Vortex Optics RAZOR AMG UH-1 Holographic Sight

It appears that Vortex Optics now has Eotech in their sights with the announcement of the AMG UH-1 Holographic Sight. The timing could not be better given Eotech’s latest troubles with the admission of cold weather distortion, reticle fade, thermal drift and parallax issues.

Introducing the Vortex Optics RAZOR AMG UH-1 Holographic Sight.

The RAZOR AMG UH-1 Holographic Sight affectionately known in-house as “Huey.”  The UH-1 is a completely new force in weapon mounted holographic technology, and you’re one of the first shooters to see it! Inside the durable aluminum chassis the UH-1 features fewer moving parts compared to traditional holographic sights. This equates to maximum durability. The holographic sight is powered with the included CR123A battery. the weapon sight also has the option of running LFP CR123A batteries. LFP CR123A batteries can be recharged using the on-board, waterproof micro-USB port.

We believe the shooter is the only one who should see the new Vortex EBR-CQB reticle so we engineered the entire system to virtually eliminate all traces of forward signature, unlike any other red dot or holographic sight on the market.

Lancer L7AWM Magazine For AR 308

Among AR-15 shooters the Magpul PMAG is the reigning king of popularity. The PMAG is inexpensive, looks great and is very reliable. Magpul also has the best marketing of any magazine manufacturer. That said among AR purists their are better (and much more expensive magazines). The HK and Lancer Systems L5 come to mind. That brings us to today’s welcome entry in to the 308 AR magazine field, the Lancer L7 Advanced Warfighter Magazine.

Lancer L7 Advanced Warfighter Magazine | Lancer L7AWM Magazine

Lancer L5AWM and Lancer L7AWM are of an interesting design and construction. The magazine bodies are polymer with a steel insert for the feed lips. While this construction is not unique the polymer body characteristics are. The key difference is a flexible body. The flexible body allows the magazine to remain flexible and survive impacts and conditions that might disable AR magazine of steel, aluminum and other rigid construction materials.

When they set out to develop a tough and reliable .308 polymer magazine on the market, Lancer took engineering inspiration from the L5AWM (5.56) and the SIG Sauer MPX, combining the best advances of both to bring the Lancer L7AWM Magazine to life.

Answering Rifle Questions | No Response from 308AR.com

Are We Still Answering Rifle Questions? YES!

A few months ago we moved to a new more powerful server. life was good, almost. Unknown to us at the time our new server was assigned an ip address once globally blacklisted as a spammer. As a result many of our replies to questions were returned as undelivered. This was quite frustrating because replies take time. It was a waste of valuable time.

Ask a Question About 308 AR | AR-10 Rifles

Typically when an ip address is flagged for spam there are mechanisms available to clear up the matter. We spent a lot of time trying to get our ip removed from all the blacklists. We were moderately successful. We were however never able to get everything cleared up. The most problematic email addresses were from Microsoft and the At&t family of email addresses. The result is half the population of shooters with free email accounts was not getting our replies. This outcome is very frustrating to put it mildly.

Today is a New Day and a New Server

Today November 17, 2016 I am pleased to report that this site as well as all of our others are on a brand new server. Our new server has better optimization for the software we run. The new server contains 4 cpu processors and 300gb SSD’s (solid state drives). More important than the specs though is our brand new server includes two new ip addresses.  The result will be a better user experience and equally important improved email. We are hopeful the emails will make it to their recipients.

The latest innovation of Velocity Triggers is Diamond Like Carbon Coating (DLC) on the trigger which will give your Velocity Trigger the highly effective combination of a low coefficient of friction and high micro-hardness, its also a surface that will not rust and gives your trigger a deep dark black color.

Simply stated, the Diamond Like Carbon Coating (DLC) results in a greater wear resistance over the life of the trigger.

Simply stated, The Velocity Trigger makes your AR feel like a true bolt-action sniper rifle.

The trigger group comes as a pre-assembled housing. It is designed to be installed into any AR lower receiver and drops into your gun easily. No Gunsmithing is required.

These are the steps, we at Velocity Triggers, are taking to give to you the quality you deserve to deliver the next shot as if your life depended on it:

  1. Every Velocity Trigger is 100% Made in America
  2. EDM wire technology and All Tool Steel are used to precision manufacture the trigger, hammer and disconnect
  3. Velocity AR-15 triggers are heat-treated to give shooters an exceptional lifetime of service
  4. Housing for the trigger assembly are machined from 6061T6 billet aluminum and black anodized to provide a lifetime of durability.
  5. The trigger is black oxide then hand polished to create the smoothness you desire from an exceptional trigger.
  6. The Hammer and Disconnect are treated with NP3 by Robar to provide super smooth feel shooters expect from a high quality trigger.

A gun owner does not need to be a genius to understand what is at risk with the upcoming presidential election. Hillary Clinton’s gun control position is well known. If elected she no doubt has the perfect timing and opportunity to devastate or Second Amendment and god given right. She no doubt will appoint a Superior Court Justice that will severely tip the vote more anti-gun liberal than it is now. Donald Trump is something altogether something different and an unknown. We do know despite coming out very pro gun he is also a New York Republican. That should not be underestimated. Learn from past mistakes and  buy 308 AR Lower Receivers Now.

I have lived in a state that had an assault weapons ban before the federal assault weapons ban of 1994. This state implemented further restrictions after the Sandy Hook shootings.

Why should I buy 308 AR Lower Receivers?

Why should I buy 308 AR Lower Receivers? There are a few answers to this question.

  • 308 AR Lower Availability – 308  Lowers stop being sold as separate parts as supplies dwindle. This is because firearms manufacturers need to commit inventory to complete rifles. This is simple economics
  • 308 AR Lower Cost –  The 308 AR Lower Receiver is the “Registered” part of the gun. Individual 308 Lowers are much cheaper to purchase than a complete 308 AR Rifle. In fact you can probably buy a lifetime supply of 308 Lowers for the cost of one complete 308 AR Rifle.
  • Grandfathered Firearms –   This detail is very important. Historically when gun laws change what a shooter currently owns with be “grandfathered” Meaning what you currently own you can do what you wish with to some degree. Gun law changes typically begin with new purchases with limited or minor changes to existing guns. Bottom line it’s better to own “Something” rather than “Nothing”

What 308 AR Lower Receivers Should I Buy?

While the choice of which 308 AR Lower Receivers to buy is personal preference I will attempt make a few points to consider before buy. In my opinion it’s best to buy 308 lowers that are as DPMS 308 compatible as possible (Not DPMS G2). Avoid the designs that use unique Bolt Carriers, Safety Selectors and Barrel Extensions. The DPMS 308 AR Upper and 308 AR lower are the most copied receiver profiles. This fact makes the style pretty interchangeable. If you are considering a 308 AR Lower that is somewhat unique in profile it would also be a great idea to buy the matching upper receiver at the same time.

 

Below are links to 308 AR Receivers mostly at Brownells. Keep a watchful eye on the Aero Precision Website. They are expecting to be caught up with the 308 rifle backlog very soon. Don’t forget to visit your local gun shop. Often they have overpriced but available stock. Look for gun shops that specialize in AR Rifles and Silencers.
