If you’re looking to complete your rifle with a truly combat-proven barrel, these barrels from FN America are built to perform in the most demanding environments worldwide.

Each barrel comes from 41V50 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel, which is either cold hammer forged or button-cut for improved consistency and longevity in combat.

“We are excited to kick off our recent FN America partnership with their high-quality line of AR-15 barrels,” says Aaron Whatley, Primary Arms’ Director of Merchandising. “These barrels are all chrome lined, high pressure tested and magnetic particle inspected, and machined with proven gas port values for reliable functionality.”

Real Avid Bore-Max Speed Clean System

Real Avid, the leader in DIY for Guns®, presents the Bore-Max Speed Clean System, a line of brushes, jags and patches innovatively designed as a significantly faster way to clean a bore with less effort. With the Speed Jag and Speed Jag Patch, expect the same results as pushing four or more traditional square patches in only one pass through the bore.

Bore-Max™ Speed Brushes™ – 2X More Crud Scrubbed

With twice the bristle density of standard brushes, Bore-Max Speed Brushes delivers over 2X the scrubbing power to the bore with each pass. The stiff and durable nickel-plated phosphor bronze bristles resist chemical breakdown in the bore to extend the life of the brush.

“In order to achieve maximize effectiveness, we found there needed to be an optimal balance between bristle density and bristle flexibility. In our testing, we recognized very quickly that having too few bristles was a waste of time and too many wouldn’t provide enough flexibility to navigate the lands and grooves of the bore,” commented Howard Tripp, Chief Innovation Officer. The bristle configuration of the Bore-Max Speed Brush is the result of finding that sweet spot, achieving maximum scrubbing density while retaining enough flexibility to effectively reach down into the lands and grooves, removing more carbon with each pass of the brush and getting maximum results faster.

In regard to nickel-plating, Tripp said, “Phosphor bronze has proven to be an ideal bristle material, with the exception of reacting poorly to bore-solvent. Nickel Electroplating these brushes solved that problem and increased their useful longevity as well.” Read more

SIG SAUER Introduces the SLX and SLH Series of Suppressors

NEWINGTON, N.H. – Born out of the current military requirements to deliver cutting-edge performance, SIG SAUER is proud to introduce the SLX and SLH series of suppressors. The advancement of the SLX and SLH series of suppressors was realized through the wholesale transition of the SIG SAUER product line to Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) resulting in the most innovative suppressor technology to date – the next generation of suppressors has arrived.’

“The commercial launch of the SLX and SLH suppressors has been highly anticipated due to the fact that these are the suppressors we developed exclusively for our Next Generation Squad Weapons program submission,” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc. “The DMLS manufacturing process of the SLX and SLH suppressors eliminates the drawbacks of welded baffles that historically presents design limitations for sound, flash, and the reduction of toxic fumes. Alternatively, the SLX and SLH suppressors are designed to not only withstand the rigors of the battlefield through its innovative monolithic design, but they are each optimized to dramatically reduce harmful toxic fumes and sound because of patented design features that can only be achieved through the non-traditional manufacturing processes.” Read more

Bob Blaine wins ABRA Nationals with Lapua Center-X Ammo

GW: Best .22 rimfire I’ve ever used, too. Exceptional consistency.

Sedalia, MO – Congratulations to Bob Blaine for winning Factory Class of the Auto-Benchrest Association (ABRA) 2021 Nationals. Blaine won using his blueprinted 10/22 target rifle firing Lapua Center-X ammunition. The Center-X was test-fired and matched to his platform at the Lapua Rifle Performance Center in Marengo, OH.

They tested several different lots of Center-X, allowed me to view group sizes at 50 and 100 meters simultaneously, and then helped identify the best performer in my platform. This gave me the confidence to succeed, knowing if I paid attention to the wind and range conditions, I could bring home the win. A game-changer for any rimfire competitor!” Read more

Peak 44 Introduces Blacktooth: The Lightest Production Carbon Fiber Rifle Stock

Sheridan, Wyo. – Introducing Peak 44™. New to the outdoor accessories market, Peak 44 is focused on delivering premium ultra lightweight products for backcountry hunters and adventurers. Their first offering to hit the market is the Blacktooth™ carbon fiber stock – the lightest production carbon fiber stock in the industry.

Starting at under 20 ounces, the Blacktooth is packed with cutting-edge features and materials, combining extreme light weight with recoil mitigation and one of the most stable bedding platforms ever devised for a stock this light.

To provide the benefits of an aluminum bedding block but without the bulk and weight, Peak 44 developed the patent-pending Rock Solid Carbon Link™ which, as the name implies, links the two side of the stock together and works in conjunction with a set of aluminum pillars, the RSCL engages the recoil lug of the action and allows Peak 44 to employ lighter weight materials than similar stocks, while having an incredibly stiff and stable platform into which rifles can be bedded. By orienting the fibers along the axis of their greatest strength, the RSCL is stronger than an aluminum bedding block while being a fraction of the weight. Read more

Weatherby Announces Backcountry 2.0 Family of Rifles

Following on the heels of the highly successful Weatherby® Mark V® Backcountry™ and Backcountry Ti, the next generation of this rifle family will hit dealer shelves in fall 2021. The updated Backcountry 2.0 and the all new Backcountry 2.0 Carbon models are equipped with a brand new carbon fiber stock that is the lightest in the industry. The Backcountry 2.0 Carbon adds a BSF® tensioned carbon fiber barrel as well as a hotter chambering previously not available in the Backcountry, the 30-378 WBY MAG — the fastest and flattest-shooting production .308 caliber cartridge.

An ultra-lightweight big game rifle, the Backcountry 2.0 Ti starts at just 4.7 lbs and much of the credit is owed to the new Blacktooth™ carbon fiber stock from Peak 44™, the lightest version of which tips the scales at under 20 ounces. This new Blacktooth stock features the Rock Solid Carbon Link™ bedding system which engages the recoil lug and evenly distributes recoil throughout the stock without the weight of a traditional aluminum bedding block, making the overall stock both lighter and stiffer.

Weights for all models depend on chambering:

Backcountry 2.0 – 5.3 lbs (308 Win) to 6.2 lbs (257 WBY MAG)

Backcountry 2.0 Ti – 4.7 lbs (308 Win) to 5.6 lbs (257 WBY MAG)

CCRKBA: Women Buying More Guns ’Not Surprising’

BELLEVUE, WA – A report in the Wall Street Journal showing that nearly half of all new gun buyers since January 2019 are women is not surprising, considering efforts to defund police agencies, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.

The WSJ report on the 2021 National Firearms Survey notes approximately 3.5 million women and 4 million men bought guns for the first time between 2019 and April of this year. Overall, the draft report suggests more than 81.4 million Americans over the age of 18 own firearms, translating to 31.9 percent of the adult population.

“We’ve known that women are the fastest-growing segment of the gun-buying public,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “We’re delighted to see so many women joining the firearms community, learning new skills, making new friends and taking more responsibility for their safety and the safety of their families.

“In the process,” he continued, “these new gun owners are learning more about their rights and responsibilities. We have always encouraged new gun owners to seek good safety instruction through local gun ranges or gun clubs so they can become both competent and confident.

“As a result,” he added, “we’re seeing more women joining our organization. They’re willing to fight to protect their newly-exercised gun rights, and we’re proud to have them on board.” Read more
