Barrett Announces the Return of the REC7 DI Rifle

Wednesday, May 15th, 2024

MURFREESBORO, TENNESSEE — Barrett Firearms Manufacturing Inc., the leader in long range, is pleased to announce the return of the REC7 DI rifle. First introduced in 2016, this iconic firearm returns to the market in Summer 2024 following a temporary production hold due to the MK 22 contract.

Known for its reliability and precision, the Barrett REC7 is designed specifically for situations in which there’s no room for error and features a mid-length gas system for reliability with or without a suppressor. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, its upper and lower receivers are machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, while all aluminum components are coated in Type 3 hardcoat anodizing.

Featuring a cold hammer-forged chrome-lined barrel, Magpul® furniture, ALG QMS trigger, and extended slimline Barrett handguard with M-LOK® accessory mounting slots, no detail has been overlooked in the pursuit of excellence.

Bryan James, President of Barrett, expressed his excitement regarding the return of the REC7 DI, stating, “We are thrilled to be able to offer the REC7 DI once again to our customers. This rifle embodies the legacy of quality and reliability that the Barrett name represents. We are confident that shooters will once again appreciate the exceptional performance and craftsmanship of the REC7 DI.”

Available in 5.56 x 45 NATO, every REC7 DI is hand-built one at a time, inspected, and tested to ensure it delivers the performance you expect from the Barrett name.

Franklin Armory Now Shipping New Binary Firing System for Grand Power Stribog SP9

Wednesday, May 15th, 2024

Franklin Armory®, Inc., one of America’s most innovative manufacturers of firearms and accessories, has begun shipping its latest Binary® trigger, the SP-S1 for Grand Power’s popular Stribog SP9 series of firearms. The new SP-S1 Binary® trigger is drop-in ready and will work with both the A1 and A3/A3G models of the Stribog SP9.

Franklin Armory’s patented Binary Firing System® (BFS™) enables reduced split times and tighter controlled pair groupings, which are important shooting metrics for both defensive and sporting applications. To see this latest product from the Binary Firing System® lineup in action, check out the video “Franklin Armory Introduces the Binary® Trigger for Stribog SP9.”

Like other BFS™ offerings from Franklin Armory for rifles and pistol-caliber carbines, SP-S1 is a three-position selectable trigger: Position One, safe; Position Two, traditional semiautomatic; Position Three, Binary® mode.

In Binary® mode, a single round is fired when the trigger is pulled and a single round is fired when the trigger is released at the user’s discretion. As only a single round is fired for each function of the trigger, Franklin Armory’s patented Binary Firing System® has been consistently defined as a semiautomatic trigger by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

One of the revered safety features incorporated into all Franklin Armory BFS™ triggers is the ability to cancel the release round. To cancel the release round on SP-S1, simply move the ambidextrous selector paddle located on either side of the receiver from Binary® position to the “semi” or “safe” position before releasing the trigger.

MSRP for Franklin Armory’s SP-S1 Binary® trigger is $499.99.

For more information about SP-S1 and other innovative Franklin Armory products like the newly announced G-S223 and G-S173 Binary® trigger and slide kits for Glock® 22 and Glock® 17, visit FranklinArmory.com.

FightLite Releases Multi-Caliber HERRING Model 2024 Lever Action

Tuesday, May 14th, 2024

(Melbourne, Florida USA) May 13, 2024 – FightLite® Industries, a division of ARES Defense Systems® Inc. located in Melbourne, Florida formally releases its new multi-caliber, HERRING® Model 2024 – Modern Lever Action Rifles and Pistols!

First announced in October 2022, the patented HERRING® Model 2024 is a family of high performance, extremely accurate and modular lever-action firearms that provide for flexible caliber and magazine reconfiguration at the user-level, without tools to support virtually any shooting profile. HERRING® significantly advances the state-of-the-art for lever action rifles and pistols above legacy systems that have been the norm for over 150 years, and it is now officially in LRIP production with select customer deliveries that began last week.

Invented and designed by notable small arms designer and company CEO Geoffrey Herring and his team at FightLite® Industries, the Model 2024™ significantly raises the bar for lever action guns by incorporating the latest materials, heat treating options and finishes into a modern, robust, lightweight, and accurate firearm family.

Additionally, The HERRING® Model 2024 leverages the vast AR accessory industry to provide for different calibers, barrel lengths, optical sights, silencers and accessory mounting needs. And like an AR-15, the HERRING® Model 2024 utilizes off-the-shelf AR-15 bolts and barrel extensions, which gives it even greater flexibility and product support.

“In addition to producing all-weather sporting guns such as our SCR® family of semi-auto rifles, our team at FightLite®has spent the better part of 27 years designing and producing hard use, sustained-fire automatic weapons like our belt-fed MCR® which we have supplied to both our own government, as well as those of other nations.” says Geoffrey Herring, founder & CEO of ARES Defense & FightLite Industries. “So, when we made the decision to develop a truly modern lever-action system, our team was perfectly positioned and enthusiastic to leverage our cumulative experience designing and manufacturing hard use, military grade weapons that must not fail during difficult combat conditions. We are very well versed in technical details such as material selection, preventing, or overcoming failure points caused by water intrusion or dirt, sand, mud, salt water, ice, etc., and understand that designing guns to meet requirements of MIL-STD-810Hfor things like corrosion resistance or drop-testing is just something that we do every day regardless of the project. An example would be the 6:1 mechanical advantage that’s designed into the HERRING® Model 2024’s primary extraction mechanism; because when clean or muddy brass obturates against the chamber wall and breech system at 55,000 – 70,000 PSI, you’d better have figured out a reliable way to extract it.”

Mechanically, the HERRING® Model 2024 family uses a rotating bolt like an AR-pattern semiautomatic, and it also accepts all AR-15 (STANAG) pattern magazines, including 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 100 round AR magazines. Due to its modern, magazine-fed design the HERRING® Model 2024 doesn’t suffer from center-of-gravity shift as a tube-fed rifle does when loading or firing, nor is it limited to round-nosed projectiles. It is designed to accommodate high pressure, high velocity ammunition including 5.56 NATO and Hornady 6mm ARC, as well as great hunting loads like 350 Legend and .450 Bushmaster.

The patented HERRING® Model 2024 marries the proven accuracy, adaptability, and high performance of the AR platform with the established power and all-American rugged dependability of the lever-action repeating rifle.

FightLite® Industries is exhibiting its products at the 2024 NRAAM during May 17-19 at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, Texas. Attendees are invited to visit the FightLite® booth #11331 where they can get hands on experience with their exciting new products such as our HERRING® Model 2024 Modern Lever Action Rifle and Bandito® pistols, as well as legacy systems including our Dual-Feed® MCR and our universal SCR® platforms.

To make inquiries regarding potential business collaboration, product development or product licensing opportunities with FightLite® Industries, please email sales@FightLite.com
