM4 V7s during this weekend’s NRA Annual Meeting & Exposition.

It incorporates their new MFR XS rail system. It’s lighter than their earlier rails and has the strongest barrel lockup they’ve offered yet. Out toward the business end, you’ll notice their sling swivel adapter which can be configured at different locations along the M-Lok rail.

The V7 is also their first rifle with the new polymer dust cover. DD says it won’t dent or bend but rather pop back into place. It’s also lighter than metal alternatives.

Their weight savings in different areas have paid off. The V7 is 6.2 lbs with the lightweight variant at 6.05 lbs.

NRA – SB Tactical Receives Favorable ATF Opinion Letter On Two New Stabilizing Braces For PDW Pistols

Friday, May 20th, 2016

You probably remember SB Tactical for the so-called SIG Brace that was all the rage for AR pistols just a few years ago. Now, they have received a Favorable Opinion Letter from Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE), for their latest Pistol Stabilizing Brace. This letter means that installation of the brace does not change the classification of a pistol in accordance with GCA provisions.


There are two new adjustable brace models are on display at the NRA Annual Meeting; one for the the MPX PSB and SBPDW. The MPX PSB will be showcased in SIG SAUER, Inc’s Booth #5333 and the SBPDW will be displayed by both Maxim Defense Industries Booth #3954 and LWRC International LLC Booth #5547.
