New Timney AR-10 Trigger

On the heels of the 2007 release of the highly anticipated and wildly successful AR-15 replacement trigger, Timney Triggers now offers another true drop-in trigger for the AR rifle platform. The new AR-10 trigger by Timney is a design created in conjunction with Frank Desomma of POF-USA, manufacturers of the popular P-415 & P-416 Gas Piston AR rifles. The Timney AR-10 trigger is a self-contained, 100% drop-in unit ready to install in an AR-10 rifle for an exceptionally smooth, crisp, single-stage trigger pull. No gunsmithing, fitting, or adjusting is required. Pull weight is factory set at 4 pounds. The lightweight 6061 T6 alloy housing is anodized for superior durability. Hammer is EDM machined from S7 tool steel that combines hardness to resist wear with superior impact resistance to withstand heavy use without chipping or breaking. Finally, a Teflon Nickel coating is applied to the hammer to deliver a super smooth trigger pull with superior lubricity. Other components are EDM cut from A2 tool steel, then heat treated to Rc 56-60 for longer service life. The trigger module installs using your rifle’s original hammer/trigger pins and the proprietary design eliminates pin rotation and walkout. Timney Triggers offer the rifle shooter a convenient way to shop online. Customers can now order the model they want, with the options they want, and request it factory tuned to the pull weight desired.

DoubleStar Introduces New Gas Blocks for AR-15/M16 Rifles

DoubleStar now has three new gas blocks for the AR-15/M16 series of rifles. They say that the new gas blocks are lighter and studier than anything on the market today. The trio includes a two-piece two rail, a one-piece four-rail and a low-profile block. Each is especially suited to the needs of individual shooters, and all are more rugged and durable than what have previously been available. The two-piece and four-piece blocks are made of standard 6061 T6 aircraft-grade aluminum with a hard coat anodized finish for a lighter weight. Each has 1913 Picatinny rail systems to accept accessory attachments. The four-rail system is securely held in place with three sets of screws, rather than the typical two. The screw sets – two on the bottom and one on top – ensure a perfect gas seal. The four-piece system is made to fit .750 inch diameter barrels and retails for $64.95. The two piece gas block is easily and securely installed with four socket head machine screws. It is available for a .750 inch diameter barrel or a .625 inch diameter A1 barrel, and retails for $64.95. DoubleStar’s low-profile gas block is made from 1018 steel and mil-spec parkerized, yet maintains a light weight. Designed for shooters who always use a scope, the low-profile gas block replaces the front sight and retails for $38.95. To find out more, contact them at DoubleStar, J&T Distributing, Dept.

New M-230 Kit for the 1919A4 from TNW Firearms

Have you ever wondered what the ever reliable Browning 1919 machine gun would have looked like if it had continued in development and evolved past the A6 variant? The skunkworks design team of TNW Firearms, Inc. – Mark Eschenbacher, Dennis Gann and Tim Bero – have projected the form and function into a readily adaptable kit that converts any semi or full auto 1919 into a modern mobile squad weapon. The system consists of a lightened .308 barrel with flash hider, innovative front shroud assembly with threaded mounting holes, custom rails, bipod and folding carry handle. Other features include an improved front sight, FN style buttstock assembly and FN style pistol grip assembly with safety. The weapon retains the ability to be fired from a tripod or pedestal. The upgrade takes about twenty minutes to install and requires no permanent modifications to your 1919. The front shroud assembly has a top cover that swings up for quick and easy barrel changes. The barrel of the new system is lightened and shortened to 16 inches. By doing this there is no longer a need for a barrel booster. The custom Picatinny rails on the top, bottom and sides of the front shroud give the user the ability to add optics, front vertical grips, lights, lasers or other accessories. The kit makes the standard 1919A4 look much like an M- 240 GPMG.

