In addition, GMG announced that it will launch its first-ever consumer and business-to-business advertising program in the second quarter of 2013.

According to GMG Sales manager, Bob Pallitto, “The years 2011 and 2012 produced unprecedented growth for GMG, as more and more gun enthusiasts learned that they can get the look and feel as well as the enhanced performance they want for their tactical rifles, more economically than they ever thought possible. To meet the demand, we recently increased the product line by 14 percent, and will be doing more than ever before to ensure that price-sensitive gun enthusiasts across America know where to buy the 150 available Global Military Gear products.”

2013 additions to the GMG line include a wide range of AR15/M4 carbine stocks; buffer tubes; several two-piece quad rail handguards; free-floating handguards; sling adapters; a 2-piece upper vice block; and even a 25 pound gun magnet. The new products fill out a line that already included a wide range of stocks; rails; rail mounts; rail systems; bipods; foregrips; optic mounts; sights and magnifiers; iron and back-up sights; sling mounts and slings; tactical vests; holsters; and armorer’s tools.

Among the most sought after new products are three different AR15/M4 Aluminum Skeleton Stocks in 8-, 9- and 10-inch lengths. These stocks are available either as a kit, which include the spring and buffer, or just the stock itself. The new Skeleton Stocks are low-profile, light-weight and provide enhanced performance along with a sharp, professional appearance.

Global Military Gear products are available from gun dealers and distributors across the USA, and can be seen online at gm-gear.com.

The Law Tactical Folding Stock Adapter is a 90-percent solution to the problem. The only thing stopping it from being a full-on conversion unit is the fact that it is not designed to allow firing with the stock folded. I carried folding-stock carbines and submachine guns during my Army days, and the circumstances where I needed to be able to fire them without first deploying the stock were limited to a handful of times involving extreme environments or circumstances. Even on my wildest day my civilian life is a bit tamer, so I can handle this limitation to the stock’s utility.

All that is needed to convert your existing AR to the Law Tactical system is the ability and tooling to remove the buttstock and buffer assemblies. Tutorials abound with step-by-step instructions for this procedure, so I won’t go into it here. The process will be smooth if you apply proper tools and attention to detail. Once the stock and recoil assemblies are removed, the included instructions clearly explain the process of installing Law Tactical’s hardware. The removal and installation procedures only used up 20 minutes of my day.

Simple tools and good instructions are all you need to add the folding stock adapter to your direct-gas AR.

After installation of the Law Tactical kit, the stock retains its original fixed or collapsible nature, but also folds to the left side with the press of a conveniently-located and protected spring-loaded button. The stock does not lock in the folded position, but hinge tension is easily adjusted with a hex key to keep it folded. It is easily deployed/extended by simply unfolding until it locks open. The latch is stout, and there is no doubt when it locks to full extension. Time to deploy the stock is faster than to extend a stock that has been collapsed to its shortest length for storage. A collapsible stock’s original endplate and castle nut are retained for use with the Law Tactical system, so any sling attachment points located either on the endplate or the stock remain usable. The kit will work on mil-spec and commercial receiver extensions, A1 or A2 fixed stocks and on both 5.56 NATO- and .308 Win.-sized AR platforms.

If there is a glitch in this system, it is in the way the designers have tackled the problem of filling in the inch-plus space between the rear of the bolt carrier and the front of the recoil buffer once the folding system is installed. The adapter creates a gap between the rear of bolt carrier and the buffer’s front. An included bolt-carrier extension must be attached to the rear of the carrier to fill this space and maintain contact with the buffer. This is easily accomplished with a flathead screwdriver and wrench, effectively making the bolt carrier longer to fill the gap. Without the extension in place, the bolt carrier would damage the gun and cause it to malfunction while reciprocating.

As it currently exists, however, the carrier extension must be removed in order to separate the upper and lower receivers for maintenance or repair. While I never plan to remove my bolt carrier in the heat of a gunfight, there are some serious malfunctions that do require opening the rear takedown pin—with the Law Tactical setup in place, tools are required to make that happen. If I were to change one thing on this kit it would be to make the bolt-carrier extension removable without use of tools.

