HM Defense

If you’re not familiar with the HM Defense brand, it’s likely because 90-95% of their production has been going to US and allied military, law enforcement and the special operations community.  They’re just beginning to open up commercial production and that creates a great opportunity for you to own a battle-proven AR platform rifle that looks as great as it shoots.

We think that the build quality of these rifles is equal to or better than some of the more well-known commercial brands that cost about twice as much.  It’s not just our opinion, either.  Our customers that have purchased these have come back to us as raving fans of HM Defense as well.  Yes, they look great, but there’s a lot beneath the surface that you won’t immediately notice.  Those improvements make for a better, longer lasting rifle.

For example, the bolt:  If there’s a weak point in the AR design, it’s in the bolt.  Typical AR bolts have the cam pin hole going all the way through the bolt.  That leaves just the two side walls of the bolt to absorb the recoil and twisting stress of normal firing.  The HMB bolt shortens and tapers the cam pin, eliminating the need to bore all the way through the bolt.  That gives you strength on three sides, eliminates friction on the firing pin and results in smoother operation, in addition to a bolt that will last significantly longer.  If you anticipate high round counts or just want a bolt that will last significantly longer than others, this is the one for you.

We have a lot of respect for a company that spends their money to produce a better product, instead of just adding “flash” to catch your eye.  These rifles are “lookers”, for sure, but there’s a lot of quality beneath the surface also.
