PDS-Carbine
Rock River Arms started engineering a piston system over two years ago and are now introducing that system. The new PDS (Piston Driven System) Carbine is reliable, every time.
The Rock River Arms PDS Carbine and Pistol are the first of a new generation of firearms employing Rock River Arms’ patent-pending Piston Driven System (PDS). Utilizing a purpose-designed bolt carrier, an adjustable gas piston and an over-the-barrel spring and guide rod arrangement, the Rock River Arms Piston Driven System is able to completely do away with the traditional recoil system, making for an extremely accurate, fast-handling and versatile weapon platform.

Wilson Combat 6.8 Project

Wilson Combat 6.8
“6.8 SPC was developed for better terminal effects while still having an acceptable long range trajectory. “
After a tremendous amount of research and testing by Bill Wilson and the Wilson Combat team we are excited to announce the availability of our custom AR platform rifles chambered in 6.8 SPC caliber.
The 6.8 SPC (6.8x43mm) was initially developed by MSG Steve Holland and Chris Murray a United States Army Marksmanship Unit gunsmith to offer superior downrange lethality over the 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington in an AR pattern service rifle with minimal loss of magazine capacity and a negligible increase in recoil. When built to the level of quality and precision Wilson Combat has achieved the 6.8 SPC is also capable of outstanding accuracy and reliability.
In our match-grade, Spec II chambered 16” barrels, The 6.8 SPC is capable of pushing a .277 caliber, 85gr bullet to over 2900 FPS. 110gr bullets easily achieve 2500 FPS with factory loaded ammunition. Appropriate hand loading can achieve even higher velocities and enable the use of heavier projectiles up to 130 grains, which dramatically improves terminal ballistics over a 5.56 Nato/.223 Remington at long range.
This added ballistic performance makes the 6.8 SPC perfect for home protection and SRT/SWAT teams. The 6.8 is a truly ideal hunting round for medium to heavy game and turns the AR into a serious hunting rifle.
The Knoxx recoil reduction stock
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Accessories, Long Guns on 3/Aug/2010 19:47
“The Knoxx stock uses fairly massive internal springs to absorb and spread out the recoil pulse of the heavy hitting shotgun. The kick is still there, but instead of a painful jab it’s reduced to a long ‘shove’.
This technology shines in two areas; Letting recoil sensitive people shoot the thumper without fear, and aiding in shear controllability of the shotgun.
It’s hard to argue that heavy recoil reduces ones ability to control a weapon, and mitigating the recoil helps the shooter stay on target. This is the point behind every rifle muzzle brake and ported competition pistol.
The Knoxx recoil reduction stock is indeed a gadget, but unlike so many… this one actually works.
On top of that, it has passed the ‘Carteach0 Gorilla of Doom Destruction Testing’. In plainer words, I attempted to break the stock in some very unreasonable ways. By simply pulling it apart with my bear hands (pun intended), and even beating it against a range bench (shotgun won, bench lost).”

“I can shoot power point slugs all day long without injuring my shoulder..
before i put this stock on, I literally couldn’t get through 10 rounds before wanting to switch to bird shot..
I’m NOT kidding it makes that much of a difference…this is a MUST for ANY shotgun..”
“This product is amazing. I’m a small woman who can now shoot full 3″ Magnum Slugger loads with one hand!!! AMAZING! There is almost no felt recoil what so ever and target reacquisition is incredibly fast.
I’d highly recommend this product to everyone.”
Home Defense Shotguns: Mossberg 500

“There is a lot of bullshit out there in the home defense shotgun arena. A lot of money can be made in the plastic tactical whizbang market, and it leaves the newbie wondering if the shotgun itself is really a necessity if he has all that extra junk to throw at an attacker.
The truth is, a combat shotgun needs very little to be a devastatingly effective weapon, and they can be bought on the used market very cheaply. There is no reason for any home not to have one.
I’m going to dispense with the crap and keep things simple.”

Home Defense Remington 870
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Remington, Warrior Tools on 3/Aug/2010 18:06
“On the list of firearms held as suitable for home defense, the nearly undisputed king is the 12 gauge pump action shotgun. Whether it’s the unmistakable noise of a round being chambered or the (rightly or wrongly) perceived massive stopping power, the big bore shotgun has a respected place in self defense.
The same things that make it suitable for police use make it desirable as a home protection weapon. Heavy firepower over a short range, coupled with an intimidating visual image and ease of operation.
In this article, a typical 12 gauge pump action shotgun will get a simple conversion to a home defense weapon. In this case, a Remington 870 Express, but any decent quality hunting shotgun can be drafted to house duty with a few changes.”

Home Defense Shotgun Project

The Remington 870 Express Project
For home defense the Shotgun may be legitimately argued to reign supreme especially down a short hallway, or across the Boudoir. Multiple pellet loads like the Remington Reduced Recoil Buckshot, or even a simple “Dove” or trap load, will accomplish their task awfully decisively. The vast majority of the resultant semantic debate involves “stopping” power and ammunition interchangeability/versatility.
…The total cost for this Home Defense project shotgun was less than many of the packages offered for Home defense, Tactical shooting use, and still allows quick conversion for the option of politically correct “legitimate sporting” purposes.
New Ruger SR-556C Piston Carbine

Press Release
Sturm, Ruger Introduces The SR-556C™ Piston Driven Carbine With A Shorter, Lighter Barrel
Ruger SR556C
Southport, CT: May 13, 2010 – Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. (NYSE:RGR) is pleased to announce the introduction of the new Ruger® SR-556C™, a carbine-length derivative of the popular SR-556 two-stage piston driven AR style rifle. The new SR-556C features a heavy contour, fluted barrel that is 1-3/4″ shorter and a half-pound lighter than the original SR-556.
The 16.1″ barrel on the new SR-556C features an integrally machined flash suppressor, which minimizes the overall length of the barrel while maintaining compliance with ATF regulations for civilian and commercial sales. The SR-556C maintains the mid-length gas system and the heavy (.850″) barrel contour under the handguard of the original SR-556, however the barrel under the handguard is fluted for weight reduction and to promote barrel cooling.
“Many of our customers appreciate the limited muzzle rise when shooting the original SR-556, which allows them to re-acquire their sight picture more quickly between shots,” said Todd Wilkinson, Ruger’s Chief Engineer for Rifles. “However, some customers requested a shorter, lighter, faster handling gun that can more quickly acquire separate targets. This new SR-556C drops a full half pound off the front end of the gun, which changes its handling dynamics considerably, something our customers are really going to appreciate.”
The SR-556C offers the same great features that made the original SR-556 such a success: it includes the two-stage piston driven operating system with a four position adjustable gas regulator; chrome plated, cold hammer forged barrel; Troy Industries Folding Battlesights, Quad Rail, and rail covers; chrome plated bolt carrier group and operating system, six-position stock, Hogue® Monogrip® and three 30-round MAGPUL PMAG™ magazines.
For more information on the SR-556C, or any of the other rifles, pistols, or revolvers offered by Ruger, please visit www.Ruger.com, or visit your local firearms retailer.
