Arms Directory talks with Robert J. O’Neil, a highly decorated combat veteran, about his new line of AR-style rifles. Rob from Watchtower Firearms walks us through their AR-style firearms.

Todd : Can you tell us about the newest line of AR-style guns from Watchtower Firearms?

Justin : Absolutely. The new line is an evolution of our previous HDR, our standard mil-spec firearm with a billet receiver set. We’ve upgraded it with a PVD-coated bolt carrier group, extended controls, a three-port muzzle device, and a match-grade barrel with a 1-in-8 twist rate chambered in .223 Wylde.

Todd : What optics do you have for this line?

Justin : We partnered with Vortex for their new 3-power prism with an illuminated reticle. It has nice glass, is easy to use, and doesn’t cause the starburst effect that some shooters experience when shooting with glasses.

Todd : Can you tell us about the tactical flashlight you’ve included?

Justin : We’ve added a Night Stick tactical flashlight, a company known for law enforcement lights. This is one of their first ventures into the civilian market, and it comes with an M-Lok setup and a pressure pad.

Todd : What kind of sling have you added to the gun?

Justin : We’ve included a tactical sling from McLean. It’s set up as a two-point sling but can easily be converted to a one-point sling when needed.

Todd : What type of trigger is in this firearm?

Justin : We’ve replaced the standard mil-spec trigger with a RISE Armament 140 Rave trigger, which provides a crisp 4-pound trigger pull.

Todd : How can someone purchase this new line of firearms?

Justin : We recommend visiting your local firearm retailer. If they don’t have this newest model, have the dealer call us, and we’ll send it right out to them.

Todd : What is the price range for these firearms?

Justin : Depending on configuration and upgrades, the price range is between $1,980 and $2,200.

Watchtower Firearms has significantly upgraded its HDR guns, offering an exciting and versatile new product line for firearms enthusiasts. With improved components, partnerships with trusted brands like Vortex and Night Stick, and a competitive price point, these upgraded firearms will impact the market in a dynamic way.

Details On These Exciting Upgrades

AR-style rifles from Watchtower feature a tactical flashlight from Night Stick to venture into the civilian market. These new additions to its rifles come with an M-Lok setup and a pressure pad. These new full-size, long-gun light kits are made from 6061 T6 aluminum, featuring a super bright, tightly focused LED light rated at over 1100 lumens with a 2-hour runtime. The innovative Night Stick has an RPS Picatinny rail mount.

Bolt Carrier Group

Watchtower Firearms features a PVD-coated bolt carrier group, giving this critical component extreme durability and highly effective corrosion resistance. These upgrades on the bolt carrier provide a diamond-like coating or DLC in a modern finish. Coatings are created with a process known as Physical Vapor Deposition, making the molt steel extremely strong and resistant to adverse environments. The DLC coating makes the bolt virtually scratchproof, withstanding scratching and peeling. Among other advantages, it gives the BCG a striking dark grey finish.

Vortex

Vortex Optics is one of the most technologically advanced scope and binocular companies on the market. Watchtower and Vortex Optics have partnered to offer. Each AR model features an advanced 3X Prism Scope, which sits on sturdy, full-length 1913 Picatinny rail for extreme accuracy.

The new HD 3X power cuts inches and ounces off the original design, giving the rifle a near-perfect aiming point and weightless configuration. These Vortex scopes are a shooter’s dream come true. The Vortex AR-BDC4 Reticle gets the most out of the Watchtower firearm, with rapid target acquisition and holdover tools out to 650 yards.
