In 2003, the Department Advanced Research Projects Agency started to work on a new bolt action rifle for the United States Marine Corps. Two years later the XM3 program started to take shape with a brand new bolt action rifle. With the help of Marine Scout Snipers, DARPA ended up putting a rough wish list together for their new rifle system.  When designing this new bolt action rifle, DARPA wanted a short action that had the ability to take a suppressor, was lightweight, and was capable of using night vision as well. They wanted to take their clip-on night vision off without needing to re-zero the optic every time. Along with the night vision requirement, DARPA also wanted better optics, better stocks and the ability to be suppressed.
Development of the M40XM series began roughly in 2005 with the help of Iron Brigade Armory. With the list of requirements in hand, Iron Brigade Armory started out with a Remington 700 action and made a number of changes to create the lightest, toughest rifle possible at the time. IBA made slight changes like making the barreled actions needed in a titanium Devcon and Marine Tex to allow for hard use while remaining as light as possible. IBA also had McMillian design a custom fiberglass stock for the project as well as NightForce with a special NXS 3.5-15×50 for the project.

After 5 configurations of the XM project, IBA settled on the final XM3 configuration. One of the biggest challenges with the XM3 design was the barrel profile and length. The rifle had to be able to hold a 10” group at 1,000 yards but be light enough to maneuver easily. After trying out multiple contours and lengths, they settled on an 18.5” barrel with unique contouring to maximize accuracy while reducing weight. This project once started, was completed in just 12 months thanks to the outside help of Iron Brigade Armory instead of the typical government contracts that take years to complete.

As a result of this project, the Marine Corps Precision Weapons Shop in Quantico, VA produced just 52 of these rifles with the XM3 designation. Seeing action overseas with our troops in Iraq from 2006-2012. In 2014, The Marine Corps transferred all of the XM3s to the US Army which then transferred them to the Civilian Marksmanship Program. These rifles sold for higher than anyone could expect but it was the first time in history, a complete US Government issued sniper rifle with documentation was available for purchase to the civilian public.

 

OPTIC:

Originally developed for use on military small arms, it offers an extremely versatile magnification range providing outstanding mid- to long-range capability. An NXS 3.5-15x50 was shot completely through by an enemy 7.62x39 round fired at a U.S. soldier…yet the unharmed serviceman used it for the next three days, completing his mission. The 3.5-15x50 adapts comfortably to a variety of rifle platforms, survives abuse that would destroy lesser riflescopes, and is impervious to heavy recoil. And, apparently, to enemy bullets.

 

SUPPRESSOR (TAX STAMP NOT INCLUDED)

Griffin Armament has released their next generation of rifle suppressors; the DUAL-LOK™ series. The DUAL-LOK PSR 7, is designed to be an ideal suppressor for 308 rifles. This new 30 cal suppressor is engineered to minimize sound, flash, and weight, and is advancing suppressor technology with 6 pending patents. 

The DUAL-LOK PSR 7 implements ECO-FLOW™ flow through vented baffle architecture that strikes the ideal equilibrium between signature reduction and reduced blowback. The result is less gas in your face and less sound attenuation at a shooter’s ears. Decreased back pressure also means increased reliability: you can spend more time shooting your rifle instead of tuning it. 

The Griffin DUAL-LOK PSR 7 utilizes a tubeless design; technology that Griffin imparted in 2010. This Griffin hallmark drastically reduced weight. The DUAL-LOK PSR 7 weighs in at 15.8oz.; that is incredibly light for a 8.9” .308 silencer constructed from 718 Inconel and 17-4 stainless steel. You can shoot confidently knowing this durable silencer will handle intense firing schedules; it is full auto rated, with no barrel length restrictions, up to 300PRC. 

DUAL-LOK suppressors earn their name from Griffin Armament’s innovative mounting system. The DUAL-LOK locking collar engages anti-rotational grooves on the muzzle device with 3 locking splines; your suppressor will remain locked while shooting and you can easily remove it after a day of hard use at the range day or a demanding hunt. The new DUAL-LOK silencers are affixed to the precision taper mount with ACME threads, providing repeatable Point of Impact (POI). Just zero your rifle once and you’re done. Griffin designed the DUAL-LOK without any wear points, this rock solid mount requires no disassembly or maintenance from the end user.

This brilliant 30 cal suppressor is also protected by Griffin’s PERPETUAL lifetime warranty: if your Griffin Armament silencer fails. they will fix or replace it from their HQ in Wisconsin. No warranty cards or legal fine print required, allowing you to shoot suppressed confidently with your new DUAL-LOK PSR 7.
