In Class With Orion Applications Training Division

Monday, July 22nd, 2013

Daniel Defense recently sponsored a three-day event for the firearms press that included a course by Orion Applications Training Division. You may recognize the name ODG from their camouflage patterns we’ve covered here on SSD in the past. Turns out, they apply their knowledge in other ways as well. I was the only web-based writer invited to this event so it was a great opportunity for me to meet some of the guys in the gun press, familiarize myself with different Daniel Defense firearms and get a first hand look at training from ODG.

Day 1
Day 1 was administrative in nature and consisted of travel, a tour of the Daniel Defense factory and an icebreaker dinner with the other participants. We hit the hay having no idea what an exciting two days we had ahead of us.

Sneak Peek- Snake Hound Machine “Loudener”

Sunday, July 21st, 2013

Recently, when speaking with some friends in the suppressor business I said that if silencers were removed from NFA and made mandatory someone would be upset because the Government wouldn’t let them shoot loud guns. Well, suppressors aren’t mandatory equipment (yet) but some one has stepped up to make your guns louder. Snake Hound Machine’s new “Loudener” a concussion enhancing muzzle device, certainly turns your rifle up to 11.

Introducing the most obnoxious, ear-shattering, explosive muzzle device you can put on a gun. The “Loudener” is a specially designed single chamber brake that is made to allow the burning gases to expand before hitting the baffle causing the maximum pressure wave scaring dogs and children everywhere. Will be available in 5.56, AK, and 308.

Enfield Rifle Company

Thursday, July 11th, 2013

MERC415 left

The modern Enfield Rifle Company is a brand-new company located in Clayton, Georgia, and they just so happen to be big fans of ours. The first of their product line available is the MERC415 carbine, named as such due to it being an M4-style AR-15. The upper receiver is forged from T6 7075 A3 style aluminum and features M4 feed cuts, engraved T-marks, and a 16″ M4 profile barrel made from 4150 CMV steel, with a 1:7 twist. The lower receiver is also forged from T6 7075 aluminum and is mil 8625 type III hard coat anodized with a mil-sized 6-position buffer tube and rear receiver sling loop. The MERC415 is built to MERC’s own Mil-G.R.A.D.E. (Military-Government Requirements and Data Equivalent) standard. This is Enfield’s term to describe their firearms, built similarly to what is marketed as a mil-spec weapon, without any implications that its design follows the US Government Technical Data Package’s exact specifications.

Enfield Rifle Company has a great-looking website that is currently up-and-running, and features the full specifications of their MERC415 carbine, along with further explanation of the Mil-G.R.A.D.E. term, and how it differs from mil-spec. At the moment, MERC is currently seeking only one official dealer in each state due to overseas commitments, although the MERC415 can be directly ordered through the company and delivered to your FFL of choice.
