ArmaLite 6.8MM Carbine

ArmaLite Inc

Geneseo, IL – -(Ammoland.com)- ArmaLite, Inc. is pleased to announce that it is now accepting orders for its M-15A4 Carbine chambered in 6.8 SPC II.

A VERY limited production run of this extraordinary firearm will begin in June, and will not be repeated in 2011.

Interested shooters are encouraged to submit orders immediately as we expect this run to be completely pre-sold.

ArmaLite’s 6.8mm carbine is especially well-suited to hunting. It is powerful enough to meet the minimum energy requirements of many states for taking medium sized game such as deer. At the same time, the 6.8mm is lighter than the 7.62, reducing the weight of ammunition carried into the field. As part of the AR-platform family, this carbine is also more versatile and ergonomic than traditional hunting models. The 6.8 is built with our mid-length handguard and gas system to provide the best in form and function.

Best of all, this carbine is an ArmaLite.

Ruger SR-556E Carbine

Ruger Firearms

Southport, CT --(Ammoland.com)- Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR), is pleased to announce the introduction of the new Ruger SR-556E, a value-priced derivative of the popular SR-556.

The new SR-556E features Ruger’s patent-pending two-stage piston and multi-stage regulator that runs cooler and cleaner than traditional AR-style rifles.

The Ruger SR-556E comes equipped with a new, lightweight, adaptable handguard which provides multiple options for mounting optics and other accessories.

This new, round handguard features a full-length Picatinny rail at the 12:00 position, which aligns with the rail on the flattop receiver.

The handguard also accepts sections of rail or handguard covers, available at ShopRuger.com, which allow the user to configure the handguard to their exact requirements while minimizing size and weight.

The SR-556E still offers the basic features that make the Ruger SR-556 family a success. The two-stage piston operating system runs cooler and cleaner than gas driven rifles, and the multi-stage regulator allows the operator to tune the rifle to the specific ammunition.

The cold hammer forged 41V45 barrel provides outstanding accuracy and longevity. The barrel is threaded 1/2-28 and is capped with the Ruger flash suppressor. The regulator, piston and piston bore are chrome plated, the transfer rod is nickel-Teflon coated, and the balance of the rifle is hard coat anodized or black oxide treated.
