Salem, OR (For Immediate Release)

AXTS Weapons Systems, a leader in innovative products for the AR platform such as the Raptor ambi charging handle, is proud to introduce the MI-T556 14.5” carbine. Every component of the MI-T556 has undergone rigorous scrutiny to produce a highly attractive and advanced rifle capable of maximizing the potential of even the most skilled marksman. Engineered for performance and longevity, the MI-T556 dissipates heat at a remarkable rate while maintaining tremendous accuracy. With it’s fully ambidextrous design, the MI-T556 is a versatile and ergonomic platform for today’s advanced warfighter.

Based on the ambidextrous AX556 lower, the MI-T556 features right-side dual action bolt catch/magazine release, and right-side bolt release along with left-side magazine release in addition to the default controls present on standard AR lowers. The user-friendly ambi nature of the MI-T556 is further complimented by the inclusion of the AXTS Talon 45/90 ambi safety selector. Other standard features on the MI-T556 lower include a 3.5lb two-stage trigger, Magpul QD sling endplate, and the Magpul CTR stock installed on a Mil-Spec 7075-T6 aluminum receiver extension.

The AXTS billet upper receiver is mated to a 7075-T6 aluminum foreend—retaining unprecedented rigidity while still allowing the user to quickly and easily remove the handguard if necessary. The MI-T556 features Magpul’s M-LOK system for quick and secure mounting of any MIL-STD-1913-based accessory. Ambidextrous functionality is retained in the upper, with the inclusion of the industry-leading AXTS Raptor charging handle.

Beneath the MI-T556’s foreend is a stainless steel Shilen 416R-derived, with a proprietary AXTS barrel contour 1:8 barrel chambered in .223 Wylde. The MI-T556 will initially be released with a 14.5” barrel, guaranteed to ½ MOA*, topped off with the purchaser’s selection of factory pinned muzzle device from the following manufacturers: SureFire, AAC, Silencerco, BattleComp, and Knight’s Armament Corporation. Buyers may also send in their own muzzle device for factory pinning to 16” overall barrel length. The MI-T556’s bolt carrier is manufactured from case hardened 8620 steel with properly staked 4130 steel gas key. The accompanying bolt is case hardened 9310 steel, shot peened, HPT and MPI tested, and finished in a self-lubricating polished black nitride. Bolt lugs are CNC ground following heat treatment to insure the greatest accuracy possible. The MI-T556 is finished in low visibility AXTS Grey Cerakote and ships with one Magpul PMAG magazine.

The MI-T556 along with an SBR variant will be on display at SHOT Show booth#7601. AXTS will begin taking orders for the MI-T556 in early 2015. Follow AXTS Weapons Systems on Facebook and Instagram for more news on the MI-T556 family of rifles.

GEMTECH Announces The Release Of The ONE Suppressor

Thursday, January 15th, 2015

Boise, ID—14 JAN 14

“It swelled with amazing speed to a profound clamor that involved the earth in noises. The splitting crashes swept along the lines until an interminable roar was developed. To those in the midst of it became a din fitted to the universe.”
Stephen Crane

Clamor sucks. Kill it with a can.

The ONE suppressor from GEMTECH is the suppressor world’s new go-to can for any application. Use it on everything from your .300BLK carbine to 5.56 SBR and on up to 300WM; it’s the only silencer you’re going to need for your centerfire rifle. Yeah. From 5.56 to 300WM. How’s that for functionality?

The ONE is an “Extreme Duty” silencer, full auto rated on 5.56mm as short as 7.5” barrels. Length is a tight 7.5” with a diameter of 1.625 including shroud (so, not much girth). Weighing in at just a smidge over a pound, built of Titanium and Inconel with an interchangeable QD mount or thread mount option and high temp black Cerakote finish, this suppressor is rated for 300 Win Mag on 24” or longer barrels. Its slim profile is about the same diameter or smaller than everything else in its class, which should make everyone happy.

If GEMTECH doesn’t have a can that suits your needs, you’re probably reliving the Civil War or trying to knock out an IFV. The Latka-Dater tradition continues.

