Industry News: BNTI Arms Warrior Series 7.62 x 39mm Now Available Here’s what they had to say about it. BNTI ARMS LLC, in Jacksonville, Florida, is the U.S. headquarters for the manufacture of small arms intended for export to vetted African Armed Forces, Police and Para-Military units. BNTI is pleased to unveil its new BNTI Warrior Series AR/AK 7.62 BA Beast Optics Ready rifle. BNTI's new rifle combines the versatility and accuracy of the AR platform with the AK's harder hitting 7.62 round. “The age old debate AK vs AR… well, at BNTI ARMS, we say ‘why not have the best of both worlds?' Our new rifle takes the best of the AR and AK platforms and creates a reliable, accurate rifle that can be easily accessorized and fires a round that hits like a sledgehammer,” said Jim Pledger, President of BNTI ARMS. The new AR/AK 7.62 BA Beast Optics Ready Rifle's performance-driven design is engineered for extreme durability and reliability. From the precision-machined MIL-Spec forged lower and upper to the MIL-Spec lower parts kit, the rifle is filled with premium features not found in comparable rifles. BNTI ARMS rifles will deliver the accuracy, reliability and durability expected by militaries and American gun owners.
