MARKETING NEWS
Mark Eliason, VP Sales & Marketing
More “Wow Factor”! …
This month we’re introducing another caliber in our new series of Windham Weaponry Arm Brace Pistols – the .223/5.56mm model. We showed you our .300 Blackout caliber version last month, and we also have the 7.62x39mm model. Other calibers will be unveiled soon, so “stay tuned”!
With its SB Tactical Pistol Arm Brace, this 9″ Barreled Pistol makes a striking impression. Add to that the 7″ Windham Weaponry Free-Float Railed Handguard, a Hogue Beavertail Pistol Grip, a set of Kriss Front & Rear Flip Sights and a Quick Detach Endplate with Quick Detach Sling Swivel for easy sling mounting, and you’ll see it’s accessorized to the max. More details are below, or on our website.
Also notable in this 11th month, we hope you took time to recognize our Veterans in whatever way you choose. We get to interact with many different veterans – active and retired – in our line of business, and to a man and woman, you can’t find a finer group of people. Though in their humility, they may never seek attention for their work or look for thanks, they all deserve it. We salute and respect them all, and offer our country’s thanks for their tremendous commitment.
or call us for a free catalog (1-855-808-1888) – We would love to hear from you.
As always, hunt and shoot safely, and feel free to contact us with any AR related questions.

FROM THE GUNSMITH’S BENCH
Erik Winter, Windham Weaponry Gunsmith
TOPIC:
Choosing the Proper Front Sight Post
This month I want to cover Front Sight Posts. Here at Windham Weaponry we use standard front sight bases on all rifles – with a full front sight base rather than the taller “F” marked (.040″ taller) front sight bases. Most of our rifles that come with a carry handle and full front sight base use a commercial carry handle and a standard A2 height front sight post. The commercial carry handle is .040″ shorter than a mil-spec carry handle in order to index properly with a standard front sight base.
Now if you want to remove the carry handle and use a rear flip sight, it is usually necessary to switch out the A2 front sight post for a .040″ taller front sight post because most rear flip sights on the market are at mil-spec height. It’s not always necessary as the specs of rear flip sights can vary slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer. But if you install a rear flip sight and find you have to wind the front sight post out too far to get the rifle to zero, then you should install the .040″ taller post.
 Now with our Dissipator rifles – which have a rifle length sight radius but a 16″ carbine length barrel – we install .040″ taller front sight posts on these with the commercial spec carry handle. The long sight radius with the carbine length barrel makes this combination necessary to zero the rifle to the proper elevation.
What this means for Dissipator owners is that if you install a rear flip sight (or a mil-spec carry handle) it will most likely be necessary to install a .060″ taller front sight post to get the rifle zeroed correctly and not have the front sight post screwed out too far.
We have all three front sight posts available to help get your rifle on target and we also have a very handy sight tool. This tool makes changing out front sight posts a breeze and is very handy for zeroing the rifle.
Here’s a Dissipator with a rear flip installed and the front sight post changed out to a .060″ taller post

CUSTOMER SERVICE CORNER
Cheryl Eliason, Customer Service Manager
This Month’s Question is:
I’d like to change the flash hider or muzzle brake on my rifle. What is the thread pitch on my Windham Weaponry rifle?
Answer:
Our rifles with the barrel stamped WW 5.56 1/9 or WW 5.56 1/7 have a 1/2″ x 28 T.P.I. thread pitch.
Our rifles with the barrel stamped WW 450 Bushmaster 1/24 have a 11/16″ x 24 T.P.I. thread pitch.
Our rifles with the barrel stamped WW 308 1/10, WW 762 x 39 1/9.5, WW 300 BLACKOUT 1/7 and 6.5 Creedmoor1/8 have a 5/8″ x 24 T.P.I. thread pitch.
Our rifles with the barrel stamped WW 9mm 1/10 have a 1/2 ” x 36 T.P.I. thread pitch.
Please Note: Our NJ compliant models have a pinned and welded muzzle brake which is permanently installed. We do not recommend attempting to remove muzzle brakes on those models as it may damage the barrel.

In this Section, we encourage our customers & friends to send us their comments, photos and experiences with Windham Weaponry products. What are you doing with your Windham?
We got a nice letter and target group photo from one of our Veterans this month:
Good Afternoon,
I shoot competitively with the All Guard Rifle and Pistol Team (National Guard).
I purchased a Gov’t. Model and a Vex Upper a couple years ago and use the Gov’t. model as a training rifle for the combat related matches that I compete in.
I have functioned as the Nebraska State Marksmanship Coordinator for several years and our Team Coach, as well as a shooter. I surely won’t claim to be an expert, but will claim to be a better than average rifle shooter.
Hate to admit, just getting the Vex upper cleaned up and scoped to shoot it. I should not have put it off for as long as I did……it is quite a shooter.
I do quite a bit of coyote calling……this will get used to bust them!!
Nice work on your part!
COL Todd Stevens
Nebraska Army National Guard
COL Stevens added these notes right on the target image he sent.:
“I have been shooting the Gov’t. Model quite a bit, and it will hold MOA to about 1.25 MOA shooting regular green tip ammo. It works pretty well! The group in the photo was shot after about a 30 round “break-in” on the VEX Upper. This 5 shot group was shot at 100 yards with a Weaver 4-16x Classic Scope set on 12x. Ammo – straight M855 green tip (LC). I have shot additional groups of similar size rather consistently. It shoots handloaded 65 gr. Sierre SBTs into little clusters like this also. Pretty decent! Nice job on putting this upper together! Guess I will have to keep it.
