Ares Armor advises they will be releasing a version of their EFFIN-A Compensator or the .308/7.62mm breed of rifles. The previous .223/5.56mm version has built a loyal following among black rifle shooters because of its effectiveness at taming muzzle climb to shooter-specific standards with its unique “tuning” design. According to the Predator Intelligence Blog, though the first picture released was for the AR-1o platform in .308, you would be able to get an AK47 7.62×39 version as well. More information on the site, and numerous reviews and videos are available.

| Ares Armor EFFIN Compensator for AR-10 .308 |
Here I am, walking along amongst the Senate office buildings on Capitol Hill in the city of Washington, when what do I come up upon?
This CROWS was hard at work demonstrating its integrated capabilities to Congressional staffers.
Over the past few years there’s been a lot of work in the ammunition world to develop rounds that offer improved ballistics over 5.56 mm NATO yet can still be used in the Gene Stoner developed AR platform. The big draw to these new .30 rounds is that they offer increased range and hitting power over 5.56 but have a lower recoil than standard 7.62 loads.
We’ve seen 6.5 Grendel, 6.8, .300 Blackout as well as a few others. In case you hadn’t heard, 7.62×40 WT is Wilson Tactical’s entry into this weight class. As you can see, the round is based on a resized 5.56 case. This allows it to be used in a properly barreled AR-variant and the ammunition will work in a standard AR magazine but with fewer rounds per mag. In fact, the only unique requirement is a new barrel.
Its ballistic performance makes it an interesting choice for hunters as well as those who are looking for increased punch from their AR-platform. For example, from a 16-inch barrel, 7.62×40 WT 110-grain bullets offer around 2,400 fps.
Naturally, since Wilson Tactical developed the round, they are offering ammunition as well as full weapons in the caliber. They offer four different guns as well as five different ammo loads.
