We are now fully stocked with AR-15 barrel nut shim sets. They work with all AR-15 barrels, including 223, 5.56, 6.8 SPC and 300 BLK. Our shims guarantee you perfect and hassle-free barrel nut / gas tube alignment within the correct torque specs every time. The best 5$ you will ever spend! Check ’em out HERE along with our instructional video.
.300 AAC BLACKOUT is coming soon to Bison Amory! The market has spoken, and people want .300 BLK. Look for our own newly designed 8.5″ and 16″ barrels and uppers to arrive in our store over the next couple of months. We will keep you updated here and elsewhere as the inventory rolls in and products become available!
The 8.5″ pistol Blackout barrels will only take a low profile gas block, but there’s no way to run one with a piston anyway. The 16″ pistol gas Blackout barrels are going to have our new CQR close quarters recon profile, with a 1:7 twist. They will be 6-groove, button rifled, and made from 416R stainless. For a hunting gun or tactical rifle that can reach out, nothing compares with 6.8 in the AR-15 platform. But for close in work, the .300 BLK is top notch. Pistol powders give it a lot of oomph from a small powder charge.
Our import permit has been approved and a fresh batch of 6.8 BSP bullets is now on its way here from Australia. Preorder now through our web-store HERE. We expect to start shipping orders around the end of May.
The July 2014 issue of Rifle Firepower is on newsstands now, and features a “First Shots” article about a father-son project to build a young hunter his first AR in 6.8 SPC for deer-hunting. Central to the build is one of our 16” 6.8 SPC barrels. The article also features a great discussion on the 6.8 Bison Subsonic Platform. Pick up a copy now or check out the preview HERE.
Our 16″ .223 Wylde barrels have just arrived!
Lightweight Recon profile, threaded, 6 groove / 1:7″ twist.

Bison Armory is proud to introduce its latest innovation: the FOREARM SKIN (Patent Pending) – a flexible but rugged cover that quickly zips securely around the forearm (and any rails) of an AR-15 platform rifle. The Skin’s ballistic nylon and neoprene construction protects the forearm and rails from damage and provides the shooter with unparalleled comfort and utility in all conditions.
WHY A FOREARM SKIN? Anyone who has carried an AR-15 in the field knows the ‘joys’ of handling an aluminium forearm for hours on end. The metal gets cold in the morning, so you wear gloves, which inevitably make your hands sweat. Once in the sun, the forearm absorbs heat and slowly roasts your hands until you put your sweaty gloves back on. And if your forearm has picatinny rails, then it’s either gloves all day or hamburger hands. But gloves don’t protect your forearm and rails from damaging impacts and snags on your surroundings. And exposed metal has a way of going ‘clink’ at just the wrong time. The rail covers currently on the market attach to picatinny rails, so if you aren’t running rails, you’re out of luck. And you can forget about comfort in any case, since the covers are all made of hard polymers. They increase the number of edges and perforations that can snag, while leaving portions of the forearm unprotected and doing nothing to promote sound dampening.
After years of hunting with AR-15s, we thought: “There has to be a better way!” Now there is. Forearm Skins provide a cushioned and insulated layer between you and your forearm, for an always comfortable grip and a streamlined, snag-free profile.
Specifications: All of our skins are 3-4mm thick, but compressible due to their neoprene core, so consider your clearances if you have a scope mounted. All of our Skins are also currently 9” in length. They cover the full length of a mid-length forearm, and partially cover intermediate, rifle and extended length forearms. On forearms longer than 9”, the skin can be positioned to suit the needs of the user in re hand placement and clearance for sling mounts, bipods, etc.

Construction: Forearm Skins are designed and made in the USA. The rugged ballistic nylon surfaces of our Skins enclose a neoprene core. The Skin is fastened with a color-matched YKK molded tooth zipper and a Velcro tab so the zipper-pull doesn’t rattle or snag.
Installation: If you can work a zipper you can install and remove a Forearm Skin. No tools are required for installation or removal, and the Skins work on forearms with or without rails. The Skin fits snugly around the forearm, and will not shift once installed.
Care: Forearm Skins are washable and will not shrink or deform. Mud, blood, whatever – just hand wash with water (and maybe a bit of household laundry detergent) and drip dry.
We’ve created a new instructional video that you can use to help with the installation of Bison Armory barrel nut shim sets. You can purchase shim sets at our web store HERE, which will help you get perfect alignment and torque when installing your AR-15 barrel. Our shim set works with any AR-15 barrel nut that requires correct alignment. The instructional video is featured on YouTube and we’ve embedded it below:
