We had some fun going head-to-head @capitolrangenc with the Grizzley 101. Live fire digital targets made gamification easy and a lot of fun! Have you heard the Grizzly was named by @fieldandstream as one of the top handguns at Shot Show this year?

[Bear Creek Arsenal @BearCreekAR]

Field & Stream just named the Grizzly 102 one of the Hottest New Handguns of 2026 SHOT Show!

Same foundation. Higher standard. Because standing still isn't our style.

Old-school profile. New-school engineering. Classic lines with modern side-charging and bolt-action design.

Should we do an A1/A2 receiver?

@jamalkusdonkis @RenoMayGuns We have been making big changes to QC recently. Which one of our ARs were unreliable for you?

🧵Should You Get One?

To some most importantly, a fluted gun barrel simply looks cool. Whatever the flute pattern, it’s hard to deny the aesthetic appeal of fluted barrels. And practical benefits aside, that in itself might be a good enough reason to buy one.

Our straight fluted barrels or spiral fluted barrels are great options with our stainless barrels. For those looking to add some style to their firearm our distinctive Bear Claw rifle barrels is a popular option

Whether you're looking to reduce your AR's weight, better deal with heat, improve accuracy, or just stand out at the range, fluted barrels might be a great fit for you.

🧵Fluted Barrels: Benefits, Uses, and More

Fluted barrels are firearm barrels that have had a portion of the outside of the barrel milled away in a consistent pattern.

There are many types of fluted barrels available for AR-15s and other rifles including spiral barrel flutes, straight flutes, bear claw, and more! Not only do these types of barrels look amazing, but they also offer several benefits to the shooter.

[Bear Creek Arsenal @BearCreekAR]

🧵Heat Dissipation:

While most barrel flutes aren’t sufficient to act as “fins” like you’d find on a heatsink, the reduction in barrel mass speeds up the dissipation of heat. Less material to cool and increased surface area means faster heat dissipation for your firearm.

This will not only improve your per-shot accuracy but can also increase the lifespan of a barrel considerably. The downside is that less mass increases heat accumulation, so it can be a trade-off, but most shooters find the increase in heat dissipation worth the price.

A popular option to obtain both the benefits of a thicker barrel profile and more surface area from fluting is fluted heavy barrels; the heavy barrel profile has more mass than an M4 contour and the flutes help lower the weight from the extra steel.
