AR-15

Big Horn Armory announced this week that its AR500 chambered in 500 Auto Max is now available!  This is the world’s most powerful short-range semi-automatic rifle in the world.

Over the last 9 months of testing, the SIG MCX VIRTUS has proven to be a very reliable and useful weapon. In its 5.56 configurations, we saw it run in all weather conditions over the winter, a 2000 rounds suppressed test and many other shenanigans. The most impressive part to me was that we had a multi-configurable rifle, that consistently shot ½ MOA groups. This week, we finally got the long awaited 300 AAC barrel.

The California DOJ has charged Jeffery Scott Kirschenmann with 12 felonies after he uploaded a picture of an “illegally modified” rifle in an attempt to comply with the state’s new registration requirements.

Boutique builder 2A Armament just launched two new complete AR-pattern rifles, both chambered for .22 Long Rifle. They’re slick and ultra-light at less than 4 pounds.

NSWC-Crane’s real eye-opening finding was that the mid-length gas system showed a far better service life than the carbine-length system.

When the NEMO Executive Order ( XO) came in for review, I was wholly unprepared for what was about to happen. The test model was in 6.5 Creedmoor, which is a plus. Not unique, but not all that common in AR platforms yet either. Still, I wasn’t exactly looking forward to testing

Earlier this year we reviewed the German Sport Gun MP40 imported by American Tactical (ATI). It’s fun to shoot and a great tribute to WWII, but, as we said in the review, it would be really fun with an authentic-looking collapsible stock.

New from the 2018 NRAAM, Rock River Arms has announced the LAR-22, a .22 LR AR-15. This is excellent news for everyone who owns an AR as .22 LR ammo is now readily available and is a great low-cost training aid. RRA is planning on offering the LAR-22 both as a complete firearm or as a complete upper.

Springfield Armory this week rolled out the SAINT AR-15 Pistol in .300 ACC Blackout!
