Frequently Asked Questions

What are SilencerCo's latest suppressor innovations?

SilencerCo has introduced the Hybrid, a highly adaptable suppressor for various calibers from .458 SOCOM to .22LR, and the Osprey Micro, a compact, modular, full-auto rated rimfire suppressor with adjustable length. They also teased the Maxim 9, an integrally suppressed 9mm handgun prototype.

What makes the 2A Armament BLR 16 rifle notable?

The 2A Armament BLR 16 is a lightweight AR-15 rifle weighing just 5 lbs. It achieves this weight using components like their Balos light receivers and rail, and a titanium T3 compensator, while still being built for practical use.

What is the purpose of the Arctor Tactical ASO bag?

The Arctor Tactical ASO bag is designed as an all-in-one solution for carrying gear. It features numerous compartments, MOLLE webbing, and convertible straps, making it suitable for use as a range bag, gym bag, or general tactical gear carrier.

Why are AR handguards with front sight post cutouts uncommon?

AR handguards with front sight post cutouts are uncommon because most modern AR-15s use flat-top receivers with flip-up sights. This limits the market demand for such rails. Additionally, the manufacturing process is more complex and costly due to material removal.
