Countrywide Sports, a North Carolina-based firearms and ammunition distributor, has signed with Hydra Weaponry to carry the only modular AR-15 and AR-10 platforms on the market today.
Hermon, Maine (April 2025) – Hydra Weaponry, Maine’s largest firearms employer, designers, and manufacturers of the truly modular MARCK-15 Hydra® Weapon System, , is proud to announce a partnership with North Carolina-based distributor Countrywide Sports (CWS Guns). CWS Guns will offer the multi-caliber rifle systems: the Hydra MARCK-15, the Hydra-10 AR-10 system, and the newly released BMP-23, the updated and upgraded model based on the original Bushmaster Arm Pistol designed by industry icon and innovator Mack Gwinn Jr.
Hydra Weaponry manufactures pistols and rifles, complete uppers and lowers, barrel assemblies, interchangeable magazine wells, conversion kits, accessories, and more. The Hydra MARCK-15 rifle platform system allows the user the ease of caliber changes via the exchange of just a barrel, or magwell, or bolt, barrel, and magwell. In addition to offering the AR15 platform, Hydra also offers the Hydra 10, an AR10-style rifle in .308 and 6.5 Creedmoor.
The recently released BMP23 pistol is a piston-driven personal defense pistol concept originally designed by Mack Gwinn Jr., founder of Gwinn Firearms, Ordnance Technology, and MGI. The BMP-23 is Mack Gwinn Jr’s vision made modern through new materials and CNC machining of the original Bushmaster pistol. The new BMP23 in 5.56 removes any of the former issues the original demonstrated, resulting in a retro-modeled, future-driven performance pistol.
Countywide Sports is a leading national distributor. The CWS Guns division focuses on providing dealers with a large variety of top-selling firearms through responsive and professional customer service.
“CWS Guns is thrilled to work with this innovative firearms manufacturer,” Chris Means, President of Countrywide Sports, explained. “We want to show our dealers just how impressive this rifle system is and how its modular capabilities will increase opportunities to upsell conversion kits, barrels, and more. With the uncertainty of our current economy, it just makes sense to purchase a rifle platform that saves you money with the addition of each conversion, instead of purchasing multiple guns.”
