If you asked me what was my favorite thing to come out of SHOT Show 2020 was, it would be Sig Sauer’s new Medium Machine Gun.

As far as improvements go, they have actually free-floated the barrel. Rather than handguards making contact with the barrel at numerous places, Arsenal has created a free-floating aluminum rail that is attached to the receiver in a similar fashion of how a rail attaches to a barrel nut on an AR-15.

Speaking in generalities, when you talk to people that are into AK-47s, they are oftentimes purists. Liking the original spec, true to form AKs. Well, Kalashnikov USA has got a new gun that should get you pretty excited, the KR103.

If you are a fan of the 7.62×51 (.308) but like the smaller form factor and lighter weight of the AR-15 platform over the AR-10, Patriot Ordnance Factory has an option for you. This year at SHOT Show 2020, POF introduced their Rogue .308 Rifles and Pistols.

This year at SHOT Show 2020, US Night Vision unveiled their DesignatIR laser aiming device. Designed specifically for civilian use, it is reputed to be the lowest cost, highest performing laser in the market.

If you are looking for a new magnifier for the red dot on your carbine, EOTech probably has the one for you. This year they launched three New Magnifiers.

The Owyhee Takedown Bolt Action .22 LR Rifle will be available for purchase in Q1 with an MSRP of $1,065 and a street price of around $879.

Sometimes it is about the small things. While some manufacturers released new flashy guns at SHOT Show 2020, Fix-It-Sticks came out with a small but meaningful upgrade to their already fantastic product line.

The newest version of CMMG’s 5.7 uses a standard mil-spec AR lower receiver. Rather than shrinking dimensions and using a pistol sized magazine, CMMG engineered a larger magazine roughly the same dimensions as a standard capacity 30-round AR magazine.
