M14 Thread Adapters

2010-06-27T19:03:12Z

The M14 thread adapter that we call the M14 Threaded Front Sight Base is again available. It has been improved by Smith Enterprise to be a billet machined part instead of a cast part making it even better than before. These have been in high demand and we had a two month waiting list for a while during the latest production run, but now they are back in stock and ready to ship. These have standard .308 threads of 5/8x24 allowing you to use a wide range of muzzle attachments on your M1A or M14 rifle. Available exclusively at www.nokick.com.

Tungsten Powder Buffer now available

2010-06-27T18:55:59Z

We have now started carrying the Spikes Tactical ST-T2 Tungsten Powder Buffer. It is designed for AR-15s with collapsable stocks. It weighs slightly more than a standard H2 buffer and instead of solid internal weights it uses high density tungsten powder to give it a smoother feel in operation. Additionally, it is made with billet machined aluminum instead of castings and has an exceptional black anodized finish. It also mates perfectly with the Primary Weapons Enhanced Buffer tube and Sprinco Tactical Recoil Spring for a complete upgrade of your rifle's back end.

Smith Enterprise AR-10 muzzle brake update

2010-06-27T18:50:40Z

This new muzzle brake that SEI introduced in late 2009 has been redesigned to be sound suppressor capable. This gives .308 shooters another high quality option for a compensator that is suppressor capable. Additionally, it comes with a jam nut but can also be used with a .308 shim kit if desired.

New .338 Magnum Rifle Muzzle Brake

2010-02-07T03:54:15Z

This month we added another excellent muzzle brake to our selection from Primary Weapons Systems. It is called the Precision Rifle Compensator or PRC for short. It's designed primarily for precision bolt action rifles chambered for any of the .30 cal and .338 cal magnums including the popular .338 Lapua magnum. But it also works very well on heavy barreled semi-auto rifles and rifles chambered for non-magnums like the .308 Win or the .338 Federal. This compensator is a little larger than the FSC30 and provides for a very clean look on a heavy barreled rifle. It has 4 ports on each side that vent slightly upwards to very effectively eliminate dust signatures from the brake. It also has a large expansion chamber inside the brake and the unique PWS porting design that keeps blast and flash from the ports to a minimum. The threads are 5/8x24 right hand which is the most common thread for .30 cal rifles in the US. For those of you who have a European precision rifle that has the metric 18x1mm threads, we will soon be stocking another muzzle brake for those fine rifles.

SHOT Show 2010 in Las Vegas

2010-01-24T01:54:27Z

I just got back from the 2010 SHOT Show at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas which is always productive and worth the trip. There still seems to be a very positive attitude across the shooting industry and there were plenty of new and innovative products coming to the market this year. The big Obama gun rush of 2009 seems to have leveled off a bit, but business remains very strong and optimism is high. I will be writing about some interesting products at the show in the coming weeks. We are also in the process of selecting what products to add to our product line for NoKick.com this year and prioritizing them. Some of the new products for us this year will include new muzzle brakes, grips, stocks and stock kits for all size AR rifles, AKs, Saiga rifles and shotguns, VZ-58 rifles, pump and semi-auto tactical shotguns, M1A and SOCOM-16 rifles, AR recoil springs and new stock tubes, new recoil pads, new pistol parts and much more. It will all be nothing but the best, no junk. So keep up with us to see all the latest and greatest gear!

New .308 AR10 Muzzle Brake

2010-01-03T00:34:55Z

Smith Enterprise Inc. (SEI) recently introduced a new muzzle brake called their AR10 brake. It will work well with any 7.62mm rifle with 5/8x24 threads. It is designed similarly to other SEI brakes such as their M14 USCG brake or their M1 Garand brake with the same general porting design. It threads onto the barrel and is tightened using a jam nut. Their previous designs have been very popular for years and have proven to be effective and the AR10 brake is already becoming a hit. We started stocking them this fall and there has been a lot of interest in them by shooters of .308 cal AR rifles and other military style rifles with 5/8 threads on the barrels.

Stainless Guide Rods from Bedair Machine Works

2010-01-01T23:34:00Z

We are now stocking solid stainless steel guide rods made by Steve Bedair at Bedair Machine Works. These are very well made and are a nice improvement to many of the plastic and stamped metal rods that many pistols come with today. We are initially carrying them for Sig 225, 239, 220, 226, 229 and Beretta 92 and 96 pistols. They look good, smooth out the operation of the pistol, are very strong and add a slight amount of weight under the barrel. Check them out.

