Diamondback DB15

I’ve got more information (and photos) of the new Diamondback DB15 rifles I first mentioned last month. After seeing them in the databases of a major gun dealer, I knew they were real, but I just didn’t have photos to share. That’s all changed now that Diamondback posted their pretty new AR’s online.

A variety of models are, or will be, available. Variations include different colors, handguards, sights and stocks. As can be seen in these photos, they will offer everything from a plain-Jane black M4-style rifle to a Magpul-equipped gun to a flat dark earth colored gun with a free float handguard.

MasterPiece Arms 5.7×28 SBR

MasterPiece Arms is now making a short barrel rifle (SBR) version of their 5.7×28 gun. The new SBR has a threaded 8″ barrel for the included muzzle brake, or for the MPA Suppressor (which is shown in these photos but does not come with the gun). Yes, all NFA rules do apply.

The MPA57SST-SBR (aka MasterPiece Arms 5.7×28 SBR) comes outfitted with an MPA short aluminum quadrail and a Strike Industries foregrip. Based on the photos, the foregrip appears to be the “Cobra Tactical” that normally retails for $25.

Saiga-9 Carbine

Russian arms manufacturer JSC Izhmash is gearing up to produce the Saiga-9 carbine, a civilian version of the Vityaz-SN submachine gun.  The new Saiga-9 will be chambered in 9mm (aka 9×19).

The new carbine was introduced at the 2012 Russian Hunting and Sporting Goods show in September. Currently, I don’t have much information on the Saiga-9, other than it is the “civil equivalent” of the SMG.

Below is a video of the Vityaz-SN in action. Expect that the Saiga-9 will look similar (with a longer barrel no doubt), but will lack the automatic fire.

Hellbreaker AR Lowers

Looking for a custom AR lower? Check out the Hellbreaker.

The Hellbreaker is a prototype AR lower that will be CNC’d from 7075-T6 aluminum and hard coat anodized and has an unmistakable resemblance to the nose art of the Curtis P-40 Warhawks flown by the Flying Tigers during World War II.
