<p><strong>BRP Corporation Introduces New STG 34k Machine Gun</strong></p>



<p>BRP Corporation has just introduced their newest Stemple Takedown Gun (STG), the STG 34k, and features complete new parts packages that are be installed on unmodified/transferable Stemple 76/45 machine gun receiver tubes. The set-up is assembled using an AK underfolding or fixed stock, Swedish M37/Suomi M31 components, newly manufactured Stemple-compatible parts and MG 34 fire-control parts with the same select-fire trigger system. Selecting semi or fully automatic fire is simply done by moving your trigger finger to the top or bottom of the “W” shaped trigger. Pulling the upper “E” position on the trigger enables semiautomatic fire; pulling the lower “D” position enables full auto fire. There are “takedown” systems of interlocking subassemblies that can be easily attached or removed from the 76/45 receiver. This method of assembly is ATF approved. The Stemple 76/45 machine guns are fully transferable to individuals. The gun weighs just 10 pounds. It uses Suomi KP 31 25, 36 or 60-round magazines as well as 40 and 70-round drums. Sights are co-witnessing along a full length Picatinny rail. The gun’s foregrip also has a three sided rail system. The finished gun features an 8.5 inch barrel that is threaded 1/2&#215;28 for a suppressor and fires at a cyclic rate of 750 rpm. The finish of the steel parts is black oxide and the aluminum parts are black anodized. For more information please contact BRP Corporation, Dept. SAR, 7590 Commerce Lane, Clinton, MD 20735.

<p><strong>TangoDown Vertical Grip Now Available with QD Lock Lever</strong></p>



<p>TangoDown’s vertical foregrips are already the choice of real-world professionals because of their ergonomic design, waterproof internal compartment and patented switch pockets for Insight and SureFire pressure switches. Now TangoDown’s battle-tested grips will be available with a self-locking, quick-detach attachment, featuring a Lock-Lever mount, making the grips fast to mount onto a Mil-Std 1913 accessory rail. The Lock-Lever mount is a throw-lever style mount in which a lever pivots side-to-side to securely lock the mount’s clamp bar onto an M1913 rail. However, unlike other brands of lever mounts, the Lock-Lever requires no tools to adjust and locks itself automatically when pressed shut. The Lock-Lever mount, made by American Defense Mfg. to TangoDown’s specifications, is CNC machined from aerospace-grade aluminum and features a stainless steel cross pin nut and spring-tensioned clamp bar. The clamp bar is quickly and easily adjusted for the correct tension on the rail by simply pressing on the Lock-Lever itself to expose a nut that is turned by mere finger pressure to adjust. No tools whatsoever are needed and adjustments take only seconds, yet are rock-solid. TangoDown’s Lock-Lever mount is available on both the full-size vertical foregrip and the “shorty” version, made for maximum compactness. The grips retain TangoDown’s patented recessed pockets for either Insight or SureFire pressure switches and are available in flat dark earth, foliage green or flat black. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $85. For more information contact TangoDown LLC, Dept. SAR, 1588 Arrow Highway, Unit F, La Verne, CA 91750. Phone: (909) 392-4757. Fax: (909) 392-4802.

