After a hugely successful inaugural year of collaboration, EAA Corp will begin importing an expanded offering into the United States from the well-known Turkish manufacturer, ATA Arms. Last year saw the beginnings of EAA and ATA’s collaboration as EAA Corp began importing the NEO and SP lines of Shotguns in the latter part of 2017. The NEO and SP gained fan favorite status almost immediately due to their incredible quality and attainable price point.

The ATA Arms NEO line of shotguns are inertia operated, semi-automatic shotguns, available in 12GA, 20GA, and the increasingly popular 28GA. The NEO inertia system is an extremely clean and efficient system, comprised of only three primary parts. This gives the NEO shotgun a greatly reduced mass of parts and allows for the faster cycling and balance found only in a fine game shotgun. Classic quality meets modern functionality to produce a high performing and incredibly reliable firearm. Read more

Over the last few years, AR-style rifles chambered in 7.62 mm/.308 Win., have grown in popularity with various shooting communities. In fact, AR-10 rifles are one of the fastest growing segments in shooting sports, especially among those who build personal AR platforms. Unfortunately, while most AR-10 rifles are known for rugged reliability, they are also relatively heavy. As a result, many ardent shooters look to the 2A Armament Xanthos-Lite Receiver when building an AR-10 style rifle.

The Xanthos-Lite was developed in-house as a lightweight solution for users who seek quality design and functionality in a large-frame AR build. In addition to sharing common DPMS HIGH standard for rail height, allowing it to accept most standard accessories.

The receiver is machined from U.S.A. sourced 7075-T6 billet aluminum with a pocketed design that reduces weight and enhanced appearance. It also comes with an integrated and lightened trigger guard and the forward assist was also removed to bring the stripped upper and lower down to a mere 16 ounces of total weight. As a result, the 2A Armament Xanthos-Lite Receiver is up to 12 ounces lighter than most receivers. Read more

Akron, OH –– Krytos Industries launched a revolutionary titanium finishing process along with titanium slides for Glock handguns at the 2018 NRA Convention in Dallas, Texas on May 4th.  The new, patented finishing process, ArmorTiTM, allows titanium to be used for numerous applications (like handgun slides and frames) that were not previously possible as it eliminates galling and other friction and impact related issues inherent to titanium.
Through extensive testing with ArmorTiTM treated titanium components,  Krytos has shown that many handgun slides can be replaced with one made completely of titanium to reduce the overall weight of the handgun by 25% or more while maintaining its performance. With titanium weighing roughly 45% less than steel, the felt weight reduction is dramatic. For example, a factory Glock 19 (Gen 3) slide weighs 11.5 ounces while Krytos’s G19 slide weighs in at a mere 6.4 ounces. Further, all participants involved in testing reported that the increase in felt recoil was negligible, but did state that sight recovery on target was dramatically faster (this was attributed to increased slide velocity and reduced slide mass resulting in less “muzzle dip” upon returning to battery). The company’s first products to market, shipping now, are handgun slides for the Glock 17 and 19 (both offered with optional cuts for the Trijicon RMR®), titanium guide rods for the Glock 17 and 19, and bolt carriers for the AR-15 (.223/.556) and AR-10 (.308). All of Krytos’s titanium products are precision machined to exacting tolerances from solid billets of 6AL-4V, Grade 5 titanium and finished with their exclusive ArmorTiTM process for an extremely hard, black finish.
“This is an exciting time for our young company,” said the company’s President, Ben Cook. “We were overwhelmed by the reactions we received from attendees and our industry partners at the NRA Convention this year. ArmorTiTM has consistently amazed us with what it allows titanium to do and we truly believe it will change the face of material design considerations in the firearms industry and many others. ArmorTiTM was designed with aerospace and medical applications in mind, but since we are all firearms industry veterans, we couldn’t help but launch in this industry first. Using our team’s considerable industry experience, we have tested our products to extreme levels to ensure they live up to our standards, which are ridiculous.”
ArmorTiTM is a state-of-the-art process that involves a precisely-controlled, forced diffusion to harden titanium’s surface that results in a black finish with unparalleled durability, far surpassing anodizing and even PVD/DLC finishes on titanium. Through a diffusion process, ArmorTiTM only affects the surface layer of the titanium leaving its integrity and all of the most desirable properties of titanium intact at its core. ArmorTiTM allows titanium to now be used for applications it was not previously suited for due to titanium’s tendency to gall (a form of wear caused by friction welding between sliding surfaces) when sliding against another surface. ArmorTiTM completely eliminates any friction-related issues with titanium and dramatically improves titanium’s impact resistance while maintaining all of its most desirable properties. While the process itself is extremely different, aesthetically, ArmorTiTM produces a familiar black finish like those found on most modern polymer handgun slides.
Krytos’s titanium products available now are:

(FORT SMITH, Ark.) – Walther Arms, Inc. is now shipping PPS M2 packages with a brand-new Shield RMSc optic. The RMSc is a perfect fit for the slim profile of the PPS M2. The addition of the reflex mini sight enhances target acquisition while maintaining peripheral vision, yet allows the user to co-witness with factory iron sights. The RMSc is parallax free, and features a clear polymer optic lens that can withstand greater impact than products using glass optics. The PPS M2 slide is milled to accept the RMSc and will include a cover plate should the user ever desire to remove the optic.

“Incorporating a high-quality micro red-dot into the PPS M2 platform, without adding bulk to the gun, addresses the growing consumer interest in red-dot mounted carry pistols,” said Bret Vorhees, Director of Product Development at Walther Arms. “With quick target acquisition, co-witnessed iron sights, and maintaining a thin profile, the PPS M2 RMSc truly is the ultimate single stack carry option on the market.”
