In the gun community, the words “bargain” and “carbine” when buying a new rifle often lead to disappointment, poor quality and more money spent over time on upgrades to make your rifle shoot the way you want. We often find ourselves in a predicament where buying parts and assembling a modern sporting rifle or splurging and dropping the cash on a “high end”, factory product would have been less invasive on our pocketbooks. To everyone who has made those self-correcting mistakes…or climbed that learning curve; Richard Dyke, the founder of Windham Weaponry told the industry to hold his beer.

IF THE FOLKS AT WINDHAM WEAPONRY HAVE LEARNED one thing about weathering storms in an everchanging firearms industry and political climate, it’s that you’ve got to play the wind. It’s a lesson that those who work in the Windham, Maine, factory have learned time and again.

Windham Weaponry recently started offering its forged-in-house WW-15 mulit-cal lower receivers as stripped-down, stand-alone components for at-home builders. This is good news for those who want to stick with Windham components while saving money with a bit of do-it-yourself sweat equity. As soon as I heard this news, I knew exactly what I wanted to build with this lower.
At a trade show earlier this year, I got to handle Windham’s .450 Thumper (RP9SFS-450M). This 9″ barrel, gas-impingement-operated pistol is chambered in the beefy .450 Bushmaster rifle cartridge. Here was a model that scratched my itch for big-bore handguns and rifle-action pistols at the same time. But I didn’t want to work with a gun similar to the Thumper—I wanted to work with the same gun I saw on the floor!
