The American Success Story- Windham Weaponry WW-308 by John Rufino<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the gun community, the words \u201cbargain\u201d and \u201ccarbine\u201d when\nbuying a new rifle often lead to disappointment, poor quality and more money\nspent over time on upgrades to make your rifle shoot the way you want. We often\nfind ourselves in a predicament where buying parts and assembling a modern\nsporting rifle or splurging and dropping the cash on a \u201chigh end\u201d, factory\nproduct would have been less invasive on our pocket books. To everyone who has\nmade those self-correcting mistakes\u2026or climbed that learning curve; Richard Dyke,\nthe founder of Windham Weaponry told the industry to hold his beer<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where It Started<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2006, Dyke sold the Bushmaster brand to Cerberus Capital;\na group of industry outsiders [rumored<\/em><\/strong> to be funded by George Soros\nand his socialist cronies] who subsequently bought a number of industry leading\ncompanies including Remington Arms Company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In typical business fashion, the purchase of Bushmaster left\nhundreds of hard working \u201cDown Easters\u201d out of a job. Cerberus backed Mr. Dyke\ninto a corner, requiring him to sign a non-compete clause in order to close the\ndeal. Translation: He couldn\u2019t manufacture similar products for a period of\ntime that would compete with Bushmaster products.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be that as it may, Mr. Dyke\u2019s non-compete clause expired,\nand he was already thinking of his next move, and since he owned the land where\nBushmaster was, and his rolodex of former Bushmaster employees was still full,\nhe took to the phones, knocked on doors and solicited all of their expertise.\nFrom there, Windham Weaponry was born! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few years later, the very first Windham Weaponry rifle was\nbrought to market. The same work ethic that re-established the Bushmaster brand\nin 1976, and for 30 years; made in Windham, Maine by his loyal and longtime\nemployees produced reasonably priced black guns with unsurpassed quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Choice Was Simple<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, a carbine chambered in .308\/7.62 x 51mm had been on\nthe horizon for quite some time. In modern market, most .308 gassers sell for\nover $3000 if we were not willing to compromise quality, aesthetics and\nfunctionality. We researched, and to no surprise [knowing what we do now]\nWindham Weaponry was the obvious choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to locational restraints and geographic residency, the\nhard hitting and reliable 150-178 grain bullet would be considered \u201cexcessive\u201d\nby some\u2026but for us, it\u2019s what we wanted. Of course, firearms aren\u2019t always <\/em>an instance of necessity, rather\nthan wants and what is pertinent within our 2nd<\/sup> amendment right!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing what I wanted, and a budget in mind; Lou\u2019s Gun Shop<\/em> in Raritan, NJ had a\nWindham WW-308 in stock. The price tag was sub $2k and after doing the\npaperwork with an MSRP of $1645, we carried the rifle out the door for $1550. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After compiling a list of \u201cmust haves\u201d and \u201cwants\u201d, the\nWW-308 checked out across the board, as I went down the features list. The fact\nthat we had some periphery of the company behind the affordable and reliable\nbang stick helped too. If you\u2019re anything like us, when spending $1500 on\nanything, there is a level of remorse that comes with the purchase. Once we\nhandled the rifle, we felt none of what we would call remorse. We had an idea\nof what we wanted to customize in the future but wasn\u2019t anything that we would\nconsider urgent; mainly\u2026optics, paint and furniture\u2026the typical AR customization\nfeatures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What You See Is\nWhat You Get<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
WW-308 in it’s original form from the LGS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When you are at the gun shop, the WW-308 could be looked\nover as \u201cjust another black gun\u201d. There isn\u2019t a variety of Cerakote colors, no\nambidextrous controls, or nickel or stainless bolt carriers. The WW-308 is a\ndirect gas impingement, anodized rifle that has a Midwest Industries 15\u201d\nKey-Mod hand guard to accommodate bipods and Magpul \u201cfurniture\u201d and Hogue ergo\npistol grip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WW-308 is manufactured in house. Living in New Jersey,\nand in order to be compliant with state laws, we installed a Magpul MOE Fixed\nstock instead of the standard 6-position carbine stock that comes from the\nfactory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you will get with the WW-308 is a DPMS style, <\/em>forged receiver set that will\naccommodate MAGPUL, LANCER or any other mil-spec magazines. Functionality is\nmade possible by the standard controls that you find in most other AR\nplatforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While at the range the WW-308 hosts a 16\u201d chrome lined\nbarrel that is rifled with the standard [.308] 1-10 right hand twist. Virtually\nthe same specs as most high dollar platforms. Coming from the military, we\nappreciated the ample quick detach swivel points that are placed within the MI\nhandguard. In total, there are 7 points where the end user can attach their\nfavorite sling device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another feature that Windham Weaponry took account to during\nthe design and outfitting processes; its end user experience. While having all\nthe points to accommodate your method of carry and employment, the rifle is not\na tank, a feature that many other 762\u2019s cannot relate to. The WW-308 tips the\nscales at 7.65 lbs unloaded.  