With the adapter installed to permit folding, the author’s AR had its storage length reduced by 6.5 inches, making stowing his emergency carbine easier than ever. Stock deployment can be accomplished in the blink of an eye.

The included manual clearly states this system should never be fired with the stock folded. The intent of this kit is to provide a more compact means of storing your AR, not firing it from the hip. A spring-loaded finger locks into the bolt-carrier extension when the stock is folded, preventing it from moving rearward should the gun be fired in this configuration. Law Tactical has tested both 5.56 NATO and .308 Win. ARs with this system to verify they could withstand being fired with the stock folded, and in both cases the bolt carriers were effectively retained, but the Law Tactical hardware was damaged and unsuitable for further use.

I added the Gen 2 AR Folding Stick Adapter to my 5.5-pound Hoplite, bringing weight up to 6.25 pounds and stretching overall length by 1.25 inches. The biggest change can be seen in terms of storage space needed for the little gun. My carbine measured 32.5 inches long with the stock collapsed in the original configuration. After installation, overall length with the stock folded was shortened to just 26 inches.

I fired 150 rounds of 55-grain FMJ and surplus 62-grain M855 “green tip” through my gun with the Law Tactical adapter installed. Function was flawless, and though my length of pull was longer, the collapsible stock allowed me to easily remedy that problem out for a normal eye-to-sight distance. I checked the screw affixing the bolt carrier extension after every 10 rounds for the first 60 shots to see if it would loosen, then I fired the rest of the ammunition and checked again to ensure it stayed tight. The carrier extension was properly aligned and the screw was as tight as when first installed each time I inspected it.

We live in an age of utility through modularity. Selling for $199 (web) to $219 (MSRP), the Law Tactical Gen 2 AR Folding Stock Adapter adds yet another page to the practicality chapter in the book of America’s favorite rifle.

My business consumes 150 to 300 rounds of centerfire rifle ammunition in an average week, sometimes much more than that. That means I am constantly on the prowl for available and affordable fodder. Several months ago, I noticed one of the few types of .308 Win. ammunition available was commercial versions of the U.S. military’s M80 “Ball” load. M80 (and NATO equivalents) has been around for a few decades, being issued in belted and boxed variants for semi- and full-automatic military arms. This load is often used in designated-marksman long arms and has even been pressed into service in sniper rifles used in the War on Terror.

Depending on the source, projectile weights range from 145 to 150 grains, all in a fully metal-jacketed, boattail configuration. Machine gun ammunition is often purposefully loaded to create dispersion at the target, creating a “beaten zone” to kill or incapacitate as many enemy personnel as possible with each burst. That fact usually makes it an unlikely choice for point targets. The U.S. military’s accuracy standard for M80 Ball (boxed or on stripper clips) is a mean average radius of 5 inches at 600 yards for all groups tested from a given lot of ammunition. That measurement loosely equates to a 10-inch circle or approximately 1.6 MOA at that distance. The standard for belted M80 is a 7.5-inch mean radius at 600 yards, or approximately a 15-inch/2.4-MOA circle. While in the Army, I fired various lots of M80 through my sniper rifles to gain “dope” just in case our match loads ran out in a combat theater. I was confident of hitting a bad-guy-size target, but I never thought of it as particularly suitable ammunition for accurate fire.

I decided it was time to find out if any of the available M80 equivalents would shoot well, so I gathered up nine brands and headed to the range for a test. My plan was simple: Use a practical rifle of known accuracy to shoot a small amount of each load at 100 yards, checking accuracy, reliability and velocity. I decided to use an 18-inch barreled AR and low-power optic for this exercise, reasoning that at best, this is a battle-rifle cartridge. I did try to factor out shooter error somewhat by using a good trigger (Geissele SSA-E) and shooting from a bag rest on a bench.

