XCR Pistol (19 Sep 09)   New XCR Pistols Approved!!!

We use the XCR Mini or Micro upper receivers to make XCR Pistols.  We have received an approval letter from the BATF approving the sale of our XCR Pitsol with the sling plate attached to the back of standard XCR receiver.  Click here for the BATF Letter.

To stay NFA compliant, you need to know this:

1.  You cannot add as stock to an XCR pistol or a barrel less than 16" long to an XCR Rifle, unless you have registered the receiver with the NFA branch as as short barreled rifle (SBR).
2.  You can put a 16" barrel on an XCR pistol and then add the stock without registering the receiver with the NFA Branch as an SBR.  However, once you do so, you may not convert the firearm back to a pistol configuration without registering the receiver as an SBR.  This is the BATF's rule:  Once a rifle, always a rifle.  Sounds crazy but this is what they enforce.
3.  Don't even try to buy a pistol from us and a stock at the same time.  We won't sell them to you together.  Don't be dumb.  Register the lower receiver as an SBR if you want to put the stock on an XCR with a barrel length less than 16".
4.  We disclaim all liability for this legal explanation.  It is our interpretation of the law based on the letter and our conversations with the BATF.  If you want to legal counsel, ask our own attorney.

We will begin shipping XCR Pistols the end of September.  Order yours now.

XCR Pistol built using the Micro Upper Receiver 5.56 7.5" barrel and no buttstock.  Note:  We are making a sling plate with a QD sling attachment point which bolts on in place of the stock.  We'll post pictures of the sling plate in a few days.

XCR-M .308 (Updated 10 Aug 09)

This rifle is our highest priority item and at this time our major focus.  It has been designed to use the SR-25/DPMS/C-Products .308  magazine.   This rifle will be available shortly.  We'll post here when they are available for order.

Enhanced  Trigger (updated 10 Aug 09)

This trigger is two-stage with a 3.5 pound pull.  We're calling it an "Enhanced Trigger" rather than a match trigger for several reasons.  First, match triggers usually have very small tight control surfaces and/or small screws or springs that cannot hold up under tough use.  Our Enhanced Trigger is a very light two-stage trigger that is very controllable whether shooting paper at a distance or at moving targets.  We are taking orders for the Enhanced Trigger now.  The parts consist of a a new trigger, hammer, and disconnect.  They can be added to existing XCRs without modification to the rifle.  Rifles with this trigger are shipping.  Kit's to update existing rifles should be available in August or September.

 Ambidextrous Safety

We have designed a new ambi-safety which is more paddle like and has a shorter arm.  These have been ordered and will be arriving shortly.  These parts are available for order on rifles now.  Parts ordered to update rifles should be available in July.

Buttstocks (updated 10 Aug 09)

We have decided on a design.  It is now being prototyped and ready to be put into production.  We're in the process of having the parts bid.  We will post pictures after we have issued orders for the parts.

6x45 Caliber (Updated 10 Aug 09).

This is on hold temporarily.  We're working on this caliber which is not new but is nevertheless very interesting.  The idea behind this caliber is that one modify 5.56 brass and find projectiles from 70 grain to 107 grain.  6mm projectiles have great cross sectional density.  The other neat thing about this caliber is that one can use 5.56 bolts and magazines.  Corbon will be offering this ammunition.

6.5 Caliber (Updated 10 Aug 09)

This project is on hold. We are going to try a new chamber to see if we can get the forces down.  If we do, we can get the 6.5s going right away.  Cross you fingers. 

M96 Expeditionary Rifle  (Updated 10Aug09)

We are considering making just over 100 M96 Recon Carbines beginning in the Fall of 2009.   This will be the last of the M96s made.  Do not trouble our sales staff with questions concerning this.  They will be sold over the web only.
