in a surprising direction through a new and exciting Custom Shop operation.  The APO Custom Shop (APOCS) is offering complete custom precision rifle builds, and unexpectedly, practical/tactical pistols with CNC inletted Trijicon® RMR reflex sights.

The architect of the APO Custom Shop concept is Matthew Peterson, Product Development Coordinator for Ashbury.  "Our company has more than 45 years of professional USMC MOS 2112 Precision Weapons Repairman/Technician experience in our Ordnance Department," said Peterson.  "These patriotic veterans have served our nation during Vietnam and through deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq," he continued.  "In addition to building many hundreds of precision M14 and M40 rifles for Marine Corps Scout Snipers and Palma rifles for the Rifle Teams, our gunsmiths also supported Marine Corps Pistol Team shooters over the course of several decades."

Veteran Marine Gunsmith Travis Bankston, the energizing force on APO's team of 2112's behind this effort, said, "The Custom Shop offers civilian pistol shooters the same reliable, high quality pistol builds and modifications we provided to the Marine Corps shooting teams, Force Reconnaissance and MARSOC throughout our careers, for competition or combat."

"APOCS will earn the trust and confidence of civilian shooters and law enforcement officers," continued Bankston, "by providing accurate, reliable and affordable, optically-enhanced, custom handguns.  We'll provide the same high quality custom firearms for recreational and competitive shooting, personal protection, and tactical operations we confidently provided to Marine Warfighters."

Depending on the make and model of pistol being modified shooters have the option of mounting the RMR with the rear sight behind or in-front* of the optic.  Co-witnessed iron sights offer shooters many advantages to include rapid red dot acquisition, RMR protection and emergency cocking point* and RMR back up the in the event of battery failure.

Shooters can also have other grip, frame, slide and fire control [trigger] enhancements made by APOCS team of qualified gunsmiths and machinists.  APOCS is additionally supported by an experienced team of Ashbury engineers, machinists and product developers who are all shooters and hunters.

APOCS will be introducing its line of optically enhanced pistol products at the 2015 SHOT Show in booth #31407 in the Tactical/Law Enforcement Section.  For more information on APO Custom Shop Services, tactical pistol packages, precision rifles and long range Riflesports accessories, please visit the Ashbury Precision Ordnance Mfg website, contact our customer service department or shop the APO online store, The Armory.