Prior to testing the M80 loads, I fired a known factory load (Hornady 168-grain A-Max) to get an accuracy baseline for the day. This .308 AR is capable of .6-inch groups at 100 yards, but the average this day for five, five round groups was .86 inch/.81 MOA. That is about as good as I can manage consistently using a 6.5X optic.

The M80 loads’ accuracy varied by brand in this small snapshot test, ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 inches for five-shot groups. Some of this stuff looked pretty rough out of the box, so I expected malfunctions, but every load operated as designed. I was surprised to see the standard deviation (SD) values for several brands measured less than 20 fps—far better than seen in true machine gun ammo. In terms of accuracy, I found the bulk of these M80 loads to be worthy of general-purpose shooting tasks.

Far from being relegated to belt-fed battle beasts chattering away in far off lands, commercial M80 Ball ammunition is relatively affordable, marginally available and capable of hitting targets with modest accuracy. That is about as good as we can expect in the current ammo market.

Shooting Results

Velocity measured in fps 20 feet from the muzzle with an Oehler Model 35P chronograph. Temperature: 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Accuracy measured in inches for five consecutive, five shot groups at 100 yards from shooting bags. Testing performed with a Citizen Arms 18-inch-barreled AR with a Bushnell Tactical SMRS 1FP 1-6.5×24 mm scope with a BTR-2 reticle.

A common theme when discussing this utilitarian class of guns goes something like this: “I don’t need to drive nails with this thing. It’s my truck gun and I just want it to be handy and to work when I need it.” Technically speaking, a truck gun can be any firearm legally stored in a vehicle and on-hand in case of an emergency. You don’t have to own a truck or even an SUV, and only you can determine which type of firearm will work best for your situation. Said crisis could be anything from the benign task of putting down a road-injured animal to the extreme situation of fighting your way home if the seams of society suddenly come undone. While city folk may laugh at such notions, those living outside suburban America know these are among the many scenarios where a traveling gun may come in handy. I’ll focus specifically on long arms here, because in the worst-case scenarios we want to avoid getting into a protracted fight armed only with our concealed handgun.

A truck gun should be lightweight, portable and able to serve various purposes in a pinch. It must be reliable, use common ammunition and be capable of keeping multiple threats well beyond arm’s length. The right gun will depend on many factors: budget, vehicle type, location, familiarity, etc. I decided on a rifle and used my own “what-if” analysis to determine the best solution. If I were on the road—somewhere more than a couple hours from home—and suddenly had to deal with any threat preventing me from getting back, I would want a fighting rifle in my hands. For my purposes that turned out to be an AR, but a lever-action .30-30 Win., an old surplus Mauser or even a fourth-generation, single-shot rifle will serve well in a variety of circumstances—certainly better than a tire iron and a can of pepper spray.

I drive a 3/4-ton truck, so finding a place to keep a rifle of any size is easy. However, if your prime mover is a two-seater with a matchbox-sized trunk, then compactness will be the order of the day. A carbine with a folding or collapsible stock and little in the way of attachments may make good sense in that case. I decided my truck gun should be configured as trim and light as possible, and since my existing ARs were anything but streamlined, I built one for just this purpose. I used the lightest components I could find, including a carbon-fiber free-float tube, three-prong A1-style flash hider, pencil-thin barrel and the smaller, four-position collapsible CAR stock. The result was a very slick carbine weighing in at just over 5 pounds, unloaded. I added Trijicon’s RX01 reflex sight, an old nylon sling and a SureFire X300 light to round out the package. In doing so, I departed from my normal compulsion—to make every rifle I build shoot as accurately as possible—in favor of portability. It prints 2-inch groups with good surplus 5.56 NATO “green tip” ammo and 1.5-inch groups at 100 yards with match loads. This is a get-out-of-trouble gun, not a sniper rifle.