Heavy Duty 7-Position CAR Stock from Ace Limited USA 

Ace Limited USA has introduced a new Heavy Duty 7-position stock for the AR-15/M16 series of rifles. The new stock is without a doubt the strongest MOD stock available for the AR rifle. Current issue CAR or M4 adjustable MOD stocks have one fatal design flaw. The receiver extension tube is weak. The exposed threads and keyway create stress risers that greatly reduce the strength of the GI receiver extension tube. If a fully loaded M4 or M16 is dropped at an angle and the receiver extension tube is bent even slightly, the bolt carrier will get stuck in the receiver extension tube when the first round is fired. Worse, the carrier will be stuck in such a way that the rifle cannot be field stripped to correct the malfunction. In a military or police situation this could be fatal. This new stock solves this inherent problem. This stock features the strongest receiver extension tube available and also includes features such as machine tapered gussets that reinforce the lower receiver, adjustable screw-in stops that allow repeat adjustment to the same position very time in any conditions and four sling positions. The stock also has laser etched delineation marks to ensure a visual confirmation of your stock’s adjustment. Adjustable shim screws in the receiver extension tube allow all slop and rattle to be eliminated from the stock. The heavy-duty receiver extension tube can also be ordered separately for use with your existing stock. This is also the perfect stock for the .308 guns out there. This is another “must have” item from the company that is known for their stocks and stock adapters. For more information, or to place on order, please contact ACE Limited USA, Dept. SAR, P.O. Box 191, Chicago Park, CA 95712. Phone: (530) 346-2492. Fax: (530) 346-2582. You can find more information on their websites at www.aceltdusa.com or www.riflestocks.com. 

HALO Manufacturing Introduces the Stenstock 

HALO Manufacturing has now introduced a new product that will make Sten owners stand up and take notice. The new product is called the Stenstock and is an adapter that allows the Sten user to do away with his “T” or loop style stock and replace it with any stock that will attach to an AR-15/M16 style rifle. The adapter is made from aluminum and will be hard coat anodized to match the original weapon. The Stenstock also provides an attachment point for a standard AR-15 style pistol grip making the Sten even more ergonomic. For more information on this, as well as a full line of other firearm accessories, please contact HALO Manufacturing, Dept. SAR, 3980 Shenstone Drive, Suite A, Eugene, OR 97404.

MD3 LaserLight from PentagonLight 

PentagonLight has just introduced their new MD3 LaserLight. The powerful light combines either a 135-lumen or a 75-lumen 5W LED light with a red laser all in one compact package. This compact integration of the light and laser with an ARMS throw lever mount easily engages and disengages both elements from the Picatinny rail at the same time, thus reducing preparation time for nighttime operations. The light source is protected by an anti-scratch tempered glass lens and is maximally focused for greatest distance and center brightness. The laser module is easily interchanged for an optional side mounted LED light for providing low visibility for reduced light signature. The MD3 LaserLight is pre-configured with a straight cord remote pressure pad switch or a push on/off tail-cap switch for the light. An independent push on/off tail-cap switch easily activates the offset laser. Several accessories are available for the light including a coil-cord remote pressure switch tail-cap, constant and momentary on/off tail-cap, gun barrel mounts and conversion heads for alternate light sources of the main light. For more information on this new light/laser combination, please contact PentagonLight, Dept. SAR, 826 Cowan Road, Burlingame, CA 94101. Phone: (650) 697-5505. Fax: (650) 259-1311.

Rapid Deployment Body Armor Bag 

A new company called Rapid Deployment Protection Systems has introduced a new product that combines two products in one. The Rapid Deployment Body Armor Bag is a soft body armor and weapon carrying case all rolled into one. The bag goes from a discrete carrying case holding a weapon to load-bearing vest-type body armor and a ready to use weapon in a matter of seconds. The new bag is made from heavy duty Cordura-type nylon and, by itself, offers no ballistic qualities. It features “Universal Plate Carrier Technology” pouches that can be outfitted with either ceramic or steel ballistic plates and when used in conjunction with soft body armor it will protect the wearer from most rifle ammunition. The Rapid Deployment Body Armor Bag can also be equipped with magazine pouches or pouches for lights, medical kit, gas masks, etc. They even have a place for flex cuffs. There are three versions available. Version 1 fits most submachine guns with folding stocks and short barreled rifles under 24 inches; Version 2 will accommodate weapons up to 39 inches, and Version 3 anything up to 45 inches. Other versions are currently being planned. No law enforcement or military professional should be without one of these bags.
