Description

Finally there is a solution to dry-fire training with long guns: introducing the SIRT STIC from Next Level Training. In an environment where you can’t do live-fire training and you want to practice your defensive long-gun skills based on an AR-platform rifle, the SIRT STIC is the answer. It is a training stock.

HOW THE SIRT STIC WORKS

Next Level Training has been trying to solve this dry-fire training with long guns problem for a long time. They’ve been trying to find a way to utilize the same technology used in the SIRT Training Pistol in an AR platform so that shooters can do their rifle training and practice even when they can’t get to a live-fire range.

The Next Level Training SIRT STIC works by putting your SIRT Pistol into the SIRT STIC. Now you have laser-supported training in an AR platform. It has an adjustable stock and a magazine well that accepts actual AR magazines. It has rail sections and will accept any type of red-dot sight or other optic that you have on your AR-type rifle.

The SIRT STIC has a functional safety that works just like an AR safety lever. When you’re going from the ready position and you bring the gun up to the shooting position, you take the safety off the SIRT STIC just like you do with your actual rifle.

ACCESSORIES AND SETUP

You can put a comb on the SIRT STIC to reflect the shape of the comb on your rifle. You can also add a sling. Any accessory you have on your AR will fit on the SIRT STIC.

Next Level Training has solved the dry-fire training problem for long-gun self-defense weapons by using the SIRT pistol. That’s the expensive part, then you add the SIRT STIC and you’re ready to go with your accessories added to it.

Another option is to buy two sets of accessories and then you’ll have a dry-fire environment training rifle setup to support your use of the live-fire rifle you’re actually going to use for home and family defense.

This is the NextLevel Training SIRT STIK, S-T-I-K. And it's called a training stock. Now this is something that honestly I think is just incredibly elegant in terms of a solution for dry training, laser supported training, inside of an environment where you can't do live fire, and you want to train your defensive long-gun skills, or realistically any long-gun skills that are based on an AR platform type rifle. Now what's really cool about this is, NextLevel Training's been trying to solve this problem for a long time. We've been trying to find a way to help people utilize the same kind of technology that's utilized with the SIRT training pistol in an AR platform. And now they've done it, not only conceptually, but literally. The way this works is you put your SIRT pistol into the SIRT STIK, and move that out of the way, put that in there, close that up, cinch that up. And now you've got the laser capability laser-supported training in an AR-type platform. You know what's really cool about this is it's got an adjustable stock, it's got a magazine well that will actually accept an AR-type magazine so you can have that in there for that part of the training. Obviously it's got rail sections. I've got an MRO set up on here. Whatever red dot you use, magnified optic, low power variable optic, laser, white light, fore grip, whatever you have on your AR-type firearm, you can put on the SIRT STIK, which is really cool. There's also a functional safety here, which is neat, right? So the safety lever works just like the AR safe lever. And what you see here is that there's just this, you know, block that's behind the trigger that keeps you from being able to fire the gun so you can't set off the firing laser here, but when that safety lever is pushed down, it moves the block out of the way and now the trigger can be moved fully to the rear and fired. And that operates exactly the same way as the actual safety on your AR. So that when you're going from the ready position and you bring the gun up to your shooting position, you can take the safety off. Again, you can put whatever kind of comb you want here to reflect the shape of the comb of your stock, pad. It has opportunity to put on a sling, any accessory virtually that you're using on your AR should fit on your SIRT STIK, and I think that's really super cool. So congratulations to NextLevel Training for finding a way to solve the AR problem using the SIRT pistol. Obviously, that's the expensive part. You add the SIRT STIK and you are ready to go with your accessories taken off your AR, or obviously you could buy two sets and have a dry-fire environment training rifle set up to support your use of the live-fire training or the live-fire rifle that you're actually gonna use for home or personal defense in another situation.