<p><strong>New SureFire X400 LED WeaponLight</strong></p>



<p>The SureFire X400 is a rugged LED WeaponLight with a powerful, fully integrated red laser sight. Its versatile beam and highly visible laser make it an excellent choice for both close and longer range applications. The X400’s solid-state LED, which has no filament to burn out or break from the effects of recoil, generates 110 lumens of blinding light and continues producing tactical-level light (enough to overwhelm the night-adapted vision of an aggressor) for 2.4 hours on a set of batteries. The X400’s unique Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens gathers virtually all of the LED’s light and forms a tightly focused beam that reaches far into the darkness but has enough surround beam to accommodate a user’s peripheral vision. At 635 nanometers, the X400’s laser sight is one of the most powerful available to the general public. Its shorter wavelengths make it nearly twice as bright as the nearest competitor’s laser sight, which means it’s more visible to the human eye and easier to track at longer distances. The laser’s sighting adjustment uses Nylok screws, which won’t back out or loosen from the effects of recoil, so the X400 rarely needs to be re-zeroed even after extended use. A tough, hard-anodized aerospace-grade aluminum body protects the X400’s electronics, and a tempered Pyrex window covers its TIR lens and LED. O-ring seals and gaskets keep out dust, dirt, propellant residue, and moisture. Ambidextrous switching makes it easy to operate the X400 with either hand, and remote switching for many weapons is available for precise control without altering your grip on the weapon. The X400 slides onto most handguns with Universal Standard accessory rails and fits many guns without rails via a SureFire rail adapter. It can also be mounted on long guns sporting a Mil-Spec Picatinny rail. For more information, please contact SureFire LLC, Dept. SAR, 18300 Mount Baldy Circle, Fountain Valley, CA 92708. Phone: (714) 545-9444. Fax: (714) 545-9537. On the web at <a href="https://www.surefire.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.surefire.com</a>.</p>

<p><strong>LaserLyte Introduces New Universal QD Rail Mount System</strong></p>



<p>LaserLyte, the leader in laser technology, introduces the new and innovative Quick Detachable (QD) Universal Rail Mount System that attaches quickly and securely onto all 3-inch barrel sub-compact pistols with rails and all other weapons with rail systems. The system is 50 percent smaller than previous versions and features an ambidextrous slide switch that allows the operator to activate the laser from the left or right side. Constructed of T6 aluminum for extra strength and durability, the QD Universal Rail Mount System weighs .9 ounces and is available with the reliable 650nm laser module (maximum range of 500 yards at night). The proven round body design can easily adapt to an optional remote switch for long gun mounting. The new low profile design will fit into almost any nylon holster. This product’s small profile, quick detachable features and ambidextrous switch make it one of the most user-friendly sighting systems available. MSRP is just $99.95.

<p><strong>Japanese T96 and T99 Magazines from J&amp;G Machine Service</strong></p>



<p>J&amp;G Machine Service has announced new Japanese T96 and T99 light machine gun magazines. They are intended for the shooter, not as a reproduction for the original Japanese magazine. Each magazine is individually cut from steel plate, hand formed and fitted, welded, hand finished and blued. Every magazine has been test fired for fit and function. J&amp;G Machine Service guarantees each magazine: “Satisfaction Guaranteed.” Both magazine models weigh a little more than their original Japanese magazine counterpart due tothe use of plate steel. In tests, the 30-round magazines functioned flawlessly. The Type 99 magazine is for the 7.7x58mm cartridge, while the Type 96 is for the 6.5x50mm round. Why risk damaging an original $1,000 magazine when you can now use J&amp;G Machine Service’s $180 (postage paid) shooter’s magazine instead. For information or to place an order, please contact J&amp;G Machine Service, Dept. SAR, PO Box 10, Congress, AZ 85332. Reach them by phone: (928) 427-3180. Email: AZGUNSO@yahoo.com.</p>

<p><strong>GG&amp;G Introduces New Back Up Iron Sight</strong></p>



<p>The New GG&amp;G A2 Spring Actuated Back Up Iron Sight (BUIS) represents the latest innovation in BUIS products. Many operators requested a BUIS that would deploy with just the push of a button and GG&amp;G delivered. The unique and proprietary design of the spring actuated mechanism captivates the actuator spring and mechanical components, preventing adverse environmental contact. The revolutionary design ensures reliability and long life of a critical component. The superior new design of the A2 Spring Actuated BUIS provides the operator the ability to activate the push button with the non fire control hand ensuring the user a tactical advantage under any condition. The locking mechanism functions for both the raised and lowered position, completely eliminating the potential of accidentally raising or lowering the sight and providing a low profile stance when lowered to allow the use of most optics. When properly mounted, the A2 Spring Actuated BUIS can be used to co-witness with most red dot and holographic sighting systems. In the unfortunate event of a electro-optic failure, the A2 Spring Actuated BUIS will deploy rapidly and securely. Standard A2 double peep aperture and windage knob allows for known point of impact by the end user. Optional XS same plane aperture or Trijicon Tritium Apertures are available by request. The mount body and sight stem are manufactured from solid billet 6061 T6 Aluminum, Type III hard anodized matte black. Steel components are Matte Black Manganese Phosphated and all finishes are per Mil-Spec. For more information, or to order the A2 Spring Actuated BUIS or any other of their fine products, please contact them at GG&amp;G, Dept. SAR, 3602 East 42nd Strave, Tucson, AZ 85713.