Primary Weapons DC16 Complete AR-15 Upper

2009-09-04T03:14:51Z

The DC16 is a top quality, cutting edge AR-15 upper with a totally new long-stroke gas piston system. This baby provides everything you could want in a tactical AR-15 carbine for self defense, 3-gun competition or combat. For those of you who are familiar with the Primary Weapons original piston system, don't be confused, this is a totally new system. The gas system uses a very robust, AK style piston attached to the bolt carrier that moves with it, hence the long-stroke designation. This gives it many advantages over every other AR operating system. It has a smoother stroke and softer recoil impulse than either a short stroke piston system or a direct gas impingment system. It doesn't have the heat and carbon build up in the bolt and carrier like the direct gas system. And it also doesn't have the carrier tilt problems or extra parts and springs of the short stroke piston systems. Since the piston is connected to the carrier, it completely prevents any bolt carrier tilt which helps with wear and tear on the receiver and receiver extensions. It also has a longer dwell time which allows chamber pressures to drop, making extraction easier and smoother with less stress on the bolt parts. The forearm rail system is also totally new and is bolted directly to the barrel nut and gas block. It is a very clean, low profile design that provides excellent ventalation. It is mid-length which gives you plenty of room for whatever attachments you want to mount on it and maximum sight radius for your iron sights. It is also lower profile, lighter weight and stronger than most free-float arrangements. And no, it doesn't hurt your accuracy. Only top quality materials and components are used. It has a Daniel Defense cold hammer forged barrel with chrome lined bore, a Daniel Defense bolt/carrier group, the PWS gas piston, gas block, rail system, and FSC556 compensator, forged upper receiver and charging handle and Magpul XTM rail covers. The gas block and piston system are also QPQ coated for maximum lubricity, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The bottom line is in the performance and it is outstanding! Not only is the recoil impulse very soft compared to other AR operating systems, but the accuracy with the Daniel Defense barrel is also outstanding. The gas system operates very cleanly with very little carbon buildup. Maintenance is very simple and normally only requires a wipe down of the bolt, carrier and piston and cleaning the bore. The gas tube can be swabbed out and wiped dry after approximately every 4,000-5,000 rounds. So for those shooters who are looking for the latest cutting edge design that is built for hard use with superior performance, take a good look at the new DC-16 upper. Currently available at www.nokick.com.

New KAC 556 Compensator from Primary Weapons

2009-09-04T02:41:45Z

We are now stocking the KAC556 Compensator made by Primary Weapons Systems. It is a shortened version of the extremely popular FSC556 Compensator that is made to work with the QDSS-NT4 Sound Suppressor made by Knights Armament Company (KAC). It is a very efficient muzzle brake design that provides recoil reducing performance and flash reduction like the FSC556 but in a much more compact package. You can use it even if you have no need for a sound suppressor. If you are looking for an outstanding compensator with flash suppression in the shortest length possible, this is a great choice.

New FSC Custom Muzzle Brake from PWS

2009-06-06T03:25:00Z

We just started stocking a brand new compensator from Primary Weapons Systems (PWS). It is called the FSC-Custom. What makes it unique is that it uses thread adapters to fit several different thread patterns. Thread patterns available are 9/16x24 RH, 1/2x36 RH and 14x1mm RH. The FSC-C is patterned after the .30 caliber FSC30, but it is slightly narrower at .900" diameter. It is designed to work for calibers up to .30 cal. but it also works very well with 6.5mm and 6.8mm calibers. The 9/16x24 threads are most common on inch pattern FN FAL rifles, 6.5 Grendal ARs, and some M1As with direct connect threads instead of the standard M14 arrangement. The 1/2x36 threads are common on AR type rifles chambered for 7.62x39mm. Finally, the 14x1mm threads are common on many European tactical rifles like those from Sako and Tikka. One thread adapter is included with the FSC-Custom for the pattern of your choice. Another great thing about this unique design is that the back of the thread adapter is designed to act as a crush washer, so there is no need for additional washers to properly mount and index the compensator on your barrel. All in all, it is a great concept and it opens up the popular FSC muzzle brake design to a very wide variety of rifles.
