DoubleStar Corp- -(AmmoLand.com)- Jesse Starnes, vice-president of DoubleStar Corp., continues his mission to build a match-quality 1911 pistol at a fair price. Starnes recently announced a contract agreement between DoubleStar Corporation and Storm Lake Barrels.

“We are producing a high-quality 1911 that delivers match-gun performance at a production price,” Starnes said. “We have accomplished that and more by fitting DoubleStar’s 1911 with Storm Lake’s American made match-grade barrels.”

DoubleStar’s Combat Pistol features components from such prominent names in the shooting sports industry as Novak, Ed Brown, Stryder and Greider. Another piece to the perfect pistol puzzle has been added by using the match-quality barrels provided by Storm Lake Barrels. “These barrels meet DoubleStar’s high standards, and Storm Lake Barrels is more than capable of keeping pace with the incredible response DoubleStar has had for our Combat Pistol,” said Starnes.

Starnes worked directly with David Tarlton, president of Storm Lake Barrels, to ensure that DoubleStar’s exact standards are met. Storm Lake Barrels is a Tennessee-based manufacturer specializing in pistol barrels. They have been recognized for quality craftsmanship and accuracy since 1983.

The barrels are made from select 416R stainless steel bar stock and hardened to 40-42 HRC. The material is completely machined, bored, heat treated, rifled, and finished using precision CNC machinery at the Lenoir City, Tennessee facility.

DoubleStar Corp. is a Kentucky-based firearms manufacturer specializing in tactical weapons for the law enforcement, military and shooting sports markets.

DoubleStar 420 AR15 - Handguard DoubleStar Corp. has created a handguard for use on 20 inch barrelled AR styled rifles that will allow both large and small handed shooters the ability to properly grip their rifles. The unique oval design used by DoubleStar offers this and much, much more.

Winchester, KY - -(AmmoLand.com)- “What is… the DoubleStar DS-420 Handguard,” answered DoubleStar President, Teresa Starnes.

The question, “Name the 12-inch handguard designed at the request of law enforcement to outfit their AR rifles with 20 inch long barrels. The handguard consists of a 4-rail picatinny system, is aircraft aluminum tough, and has a unique oval shape that fits both large and small-handed shooters.”

The DoubleStar DS-420 Handguard is a full 12-inches of aircraft-grade 60-61 T6 aluminum. This offers a tremendous weight advantage and strength to men and women in uniform, as well as shooting sports enthusiasts. The four-sided picatinny rail is a mil-spec system. This universal system enables you to mount a variety of tactical accessories to the forearm of the rifle. The 12 inch oval design leaves ample room for you to add accessories and allows both large and small hands the ability to grip the 20 inch barrelled AR rifles.

DoubleStar Vice-President Jesse Starnes said, “The DS-420 Handguard was specifically created in response to requests from law enforcement officers’ for a longer tactical forearm to fit the 20 inch barrelled AR rifles. Our unique oval design allows for lights, lasers and other accessories to be mounted on the forearm and at the same time gives shooters of all hand size the ability to properly grip the rifle.”

The snap-on installation has a spring pressure that forces the handguard against the front handguard cap. A tight fit forms, eliminating any side to side movement. This precision fit provides a stable base of placement for all tactical accessories.

DoubleStar Corporation

Winchester Kentucky -(Ammoland) Accuracy, reliability and American pride. They are qualities DoubleStar builds into each of its many AR-15 offerings. Now, the Kentucky-based manufacturer is bringing those same attributes down to size by building them into its first-ever handgun.

DoubleStar’s 1911 has been a four-year labor of love for Jack Starnes, president of J&T Distributing, a DoubleStar affiliate company. Starnes is a former 1911 competitive shooter with a longtime fascination with all things Colt. He started J&T Distributing more than 30 years ago with Colt products and reloaded ammo as a means of supporting his own shooting hobby.

Doublestar 1911

“What we set out to do was produce a high-quality 1911 that delivers match gun performance at a production price,” Starnes said. “We accomplished that and more.”

The handgun uses only American-made components and retails for less than $1,200.

DoubleStar started with a forged — not cast — steel frame to ensure maximum strength and accuracy. Forging produces a stronger frame by aligning the grain structure of the steel, whereas the annealing and heat-treating of casting may strengthen steel, but it still leaves hard and soft spots in the metal.

DoubleStar’s 1911 offers a parkerized, mil-spec finish and 1913 rail for laser, light and scope attachments. At 8 inches in length and 38 ounces unloaded, the handgun features a 5″ stainless steel barrel and a Novak white dot sight.

The 1911 is standard with National Match stainless barrel, Greider trigger and Ed Brown’s Memory Grip Safety. Grips are available in Ergo, Stryder, standard, fancy walnut and even exotic woods.

“We think it’s important to give buyers options that allow them to create a semi-custom handgun, yet the price doesn’t reflect that customization,” Starnes said.

The magazine capacity is 8 plus 1, and the magwell is beveled for an easier, quicker load. DoubleStar’s 1911 is also available with a round or square trigger guard.
