Tactical Rifle Alert... Shooting Gallery

[Marshal Halloway]

Short notice, guys!

Outdoor Channels "surprised us" by airing this episode tonight (03/05/08)

Performance Rifles
The hottest topic in all of shooting is the phenomenal growth of AR-15 style military-style rifles for
competition, hunting and self-defense. Erik Lund is the U.S. Shooting Academy's AR-15 expert,
and he takes us from the operation of the rifle, the basics, right into advanced training for selfdefense
as part of his Performance Rifle course.

Wed 8:00PM

That stinks because my Cable provider just up graded it to the HD channels and I no longer get it with my package and They can't get out to me for another week to upgrade my box.

  I saw the program and I was just wondering what brand of AR that Eric Lund was using in his hammer firing demo.  I noticed that the buttstock was really different?  During this segment, Michael was using a stag arms AR, but Eric never said what his was.  Thanks

I liked the program, and I was watching carefully at how Erik was using that Viking sling...

I believe that stock is an LMT SOPMOD stock.

Alot of the rifles Erik runs are Sabre Defense since they sponsor the 3 gun sport so much. Erik just happens to win a rifle at about every 3 gun match he shoots. I think the buttstock you are asking about is the Magpul M93a and its on a Colt registered M16 lower.

Yep, 00 bullett is correct.  It was a CMMG 16" SS (1/8) Midlength upper, with Troy Industries rails and rear sight and a PRI gas block/front sight combo.  It was outfitted with an EOTech 552 sight.  Lower is a Colt M16A1 lower with a Magpul M93 stock.

Right after that show was aired...Marshal and I kept getting phone calls and e-mails asking/telling/ commenting/ on and saying "   Isn't that the Down Range guy?  And.... That's the Erik on Down Range isn't it? And hey, we just saw your man Erik on TV....

And the best one was "Isn't that your guy that we just saw?"
I could only cry and weakly reply.." Only in my dreams sir.. only in my dreams..

I'd like to put in a big ole plug for the out-of-the-box Stage Arms rifles I was using. They were rocks, especially the one fitted with the Aimpoint M4...first five shots sub-MOA at 100 yards with Wolfe ammo...
