This is where it all began, with our AR500 Armor Level III patented Advanced Shooters Cut (ASC) steel-core ballistic plates.
Rifle-rated protection that’s easy on your wallet

Our Level III armor is manufactured from AR500 steel and, with a 20-year maintenance-free shelf life due to our proprietary FragLock™ coating, will outlast ceramic and UHMWPE body armor.

Available in right and left-handed configurations, our patented ASC affords you additional room for your rifle stock, improving comfort and shooting ergonomics. Compatible with all standard plate carriers that accept SAPI or traditional Shooters Cut body armor with appropriate chest plate pocket size.

Our Level III armor is rated to stop 7.62x51 M80 NATO Ball (.308 Winchester) at a velocity of up to 2,780 fps, and special threat tested to stop 5.56mm M855/SS109 (Green Tip) at a velocity of 2,780 fps. Our armor has been independently tested in accordance with NIJ 0101.06 threat levels through Oregon Ballistics (OBL), and H.P. White Laboratories.
