BG Defense | Type-A Rifle Company has recently shown off their latest offering with their new M110 Clone.
BG Defense | Type-A Rifle Company states “The legendary M110 SASS weapon system was originally designed as a replacement for the M24 bolt action sniper rifle. With a faster rate of fire and the addition of a quad rail, the M110 was more modular and better suited for urban fighting than the older M24 weapon system. In April 2008, the 10th Mountain Division in Afghanistan was the first to receive the new M110 system and quickly became impressed by the higher rate of fire compared to the M24, modularity, and overall build quality of the rifle.
Knights Armament later came out with updated M110 models, but the original variant was a classic GWOT rifle. With extremely high asking prices for deployment kits, the M110 Clone is the perfect way to own something incredibly close to the iconic original variant. The AR10 Platform started as a simple request from a Law Enforcement Department to manufacture a 308 in a short platform for densely populated areas. So we did just that.
We knew we wanted to stay with a traditional AR10 large frame so we married the Armalite cut with some key features of the DPMS SR-25. This is one of the first platforms where weight wasn’t our first consideration. We wanted a stout and accurate system that had an aggressive stance.
This TYPE-A M110 Clone is built on our all-new Ambidextrous Billet AR10 Armalite platform with upgraded mil-spec components to make it an incredibly versatile firearm. The 18″ M110 Clone is equipped with a 18″ 416R Stainless Steel Lightweight Contour barrel, and our new Mk14C handguard. It’s also equipped with a Griffin’s Dual-Lock PSR (OTB) Muzzle and fully furnished with an Milspec A2 Fix Stock and A2 Pistol Grip. The TYPE-A 20″ M110 Clone is driven by our TYPE-A Titanium Nitride coated bolt carrier group w/R.E.M. Polish. It’s also equipped with our improved TYPE-A PMC Straight 2-stage trigger to give it consistent reliability time after time.”

I see Type-A has expanded their marketing efforts beyond just having Matt E. shill for them on TFB. This company is garbage, selling rifles for KAC prices without the KAC pedigree/history/quality/etc, like they gotta be the type of people who just love the smell of their own farts, maybe that’s what the Type-A name means. Ever since they first appeared selling rifles for $3k-$4k that were equipped with Parallax Tactical handguards that B. King’s Firearms is selling for $80, I knew they were shady as hell and to be avoided. But in the interest of being fair and balanced, I’ll say something positive by stating that I have seen some of their rifles that have very nice aesthetics.