Arisaka Defense Announces New Vertical Grips And Optic Leveler

Wednesday, January 14th, 2015

Apex, NC, January 6, 2015 – Arisaka LLC is pleased to announce the release of its new Vertical Grips and Optic Leveler.

The Vertical Grip is a robust, minimal foregrip for KeyMod, M-Lok, and CMR handguards. It features a radiused profile at the top which tapers to meet the mounting surface on the handguard, giving a low-profile feel and ergonomic comfort. Twin mounting screws ensure secure attachment. The Vertical Grip is CNC machined from 6061 aluminum and type III hard coat anodized. It weighs 1.8 oz, is 2.5″ in height, and 1.3″ in diameter.

The Optic Leveler is an inexpensive, easy-to-use tool for leveling scopes mounted in rings or one-piece mounts. The base plate sits on the Picatinny rail or one-piece mount just below the turret cluster of the scope, which is intentionally left slightly loose in the rings so it can rotate. The leveling wedge is inserted from the side into the slot in the base. As the matching ramped surfaces of the wedge and base engage, the top of the wedge rises upwards and contacts the turret cluster, causing it to spin until level. The user can then proceed to tighten the scope rings.

All Arisaka products are made entirely in the USA.

SIG SAUER Silencer Division Debuts New Benchmark in Signature Reduction Technology

Tuesday, January 13th, 2015

Click to view .pdf

NEWINGTON, N.H. (January 12, 2015) — SIG SAUER, Inc., has assembled a team of industry leading engineers, designers, and professional end-users under the leadership of Division President Kevin Brittingham to introduce the next generation of professional grade signature reduction devices to the market.

“The team we have assembled is combining cutting-edge design with advanced material selection and state of-the-art manufacturing processes,” said Jeff Creamer, Executive Director and General Merchandise Manager for SIG SAUER, Inc. “SIG SAUER Silencers offer new standards of durability, accuracy, and performance.”

Offering solutions for rimfire, centerfire pistols and centerfire rifles up to .338 Lapua Magnum, users can enhance their shooting experience over a wide array of host platforms. Featuring innovations like tubeless rifle silencers to maximize volume and reduce weight, Taper-Lok fast-attach mounting systems that minimize point-of-impact shift, and machined wrench flats to facilitate proper torque and ease of removal.

In addition to technical innovations, SIG SAUER has rethought the utility of silencers. Primarily looked at as a military tool, silencers have exploded on the sport and recreational shooting scene over the past few years.

“As we started to rethink silencers, we also rethought how they are used,” Creamer said. “The result is a military-grade silencer that would be optimal for any unit or law enforcement agency to use, that also makes sense for the commercial market.”

For example, the SRD45 silencer, designed for use on .45 Auto handguns, comes with two pistons, allowing it to be attached to either .578×28 TPI or M16x1LH threads, making it a versatile choice for use on multiple firearms. Nine millimeter and .40S&W pistons are available and greatly add to the versatility of the system. Likewise, the SRD22 rimfire silencer comes with two adapters: both ½x28 and M9.

SIG SAUER has also rethought how silencers attach to firearms, which is the key factor in accuracy. New tapered direct thread designs eliminate the need for a crush washer, allowing the silencers to be more securely torqued down, increases the surface area of contact, and is self-centering to the bore. This design allows for a much more secure fit and significantly reduces the POI shift when using the silencer.

This taper design carries over to the new Taper-Lok QD mounting system. The innovative, modular three-piece design does not require timing to the barrel. Once attached, the Taper-Lok mount features interchangeable muzzle devices, so users can change from a muzzle brake to a flash hider, without the need to remove the mount from the barrel. Taper-Lok QD silencers feature a secondary retention latch, which has wrench flats machined in to facilitate proper torque and aid in removal when heavily fouled by carbon build-up.

SIG SAUER pistol silencers are constructed with 100% 17-4 stainless steel baffles, which offer the same weight as aluminum but far better wear resistance and durability. Designed to be hearing safe when used “dry,” SIG SAUER pistol silencers can also be used “wet” with an ablative material such as water. The rimfire silencer can be disassembled for easy cleaning, and the stainless baffles allow the silencer to be “dipped” into an ultrasonic cleaner, something not possible with aluminum baffle stacks.
