Down Range Products began in early 2012 when founder Todd Ferguson got frustrated with his Hi-Point carbine's factory charging handle—specifically the roller mechanism that pinched his finger. Instead of complaining, he designed his own using his CNC machine shop. It worked. Hi-Point shooters loved it. That single part became the foundation for a full manufacturing operation.
Everything is made in-house on CNC machines. Their current catalog includes 383+ products across several core categories:
Barrel Thread Protection & Adapters - 222+ barrel thread protectors in handgun and long gun configurations - 44 barrel thread adapters (converting between standard threads like 1/2" x 28, 5/8" x 24, metric left-hand, etc.) - Thread protector blanks for custom builds
Barrel Assembly Components - Crush washers (.223/5.56 and .308/7.62 calibers, both steel and stainless) - Barrel jam nuts (hex and standard designs) - Barrel indexing shims and peel washers - Free-float barrel nut shims for AR-15s
Muzzle Devices - .223 muzzle brakes (6-prong design) - .308 muzzle brakes - Flash hiders - Barrel shrouds for Hi-Point, Ruger, and Smith & Wesson platforms
Hi-Point Carbine Upgrades - 60+ Hi-Point specific accessories - Charging handles with O-ring grooves (available in plain, black, red, and green) - Extended charging handles - Picatinny rails - Muzzle brakes and barrel shrouds
"These shims are much higher quality than what most companies from overseas," Ferguson notes. "I've had a lot of gunsmiths comment on how nice they are for indexing barrel accessories."
Most products come in two material options: - Stainless steel ($10-15 range for crush washers/jam nuts) - Carbon steel ($7.95-10.99 range) - Custom thread adapters run $14.99-$29.99 depending on configuration - Muzzle brakes typically $29.99

Shipping: Free USPS First Class Mail with tracking to all 50 states. No APOs, FPOs, or territories due to ITAR restrictions.
Returns: 14-calendar-day return window from delivery date. Items must be unused. Buyer covers return shipping, and the original shipping cost is deducted from refunds.
Incomplete Orders: Must be reported within 14 calendar days of receipt.
Double-check thread specifications before ordering. Thread protectors and adapters come in dozens of configurations—Ferguson specifically notes "please double check your thread length before ordering."
Down Range Products sold on eBay for 3+ years before launching their own e-commerce site in 2015. They maintain a customer gallery showing installed products: Hi-Point carbines with knurled charging handles, muzzle brakes with custom colors (red handles popular), and barrel shroud combinations.
The operation is small and hands-on. Ferguson personally machines parts and manages customer service. That approach shows in their communication—blog posts are signed by Todd, and the contact form goes directly to his email ([email protected]).
