Lead
Safety
Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas,
cleaning firearms, or handling ammunition may result
in exposure to lead, a substance known to cause
birth defects, reproductive harm, and other serious
physical injury. Have adequate ventilation at all
times. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure to lead. |

1911
Mechanical Operational Rules
1. Always load the chamber by racking a round into
the chamber from the magazine.
2. Do not drop rounds directly into the chamber
and close slide.
3. Do not snap slide down empty.
4. Do not snap slide/extractor over chambered round/case
unless in an emergency . Have checked by gunsmith
if you do so.
5. Only use WR seven round mags.
6. Change mag springs every three months if kept
loaded.
7. Change pistol recoil spring every 1-2000 rounds.
8. Use only quality factory ammo with proper
bullet design. |

AR15
Mechanical Operation Rules
1. Be extra sure to keep the muzzle in a safe direction
while chambering a round, due to free floating firing
pin.
2. Use only quality mags: 20 round Colt with aluminum
followers or New manufacture german steel 30 round
magazines or D&L extreme duty magazines which are the number one recommended magazine. All AR15 magazines should be loaded two cartridges less than maximum capacity to ensure proper seating and function in the firearm.
3. Use proper bullet weight for barrel twist rate.
4. Use pointed bullets, with cannelure, and crimped
and sealed primer ammo, such as Federal TRU BTIPS. |

Notice |
|
| Your ammunition and magazine choices are critical to the reliability of your pistol. Quality ammunition produced by a reputable factory is a must. A cannelured cartridge case is highly recommended to minimize the chances of bullet push back on the feeding cycle. A rounded, well designed bullet nose, loaded to the correct overall length should be chosen to help assure feeding reliability. If you chose a bullet shape with a more blunt nose, such as many hollow point bullets have, extra capacity magazines (more than seven rounds) are not recommended. The only currently recommended seven round magazine is the WR#47. Higher capacity magazines are best suited for use with well rounded bullets loaded to full OAL specifications. Federal 230 grain FMJ ammunition is typically loaded to 1.260" overall length with a round nose bullet. This load has excellent functional reliability in a quality 1911 style pistol. Stubby, blunt nose bullet loads are not a wise choice. Stay as close to the overall length of 1.260" as possible when choosing your load of choice. A well rounded JHP load worthy of testing is Remington 230 grn JHP Golden Saber Ammunition. It is your personal responsibility to thoroughly test your firearm with the ammunition and magazines you intend to carry to assure their combined reliability is suitable for your intended purposes. A minimum of 500 rounds of live fire testing of your ammo and magazine of choice should be conducted before carry. Any malfunctions should disqualify the ammo and/or magazine from consideration. |
|
| +P rated ammunition is not recommended for your 1911 auto pistol. It unnecessarily slam cycles your pistol and results in excessive muzzle flip, blast, battering, and recoil. Use standard pressure/velocity ammunition. Specify non +P loadings when you order your ammo. This will help ensure the long term service life of your pistol. 230 grain jacketed bullets fired at approximately 850 FPS is a reasonable full power load. |
|
Warning |
|
| Carbine operators should always control the muzzle direction of their carbines, especially when chambering a cartridge. The standard AR15/M16 style rifle uses a free floating firing pin which makes light contact with the cartridge's primer during chambering. |

On
September 14, 1994 the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco &
Firearms enacted the crime bill of 1994 which prohibits
an AR-15 lower receivers from being assembled into an
assault rifle is defined as a rifle that has the ability
to accept a detachable magazine and has two or more of
the following:
- Folding stock or telescoping
- Pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the
action of the weapon
- Bayonet mount
- Flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate
a flash suppressor
- Grenade launcher |
|
| The
sale of assemblies in "Pre-Ban" configurations
(i.e. with bayonet lugs, flash suppressors, telescoping
stocks) are for use as replacement parts only. Such assemblies
MAY NOT be used to create new assault weapons as defined
by the Gun Legislation of 1994. |
|
| All
parts are available as high quality upgrades. It is intended
they be used in the repair and/or improved function of
semi-automatic weapons only!! Manufacture of a full
automatic weapon is illegal without prior BATF approval.
The purchaser assumes all liability for use of these parts
and the purchaser is responsible for obtaining legal approvals

FAQs |
|
| Can
I put a pre-ban barrelled upper on a post-ban lower? |
| You
can only have 2 features on a post-ban weapon. These features
are: pistol grip, detachable magazine, collapsing or folding
stock, threaded muzzle and/or flash suppressor, grenade
launcher, and bayonet lug. The standard AR-15 has 2 of
these with the detachable magazine and a pistol grip,
so if that is the configuration of your lower then the
answer is no. |
|
| Can
I put a short barrelled upper on my AR-15? |
| Unless
your lower receiver is registered as a Short Barrelled
Rifle, M-16 or a pre-ban pistol then the answer is no,
16" is the shortest length barrel you can legally
install. |
|
| Can
I install M-16 parts in my AR-15 to make it full auto? |
| No.
This is a felony without ATF approval. Contact the ATF
for details. |

Warning |
|
| The safety selector of your AR-15/M16 style rifle/carbine must be properly fitted with other components in the trigger system to mechanically block the components of the trigger group in a properly engaged position when the selector is "on safe". (Qualified gunsmith activity required) Moving the selector to the "fire" position, intentionally or not, will obviously allow the trigger to move to the rear, the hammer to fall, and the firearm to discharge. This is of critical importance to all involved, especially to those operating with any type of sling system. Do not drop any firearm to a slung position in a careless manner. Always follow all firearm safety rules. Control your muzzle in a safe direction at all times. Do not cover your own body areas, or those of others. In the event of dropping an "on safe" firearm to a slung position, there is still the possibility of the mechanical safety being pushed to the off position, the trigger being moved to the rear, and the firearm discharging. This is especially true then you are wearing other equipment in conjunction with your carbine. Do not place loaded firearms in carry cases or the same dangerous problem may occur. |
|
| High volume shooters, especially in high heat environments must remember that the chamber can become super heated after a volume of fire. Leaving a live cartridge in a super heated chamber may cause the firearm to "cook off" or discharge unexpectedly, with the safety selector in any position. Clear the chamber and allow the gun to cool. If you are operating in a dangerous environment that requires near instant firearm readiness, lock the bolt to the rear with a loaded magazine locked into the magazine well while you allow the firearm/chamber to cool. If the firearm becomes needed immediately, you can simply release the bolt to chamber a round and resume firing. |
|
Always follow all firearm safety rules |

Additional ammunition warnings for 1911 shooters. |
|
| High pressure, plus P, Plus P Plus, magnum level ammunition is not recommended for use in the 1911 style auto pistol. Newer frangible ammo, and lead free ammo often uses bullets made of non lead components. The lighter materials often mean ammo loaded with lower bullets weights. In an attempt to keep the recoil impulse similar to heavier bullet loads, pressure and velocity are often increased. Using high pressure light bullet loads is not recommended in your 1911 auto pistols. Hight pressure loads can slam cycle your pistol enough to cause damage, and rupture cartridge cases, causing additional gun damage, and or injury/death. Over powered ammuntion is not recommended. A full power load for .45 ACP is a 230 grain bullet @ 800-850 FPS. If you need a more powerful load, use a magnum handgun. |
