By Richard on January 10, 2012 1 Comments

MPA 5.7x28

Masterpiece Arms announced a new pistol and carbine chambered for the 5.7×28 cartridge.  The MPA57SST will come in threeversions: a pistol, a carbine and a CA-approved carbine.

The pistol will use a 5″ barrel, while both carbine versions will use a 16.25″ barrel.  The California carbine will have a sub-capacity 10-round magazine, while the other models will use the standard capacity 20-round mags.  A 30-round magazine will be an option.

Barrels on the new Masterpiece Arms guns will be threaded for suppressors, which MPA is now making as well.

MPA expects to ship these guns to dealers in February 2012.  MSRP will be $599.  We will try to get more information and photos of the new guns from the 2012 SHOT Show.

TSD Combat Systems AK

By Richard on January 5, 2012 1 Comments

TSD AK-47TSD Combat Systems, one of the companies affiliated with Gabe Suarez, is now shipping the CQB Kalashnikov.  This is a thoroughly modern AK system designed for fighting.

The rifles can be had in either 7.62×39 or 5.45×39.  One magazine ships with the rifle: a US Palm AK30 or Bulgarian 45 rounder depending on your caliber choice.

The 14″ barrel has a permanently attached AAC BLACKOUT flash hider, bringing the total length to 16″.  So no one need worry about the ATF tax for a SBR (short barrel rifle).

Magnum Research MLR22AT Rifle

By Richard on January 3, 2012 No Comments

Magnum Research RifleAhead of the 2012 SHOT Show, Magnum Research announced a new .22 LR rifle called the MLR22AT.  This rifle is part of the Magnum Lite series of rimfire rifles offered from Magnum Research.

The MLR22AT uses a graphite bull barrel which is supposed to be six times stiffer than steel, up to a pound lighter than steel and dissipates heat up to 43% faster than steel.  This rifle has a 17″ barrel and synthetic stock, making a total weight of 4.25 pounds.

The MLR22AT uses the Ruger 10/22 trigger group and magazines.  I admit to not knowing much about the Magnum Lite line of rifles, so I do not know what kind of arrangement Magnum Research (owned by Kahr) has with Ruger for the parts production.  But, it certainly speaks to the quality of the 10/22 rifle.

CMMG .300 BLK Rifles

By Richard on December 24, 2011 1 Comments

CMMG AR15 300BLKI may be the last person to have heard, but CMMG is making AR-style rifles chambered for the .300 BLK cartridge.

Essentially, there are four variants of the M300 Blackout rifle.  All four of the carbines have 16″ barrels with 1:8 twist and a six position M-4 style buttstock.  Two of the models have a flat top receiver, no sights and a mid-length quad-rail.

The other two CMMG M300 versions have the flat top receiver, A2 front sight, Magpul rear BUIS and the standard carbine length handguard (no rails).

Ruger Gunsite Polymer Magazines

By Richard on December 22, 2011 No Comments

Ruger Polymer magazineRuger is now making polymer magazines for the Gunsite scout rifle.  One of the complaints about the metal magazines was the price:  $70 for the 10 round mag.  I like the Gunsite scout rifle, but at $70/mag it is a non-starter for me.

Fortunately, Ruger wasn’t blind to the issue.  To resolve the cost problem, Ruger is now manufacturing polymer magazines of three, five and ten round capacities.  While not cheap, the polymer mags are much more reasonable at $39.95 each.

Knights Armament

Knight’s Armament is teasing to new products they will introduce at the 2012 SHOT Show.  Clearly all are AR-style guns, with three not being in the 5.56/.223 cartridge envelope.  As always, it will be interesting to see what they are showing.

SIG 516 Chambered for 300 BLACKOUT

By Richard on November 18, 2011 No Comments

SIG 516 Chambered for 300 BLACKOUTSteve at TheFirearmBlog is reporting that SIG SAUER will introduce a version of the 516 rifle chambered for the .300 BLACKOUT cartridge.

A SIG516 chambered for the 300 BLK would be just one of the recent products announced for the cartridge.  Recently, Smith & Wesson announced an M&P15 chambered for the 300 Whisper and 300 BLACKOUT.  Additionally, new ammo and bullets from companies like Barnes and Sierra have been rolled out or announced ahead of the new year.

I suspect that we will see a lot of new products centered around the 300 BLK at the 2012 SHOT Show.

AR-15 Build Video Series

By Richard on November 11, 2011 1 Comments

The folks at ITS Tactical have put together an excellent series of videos on how to build your own AR-15.  They start with a stripped receiver and walk you through all of the steps necessary to assemble your own AR.

If you have not been by the ITS Tactical site, you really should check them out.  Block off some time, though, as you will likely be there for a while.