There is\nenough \u201cass\u201d behind the gun where short to medium range shots are rigid and\naccurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out of the box, and on the range, we would be remiss if we\ndidn\u2019t mention the receiver fitment and present [not annoying] tolerance\nbetween them. We did not see it as a show stopper and did not appear to have\nany direct impact on our shot placement throughout testing. IF you are one\nwhere tight tolerance and tight fitment is an issue, Brownells has a plethora\nof receiver fitting devices for sale for a minimal cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out of the Box<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you get when purchasing the WW-308, is both standard\nand unique; what you would expect with a company like Windham Weaponry. The\nrifle comes secured in a hard-plastic case protected by eggshell foam. This is\nnotable because this allows the end user to spend their money on ammo or optics\ninstead of a high dollar weapons case. \nWindham includes one 20-round Magpul P-Mag, and a black web sling with\none QD swivel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At The Range <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once we finally got the WW-308 to the range, our intent was\nto test its accuracy and reliability; the cornerstones of gratification with\nfirearms. Again, living where [during the winter months] shooting is hit or\nmiss (pardon the pun), loaded up and began our quest to for the gun to put our\nmoney where Windhams mouths were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 18 months of ownership and 2000 rounds through the pipe, we knew there was a lot of potential in this rifle and sought out improvements in areas we felt were to be desired. Our goal was to transform our WW-308 in to an \u201call purpose carbine\u201d to be patrol ready while also capable to reach out and touch something. We knew the Magpul Fixed Carbine stock wasn\u2019t adequate to reach our goal, managing recoil with our gun in raw form was a beast, anticipated recoil and inconsistent groupings we let it kick our ass. We installed the Magpul UBR for it\u2019s larger \u201cweld surface\u201d while also being comfortable in multiple shooting positions. We also installed a Magpul Bipod to aide a stable shooting platform when needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We mounted a Trijicon Accupower 1-8×28 34MM scope in\nKnight\u2019s Armament 34MM rings to the top of our rifle and hit the range using\nFederal Premium 165 Gr. Urban Tactical Tip for a 100 round rapid fire. We mixed\nup our rhythm in shooting slow and multiple shots in rapid succession.  Throughout all of our iterations of fire, our\nrounds found themselves placed within a simulated 3\u201d vital zone of our\ntarget\u2026from 100 yards away from the muzzle. Our biggest takeaway aside from the\nquality and reliability [while shooting] was the fact that the WW-308 dispersed\nheat efficiently and didn\u2019t throw a debilitating mirage after heating up the\nbarrel.  As far as consistency,\ndurability and comfort is concerned, the WW-308 is ahead of the curve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We discovered our Magpul Bipod lived up to it\u2019s perception\nof ruggedness. Like the rifle we mounted this on, Magpul nailed high value with\nan over engineered piece of gear at an affordable price. The trigger on this\nrifle is mil-spec as mentioned but not disappointing. From the factory Windham\ninstalls a standard 6.5lb trigger which is not unreasonable, and while on the\ntopic, totally adequate for most end user\u2019s needs. We upgraded to a Timney\nAR-10 Competition trigger, a 4lb single stage trigger designed specifically for\nAR-10 Platforms. Their curved bow design is a middle ground for traditional curved\nand flat bow triggers, keeping resets quick with less travel\u2026. needless to say\nwe\u2019re fans! From the factory or gun shop, the standard trigger is smooth and\ncrisp, again, adequate for most end users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We began our accuracy testing with 3 loads of factory\nammunition, shooting 5 group shots of each load 3 times. Staring through the\nTrijicon Accupower, the WW-308 put up magnificent results in our 100 yard\naccuracy testing. From the Prone our blaster spit through 3 loads of ammo at\nsub-MOA. Hornady\u2019s 168-gr Match BTHP ran away with our testing shooting (2)\n.31\u201d sized groups, with an average .51\u201d (.48 MOA). Barnes\u2019 175-gr BTHP Match\nwas our next best load with a best .69\u201d group and an average of .80\u201d (.76 MOA).\nIt was a photo finish for 2nd and 3rd place as our Federal Premium 185-Gr\nMatchKing Load shot 2 identical groupings to the Barnes, but our \u201cworst\u201d group\nwas slightly bigger than the former bringing the average .82\u201d (.78 MOA). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Hornady 168gr BTHP Match bested our accuracy testing.