MARKETING NEWS
Mark Eliason, VP Sales & Marketing
Here’s to an Early Spring!
Windham Weaponry has been assembling rifles as fast as we can make the parts, so we already know it will be a busy Spring!
This month, we are featuring our HBC (Heavy Barreled Carbine). With a 10 round magazine (as shown below), it is complaint with regulations in the State of Maryland. This model is also very popular in many other States. The combination of the straight turned heavy barrel and reliable mil. spec front and rear sights appeal to many shooters who are looking for the best value in a modern sporting rifle.
Whatever State you live in, Windham Weaponry offers many models for target shooting, hunting or general plinking, so be sure to see them all at www.windhamweaponry.com or call us for a free catalog. As always, hunt & shoot safely, and feel free to contact us with any AR related questions.

FROM THE GUNSMITH’S BENCH
Erik Winter, Windham Weaponry Gunsmith
TOPIC:
Installation of the Elftmann Tactical Drop In Trigger
First make sure rifle is unloaded then remove upper from lower. Now drive out the hammer and trigger pins to remove hammer, trigger and disconnector. Then unscrew and remove pistol grip screw and carefully remove being sure not to lose the safety detent or spring. Note orientation of detent for reinstallation later. Remove safety selector.
Included is a bottom plate that is optional. It’s primarily for carbon fiber lowers so the tensioning screws don’t crack the lower. But there’s really no reason not to install it as it will keep the tensioning screws from marring the finish on the inside of the aluminum lowers as well.
Make sure the tensioning screws are even with the bottom of the assembly on both sides and drop the trigger in.
Install pins and safety selector. It’s important to install the safety selector before securing the tensioning pins as it will not go in after tightening them down.
Now tighten the tensioning screws evenly on both sides tightening each side ¼ turn each until the screws are snug and the hammer/trigger pins are secure. Then install the locking screws on top of the tensioning screws to keep them from backing out.
Also note there is a trigger pull weight adjustment screw in the rear of the assembly which allows you to adjust the weight of the pull. Clockwise makes it heavier, counter clockwise makes it lighter. If it is adjusted too heavy the trigger won’t pull, if it is adjusted too light the disconnector won’t release.
If you ever have questions about your rifle, you are always welcome to call Windham Weaponry Customer Service (Toll Free: 1-855-808-1888). Shoot Safely!

CUSTOMER SERVICE CORNER
Cheryl Eliason, Customer Service Manager
QUESTION: Do you make a left-handed AR rifle ?
ANSWER: We do not make any of our rifles with a left side ejection. All our rifles have a brass deflector behind the ejection port opening and the ejection path for the brass is usually at the 3 to 3:30 position. We do offer a flat top brass deflector that will direct the empty cases down just in front of your feet. Here is a link to the item on our website:

Subject: Found out about your company
Hi to All,
Just wanted to drop a line of my recent learning of Windham Weaponry. I had stopped by a local gun shop I often visit and was looking to buy a new AR. I had mind set to purchase a new Colt, that’s what I have always wanted being a combat vet, I had a attachment to Colt. The gun shop owner was helping me out with the 6290 LE that I was looking at. He also had a Windham Weaponry MPC next to it. So, as I was looking at the Colt I had asked him about the MPC. He had told me the story behind Windham. I had both rifles in my hand now at the time, I was studying both rifles really hard. Keep in mind my heart set for the Colt.
To my surprise I noticed that the MPC had a better feel of tighter tolerances and seemed like it had a better solid feel over the Colt. I thought long and hard about the MPC so I told the owner that I would be back after I did some more research on Windham Weaponry. Did a lot of research on YouTube and so forth to find alot of review’s positive reviews on Windham Weaponry.
So, in short, I went back to the gun shop and made my mind up to purchase the Windham Weaponry MPC. I am very, very, pleased with the attention to detail you all take to your rifles and the fit and finish. I have to say and with alot of people agreeing with me on this, that Windham rifles are absolutely one of the finest AR rifles on the market. I’m glad I learned of your new company, and proud to own one of your products. Thought I would share my story with you all and thank you for building quality products made in the USA!!!! And one other important feature of your quality rifles is PRICE!! Way to go!!
Thank you again,
Eric
