We all know that many payment systems have refused to do business with law abiding businesses in the firearms industry as well as individuals making legal purchases. John Hwang, founder of Rainier Arms and TRIGRRCON, has been working on a peer to peer payment system for the firearms industry for nearly five years and feels they are getting closer and closer to the solution.

He says they tried partnering with payment provide Pistol Pay but the payment processor pulled the plug because they didn’t like the exposure. Consequently, they decided to build our own in order to fill this need.

www.armspay.com is the peer to peer payment solution.

www.revolvr.com will be the peer to peer market place.

Mega Machine Shop, whose forged AR 15 upper and lower receivers are popular with black rifle enthusiasts has just released its new billet AR-15 lower receiver.

Many feel there are advantages to the billet method of production which is essentially machining a block of alloy from scratch and dimensional inconsistencies can be avoided which sometimes occur with the forging method, in which the receiver is hammered into shape while heated.

Rainier Arms currently has the billet lower available for $175.00