<p><strong>Buffer Technologies Introduces New AR-10 Buffer</strong></p>



<p>Buffer Technologies is expanding its line of high-quality tactical components with the addition of a hydraulic AR-10 buffer from Enidine, Inc. The new hydraulic AR- 10 buffer is an improvement over the weapon’s standard metal tube buffer. It dramatically reduces felt recoil and helps shooters maintain accuracy by suppressing bolt bounce and muzzle flip. It also helps protect optics by reducing shock to the delicate instruments. The Enidine buffer replaces the standard buffer assembly in the AR-10, but shooters retain their stock and buffer spring. The buffer has been engineered for an easy installation that doesn’t require any special tools or gunsmithing. The new AR-10 buffer is made from anodized steel with a corrosionprotection finish. Buffer Technologies also offers the AR-Restor, Enidine’s hydraulic buffer for both carbine and full stock AR- 15s. Enidine is a market leader in hydraulic energy absorbers for the industrial, aerospace and defense industries. Its hydraulic recoil buffers are used by the U.S. military and NATO forces for automatic weapons. For more information on this as well as their outstanding line of accessories and firearms buffers, please contact them at Buffer Technologies, Dept. SAR, P.O. Box 105047, Jefferson City, MO 65110.

<p><strong>Sabre Defense Introduces New M2 and MK19 Tools</strong></p>



<p>Sabre Defense Industries, a prime contractor to the United States military as a supplier of ordnance systems and components, is proud to introduce a simple solution for reducing breakdown time on M2s and MK19s while preventing potential personal injury; the M2 Tool and MK19 Tool. Simple disassembly and reassembly of an M2 or MK19 can be time consuming especially when in the field where every minute of response time is precious to the safety of the operator and his team. Throw in cold weather and wearing gloves and loosening a bolt with a standard wrench becomes near impossible. The Sabre M2 Tool is the perfect size for loosening and removing bolts and adjusts the timing without having to remove gloves. The M2 Tool makes removal of the drive rod spring easy and a special end sets the headspace gap and buffer body release pin. The Sabre MK19 Took allows the operator to hold down the sear to remove the bolt while preventing injury to the operator’s thumb. A pry end removes charging handles, aligns the slide and pin for the back plate. A builtin hammer can be used to remove the secondary drive lever. Both Sabre tools have been developed and tested with combat troops in mind.

