The first thing I do when I build a new lower is…put a Battle Arms Development BAD-ASS (Ambi Safety Selector) in it. Its seriously a must have! Most of your BAD-ASS packages will come with 3 different levers so you can swap them around and customize them to your liking. Well, with each set you buy that leaves you with an extra lever to tuck away somewhere. For those of you who have at least 2 levers left over Battle Arms Development has come up with an awesome option for you to be able to put them to good use.
You can now buy just the core and screws for the BAD-ASS and add it to your existing levers to create another complete BAD-ASS. You can choose to go with the standard 90 degree Core and screws for just $25.95 or this is also a great time to upgrade on the cheap to the 45 degree Core and screws for just $39.95. Whichever way you choose to go this is a sweet option for current BAD-ASS owners. You might want to pick up a selector detent while your there too. Click on the links below to get your own.
BAD-ASS 90 Degree Core and Screws - $25.95
BAD-ASS 45 Degree Core and Screws - $39.95

If you are looking for a new barrel and want one that is made to last, the Centurion Arms CHF barrels are some of the best you’ll find. I’m boring so I usually spend my Friday evenings after the kids go to bed snooping around a bunch of my favorite retailers websites. One of the ones I checked out was Weapon Outfitters and was pleasantly surprised to see that they were just freshly resupplied with a bunch of CA barrels. Right now they have 10.5, 11.5, 12.5″ and 14.7″ barrels in, all carbine length gas systems. Check em out at WeaponOutfitters.com.
I’m really liking the look of this new billet lower from S & J Tactical. A friend of mine owns one and loves it. This weekend they are running a sale on them for just $199 each which is cheaper than most billet lowers were even before the panic buying started. I think the nicest part about billet lowers is they have a much more industrial look than that standard forged lowers and this one is no exception. The S & J Tactical Billet Lowers usually sell for $250 but right now you can pick one up for just $199. Their website is still having some maintenance done on it so they are recommending that you go on the S & J Tactical Facebook Page and submit a message to them to order. This is a brand new run of lowers that will be in Monday/Tuesday next week so should ship pretty quick after that.
Just wanted let you guys know that our friends over at Midwest Industries have very nice Milspec M16 Full Auto BCG’s in-stock and at a super reasonable price. Just $149.95 each. These are MPI (Magnetic Particle Inspected) and feature a Carpenter 158 Steel Bolt, Carrier made from 8620 Steel and chrome lined Carrier and Gas Key. Nice to see the prices finally getting back to normal. Grab one for yourself at MidwestIndustriesInc.com.
Some times its just nice to buy something nice for that special one in your life. If that special one in your life just happens to be an AR15 you might want to look into picking up a set of these new Noveske RifleWorks Takedown/Pivot Pins. These won’t make your gun more reliable, shoot straighter, run cooler or anything like that but they look pretty sweet. And you can tell your AR15 that they were really expensive like a nice set of earrings when in reality they only cost $12 a pair. You’ll have to keep an eye on NoveskeRifleworks.com as these sold out in no time when they were announced yesterday.

These steel pins with nitride finish are a direct replacement for the factory rear takedown and front pivot on your AR-15. Easy way to freshen up the look of your rifle.
