Firearms Customization

Tyrant CNC is back at it again making customized parts to upgrade our firearms for better performance and kicking up curb appeal in front of the bros. Their latest creation is a Snub Nose Grip Module for the SIG Sauer P365 platform.

Griffin Armament has introduced a new AR-15 bolt carrier group called Enhanced Gas Pocket BCG. This BCG is designed to reduce the right ear sound signature when used with suppressors. It achieves this goal by having the gas vent holes on the left side and venting the excess gasses into a milled pocket and the receiver itself as opposed to venting out through the ejection port.

The Strike Industries Enhanced Grip Module for P365s is a good-looking grip module, aimed to give you a little bit more performance out of your carry piece. Strike Industries sent one out for a review, and I'll give you an honest review and opinion.

Faxon Firearms have introduced a new adjustable gas block for AR-15 pattern firearms that has a pretty interesting design. The adjustment screw is located on the side of the gas block and when rotated, it moves the gas tube back and forth thus changing the amount of the gas tube hole and gas port overlap. The benefit of this design is that the adjustment screw does not come in contact with the gasses remaining clean and operational without risk of seizing.

Typically, the first modification made to an AK is the trigger. Meridian Defense has introduced a new product known as the MDC-Combat Trigger. They have taken on the challenge of designing a new trigger, first implementing it in their rifle product line and now releasing it as an aftermarket trigger upgrade for the AK market. Meridian Defense is recognized for its high-quality work in building AK rifles, and they are now using their expertise to design an upgraded trigger specifically for the Kalashnikov platform.

RISE Armament has been around for long enough that they’re well-known for their AR triggers as well as fully-assembled AR-pattern rifles and uppers and other components. Now they’re branching out into the world of bolt-actions, with the Reliant Hunter and Reliant Pro triggers.

There are plenty of good reasons to change the furniture on your AR-15, maybe you picked up a budget model with plans to upgrade as you go, maybe you simply don’t like what came with your rifle, or you suffer from restless AR syndrome. No matter the reason, you are now in the market for something new and quickly discovered the plethora of options on the market. Today I’ll be covering a few options from F.A.B. Defense as they have been busy updating their lineup of accessories.

Do you own a Benelli M2? Are you feeling an irresistible urge to trick it out with some much-needed accessories, but you don’t know where to start? Mesa Tactical has a good idea of where you should start, with their new Truckee forend now available for this tactical shotgun, allowing attachment of all sorts of add-ons.

JK Armament has a new piston and booster assembly that is compatible with HUB threading. The JK HUB Piston Mount can adapt any HUB-threaded suppressor for use on a tilting-barrel handgun. Why would you want to do that? Keep reading to find out.

While scrolling through YouTube Shorts, I saw a sight that claimed to be the red dot killer. These sights are more compact, don’t need batteries, and work day or night.

KRG is now shipping the Echo Chassis for Tikka rifles. This lightweight stock system adds features like an adjustable cheek piece and Arca rail mounting positions on the forend. And best of all, it's only $299!

If you’re looking to upgrade your Glock 48 sights for a more defensive-focused setup, the XS Sights DXT2 Pro Series Big Dot sights may be exactly what you need. I recently swapped out my traditional tritium night sights for the DXT2 Pro Series Big Dot sights and found them to be a great departure from my traditional sight setup. With their larger dot, tritium glow, and user-friendly installation, the new DXT2 Pro Series should offer a different experience compared to the standard three-dot sight setup.

Ever since Franklin Armory unveiled its Binary Trigger kit for the Glock 17, the company has been inundated with calls and messages from customers demanding equal treatment for the Glock 19, which should come as no surprise as it is arguably the most popular carry gun in America. Franklin Armory has responded by announcing the availability of its patented Binary Firing System (BFS) for your Gen3 Glock 19.

After hearing that I’d recently gotten a .44 Magnum Desert Eagle, my fellow writer Luke C. sent me a couple of night sights to slap on and test out. My favorites were the XS Sights R3D 2.0; they’re 100% better than the stock black sights for several reasons.

MDT has a new version of the JAE chassis for sale, the JAE-G5. This new model adds features like a bolt-on Arca rail and adjustable barricade stop. It is loaded with features like a rubber gasket inside the stock that dampens the recoil and locations for weights inside the forend.

Fellow writer Luke C. discovered I picked up a Magnum Research Desert Eagle and generously gave me two sets of XS Sights to test after learning I was less than thrilled with the stock sights. This article will focus on how I installed and tested the XS Sights DXT2 Big Dot Night Sights on my .44 Mag Desert Eagle.

The pursuit of speed is unrelenting. It has captured the hearts and minds of mankind worldwide. I imagine the day after the firearm was invented, someone tried to shoot it a tad bit faster. Throughout the years, there have been many upgrades and iterations to the primitive tool that we call the firearm. What may have started as the Hand Cannon in China in the 13th century has long evolved into a tool that's so distant from its roots, that it's almost unrecognizable.

