  • Ike from Big Tex Ordnance sits down with Jack Leuba and Ash Hess from Knight's Armament Company for an inside look at their latest product innovations. Jack shares his background as a Marine grunt and competitive shooter which led him to a career at Knights in 2012. Ash outlines his 22 years in the Army including multiple combat tours before joining Knights in 2018.
    The two discuss Knight's new line of suppressors featuring groundbreaking purge technology to reduce backpressure and operator toxic gas exposure. Jack explains how 3D printing has revolutionized their manufacturing capabilities allowing for rapid design iterations and increased production capacity. The hosts highlight the importance of the skilled employees at their Florida factory who do the hands-on work to make these products possible.
    Ash and Jack give a preview of several new products being unveiled at SHOT Show 2024 including a new series of 5.56 and 6.5 Creedmoor rifles with fully ambidextrous lowers and rigid URX 4 handguards optimized for suppressor use. They also touch on the benefits of the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge for military applications. Jack emphasizes these new products represent an evolution building on their proven legacy designs while incorporating customer feedback to meet emerging needs.

    Should of talked about the mrrg contract and why you guys did not get that one. Would be interesting since you've been working on the 6.5 for so long

      Small mistake on my part. We didn't make the cut.

    I'll be honest out of all the podcasts this was one of the most uninformative ones, probably because there's really nothing new.
    We'd like to hear the questions people are asking on boards, unless they said no to certain things. One of the big ones, lowers where? Where did the 16" guns go? Updates on 11.5 urx4 pistol lead times.
    No one wants to F4 an SBR when they can F1 and only wait a month.
    What happened to the USSS 3.2 CQB uppers with 4.1 rail? Do they plan on doing anything focused on the consumer side or still only contracts?

      Love me some intellectually rigorous, straight-faced murderTech. This is what muricans call an ‘economy’ in 2024?