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In our testing the Hornady was on a different level from\nit\u2019s competition, we knew the barrel\u2019s 1:10 twist rate found it\u2019s best accuracy\nfrom a 168-gr HP bullet, but really likes Hornady with results 3x as tight\ncompared to other 168gr loads we\u2019ve used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow Through<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After shooting the WW-308 for the first time, we put together a list of \u201cdo differently\u2019s\u201d for the next outing. We still experienced no buyer\u2019s remorse whatsoever, and we were not left with the un-scratch able \u201ctacticool\u201d itch that we as gun owners often feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Our WW-308 modified to our liking<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our rifle was modifyable and going into purchasing it, doing just that was our intention. The WW-308 has lived up to our expectations and we will continue to build upon the rock solid platform. To sum this model of Windhams arsenal in a few words, we would classify it as \u201cThe Swiss Army knife of AR10 platforms\u201d.  <\/em>The key components of the WW-308 perform well but leave room for improvement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are expecting everything that goes into a $2600 [or more] rifle with WW-308, you will be disappointed and have the buyer\u2019s remorse we wrote about.  Knowing that a price tag of $1645 will allow you to customize to your personal needs and wants with quality behind the product and a transferable lifetime warrantee you will be very happy with this purchase. We invested $600 in common upgrades to our rifle, making it a $2200 rifle with performance comparable with a $3000 [or more] rifle and were further impressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Windham Weaponry is truly an American success story and\nproof that loyalty in the workforce still exists. When Richard Dyke asked his\nformer employees for his trust (again) to make great quality rifles at an\nattractive price point, their response was astounding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE ACCUPOWER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The Trijicon Accupower 1-8 is optimal for short and medium range engagement<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Since we spent $1500 less on our rifle by not going high end, it expanded our budget to buy a high quality optic, let’s be real we would have purchased it anyways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trijicon introduced the Accupower 1-8 at SHOT 2017 with well reception and I can see why (pardon the pun), there couldn\u2019t be a more versatile optic with this accuracy. We knew our rifle would best serve as a \u201cgeneral purpose\u201d carbine for close range engagements but if we needed to reach out and touch something it would rise to the occasion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\n1x power is excellent for short distance engagement as a reflex sight, while at\nfull power we were able to ring steel out to 1000 yards. First of its kind, the\nfirst focal plane enables fast target acquisition, ideal for competitive\nshooting where hundreths of a second matter and for security forces when lives\nare on the line. You may also be a range nerd like myself where you don\u2019t shoot\nbeyond 200 yards often, a high powered scope isn\u2019t appropriate for your\napplication however when seldom opportunity arises to shoot medium-long range\nthis scope gets it done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scope is beefier than competing LVPO\u2019s, but it\u2019s tank stature has a good home on a 308 rifle. AR-308’s can abuse optics where they lose zero from the bolt slamming home. Through 500 heavy rounds ours held zero, we\u2019ll sacrifice extra ounces for reliability and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turrets\nare adjustable in \u00bc MOA increments (or .1 MIL) for fine tuning. Once zeroed our\nfavorite feature is the tool-less zero stop to efficiently make adjustments in\nthe field. The 28mm objective lens offered impeccable clarity and brightness,\nfor our 100 yard accuracy testing we shot sub MOA with 3 different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\nwould be remiss if we didn\u2019t mention the short 32 hour battery life but\nbatteries are cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We knew our rifle setup was perfect leading us to believe our results were a testament to the Accupower, the optic will be purchased from Trijicon and will be an essential part of our content in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solid Stance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The Magpul Bipod is rugged and affordable made of high quality materials<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Shooting in the prone and off terrain called for stable forward support in the form of a bipod. We needed one durable enough for .308 while staying within a budget. Until Magpul threw their hat in the ring, selecting a bipod for a large caliber rifle that was affordable and durable mixed like oil and water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magpul created a game changer, filling a void in the market for a rugged bipod and a $100 street price offers affordability for everyone. Parts are made from stainless steel for the internals and same hard polymer used in their stocks and P-Mags for the exterior, it\u2019s a tank. Using the weight of the rifle for counterbalance, the bipod is a very primal(yet innovative) design scrapping the use of spring tension, using it\u2019s structure for fast deployment and reducing the risk of malfunction with minimal parts. As a Marine you know a when a company was founded by our brothers when they make a device that keeps it simple stupid yet so genius, you wonder why no one else did it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
