Axelson Tactical announced it was now selling an AR upper chambered for the 300 BLK cartridge with a 10.5″ barrel. The new AXE CQB upper is a nearly complete assembly minus the charging handle and bolt carrier group (though those can be added.)

Axelson Tactical, the company started to honor fallen Navy SEAL Matt “Axe” Axelson has been operating as SEALs do – quietly and effectively. Following Axe’s tradition, Axelson has been quickly moving into various markets in short order, production products beloved by their customers. Keeping it quiet, Axelson has released their Suppressors to the market.

Since they launched their gun line last year Axelson Tactical has worked hard expanding it. And while there’s word that expansion does indeed include a brand new model – very soon – current additions are of the color and logo variety. Specifically, they’re offering more options for Cerakote finishes – in a superhero sort of way.

Axelson Tactical, a family company created in honor of fallen Navy SEAL Matt Axelson in Operation Redwing (as memorilized in Lone Survivor) is auctioning off a tribute rifle in honor of fellow fallen SEAL, Danny Dietz. Only 100 of the rifles will be created by Axelson, serial numbers Dietz01 – Dietz99.

Today knowledge of Operation Red Wings is fairly widespread as a result of the movie Lone Survivor, which followed on the heels of the book by the same name. Of course, many movie-goers did not and still do not realize they were watching a tragic story play out that was not manufactured by Hollywood but actually took place in the shale-strewn mountains of the Hindu Kush. It’s been a decade since those four Navy SEALs were inserted into Afghanistan’s Kunar Province, a decade since Lieutenant Michael Murphy, Petty Officer Second Class Danny Dietz, and Petty Officer Second Class Matt Axelson lost their lives in a ferocious fight to the death against known terrorists. A decade since the one survivor, Hospital Corpsman Second Class Marcus Luttrell, fell down a mountain, crawled to a stream, and was quite literally saved by a Pashtun by the name of Gulab. Ten years later, families continue to mourn the loss of their husbands, brothers, and sons. But in the case of the family of SEAL Matt Axelson, they’ve found a way to help his memory live on by founding Axelson Tactical.
