2023
FoldAR continues its expansion into the Law Enforcement and International markets. Be on the lookout this year for full reviews from well-qualified influencers.
FoldAR releases its “MoBetta” generational improvement, which includes the quick-change barrel system and modular handguard. Now offering Cerakote.
FoldAR is propelled into the spotlight following the Uvalde, Tx school shooting, with the recognition that School Resource Officers need a concealed secondary weapon system capable of mid/long range engagements.
FoldAR continues improving its platform with Bootleg Inc’s 4-way adjustable gas bolt carrier group and our forged locking lever.
FoldAR upgraded its product line to include adjustable gas blocks and a paracord pull-lanyard to the locking lever for easier lever/hook disengagement.
The FoldAR brand was created and launched on forged receiver sets and forearms, providing the ground work for long-term standardization of the folding-barrel AR platform.
The Folding-Barrel AR15 is licensed to F&D Defense and released. All components of the XAR Invicta were designed and manufactured by Corby Hall [owner of East Texas Machining] and assembled and sold by F&D. The license terminated in 2018, and the FoldAR brand was born.
Corby Hall [founder of F&D Defense] invented and brought to market the “Bolt-On” barrel system, making barrel-nut attachment methods obsolete. Hall’s removal of the barrel nut in 2009 paved the way for a hinged barrel system to be invented in 2016.
Daniel Defense later copied and erroneously patented the bolt-on barrel system now used on its DD5 product line.
