Custom Weapons, “Uncle Gordie Said” price cuts

1677

By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor

I am instructing Mike Chester to deal on weapons this fall.  We expect another phony gun and ammo price hike tied to recent events and will do what we can to head it off.  There will be substantial discounts for two gun purchases, simply use this coupon code when calling or writing in:

“Uncle Gordie said.”

Our featured weapon this month is the Grendel.  We had put off doing one of these just because the name sounded funny.  Well, this is a hard hitter. straight shooter with CHEAP AMMO and very high reliability.  If you ever wanted to hunt with an AR but don’t want to lug one of our .308 AR10s around like I do, the Grendel is the answer.

Why in the name of all that is holy isn’t at least the Marine Corps using this as a sniper weapon.


The 6.5mm Grendel AR Long Range Rifle

(123 grains still supersonic at 1000 meters with high accuracy)
fff_659 fff_663 fff_658 fff_662 fff_661 fff_660

Loadout: This makes it simple, move up from 55 grains bullets to 123 and larger, double the effective range and take this away, laid out perfectly for any tactical assignment imaginable. With inexpensive and very available Grendel ammunition, this is now a go-to alternative.

6.5 Grendel

20 inch chrome moly barrel with Melonite finish

15 inch slimline rail with removable sections

Premium quality muzzle brake

custom pistol grip

Blackhawk stock

full auto rated 6.5 bolt carrier group

UTG tall Harris style bipod

Pentax 3-9X40 Gameseeker scope

25 round stainless steel magazine

fff_676While the AR-type rifle in traditional calibers is assumed to be a 400 yards or less cartridge, some enterprising folks have turned a variant into a longer range performer. Bill Alexander and Janne Pohjoispää developed this round as a way to make a standard AR rifle reach out to 800 (and more) yards. It’s designed to fit in a standard AR magazine size, so it gains its extra oomph by using a larger diameter case to launch a long and thin bullet.

Most 6.5 Grendel bullets weigh between 90 and 140 grains, with a common one landing at 123 grains and moving at over 2,500 feet per second. The low-drag projectiles maintain supersonic velocity past 1,000 yards. It also carries over 1,000 foot-pounds of kinetic energy to nearly 450 yards.

Ammo is fairly easy to find and can be had for a reasonable price. I was able to find it at an online retailer for $6.99/ box of 20. (35¢/round which is only 4-5¢ more than 223)

$999    $899


 

This is our largest offering of custom tactical weapons thus far with more calibers and barrel lengths. We have added a new complete AR carbine for less than $500 and several new handguns.

Dealer quantity discounts are available on most units offered though some are low production or “one of a kind.” There are many weapons in inventory that are not listed including a good supply of curio and relic military weapons. To qualified armorers and enthusiasts, custom multi-cal “kit guns” and tools are available for bug-out informal travel.

Note that we offer AR and 1911 armorer classes though our affiliation with Sonoran Desert Institute’s School of Firearms Technology. Included are Associate of Science in Firearms Technology, gunsmithing certificate courses and full combat armorers courses as well. See the link to VT partner Brighton College or contact Gordon or one of the Mike’s, Chester or Harris (we have more) for details.

For further information or to purchase any of these guns, please contact Mike Chester at Chet’s Firearms of Howell, Michigan. chetarms@charter.net or phone 517-548-9558. Ask for Mike. Prices do not include shipping to your local FFL.


New AR-15 Carbine for under $500

MOS_8777

One of the things we pride ourselves on is “dressing” a gun properly. Most of what we offer comes fully equipped as we think most people would like it, but we thought that some people would prefer to “dress” their own gun or they wanted a basic affordable AR-15, so we are offering one at a bargain price. This does not come with a lot of bells and whistles, but we did not skimp on the quality. This gun handles and shoots every bit as well as one costing much more. We start with a 16 inch chrome moly barrel in .223/5.56 Wylde, add a standard AR hand guard, a front sight post with sight and muzzle brake, mounted on a sport side upper. We put this on an aluminum lower for maximum strength and light weight. Many manufacturers stop there and sell similar rifles without a rear sight. What good is a rifle with only one sight? We added a Magpul M-BUS folding rear sight so you can actually aim it. We include a 30 round aluminum magazine. We only have 2 of these at this price and when they are sold, we may not be able repeat this offer.

Rimfire .22 long rifle “Real AR”

fff_699

fff_698

fff_697

Several manufacturers built .22 caliber rifles that resemble AR-15s, but they are one trick ponies as they can only use 22LR ammo. Here at VT, we don’t like one trick ponies so when we decided to build a .22 carbine, we built it on a real AR-15 lower. This means when you want to shoot something more substantial than a 22LR, you don’t need to buy a whole new gun. You only need to buy an AR-15 upper in the caliber you want, push out the takedown pins, remove the 22 upper and replace it with the more powerful upper. You now have a .223/556, .300 blackout, or any other caliber available for the AR-15 platform. You can shoot low cost 22 for target shooting or plinking and changeover to a defensive or hunting caliber in less than a minute. This rifle comes with a standard AR pistol grip and adjustable stock.

No optic, foregrip, flashlight, or laser is included at this bargain price, but they are available for a slight upcharge. It comes with two 28 round 22 magazines that fit into a standard magwell so no special adapter is needed. We can custom build another upper in any caliber when you want to add one – Prices vary depending on desired configuration. Call Mike for prices and specs.

.458 SOCOM “Hand Cannon”

fff_617 fff_616 fff_615 fff_614

The .458 SOCOM round is a large game round capable of taking down a moose. It also makes an excellent home defense round if your home gets invaded by large game. (last night I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I’ll never know. – Groucho Marx)
This is the round that the Navy and the Coast Guard use to shoot holes in pirate ships and drug runners’ boats. It would be the round to use if you want to shoot through the engine block of a ‘56 Buick. It can send a 350 grain projectile down range at 1800 feet per second.
Who would be crazy enough to build a pistol to shoot this mighty round? – We would. Are you man or woman enough to handle this beast? Only you can answer this question. If you ever want to be able to hear anything again, ear protection is a must when firing this gun. This uses a standard 223 magazine in a single stack configuration. a 30 rounder holds 13 of the SOCOM rounds which is way more than you will need.

9mm AR Based Survival Carbine 32 Round

fff_607 fff_608 fff_609 fff_610 fff_606

AR-15 Carbine in 9mm
This rifle shoots the very popular and affordable 9mm round that is used in millions of handguns around the world. With ammo prices on the 9mm coming down and the .22 going up, they now cost about the same to shoot and the 9mm is a much more capable round. With 16 inches of barrel the bullet reaches much higher velocities and therefore has more hitting power than if fired from a handgun. this is an excellent shooter with no noticeable recoil.
