Rifle

Savage released a cool little teaser video last week that gave us just a little insight into its new MSR — modern sporting rifle.

The Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. will adopt a new corporate name effective Jan. 1, 2017. The change reflects their expansion into more outdoor activities.

A Canada-based firearms accessory manufacturer is working on an adapter kits that let SKS shooters use AR-15 lower components.

The multi-caliber Scavenger 6 is a survival rifle dream gun. It’s a stocked revolver with each chamber cut for a different cartridge. By using multiple cylinders, it’s possible to have one design fire a dozen and half or more cartridges.

“We think our customers are really going to like the buttstock on this rifle. I don’t think there’s anything else quite like it,” said Phil Cashin, president of MasterPiece Arms.

Essentially, the system holds the rifle so the shooter doesn’t have to.

In cooperation with the Chongqing Jianshe Industry Group, Norinco is working on a truly modern set of rifles chambered for 5.56 and 7.62 NATO and 7.62x39mm.

For me, the Montana X-Treme Cleaning Kit from Midsouth Shooters makes cleaning my rifle a quick, painless, and hassle-free experience, and I can’t imagine going back to my bargain bin rod and brush.

Based on sales figures and some good, old-fashioned SWAG math, there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 million AR-15 rifles floating around the country, give or take a couple of million. And guess where all that AR popularity started? Armalite.