<p>By <strong>Dan Shea</strong><br><br>There have been four basic “Waves” of Special Occupational Taxpayers (SOT) since the National Firearms Act of 1934. While dealers may have come into the business at similar times, this description does not categorize them with other SOTs from the same era, this is simply to put some familiar names into a time perspective.<br><br>The “First Wave” was the few SOTs from 1934 to the early 1970s- J. Curtis Earl, William Vallerand, Military Armament Corporation and Dolf Goldsmith would be examples from that era. The “Second Wave” would include up to around 1982 or so- including AWC (Doc Dater), DLO Manufacturing, Jonathan Arthur Ciener, Reed Knight, Law Enforcement Ordnance Co, Bob Landies, LMO, Kent Lomont, RPB, SWD, and many others. The “Third Wave” was a major influx of dealers and manufacturers that happened in 1982-1988. Many familiar names came into the business at that time, including AWC Systems Technology, Fleming Firearms, S&amp;H Arms, Catco and F.J. Volmer. Many of the 4500 SOTs in that period dropped their SOT status when in January 1988 we were all assessed a new tax level- from $200 per year to $500 per year, and we were billed mid year. In the following year, SOTs dropped to around 2000. The “Fourth Wave” occurred in the years from 1988 to date- it has been a cycle of new dealers and manufacturers coming in and going out, with a few sticking around for the long term. Like any other business, the Class 3 community has a turn over rate as people’s ideas either work, or don’t work, based on their reception in the marketplace.<br><br>DLO Manufacturing (Douglas Lawrence Oefinger) was a Class 2 manufacturer from the “Second Wave” of Class 2. DLO employed 2 workers other than Doug for approximately 4 years. Doug Oefinger’s contributions to the Class 3 community have been impressive. He has a somewhat combative personality and sticks up for his beliefs at all levels- and is quick to point out that to this date, he has proven his points. I have been friends with Doug for many years, and have interviewed him several times in relation to the laws that we deal with every day.<br><br>In a conversation some time ago, I suggested that the production numbers of various Class 2 manufacturers who impacted on the Class 3 community would be of great interest to SAR’s readers, and good for our historical record. Doug agreed, and he gave us his production numbers- approximates, to keep the records “Right”.<br><br>In the hopes of inspiring the rest of the Class 2s to do likewise, SAR presents the DLO Manufacturing production amounts.<br><br>All numbers are approximate, and came from Doug Oefinger as such; he did a general count, not a full item-by-item count. One other item of note, is that Doug has a longstanding Buyback Policy- DLO will purchase their machine guns back at the full price that a machine gun was purchased from DLO, once it has been three years since it was purchased from them. This is on a case by case basis, with the current NFA legal structure.<br><br>The transferable machine guns were manufactured from 1977 to 1986.<br><br><strong>Transferable machine guns manufactured by DLO.</strong><br><br>65 Water cooled Browning blued Commercial covering both the N.E. Westinghouse and Remington marked guns. These were Belgian Rust Blued by hand.<br><br>150 1917A1 Water Cooled Brownings, with either a bronze or steel trunion and end cap. Parkerized finish, 30-06 only.<br><br>65 MG-40 Browning machine guns- parkerized, mostly in 30-06, a few in 8mm. These were Colt Commercials originally in 7mm, bored to 30-06, and found in the UK in the early 1980s.<br><br>20 M37 Browning machine guns, all in 30-06. Ten were made for the Mini-Series “Amerika” with right hand feeds to mimic Soviet beltfeds. Ten were made for a commercial contract.<br><br>635 1919A4 Browning machine guns, all parkerized, 30-06 and 308 caliber.<br><br>4 M2 .50 caliber Browning machine guns, parkerized, welded up in the late 1970s.<br><br>25 Uzi submachine guns, all registered receiver conversions, Parkerized, 9mm. These registered receivers were converted by removing the semi auto receiver rail/ block, most had IMI Open bolts, a few had the semi auto bolts converted to open bolt.<br><br>1000 Sten MKII submachine guns, 9mm, all parkerized. Some left DLO suppressed, and almost all had loop style stocks, a few had tube/ tee stocks.<br><br>60 AK Registered Receiver conversions of both stamped and milled receivers, all 7.62&#215;39 caliber<br><br>10 AK Registered Trigger packs. Serial Numbers AK01-AK10. These were disallowed at first, then Technology Branch ATF accepted them, as installed in host firearms.<br><br>10 Soviet SVT to SVT Automatics (Select fire), with wide trigger guards.<br><br>2 MG08 Maxim guns.<br><br>1 MG08/15 Maxim gun.<br><br>250 Conversions, assorted, all makes and models. This number also includes registered Short Barreled Rifles, Short Barreled Shotguns, Smooth Bored Pistols, AOWs.<br><br><strong>Pre-86 Dealer Sample machine guns imported by DLO:</strong><br><br>4 L4A1 “Bren” reworked, new in 308 caliber, done in the mid 1980s<br><br>75 AKM-56-1 Chinese export models, imported 1980-81.
