CMMG MK47 Mutant Review: AK Mags in an AR

{ 11 comments }

The CMMG MK47 Mutant runs AK magazines in an AR style rifle. In my test, every magazine I tried worked except a ProMag, which failed and damaged its latch.

Bushmaster XM15 Review: Specs and Range Results

M&P15 Sport II vs Sport III: Hits and Misses of the New Smith & Wesson

{ 7 comments }

The Sport III fixes the two things Sport II owners replaced first. It moves from a carbine-length to a mid-length gas system, and it swaps the polymer handguard for a 15 inch free-floated aluminum M-LOK handguard.