Several considerations need addressing when deciding to carry a long gun in your vehicle. Foremost is safety. Since this is a gun that won’t be on your body or in your immediate control, it should be unloaded. Even if retained in a rack or case, it will likely be oriented sideways at folks driving alongside or passing you in either direction. Having a round chambered in any firearm not directly in your control is simply a recipe for disaster. You must also ensure you don’t violate any federal, state or local laws by having a firearm in certain locations. Places like schools and some government property either prohibit outright or heavily restrict the transportation and possession of firearms. Learn the law and abide by it so you don’t lose the right to possess a gun. Another concern is how to best carry and store a rifle or shotgun. A soft case behind the seat of a pickup or in the trunk usually works well. However SUVs, vans and other vehicles without hidden storage space will require less-conspicuous packaging.

Remember: in extremely hot and cold environments, your truck gun will experience temperature and humidity swings as you cool or heat the passenger area. Keep any parts that are likely to rust—especially blued and Parkerized surfaces—well oiled or use a rust-inhibiting storage container. Check your rifle every so often to ensure it remains functional. Lastly, consider the best means to carry extra ammunition in the event you’re forced to go on foot. A purpose-built ammo satchel, surplus load-bearing vest or small pack will do the trick, and be sure to leave room for other survival essentials. Some soft rifle cases can be configured as a backpack, allowing you to carry the rifle, ammunition and other small items in a somewhat concealed fashion.

Not everyone needs a special firearm in their vehicle, and those who do may not carry one all the time. But, for long road trips or if venturing out when things are looking bleak, a truck gun may be the extra insurance needed to provide you with peace of mind, and more.

Updates and revisions made to the AP Stylebook this week regarding firearms and weapons terminology include a detailed description of what the journalistic organization considers standard usage for newspaper and electronic media editors and reporters.

The AP Stylebook was created in 1953 and continues to be the go-to guide outlining grammar, writing style and word choice for working journalists—and journalism schools—across the country and around the world.

On Wednesday, March 27, those journalists who have an online AP Stylebook account that permits access to the guide electronically received an email update on weapon terminology that included the following entry:

assault rifle, assault weapon

Terms for military or police-style weapons that are shorter than a conventional rifle and technically known as carbines. The precise definitions may vary from one law or jurisdiction to another. Although the terms are often used interchangeably, some make the distinction that assault rifle is a military weapon with a selector switch for firing in either fully automatic or semi-automatic mode from a detachable, 10- to 30-round magazine. Comparatively lightweight and easy to aim, this carbine was designed for tactical operations and is used by some law enforcement agencies. The form: an M16 assault rifle, an AK-47 assault rifle, a Kalashnikov assault rifle. An assault weapon is the civilian version of the military carbine with a similar appearance. This gun is semi-automatic, meaning one shot per trigger pull. Ammunition magazines ranging from 10 to 30 rounds or more allow rapid-fire capability. Other common characteristics include folding stock, muzzle flash suppressor, bayonet mount and pistol grip. Assault weapon sales were largely banned under federal law from 1994 to 2004 to curb gun crimes. The form: AR-15 carbine with military-style appearance.

Examples:

Each soldier carried an M16 assault rifle into combat, facing enemy troops armed with AK-47 assault rifles.

Politicians debated sales restrictions on assault weapons, including military-style AR-15 carbines for gun hobbyists.

To the organization’s credit, this week’s AP Stylebook updates included a clear and forthright explanation of the difference between the terms “magazine” and “clip.”

magazine

The ammunition storage and feeding device within or attached to a firearm. It may be fixed to the firearm or detachable. It is not a clip.

clip

A device to store multiple rounds of ammunition together as a unit, ready for insertion into the gun. Clips are generally used to load obsolete military rifles. Clip is not the correct term for a detachable magazine commonly used in modern military rifles, assault rifles, assault weapons, submachine guns and semi-automatic pistols. See magazine.

However, it also included an obsolete and ambiguous definition and description leftover from decades long-passed:

Saturday night special

A compact, relatively inexpensive handgun.

Following the success of the SR-25, Knight’s Armament turned to the AR-15 platform, and designed the Stoner Rifle-15 (SR-15), a rifle with a number of advanced design improvements. The latest version is the SR-15E3 IWS Mod 1 (Integrated Weapon System, Modification 1).

