AG Composites – More Than the Average Custom Stock

OWENS CROSS ROADS, AL (March 7, 2023) —In this world of mass production, where automated, computerized production helps cut costs and increase the precision of the components being manufactured, consumers often end up with products that are just the same as everyone else’s. That’s not a bad thing when we’re talking about auto parts, but when it comes to your rifle’s stock, having something that has been finished by hand will give it a unique, one-of-a-kind look that engenders a sense of pride of ownership not found in mass-produced stocks.

AG Composites, a veteran-owned company that designs and manufactures advanced composite products, combines the best of both worlds – advanced computerized design and manufacture with hand finishing – to produce the world’s finest composite rifle stocks, each with a unique look.

“AG Composites is a company built on technology using modern design software from Solidworks and AutoDesk to create Computer Aided Design (CAD) models of every stock we manufacture,” said Matt Tandy, AG Composites owner. “At the same time, 90 percent of the work on every AG Composite stock is hands-on craftmanship. We rely on the skills of our stock finishers to give each stock a unique look. For example, each stock is hand painted and, although they need to be consistent in the pattern, I can tell which of our employees painted each stock, as they all have their own unique style. The result is a unique look that our customers love.

“At AG Composites, our design engineers bring their aerospace industry CAD modeling experience to every stock we design,” continued Tandy. “In addition, we use only the highest-quality carbon fiber, epoxy, and paint products to manufacture our premium line of composite rifle stocks. “Our proprietary manufacturing process is the ‘secret sauce’ behind our ability to produce best-in-class stocks with delivery times that are a fraction of our competitors. Consistency, efficiency, cost control, and frequent quality control checks are the primary drivers of each step of our manufacturing process. Our goal is to give our customers outstanding value and superior performance and be the best in the business.” Read more

Krieghoff Gun of the Year 2023 ‘Buffalo Jump’

Each year Krieghoff selects an iconic theme for the Gun of the Year to be engraved by some of the best European Master Engravers. Krieghoff then reveals the year’s “Gun of the Year” at the IWA Outdoor Classic in Nuremberg Germany, and the results are always spectacular.

The Krieghoff Gun of the Year 2023 “Buffalo Jump” honors a Native American hunting tradition. Named after the cliffs that played a vital part in their hunting success, the K-80/S engraved by Creative Art features historic hunting scenes rendered in remarkable detail and grace.

Creative Art places you in the hunt so realistically you can feel the thundering of hooves and the adrenaline of the hunt. The receiver sides of the K-80/S portray the Native American braves driving the bison towards the “Buffalo Jump”. Each hunter displays their expert horsemanship as they charge on their mounts toward the gathering herd. Some ride reinless while releasing arrows and waving their bows to direct the herd to the cliffs. Caught up in the frenzy, one horse rears wildly, his skilled rider maintains focus and charges forward. A wizened Chief and young brave supervise the hunt across both the expanded side plates on each side of the receiver. Read more

Silencer Shop and ASA-F Fight to Restore Illinois’ Suppressor Rights

Silencer Shop and the American Suppressor Association Foundation (ASA-F) have teamed up to fight back against an unconstitutional ban on suppressors. Illinois has had a long-standing ban on the sale and possession of silencers, limiting law-abiding citizens’ second amendment right to bear arms and to protect the hearing of themselves and others. Illinois is one of only eight states with a silencer ban in place, but that may change soon thanks to the combined effort of Silencer Shop and the ASA-F.

After the groundbreaking New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen decision in 2022 asserted that the state must demonstrate that the ban is consistent with “the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.” other state gun laws are being examined through the same lens. Our Lawsuit alleges that there is no historical tradition for banning safety equipment and that silencers make firearms safer. Read more