In this episode of TFBTV, Nic takes FN’s Quick Detach Pistol Compensator to the range for a hands-on test. We’ll see if a QD pistol compensator really reduces recoil and muzzle flip as advertised. Does it improve control and accuracy, or is it just another pointless and pricey accessory? Watch to find out!

Strike Industries has a new muzzle device for 9mm handguns with 1/2x28 threaded barrels. The new Strike Pistol Linear Compensator is advertised to redirect the concussive force and muzzle flash forward and keep the lens of the weapon-mounted lights clean. The Strike Pstol Linear Compensator is not a suppressor although it may look like one and Strike Industries say it can be a great prop alternative to suppressors.

Timney Triggers are not just for bolt action and semi automatic guns anymore! The new Timney Lever Action Trigger fits the Marlin family of lever guns. It offers a 3-3.5 pound single-stage pull. Let’s take a closer look at what it brings to the table.

If you’ve thought of building a retro “Gordy” or “Blood Diamond” rifle in the past, raise your hand. I’m right there with you. As if a sign from above that it’s truly meant to be, B5 Systems recently expanded on their retro line of furniture for the CAR15. Let’s face it, I didn’t need a sign. This is an itch that isn’t going away until I finally scratch it, and B5 Systems is stepping up to make it easier to accomplish without sacrificing the quality of materials and exacting standards we’ve come to know from them.

B5 Systems has a new family of furniture for AKs. There are multiple models of stocks, a handguard, and a pistol grip. All of the B5 Systems AK furniture is made in the USA and backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Keep reading for an overview of all of the models.

FN has released several new accessory items for the SCAR family. These parts have already been seen on complete guns, but are now being offered for the first time as individual parts. These new parts are compatible with existing SCAR firearms.

It’s no secret that the Sig Sauer P365 has become one of the most popular sub-compact handguns on the market since its 2018 SHOT Show debut, and you know what they say, with great success comes great accessories. Alright, maybe that isn’t the saying, but it’s true! While polymer-frame handguns have been the norm since the P365 was a twinkle Sig’s eye, you just can’t please everyone. Well, maybe you can. Now you can buy a JT P365 Aluminum Grip Module, developed by Juggernaut Tactical, directly on the Sig Sauer website. There is a little more going on here than just a grip module, however. Let’s take a closer look.

Rosco Manufacturing is adding to its limited edition series of Husky heavy barrels for the AR-15 platform. The lineup previously included 10.3”, 12.5”, and 14.5” models, however, at the moment only the 14.5” and new 11.5” variants are in stock and available for purchase. Will there be more? You’ll have to ask Rosco, but “limited” could indicate a firm “you snooze, you lose” policy from the Rhode Island barrel manufacturer. Let’s take a closer look at the Limited 11.5” 5.56 NATO Husky Barrel.

Rosco Manufacturing, delivering accuracy and expertise in hard-use precision barrel making, demands stringent performance standards throughout its product lines. The Rhode Island manufacturer has evolved again, excited to announce its 6mm ARC Purebred Barrel Series in 14.5”, 16”, and 20”, respectively.

Why a design that is over 40 years old has so deeply and indelibly penetrated the firearms market is a bit perplexing. Everywhere you turn at the gun range, it is Glocks as far as the eye can see. Gaston Glock obviously was onto something because here we are 42 years later deploying them for military, law enforcement, competition, self-defense, and general tomfoolery at the range purposes. One of the hallmark downsides to a factory Glock pistol though are their sights. They are plastic… a dull white color… and prone to breaking if you’re doing one of those YouTube brutality tests for some internet clout.

MDT Sporting Goods is announcing the expansion of its Field Stock Chassis System line to include the CZ 455, Savage MKII, and Tikka T1X rimfire rifles. These additions aim to enhance the performance and ergonomics of these popular rifles, providing shooters with a tailored and customizable shooting experience.

While at GunCon 2024 at the Brownells headquarters, I stopped in at the Victor Company booth and found some brand new chassis with two handguard options for the Ruger 10/22 rifle. The Victor Company RPG Chassis for the Ruger 10/22 platform are designed with precision shooting and competition in mind but are light enough to fit other roles as well. The Victor Company’s “RPG” designation stands for “Rapid Precision Gun.”

Luke C (  @BallisticAviation  ) is back at GunCon 2024 hosted by  @brownells  and  @TheGunCollective  to talk with Jake from  @radianweapons  about their latest version of the AFTERBURNER + RAMECT recoil management system. The AFTERBURNER and RAMJET work together to help you control the recoil of your pistol which should lead to faster split times, and tighter groups, and add a bit of aesthetic flare to your favorite range or carry a gun. The AFTERBURNER + RAMJET now make their way to the P365 and P365-XMACRO platforms. Stay tuned for news about future AFTERBURNER and RAMJET releases coming soon.
