Mr. Dick Swan, President of A.R.M.S., Inc. is honored with
“The Chinn Award
The George M. Chinn Award is presented annually to honor a government or industry individual who, in the opinion of the Small Arms Division Executive Board, has made significant contributions to the field of small arms and/or infantry weapons systems. A significant contribution is considered to be a creative invention, new design or innovative concept in small arms weapons, ammunition or ancillary equipment that provides an advancement in the state-of-the-art or capability enhancement that clearly benefits the warfighting or general military capability of the United States. The Chinn Award may also be conferred as recognition to an individual who has performed sustained superior service in a career field of science, engineering, test & evaluation, manufacturing, program management, academic study & research, publishing or maintenance relating to military small arms or infantry weapons.
The Chinn Award is named in honor of Lt Col George M. Chinn, a career Marine Corps officer who dedicated his life to the study, development and refinement of machine gun mechanisms. Lt Col Chinn is remembered for his work as a gun designer and for having compiled a five volume reference work entitled, “The Machine Gun”.”

Presentation Abstract
A brief history of where and how we were mounting early aiming devices. How new mounting systems and devices evolved. How developers for fire control are governed by weapon surfaces, ergonomics, and tactics. Modularity was not always understood or practiced. Lasers were not always around, understood nor wanted. Dovetail rails were a hard sell at one time. Why weapons designers need to work with optic/laser/NV and mount makers, before, during, and after development. Why all branches of the services, must have their specific needs in fire control be addressed in common interfacing. Human engineering factors. Should we rely on electronics’ alone for hand held point of aim weapons? What needs to be considered for providing reliable power to future weapons is a battery the only way? Built in devices vs. field interchangeable systems. Importance of helping weapons run cooler thus longer, and keeping barrels free of direct attachment of rails and mounted devices. Helping electro optic devices run longer without failures due to weapon heat and vibrations.
Speech and presentation Now Available on DVD with Printed Presentation. (See "Other" section to order) NDIA was formerly called the ADPA (American Defense Preparedness Association), founded in 1912. OVERVIEW
The Joint Services Small Arms Systems Annual Symposium, Exhibition and Firing Demonstration, “Meeting the Needs of Our Joint Ground Forces in the Fight Against Terrorism and Developing the Tools for Future Combat,” will be held at the Albuquerque Convention Center, Albuquerque, NM. This symposium is a premier event where the Small Arms Communities come together for technical paper presentations, informational speakers, and exhibits of the hardware used by current and future defense organizations.
OBJECTIVE
Achieving a secure environment for the American people requires a strong resolve in the diplomatic arena and a stronger fortitude to back it up. Facing terrorist forces from MOUT to the open battlefield, American forces, both military and law enforcement alike require the best equipment available. Only through the efforts of Government and Industry focusing together on the immediate needs of current operations and “lessons learned,” and applying the emerging advanced technology and system integration approaches, will the tools necessary to support our warriors now and in the future be realized. This symposium seeks to bring together government and industry, manufacturers and users to support this objective for the military and law enforcement communities. (Courtesy NDIA)

THE MOST ADVANCED HANDGUARD IN THE WORLD! The A.R.M.S.® #50M-CV S.I.R.® System The entire length is 7 3/16" long and 2 1/2" wide. Grenade Launcher Brackets make it possible to attach the M203 to our system. A unique feature of our system is that it attaches directly to the barrel nut and the barrel nut does not have to be removed or replaced. Our Handguard is complete with a Q.D. indirect air flow heat shield, eliminating the need for panels. •Entire S.I.R.® front end can be installed in less than 5 min. directly to the std. barrel nut without Delta ring. Totally Free Floating.
• Front sight, gas tube, and front handguard retaining cap do not need to be removed.
• Barrel does not have to be removed.
• Standard barrel nut does not need to be removed or replaced.
• Perfect alignment with the receiver can be accomplished via built in alignment anti-rotation locking tabs.
• No special tools required, S.I.R.® std. sling swivel is useable for installation.
• The system only weighs 8.6 oz. The weight will increase depending on what selective rails are chosen to be utilized plus the weight of the sling swivel.
• Handguard complete with Q.D. indirect air flow heat shield.
• The S.I.R.®’s selective rails at the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions can be exchanged, repaired or replaced without removing the top main top rail.
• Super cool offset heat venting.
• The optional S.I.R.® rail also provides a modular means to cost effectively upgrade into future integral electronics, and provide a solid platform, can eliminate the need to use high less stable mounting devices, plus protects the top of the aluminum receiver at the same time protecting the receiver; can eliminate replacement of a damaged receiver.
• The #50M-CV allows the M203 launcher to be free float attached with no modification whatsoever to the launchers receiver.
• The #50M-CV allows the A.R.M.S.® dual Q.D. 1913 M203 attachment brackets to install to the SIR upper handguard just like the polymer handguard.
• The #50M-CV launcher Q.D. attachment brackets provide a built in 1913 dovetail rail along the length of the handguard at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions, for multiple position
attachment of grenade launcher sights. Available Now
Also #58M-CV & #58M-CV MOD
