San Tan Tactical – STT-15 Lower Receiver

Tuesday, July 8th, 2014

San Tan Tactical’s STT-15 was developed as a truly ambidextrous AR-15 lower. The STT-15 is machined from a billet of 7075-T651 aluminum and finished in Mil-Spec, MIL-A-8625 Type III hard anodizing. The STT-15 can be further customized from a selection of selector switches, take down pins, geissele triggers, butt stocks, and cerakoted finishes.

We had an original production model, and the current version is a major improvement in that they really tightened up the tolerances and improved the ambi parts. I like it…a lot.

Mudge Smash Monday – DoD Pistol Calibers

Monday, July 7th, 2014

The Army keeps rumbling that it is going to undertake what others have failed to do, select a new sidearm. Both SOCOM and the US Air Force have started new pistol programs that were later dropped virtually, before they began. This time, the Army wants to look at calibers other than 9mm. Few things get Mudge more worked up than the age old 9mm vs .45 debate so we’ll see if we can get him to go thermo-nuclear. Let’s open the argument up to every pistol caliber.

What say you? Which caliber do you think DoD should adopt? My money is on status qou, caliber, pistol and all. Even that crappy Blackhawk holster.

New Zealand Defence Force Receives Government Approval To Replace AUG

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2014

New Zealand Defence Minister Jonathan Colemon announced that the New Zealand Defence Force has received government approval to replace the Steyr AUG currently in service with up to 8800 new rifles.

A competitive tender will be conducted to purchase an off-the-shelf replacement. The NZDM is currently seeking a rifle capable of being optimized for a variety of situations, one that offers consistency in fire from close quarters to out to 500m in daylight conditions, half that in low light. According to a 2011 Ministry of Defence report, operations in Afghanistan showed that the AUG was ineffective at ranges greater than 200m, and it was difficult to accurately identify adversaries.

The NZDF has already introduced new light machine guns, combat shotguns, and marksman rifles into service. Future projects would consider replacements for the current pistols, sniper rifles, and grenade launchers.
