NEW!! AR15 QD End Plate From Impact Weapons Components

Posted on May 1st, 2013 by ar15news

Just wanted to show you guys a sneak peek at the new IWC QD End Plate.  The IWC QD End Plate features a rotation limited socket and is made on a CNC machine from a single piece of Billet Steel Manganese Phosphate instead of stamped steel or aluminum like most other end plates.  According to IWC these can be staked per Mil-Spec.  I have a ton of IWC accessories and will definitely be adding a few of these to the family.  The IWC QD Endplate will be available in just a couple of weeks so I will get you updated information and pics as soon as its available for purchase.  Normal retail price is super affordable at just $23 but you can use the code “AR15NEWS” at checkout to save 5% on this and pretty much everything else on ImpactWeaponsComponents.com.       

This is how the IWC QD End Plate looks as a raw, uncut piece of Billet Steel.

NEW!! IWC Enhanced Side Charging Handle For FN SCAR

Posted on April 25th, 2013 by ar15news

While I for the most part only post about AR15 parts here on AR15NEWS.com I will occasionally make an exception if the new product warrants our attention.  In the case of the new SCAR CHARGER Enhanced Side Charging Handle from Impact Weapons Components I know that a ton of our readers are not just AR15 nuts but also a fan of other rifles as well including the FN SCAR.  If you’ve ever had a chance to handle an SCAR you’ll probably remember the small round bar that is the factory charging handle.  IWC has created an upgraded Charging Handle gives you additional realestate to grab onto when using the CH but doesn’t really add any additional weight.  It is also angled so it gives you the option of mounting up or down depending on how your optics are mounted.  

Overall, I’d say its another well thought out upgrade from Impact Weapons Components.  Not to mention that at just $35 its  a steal.  Use the code “AR15NEWS” at checkout and you’ll save an additional 5%.  Doesn’t get much better than that.  Purchase the new SCAR CHARGER for yourself at ImpactWeaponsComponents.com

IWC’s “SCAR CHARGER” eliminates the possibility of injury and torn knuckles caused by the factory FNH Charging Handle running into your optic mounts when charging your SCAR.

The location and design of the FNH Factory SCAR reciprocating Charging Handle can sometimes be a major problem–especially if you are mounting optics with a QD lever system. Your knuckles will take a beating for sure.

IWC’s “SCAR Charger” Charging Handle is uniquely designed to lower the contact point for the Operators hand, providing clearance for your knuckles to pass freeley under the Optic Mount, avoiding injury.

Control of the SCAR Charger is improved over the factory FNH Charging Handle. CNC machined and relieved center section of increases the amount of edged contact surfaces on the SCAR Charger, improving grip, with or without gloves.

IWC’s SCAR Charger is virtually the same weight & length as the factory FNH Charging Handle, ensuring the weapon functions and cycles as designed.

The outboard, pointed end of IWC’s SCAR Charger can now be used as gouging / tearing weapon, similar to the function of the charging handle found on AK type weapons.

“SCAR CHARGER” Charging Handle Specifications:

Hassle Free installation. Single piece design is removed / installed exactly the same way as the factory FNH Charging Handle.

Designed to function flawleessly on ALL SCAR models: MK16, MK17, MK16S and MK17S

Save your knuckles! IWC’s SCAR Charger Charger’s contact patch is angled down and away, which moves the shooters hand away from the top rail and optics mount.

The SCAR Enhanced Charging Handle can be mounted angle down or angle up and on either the ejection port side or non-ejection port side.

CNC Machined from a single piece of 4140 steel, then plated with Melonite finish for incredible wear & corrosion resistance.

Weighs just .371oz

Magpul MOE Handguard Bipod Mount for just $16

Posted on April 10th, 2013 by ar15news

If you are like myself or many other AR owners that have built a nice lightweight AR with a Magpul MOE Handguard on it you’re no doubt familiar with Impact Weapons Components and their line of Mount-N-Slot components.  IWC is the premier manufacturer of light mounts, sling attachments, hand stops, etc. designed to work with the MOE Handguard.  One thing that’s been kind of lacking is the ability to efficiently attach a bipod to the MOE handguard.  With bipods you have two options.  Either mount it to a 1913 picatinny rail or to a sling swivel stud.  Instead of buying an adapter for your bipod to mount to a picatinny rail and then buying a small rail section for your MOE handguard you can just buy the new IWC Bipod V2 Mount-N-Slot.  This mount will work with any bipod that mounts to a standard sling swivel stud and as shown in the pics below it allows the bipod to rest against the MOE to give it better stability and strength.  Its a nice low profile design but it also is much more affordable at just $15.95.  Don’t forget to use “AR15NEWS” at checkout to save 5% off of this and the rest of the awesome products IWC makes or carries.  Get  yours at ImpactWeaponsComponents.com.

