Mossberg will introduce a new line of bolt-action rifles at the 2015 SHOT Show called the Patriot. The new Mossberg Patriot rifle line is possibly the most complete line of guns ever introduced at one time: more than 50 models are in the initial release.

And…there is a reason for the vast number of rifle options at the introduction. Mossberg will progressively eliminate both the ATR and 4×4 lines as the Patriot rifles are introduced.

The line-up includes guns with wood and synthetic stocks, short- and long-actions, youth editions and scoped packages.

Let’s take a look at what is being introduced…

ArmaLite is introducing an all new M-15 line of rifles and pistols for 2015 according to the representatives I met at the recent NASGW Show. The new guns cover everything from tactical to competition with plenty of fun stuff in between.

While the guns are in the AR-style, these are a significant departure from the company’s traditional line up. Frankly, it looks like a major pivot on the part of ArmaLite. Let’s go over seven of the new guns right now…

I just received an announcement from Concern Kalashnikov about a number of upgrades to the IZ132 rifle being sold in the United States.

The standard IZ132 rifle is based on the AK-47 pattern rifle and is chambered for the 7.62×39 cartridge. It is a semi-automatic rifle fed by detachable magazines. The new upgrade will use an improved polymer stock that has an integrated pistol grip. The polymer handguard is also updated. Standard AK-pattern 30-round magazines will work in the gun.

Lancer L30 Rifle

Lancer Advanced Weapons and Components introduced their L30 Series Rifle at the SHOT Show Media Day at the Range. The L30 is designed to be a larger caliber, precision semi-auto rifle. The L30 will accept the new L7 Advanced Warfighter Magazines, but will accept other SR25/DPMS style magazines as well.

The foundation of the Lancer L30 is the patented lower receiver design that incorporates an oversized magazine release button, ambidextrous bolt release lever, and a removable magwell extension. It is the later that really displays the ingenuity of the Lancer engineers, and is a patented advancement to the AR design. The magwell extensions are precision machined from billet aluminum, with features that will match the lower receiver. The extensions are made to tolerances that eliminate the potential for rattling when the rifle is fired.

Rock River Arms X-1 Rifle

Rock River Arms (RRA) introduced their new X-1 Series rifles at SHOT Show. Rock River Arms has continued to expand on a successful line of AR platform rifles, after winning a Federal contract to supply rifles to the DEA and several other Federal law enforcement agencies. Since that time Rock River has become a popular choice with hundreds of other law enforcement agencies, as well as civilian shooters.

Part of that success can be attributed to standard features on their rifles, such as the Rock River Arms 2-stage trigger, and other advanced features. The X-1 Series rifles will follow on that trend and add a few features as well.
