#Ar-15

During the SHOT Show 2018, KNS Precision has introduced the second generation of their AR15/M16 Spade Grip. As the name implies, it is a spade grip conversion for the AR-15 type rifles. The Spade Grip installs on an AR-15 rifle with removed pistol grip and links the trigger back to the spade grip.

The Big Freakin’ Cartridge Test’s first batch of 6 rounds is through, but there’s more to come. In the last post, we reflected on the test methodology, and some possible solutions. In this post, we’ll talk about what you can expect in the future.

We’ve seen how the 6 different .223 Remington and 5.56mm loads have fared in the Big Freakin’ Cartridge Test, but we still have more to talk about. Specifically, we need to discuss what I did wrong (or what I am not satisfied with), and what I plan to do next. This post will concern the former, and a second installment will cover the latter.

One only needs to spend a minute or two at the Lauer Weaponry/DuraCoat booth to instantly recognize why the company is absolutely thriving.

Competitive shooter Todd Jarrett introduces some brand new Blackhawk! slings and AR accessories with innovative features such as a QD sling swivel attachment point built into the sling, allowing it to convert from two point to single point.

Brownells breaks into the manufacturing market with a new line of Retro AR-15s. All rifles are 100% newly manufactured parts, and four models were debuted at SHOT Show’s Industry Day at the Range 2018.

TFBTV’s Corey Wardrop speaks with Monty Scott, PepperBall’s Director of Training, regarding several new products from the non-lethal company.

At a time when some manufacturers are creating cheaper “throw-away” pistols and rifles, one company happily creates a 1911 with an $85,000 pricetag.

New from American Tactical for 2018 is a conversion adapter that allows you to use 9mm Glock mags with your AR-15 lower. It’s made out of 6061-T6 Aluminum and locks into place via the AR-15 mag catch. The Glock mags are released by hitting a button on the bottom of the adapter.

Competitive shooter Patrick Kelley talks with us about the impressive new .224 Valkyrie and the new Savage AR-15 rifles chambered for .224 Valkyrie.

Triggertech makes innovative drop in triggers for AR-15 and Remington 700 rifles with click adjustable pull and dust resistance.

ProMag showed off their new drum mags for the AR-15, AK-47 and AR-10. In case you missed it they also just released a new Archangel stock that converts your standard Ruger 10/22 rifle into a take down. Not a whole lot of details have been released on their new mags but what we do know is their AR-15 drum mag will hold 65 rounds, their AK-47 drum mag will hold 50 round and their AR-10 (.308) drum mag will hold 50 rounds. I didn’t have official weights on the drum mags and I forgot my digital scale at home, but the mags did feel very lightweight.

While cruising the new product area at the 2018 SHOT Show I spotted a new gun safety product from the guys at Gun Guardian. They call it the Trigger Shield, it’s basically a replacement AR-15 grip that can fold backwards then slide over the trigger and lock into place. It completely covers the trigger housing preventing any access to the trigger.

I will confess, I’ve had a love affair with Unique-ARs for many years now.

Walking down the row of long-distance bolt action rifle displays, my husband and I were focused on allowing the participating manufacturers get set up for Industry Day at the Range tomorrow and trying to stay out of the way.