BIPOD-V2 MOUNT-N-SLOT – Made by Impact Weapons Components in Colorado:

NEW IMPROVED BIPOD MOUNT-N-SLOT:

WEIGHT REDUCED BY 0.6 OUNCES, TO 1.23 OUNCES TOTAL WEIGHT

HEIGHT REDUCED BY 30%

INCREASED STABILITY AND LOWER PROFILE IMPROVES ACCURACY The higher the bipod is relative to the bore, the more stable the rifle will be on top of it because for the same height off the ground the bipod legs will be wider. Swivel-style bipods should be mounted as “high” as possible so that their swivel axis is as close to the bore axis as possible, which reduces sight/barrel movement for the same amount of rotational correction for leveling.

100% LIFETIME WARRANTY. PERIOD. Return for full refund including your shipping charges

DIRECT attach design eliminates the need for 2 separate mounts; 1- A bipod mount and 2 – A Picatinny MIL-Spec 1913 Bolt-on Rail Section

SPEND LESS MONEY: Compare to $50.00 or more for a Bipod Mount + a Rail Section + Shipping Charges

Accepts any bipod which attaches to a standard sling swivel stud

Ergonomic, DIRECT attach design eliminates all sharp edges which can ensnarl the operators gear

Attach BIPOD-V2 MOUNT-N-SLOT once and leave it on; BIPOD-V2 is the same height as a Picatinny MIL-Spec 1913 Bolt-on Rail Section

47% lower profile than a separate Bipod Mount and Picatinny MIL-Spec 1913 Bolt-on Rail Section

If you’ve been paying attention at all to the AR15 market you’ve undoubtedly noticed the abundance of new rail/handguards, starting with the Noveske NSR, using a new feature called KeyMod.  My favorite KeyMod rail is the Fortis REV in the image below.  KeyMod is basically an attachment system for accessories that doesn’t require the use of a 1913 picatinny rail and was designed by VLTOR.  Up until now every ones been asking the question “Where’s all the KeyMod accessories?”.  Noveske has come out with a few but we want more!!  Finally I can confidently say that they are on the way!  Earl over at Impact Weapons Components has been working very hard on this and is planning on offering a full line of Handstops, Light Mounts, Sling Mounts, etc. using the KeyMod attachment system.  The first to be offered will be the new KeyMod Handstop.  Right now they are doing a Pre-Order for the new KeyMod Handstop which is just a few weeks out.  Pricing is only $34.95 but as with everything on the Impact Weapons Components website if you use the code “AR15NEWS” at checkout you’ll save 5% off your order.  Get in on this pre-order at ImpactWeaponsComponents.com.  I’ll keep you guys informed as more IWC KeyMod components continue to come in.

WEAPON CONTROL MOUNT-N-SLOT is designed to provide a low profile, ergonomic and highly functional device for enhancing weapon control.

Direct Attach Design saves weight, reduces part count, increases weapon reliability and increases the function of the WEAPON CONTROL MOUNT-N-SLOT by placing it directly against the surface of the hand guard / fore end.

The operator can place them in any single KeyMod Slot, usually along the bottom of the hand guard, allowing the weapon to be pulled into the shoulder pocket, or directly attached to the side of the hand guard, allowing the WEAPON CONTROL MOUNT-N-SLOT to index perfectly in the web of your hand, like a GLOCK or 1911 would, for proper alignment behind a weapon mounted flashlight.

DIRECT attach design eliminates the need for 2 separate mounts; 1- A Hand Stop Mount and 2 – A Picatinny MIL-Spec 1913 Bolt-on Rail Section.

Ergonomic, DIRECT attach design eliminates all sharp edges which can ensnarl the operators gear.

55% increase in usable hand guard grip area by eliminating the Picatinny MIL-Spec 1913 Bolt-on Rail Section.
