GunsAmerica Product Reviews – Rifles

This week, on adventures in amateur gunsmithing, we acquired a basic M4 Carbine-style AR kit for a DIY AR build project. The kit comes with a complete upper receiver and a lower parts kit. All you need to supply is a lower receiver.So, come with us on this DIY journey on home building our own AR!

To maintain and ensure their neutrality, Sweden in the 19th and 20th centuries developed a well-trained military force based on conscription in which all young men would be trained, and subject to call-up in emergencies. It also developed some amazing military rifles. It paid off. All sides in both World Wars avoided antagonizing the Swedes.

While Hollywood gave screen stars Winchester rifles, many real-life heroes carried Marlin rifles. According to the company’s website, Annie Oakley, Captain Hardy, and William “Buffalo Bill” Cody all used Marlin rifles. And, today’s 1895GBL carries on the tradition of providing great lever-actions to consumers.

This project took awhile to put together, but it was worth it. Overall weight is minimal; almost light for a precision rifle. If you are looking for a truly precision rifle, then give the Surgeon Scalpel a solid look. If you want to lighten it up, then a Proof Research barrel should be your first upgrade.

Want to get a rebate to save some money on a great rimfire rifle? Then take a look at this full review of the impressive Savage A17 autoloading rifle in .17 HMR, a handy little shooter that packs a lot of performance in at a great (and now even better) price.

Arsenal, Inc. will no longer manufacture two models of California-compliant rifles due to recent changes to the state’s firearms laws.

When it comes down to it, the AR is a highly established and popular design. But, that does not mean there is no room for improvement. And if you can do that and still make it affordable, then all the better. The new an improved M-Lok MMR might just fit that bill.

One of the most popular replacement AR triggers on the market comes from the good folks at Geissele. They have been building some of the best triggers available since 2004 and show no signs of letting up, and one of their more popular (and affordable, priced at $165) triggers is the G2S.
