Rosco Manufacturing Unveils New “Purebred” Precision Barrel Series

December 5th, 2017

December 4th, 2017: Rosco Manufacturing; a proud American manufacturer of high quality gun barrels is proud to announce the launch of their newest line of precision barrels titled The Purebred Series.

Rosco is a manufacturer that produces barrels for some of the biggest gun makers in the industry within their Central Falls, R.I. facility. Rosco has recently focused their talents and years of expertise to produce commercially available barrels that challenge what is currently found in the market.

Purebred Series:

Rosco Manufacturing’s “Purebred” series is a testament to precision and quality manufacturing. We took a step back to see how we could create a barrel line that would be a culmination of all the lessons learned through years of making barrels for our OEM’s. The result is a barrel that will produce 1 MOA results out of the box for any shooter looking to take their skills above and beyond.

Our Purebred barrels are made from scratch in our Rhode Island facility and start life as a blank piece of 416R stainless steel. The blanks are then rifled using our proprietary “Rifling & Polishing method” (which produces a lapped smooth surface finish) before they are mated to their polished Nickel Boron extensions.

Aside from making our own barrel blanks, and barrel extensions, we also hold ourselves to the most stringent quality and performance standards. This is the only way that we can make sure that we are producing a product that will perform time after time under the most demanding conditions. We are setting out to re-define the rules and we plan on letting our work do the talking. Preliminary barrels offered will be in .223 Wylde, & .300 BLK. Options to come soon are .224 Valkyrie, 6.5 Creedmoor, .260 Remington, 6mm Creedmoor, .243 Winchester, & .308 Winchester.

“With the success of our Bloodline barrels we felt that it was time to start raising the bar in other categories of the shooting world as well.”, “Our Purebred barrels will be an example of what can be accomplished when you take your time and manufacture a product using the right information coupled with keeping all aspects of production in house. We hope to put an end to the popular trend of farming out a product to then just slap a name on the side.” – Gabriel Cabrera Marketing & Sales Director for Rosco Manufacturing.

Arc’teryx Releases Advisory Notice for Both 20L and 30L Voltair Avalanche Airbags

December 5th, 2017

We just received this note from Arc’teryx.

Today, Arc’teryx is announcing an advisory notice for both 20L and 30L Voltair Avalanche Airbags.

Our quality control team has recently discovered an issue with our battery which affects its proper deployment at extremely cold temperatures due to an unanticipated change during battery production. This change impacts the proper deployment of the airbag when the battery is exposed to temperatures below -20°C (-4°F). Due to this change, we are revising the minimum operating temperature limit for Voltair Airbags from -30°C (-22°F) to -20°C (-4°F). No other parts of the Voltair Airbag have been affected by this change.

We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. With the newly stated temperature limit of -20°C (-4°F), we are confident the airbag is still a great solution for your backcountry adventures.

You have two options:

Option 1 – Keep my pack.
If you wish to continue using your Voltair Airbag, understanding the revised minimum operating temperature of -20°C (-4°F), we request that you submit an online warranty form, sign a release form and receive instructions to relabel your pack. To compensate you, we will send you an arcteryx.com Gift Card for $250CAD ($200USD/22,240JPY) good for two years upon receipt.

Option 2 – Return my pack.
If you are not satis ed with the revised minimum operating temperature of -20°C (-4°F), Arc’teryx will offer you a full refund. To compensate you, we will send you an arcteryx.com Gift Card for $250CAD ($200USD/22,240JPY) good for two years upon receipt.

If you have any questions regarding this issue, please contact our customer service team at 1-866-458-2473.

Warren Innovative Technologies – 3D Printed Suppressor Wrenches

December 5th, 2017

The Problem:

The Silencerco Octane/Omega 9K piston and fixed mounts are not compatible with conventional tools and cannot be adequately tightened or loosened by hand. This is also true about the Dead Air Wolf-9SD and Ghost suppressors. In the case of the 13.5mmX1LH fixed and piston mounts, the barrel thread is left-handed and the suppressor body attaches to the mount with a right-hand thread. Rocksett can be used to solve this, but that makes frequent changing of the different mounts a challenge.

I recommend against doing a 3-lug mount arrangement, as the mechanism takes up blast chamber volume, which makes the suppressor considerably louder than with a direct-thread mount, which is what I recommend for the MPX. However, people usually say they use a 3-lug to prevent loosening of the suppressor from the weapon, which can happen with a direct-thread mount if adequate torque is not applied.

I would only use the piston system for pistols and not use a piston with a fixed barrel spacer on an MPX, as this arrangement is also louder than a direct thread mount, but you have no choice but to use a piston mount on a pistol.

F8D06A5A-2EBD-455C-AFB0-95BB9B5F766A

The Solution:

I have 3D modeled and 3D printed a wrench that interfaces with the Octane/Omega 9K direct thread/piston mounts. Silencerco does not make a wrench for these. I also now have one for the Dead Air Wolf-9SD and Ghost suppressors. My wrench is a high-strength PLA polymer material that will break if way too much torque is applied, but if you torque it on with the wrench without a lot of Rocksett, it should torque back off without problems (a very small amount of Rocksett is fine). This wrench is critical for torqueing to the left onto the barrel and then for isolating the mount from the right-hand torque applied to install the suppressor body to the mount.

Easily transitioning between piston and fixed mounts is now possible for the Octane/Omega 9K.
