Primary Weapons Ratcheting Castle Nut and End Plate: No More Staking

The Primary Weapons Systems Ratchet Lock Castle Nut and End Plate Set allows the armorer to attach either commercial type or Mil-Spec Buffer Tube to your AR-10 &and AR-15 based weapon without the pain-in-the-neck of staking. Yes, it’s secure, and guess what PWS created this option considering the possibility that you might want or need to change a buffer tube before your weapon deadline. You’re not married to the installation, and it won’t require you to destroy anything to get it apart. You might even do it without any colorful language.

The endplate includes an integrated QD mounting point for your sling swivel so you can get hooked up and get on with it. Is it a huge thing? That depends on how badly you need it today. Is it evolution? Definitely. Why do we need it? Because It’s Time, we stop suffering over the small stuff and evolve.

Primary Weapons Ratcheting Castle Nut and End Plate Weight: 1.15 Ounces.

Available at Primary Arms, Brownells, Palmetto State Armory.

Aero Precision M5 .308 Exotic Tiger Stripe Builder Set

The May Builder Set features an “Exotic” Tiger Stripe finish from Nevada Cerakote. This unique set features hits of Burnt Bronze with golden highlights atop an Armor Black fade. The Tiger Stripe pattern is laser etched into the finish giving it a unique and comfortable texture. With the swirl of pop-culture references related to a certain feline monarch, you’d have thought we planned this, but the timing of our Burnt Bronze Ripshard is purely coincidental and we couldn’t resist having a bit of “Exotic” fun with the name. Snag a piece of pop culture history and set your next build off right with the May Exotic Tiger Stripe Builder Set.

Armalite AR-10 Magazines

Armalite AR-10® B-Series Gen II Magazines

These Armalite AR-10 Magazines are only for the series “B” Armalite AR-10, they were originally based on M14 magazines and modified to function in the AR-10B. If your AR-10 shipped with polymer magazines such as the Magpul LR-20 PMAG these magazines WILL NOT WORK IN YOUR AR-10. The Armalite AR-10 B-Series Gen II Magazines are battle-tested, ultra-reliable, and built to last.

Armalite generation II AR-10® magazines in 20-round capacity have proven to be a stunning success. Building on that success, Armalite now offers a full range of these fine magazines from 5 to 25 round capacity; covering all uses from big game hunting to hard military or Law Enforcement use. *Compatible with Armalite AR-10® B-Series Rifles.

What is Ferritic Nitrocarburizing (FNC)

Ferritic Nitrocarburizing (FNC) imparts high surface hardness, improved wear resistance and fatigue resistance to a wide variety of carbon steel, alloy steel and cast iron parts. Because the process is carried out at temperatures below 1100 F, retention of core properties and good dimensional control are achieved. In many applications, FNC treatment also improves corrosion resistance through the formation of a continuous compound layer on the work-piece surface which can allow for the elimination of subsequent protective plating operations or application of rust preventive.

Improve surface hardness and wear resistance with ferritic nitrocarburizing

The surface compound layer formed by FNC treatment is an epsilon iron-nitride compound and this layer may range in depth from .0002″ to .0010″ inch depending upon cycle parameters selected and base material being treated. FNC compound layer hardness values will typically range from 55 to 65 HRC depending on the base material being treated. Higher alloy steels with nitride forming elements (Cr, Mo, Ti, W, and Al) will have higher hardness compound layers than plain carbon and low alloy steels and will also benefit from the formation of an underlying higher hardness diffusion zone below the compound layer that gives improved fatigue life and helps to support the surface compound layer.

Ferritic Nitrocarburizing is often selected to replace chrome plating due to environmental concerns with plating. FNC also has been used to as an alternative process to solve problems with size change and distortion associated with higher temperature treatments like carburizing or carbonitriding.

Brownells Essential T-Shirts Support Local Charity

So I’m not allowed to wear firearm related clothing to work, that said my Rainier Arms and Larue Tactical lids have gone unrecognized or misunderstood. I’m thinking though with all the office personnel working from home I might be able to sneak these new Brownells shirts under the radar

How quickly life’s priorities change, huh? Barely a month ago, we were thinking about where we were going on Spring Break, eagerly anticipating March Madness, and gearing up for that first Springtime trip to the range. Now, we’re yelling at the kids, “Hey, go easy on that toilet paper!” and social distancing while trying to stay sociable, and wondering if we need few more boxes of ammo. The Brownells “Essentials” t-shirt reflects this sudden shift in priorities. And something else, too. Americans don’t quit. Sometimes a new problem gets a jump on us – at first – until we work together to figure out a solution and kick its ass. Keeping our sense of humor is critical: Anything you can laugh at isn’t really so tough, is it?

The Brownells Essentials T-Shirt is also about helping our neighbors. For most of us, the COVID-19 crisis amounts to some inconvenience and temporary changes to our daily routines. For others, it’s far more serious: sudden job loss and worrying about putting food on the table. Foodbanks all over the country have been hit by an enormous increase in demand.

Let’s work together to help: For EVERY Brownells Essentials T-Shirt we sell, we’ll donate 100% – yes, ALL – of the profits to our neighbors at the Northeast Iowa Food Bank.  Buy a t-shirt, get a souvenir of the Great Pandemic of 2020, AND help those in need. And remember… Wash your hands!
