NEW!! IRON SIGHT 15 Forged AR15 Upper Receiver

Posted on May 24th, 2013 by ar15news

The new Iron Sight 15 forged AR15 upper receiver’s are now available for purchase.  You might be thinking exactly what I originally thought, “So what, its an AR15 upper”.  Well, you’re right.  The part that makes this upper receiver different is the care taken in finishing the product and really making it one of the nicest I’ve handled.  I was able to get my hands on one for the last week or so and I’ve gotta say….I’m pretty impressed.  

After installing the Dust Cover and Forward Assist I mated it up with a 5.56 Black Hole Weaponry barrel housed in a Seekins Precision MCSR v2 15″ rail.  Slapped on a BattleComp BC2.0 and it was done.  Everything went together nicely and just seemed to click.  I was a bit worried about the anti-rotation tabs on the Seekins rail as some uppers have issues in that area but again, fit like a glove.  

As you’ve probably already noticed there is some laser etching on the left side of the upper.  I typically don’t really care for this kind of thing but it seems to have really grown on me and I actually like it on this one.  They have also added the laser engraved T-marks.  

All in all, I would say this is a very nicely made forged upper receiver.  Nothing extremely different other than the care with which it was created.  I’ve copied the details for the Iron Sight 15 Forged AR15 Upper Receiver below.  The IS15 upper retails for $119.99 but they were nice enough to offer all AR15NEWS readers a discount code.  Use the code “AR15NEWS” at checkout and save yourself $5.  Purchase one for yourself at ISFifteen.com.

PSA M4 Carbine and Midlenght CTR Rifle Kits On Sale

Posted on May 22nd, 2013 by ar15news

After the recent rash of panic buying there is a large number of people that have extra stripped lowers laying around the house.  If you’re looking for something good to do with them, right now Palmetto State Armory has their Midlength CTR Rifle Kit on sale.  I like this kit for a couple of reasons.  First, the barrel is made for PSA by FN so you know its good to go.  Second, it comes with the CTR stock instead of the standard M4 or MOE stock.  Third, its just $650.  If you are looking for just a standard M4 they also have that one on sale as well for $600 but with no CTR.   Details listed below.  Purchase at the links below

Ever Wonder What To Do With Those Extra BAD-ASS Levers?

Posted on May 18th, 2013 by ar15news

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
