The Truth About AAC?
Following SHOT Show 2015, Advanced Armament Corporation’s Mike Smith recently made a post on the AAC Blog to clear up “some of the wild rumors and unfounded speculation” about the silencer company, which has been under the purview of Cerberus Capital Management’s firearm and outdoor arm, Freedom Group for the past several years.

Regardless of how you feel about the tenor of his post, Mike does at least provide some official commentary on what is going on at the company: Continue reading
Silencerco Saker Brings New Suppressor Features to the Table
Silencerco, the driving force behind last spring’s Silencers Are Legal Shoot, which drew attention to the legality of firearms suppressors, has just released their latest product, the 5.56 Saker suppressor. First unveiled at the 2012 SHOT Show and now in full production, the Saker is billed as “the most advanced rifle suppressor on the market” and offers several key new features.
The first feature, which they call the Multiple Accessory Attachment Device (MAAD), is an interchangeable certerfire rifle mounting platform that allows the Saker to be attached to a variety of popular flash hiders and mounting systems. In addition to offering flexibility, the capability to attach the suppressor to existing mounting systems is a potential money saver.

The event, which will take place April 28, 2012 at the Elm Fork Shooting Range in Dallas, TX, is part of a larger Silencers are Legal campaign.