The SR-15E3 IWS Mod 1 comes with a 16-inch, chrome-lined barrel with a 1/2×28 threaded muzzle and an A2 flash hider. At 3.75 inches from the front of the flash hider, a mil spec Upper Receiver Extending (URX) 3.1 Rail System begins and mounted atop is Knight’s folding front sight. At 2.5 inches from the front of the rail are integral 3- and 9-o’clock side rails also measuring 2.5 inches, and both of these contain QD sling mounts at the front and a hex-head bolt at the rear. On the front of the bottom section of the handguard is a 2-inch rail and QD sling mount, and about 4 3⁄8 inches from the SR-15E3’s muzzle is a low-profile, mid-length gas block housed beneath the top rail.

While the author found the grip panels included with the URX fore-end difficult to mount, they provide a natural gripping surface and likely won’t need to be moved.

At the rear of the three short rail sections, the side and bottom sections of the handguard narrow approximately .105 inch to reduce the width of the fore-end by about .25 inch to 1.95 inches. The entire 7 5⁄8-inch length of this reduced width consists of a smooth surface. Five interspersed holes are present, with those of the side sections leading to threaded holes in the sides of the bottom rail where it interlocks with tracks within the main top rail. At the rear of the smooth sections are three more short rail sections. Those at 3- and 9-o’clock have QD sling mounts and hex bolts like their front counterparts.

Along with two QD sling swivels, four proprietary Knight’s rail panels are furnished with hex bolts and nuts to affix them along the side and bottom rail panels. While mounting the panels is slightly tedious, once in place they will likely never be moved. The same is true of the bottom rail with its heat shield. Inside the rear of the railed fore-end is a proprietary barrel nut that locks it rigidly and perfectly in line with the upper flattop receiver tail using a precise fixture during mounting. This renders the two-piece rail as rigid as a monolithic system, still while allowing a damaged fore-end to be replaced.

Made from mil-std aircraft-alloy forgings, the flattop upper receiver mates perfectly with the lower receiver and both display a high-quality exterior. Surpassing mil spec, the upper receiver comes with ambidextrous charging handle locks, suggesting such a handle exists or is planned. The charging handle has Knight’s well-designed extended latch. Also standard is its adjustable flip-up, peep-aperture rear sight.

Furnished for evaluation was a set of Knight’s excellent new 45 Offset Flip Sights, for use when a high-power optic is mounted.

The most significant design achievement on the SR-15E3 is its bolt, which features rounded lugs that reduce stresses and decrease the chances of breakage.

Deserving special mention is the SR-15’s bolt, from which the rifle gets its E3 designation. Where the standard AR-15 bolt uses seven rectangular-shaped locking lugs, Knight’s bolt has lugs that are rounded both on the top and bottom. The same design is used in the corresponding lugs of the barrel extension. Radii eliminate stress risers, and the extra material provided reportedly increases the lug strength by at least 50 percent. Sharing the spotlight is the cam pin, which (with the firing pin) is of a smaller diameter. This allows the bolt walls to be thicker.

Equally advanced is the SR-15E3 IWS Mod 1’s dual-spring extractor.  Extractor problems in the AR-15 are often due to centrifugal force, as the bolt rotates to unlock. The “E3” extractor is wider at the rear to house two springs, and the extra material adds weight to help balance the extractor’s front portion from backing away from the cartridge-case rim as it rotates.

The SR-15E3 IWS Mod 1’s lower receiver includes Knight’s ambidextrous magazine release, bolt release and safety/selector, and comes with a proprietary, enlarged fold-down trigger guard. Ambidextrous single-point QD sling mounts are located on the rear sides of the receiver. Also standard are extended M4 feed ramps and Knight’s 2-stage Match Trigger. For the buttstock, Knight’s has chosen the SOCOM buttstock produced for the military by Lewis Machine & Tool. Made of tough polymer, this stock has two waterproof full-length battery compartments, two ambidextrous sling mounts and a nonslip rubber buttpad.

