We are proud to announce the release of 4 new production models for 2011.
Our newest production models will feature the same exacting tolerances as the production models that we already offer. These new models will also feature some of the top performance products and accessories that are available for the AR-15 platform.
Our new models are currently available and will be listed on our webpage with more in depth detail.

Snazzy setups. I do have one question/comment. Please correct me if I am wrong. On the top picture you have what appears to be magpul BUIS, with the front one on the gas block. I thought magpul said that was a no-no due to heat. Does the piston design reduce heat to the gasblock?
Thanks! The piston system substantially reduces heat to the gasblock. This is the reason that we employ this particular piston system. It incorporates a picatinny railed gas block that is at the same height of a flattop upper receiver, thus allowing you to run both front and rear BUIS on a rifle even if you do not have a quad rail on that particular rifle. _ Justin

It looks like an adams arms design piston system, and if thats the case the gas block does get VERY hot (I have one) and it is recommended that you don't run a MBUS on it due to the possibility of the plastic heating up and melting.
I'm not trying to bash you here, and I may be mistaken, but the gas block looks the same as mine, and I wouldn't dare try and touch it after shooting a couple hundred rounds through it

We do utilize the Adams Arms piston system for our piston driven rifles. The gas block will still heat up during use but will not reach the same temperatures as a gas driven rifle. We have torture tested these sights repeatedly on the Adams piston system and have yet to have one melt or warp in any way do to heat from the gas block. We would not run the MBUS on the gas blocks if they did melt or warp in any way due to over heating. It shows that both companies (Magpul and Adams Arms) make a dependable and durable product, otherwise we would not use them on our weapon systems. Thanks _ Justin
i picked up one of their piston rifles last year and have had my MBUS on the gas block since i bought it and i shoot the hell out of this rifle and have had zero problems with melting of the MBUS
I also run Magpul MBUS sights on my AA piston. Over 1500rds and no issues.
