Connecticut Spring & Stamping Unveils Aluminum Magazines for Military and Commercial Rifles
Laser-welded magazine offers durability, strength and consistency
Farmington, CT - Connecticut Spring & Stamping (CSS), a manufacturer of precision parts for the medical, aerospace, firearms and defense industries worldwide, announces that it is introducing its new premium quality aluminum magazine, ideal for use in military or commercial rifles. This is the first aluminum magazine to be laser-welded, a process that offers superior durability, and a stronger and more consistent weld than those constructed using standard resistance welding.
The first of the aluminum magazines to be introduced is designed for the AR-15 (commercial) and M16 (military) rifles. The magazines are produced to the government MIL-STD dimensionally tight tolerances. CSS uses extremely tight quality and process control, giving them consistent tight tolerance control over the magazine's feed lips, one of the most critical features of the magazine.
"High quality rifles need high quality magazines, and our laser welding process ensures weld durability, strength and consistency, guaranteeing that the new aluminum magazine is produced with the exacting tolerances required," said Steve Dicke, vice president of sales and marketing at CSS (https://www.ctspring.com/). "This is especially important in controlling the magazines' feed lip dimensions. If the feed lips are the slightest bit off dimensionally, the rifle could jam."
CSS also produces magazines for a variety of firearm manufacturers. Some of the newest examples are the FNH USA sniper rifle 20 round, 10 round and 5 round magazines and the Sturm, Ruger & Co.'s mini-30 magazine. In addition, CSS produces a number of other parts for the AR-15/M16, including all the springs, a large number of stampings, the receiver end plate, charging handle latch, ejection port cover assembly, and gas bolt rings. The company is now introducing the handguard cap for the AR/15/M16.
