STS Arms utilizes a specific blend of NIC Industries Cerakote ceramic coating system consists of several layers of unique ceramics cured and layered to optimize the performance of your weapon in the harshest of conditions.
Our State of the art coating technology out performs any competitive coating in both laboratory settings and real world applications.
Our unique formulation of ceramics work together to enhance a number of physical performance properties, each of these properties is rigorously tested to guarantee that your weapon does not and will not fail when your life and the lives of other depend on it most.
Below is what you can expect statistically when you coat one of your duty weapons with our proprietary ceramic coating system.
• Testing performed by an independent military approved testing facility proved that our ceramic coating is 7.5 times more wear resistant than any other firearm coating.
• Taber abrasion is an approved ASTM method which is used to determine the wear resistance of coatings by rotating an abrasive disk on the surface of a coated substrate.
• Corrosive salt spray testing revealed that our coating system can protect steel and other metals better than competitive firearm coatings. Salt spray testing is performed using a steel substrate to simulate real world application instead of using aluminum or Parkerizing.
• The corrosion resistance of each coating was tested by placing a coated steel panel in an atmosphere with a 5% salt spray at 90 degress F. This test corresponds to ASTM standard B117. (Keep coming back to see our real world test performed by real world operators.)
• Our coatings can undergo a 32% elongation without distortion or coating loss.
• Our coated weapons can withstand 160lbs per sq in impact with no coating loss.
Shortly we will have several performance videos that show real world tests utilizing our coated firearms in the following environments:
• SAND
• MUD
• ICE & SNOW
• FOUL WEATHER
• COASTAL OPERATIONS
• SURF & SEA TESTS
• UNDER EXTREME HEAT
• UNDER EXTREME COLD
• UNDER PUNISHING RATES OF FIRE
• WITHOUT BEING CLEANED
Aside from our firearms coating we also ensure that the world’s best parts configuration is also one of the paramount features of our weapon system. We have partnered with some of the finest components companies in existence to create an easy to use, lightweight platform that works together to ensure that your rifle system is lightweight, easy to control and put back on target as well as being easy to maintain and operate.
Each of our rifles has:
• Enidine Hydraulic Buffer System
• Primary Weapon Systems Compensator
• All Milspec Parts
• Magpul Dynamics Furniture
• Magpul Pmags
• Match Quality Barrel System
• 7075 Hammer Forged Lower Receiver
• KNS Anti Rotational Pin Set
