With the rise of 6mm ARC, we’ve been asked many questions on what it takes to get started shooting and if the round is perhaps overhyped. To learn more, we reached out to Eric Lee, owner of Sgt of Arms, who is building high-quality, competition-winning ARs, many of which are chambered in 6mm ARC.
When researching respected, high-quality, yet affordable barrels for the AR platform, one name that pops up continuously is Rosco Manufacturing. Known for years as a dependable OEM manufacturer, the company also offers its Bloodline, Purebred, and very recently, it’s new K9 line of barrels. To learn more about the company and the barrels it offers, we reached out to Rosco’s Tiberious Giblin.
We recently sat down with Gabriel Cabrera at Cobalt Kinetics to discuss the company’s recent rebirth and its focus on high-quality ARs. We learned about some features that make Cobalt Kinetics rifles different from the competition and the recent launch of its A5-CK buffer system, which was developed in conjunction with VLTOR.
After our recent article we did on the Riflespeed gas system, Kyle Lynch from Riflespeed was kind enough to send us one of his complete upper receiver assemblies. We took the upper to the range and shot a few different types of ammo at different settings suppressed and unsuppressed.
Forward Controls Design recently partnered with Sons of Liberty for their billet LRF lower receiver. But did you know there is another FCD lower on the market – at least temporarily. Collaborating with Evolve Weapons Systems, a limited run of FCD forged receivers is set to launch. To learn more, we reached out to FCD, Evolve, and SOLGW.
We recently sat down with Chris from clonerifles.com to learn more about the state of building clone ARs in 2022, his take on the cloning community and its reputation, as well as a bit about the website’s background, what parts are getting hard to find, and some details on his upcoming clone shoot later this year.
Has the AR-15 and 5.56 been made obsolete with the announcement of the Army’s adoption of the Sig XM5 and the 6.8 x 51mm cartridge? Are criticisms about size, weight and capacity valid, or is that an overly simplistic view? We reached out to Frank Woods of TASKER Network to discuss his primer on the topic, ‘SIG XM5 & 6.8x 51 for Dummies,’ which is a deep dive on the Army’s recent adoption…
We recently sat down with Jay from PEW Science to discuss his attempt to push the suppressor industry forward, and what we should consider before purchasing a suppressor for our AR.
We recently sat down with Alex Bohl from Trajectory Arms to discuss how you can avoid common and costly mistakes when building an AR-15. As a professional builder, Alex knows his way around the AR-15, and has a unique perspective on the tools and parts needed to successfully build a hard-use AR.
Despite what you might have been lead to believe, building an AR-15 isn’t like building Legos. How do you know when you should attempt to do something yourself versus reaching out to a professional to do the work for you?
