Wanted to share this project that SIONICS has been working on with the family of Matthew "Axe" Axelson who was killed during Operation Red Wings and was subsequently awarded the Navy Cross for his actions during that event.
We were asked to design and build a rifle that would end up as a limited edition run of 100 rifles. The prototype rifle was debuted at the NRA Show in Indianapolis this past weekend.
Some design stuff is being tweaked as is the final engraving but this is the basic run down. Rifles will be shipped in a custom Pelican case (tan) along with special challenge coins, certificate of authenticity, technical data sheet and a sling.
Profits from the sales will go to charities as dictated by the Axelson family.
SIONICS 18" Special Purpose Rifle barrel with Geissele low profile gas block and Battle Comp 1.0
Geissele 15' MKII rail system
SIONICS upper receiver with engraving
SIONICS lower receiver with special serial number range (AXE xxx)
Magpul MBUS PRO Sights
Battle Arms Development EPP/ETP pins and Selector Lever
Geissele SSA-E trigger
Vltor A5 buffer system