Operations of the sample SR-15E3 IWS Mod 1 were exceptionally fine. Unlike some ARs, the SR-15E3’s charging handle was quite smooth. The magazine release proved equally smooth, and the Knight trigger is suitable for any type of shooting. With a crisp let-off of 4.5 pounds, this trigger proved excellent in all respects, and the ambidextrous safety has the lower half of the thumb pad machined flat to stay out of the way of the index finger.

The steel, flip-up front sight included with the SR-15E3 is easily adjusted for elevation using the wheel in its body rather than requiring the use of a tool.

The SR-15E3 IWS Mod 1 was tested using its open sights informally from the shoulder with a variety of 5.56 NATO ammunition and from sandbags using a Leupold 3-9×40 mm MR/T scope. The rifle preferred some bullets and brands to others, but generally produced excellent accuracy hovering near 1 MOA. There were no malfunctions during the tests.

Because of its exceptional quality, Knight’s Armament’s new SR-15E3 IWS Mod 1 would seem an ideal carbine whether for home defense, hunting or law enforcement.

“With the rising popularity of the AR-15 platform, it seemed time to design and produce a truly collectible version of this amazing shooting platform,” commented CEO Doug Turnbull, “while still turning out what is one of the most accurate and easy shooting AR type rifles. I am very proud to put my name on the TAR-15.”

The TAR-15 is based on the standard AR-15 platform, but the “standard” stops there. The upper and lower are both crafted from 8620 carbon finished in the Turnbull bone/charcoal case hardening process that lends both the colorful finish and hardens the steel. The barrel is chrome lined in both the bore and chamber ease of maintenance, durability and maximum accuracy.

The TAR-15 comes standard with a 16-inch barrel and includes a screw-on muzzle brake. Other barrel lengths up to 24 inches are available at an additional charge. These rifles use the direct-gas-impingement system for smoother recoil and control. The gun ships with an oversize integral trigger guard to fit a gloved finger easily for cold weather or other gloved situations.

The stocks and fore-end are premium American black walnut that has been designed to maximize the ergonomics of the AR-15 design while allowing for the aesthetics of fine wood furniture. The wood is available in either a urethane or oiled matte finish in several grades. The TAR-15 ships in a lockable hard travel case with a four- and 10-round magazine. All TAR-15 rifles carry the Turnbull one-year warranty.

MSRP is $2,495 complete with case and muzzle brake.

LaRue’s move was a reaction to the signing of sweeping new laws in New York by Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Jan. 15. The laws prohibit the sale of AR-platform and similar rifles, certain “high-capacity” magazines and carrying more than seven cartridges in any magazine.

LaRue’s statement read:

“Effective [Feb. 8], in an effort to see that no legal mistakes are made by LaRue Tactical and/or its employees, we will apply all current State and Local Laws (as applied to civilians) to state and local law enforcement/government agencies.

“In other words, LaRue Tactical will limit all sales to what law-abiding citizens residing in their districts can purchase or possess.

“State and local laws have always been a serious focus of this firm, and we are now dovetailing that focus with the constitutional rights of the residents covered in their different areas by the old and new regulations. We realize this effort will have an impact on this firm’s sales—and have decided the lost sales are less danger to this firm than potential lawsuits from erroneous shipments generated by something as simple as human error.”

And on Tuesday, Feb. 12, Washington state-based AR-15 and 1911 pistol manufacturer Olympic Arms released a statement of its own from company president Brian Schuetz.

“Legislation recently passed in the State of New York outlaws the AR-15 and many other firearms, and will make it illegal for the good and free citizens of New York to own a large selection of legal and safe firearms and magazines.

“In short, Olympic Arms will no longer be doing business with the State of New York or any governmental entity or employee of such governmental entity within the State of New York—henceforth and until such legislation is repealed, and an apology made to the good people of the State of New York and the American people.

“If the leaders of the State of New York are willing to limit the right of the free and law abiding citizens of New York to arm themselves as they see fit under the Rights enumerate to all citizens of the United State through the Second Amendment, we feel as though the legislators and government entities within the State of New York should have to abide by the same restrictions.”
