  • Limiting the number of rounds in magazines is nothing short of unconstitutional. Americans are entitled to as many as they want. However, we want to offer an option to those living in restrictive states with our 15/30 magazines. May there come a time when all we offer is full-capacity magazines to all 50 states.

    The handguard of an AR15 or AR10 platform is a component that requires just as much attention as the remainder of the rifle. Some make decisions purely on aesthetics, but for serious applications, more thought is required. The weight of the handguard is crucial; a handguard that is too heavy makes the rifle imbalanced and overly cumbersome to shoot, especially when lights, IR Lasers, and suppressors are mounted near the muzzle. Those that are too light have often had too much material removed from the handguard, leading to issues with heat mitigation, durability, or shifting under serious training or real-world abuse. We use Carbon Fiber for its heat-dispersing properties, lightweight nature, and rigidity compared to other common materials used in handguard construction. We've produced several handguards for numerous platforms and have seen continued success across the board, from competitive to more serious applications.

    When we decided to begin manufacturing magazines for the AR platform, we had a few considerations in mind, with reliability being the most important. Instead of using polymer as the sole base material, we incorporated hardened steel feed lips to prevent the magazine body from deforming under heavy use or when left loaded for extended periods. We also experimented with different polymers that would provide a translucent appearance, which many think was purely for aesthetic purposes, but also provides the ability to know how many rounds are left in a magazine, as well as ensure the correct rounds are loaded, something that's highly important between the 5.56 and 300 Blackout calibers. The polymer's texture was also enhanced to give users a better grip on the magazines, reducing the need to use abrasive tape or hand stippling, as we saw others do with other brands. Since their introduction, I'm proud to say the line of Advanced Warfighter Magazines has served law enforcement, the military, and shooting enthusiasts across the country and around the world.
