S & J Tactical Billet Lower On Sale This Weekend!!

Posted on May 18th, 2013 by ar15news

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.  They just launched their new website so head on over to S&JTactical.com to place an order for your new lower.  his is a brand new run of lowers that will be in Monday/Tuesday next week so should ship pretty quick after that.

My buddy Dustin over at CIV Tactical is doing a pre-order on M16  BCG’s and I think we all need to jump on this deal.  I’ve seen a lot of bad BCG’s lately, specifically ones that look like a 3rd grader assembled it and used a crayon to stake the carrier.  If you want one that has been assembled and inspected by a Certified Gunsmith, this is the pre-order to get in on.  The price is perfect at just $165 each, there is no limit on how many you can order and they’ll be shipping next month.  Sure you could just wait for one to pop up on some random website out there but you’ll either pay a bunch more for it or you’ll probably get a junk one like many other people have been getting.  I know Dustin, he is meticulous and will make sure these are perfect.  Orders must be in by 5/21/13 to make the cutoff for this pre-order.  Pre-order these with confidence at CIVTactical.com.

**UPDATE**  We finally received answers to the questions you guys had regarding these BCG’s.
1.  What material is the bolt made from:  Shot Peened 9130 Steel.  Very similar to 158 Carpenter, 9130 is used in most “Enhanced/Improved” bolt designs such as the JP Enhanced Bolt, etc.
2.  Is the BCG HPT (High Pressure Tested) and MPI (Magnetic Particle Inspected).  The BCG’s are not individually tested to keep the end users cost down but ones from the batches that go into full rifles are. 

Every CIV TAC Bolt Carrier Group is individually hand inspected and assembled by a certified gunsmith

Just the other day I saw Pat Rogers say, “For those unaware, Rob makes the best steel targets available.”  A recommendation like that shouldn’t be taken lightly.  If you’ve heard guys like Pat Rogers, Pat Goodale, Chris Costa, Matt Jacques, Steve Fisher, etc. talking about how awesome TacStrike’s 1/4 scale steel targets are and you still haven’t bought one, maybe this will help persuade you.  TacStrike will be coming up on just their 2 year anniversary in July but they’ve already made such a huge impression on the shooting community that they’re basically the first name anyone thinks of when looking for quality, affordable steel target systems.  To commemorate their 2 year anniversary, TacStrike has lowered the price on their 1/4 Scale Steel Target to just $200 and has a goal of selling 200 of these in the next 2 months.  Target images and details are listed below.  Take advantage of this awesome offer and help them meet their goal of 200 at TacStrike.com.

TacStrike 2 yr anniversary sale1

Chris Costa TacStrike Steel Target

The TacStrike 1/4 Scale Steel Target System were not designed for the occasional use in a backyard or weekend match.  It was designed for Firearms Instructors who are responsible for training thousands of shooters every year and need a Target Line that will stand up to the hundreds of thousands of rounds that will be sent downrange.  This means that the average shooter will have their Quarter Scale Steel Target System for a lifetime of use.

TacStrike’s 1/4 Scale Steel Target System was designed over years of training shooters at one of the nations most notarized shooting schools.  Pat Goodale and PFT Team Members have coordinated for more than a decade to design the most functional target design on the market.  Now on its 6th generation the PFT has reached the pinacle of function and durability.

The AR 500 (brinell hardness of at least 495) plate floats inside of the carrier allowing it to absorb the impact without the need to swing to the rear or rock in the carrier to absorb the bullet impact.

The Upright mounts into the base plates center 2×2 pocket and has an armor plate attached to the front of the post to keep those low rounds from damaging the post.

The base of this target system also holds 1×2 or 2×2 uprights at the right distance apart for a standard IPSC or IPDA target.  So there is no longer a need to take multiple bases to the range or redesign your target line if you are the owner of a range.  Simply pick the upright and plate out of the base and replace with uprights in the outer pockets. Tension screws are located on the outer pockets to lock in either size wooden upright you are using.  Drain holes in the pockets and stake holes in the base arms are also pre-cut for your convienance

-   Height – 54 inches
-   Weight – 52 pounds
-   Base Width – 22 inches
-   Plate Size – 18 inches x 9.5 inches
-   Ballistic Capability – Rimfire to Centerfire Rifle and Lead Shotgun Loads and Slugs (no steel shot)

2 Year Anniversary Price Available Only At TacStrike.com
