For Rifles

The new gun at SHOT 2019 was the MP-5. Importers and American companies are supplying clones and new AR pistol caliber carbines now run MP-5 magazines. Quarter Circle 10 (QC10) and Strike Industries (SI) are at the front of that movement and plug the excellent MP-5 magazine into the All-American AR to make a world-class 9mm carbine.

One of the great stories of 2018 was the introduction of a new caliber by Federal, the 224 Valkyrie. Initially announced in October of 2017, by SHOT Show 2018, the world was abuzz. The 224 Valkyrie promised to turbocharge the small frame AR rifle, with ballistics that blew the doors off past challengers such as 6.5 Grendal and 22 Nosler. It helped that it was released and backed by Federal, a giant in the ammunition industry. But still, many people questioned the new caliber? Would it deliver? And would it catch on enough to remain available?

Considering the plethora of other gun-related accessories, it seems like there should be some kind of middle ground between cheap and premium when it comes to bipods. That’s why I was so excited to get my hands on Magpul’s new bipod. Introduced last summer, the Magpul Bipod fills a space that’s been empty in this product category for too long. I’ve been using mine for the last four months, and I have to say — I’m impressed.

One little-known company in Alabama is quietly making incredible stocks for the likes of Kimber and Proof Research. You’ll want to know about this little American gem.

ADG brass is great because, as I have mentioned, they produce a few cartridges that nobody else really offers. Second, ADG brass is manufactured through a stringent process which leads to brass that is more precise, uniform and holds up through more reloads. The brass is formed through the traditional drawn method.

For the 2019 SHOT Show, Timney Triggers rolled out their newest product, the Elite Hunter trigger for Remington 700 bolt-action rifles. Before SHOT, I secured a new Elite Hunter for testing and evaluation. What I discovered was a fine aftermarket trigger, one that breaks very cleanly, doesn’t hang up, and actually did help improve my accuracy.

Proof Research builds weapons for the government using space-age tech. They also design state-of-the-art products—such as barrels—for consumers.

Geissele doesn’t just do things. They do them with style. Can you get an aftermarket trigger for a Remington 700 from someone else? Yes. But why would you?
