B&T AG is getting ready to start production of the new APC 300. The APC, or Advanced Police Carbine, will be chambered in .300 Whisper, and is designed from the ground up for the cartridge. The gun is full-auto capable and is intended for use with a sound suppressor. The APC 300 fires from a closed bolt.
B&T states the gun is adaptable to right- and left-handed shooters, and comes with an ambidextrous charging handle, magazine release, bolt release and selector switch.
SIG Sauer is now showing two new M400 rifles on their website: the Predator and the Muddy Girl. The guns address two distinctly different markets for the AR-15 rifle market.
The new SIG M400 Predator rifle is designed for long range precision: for either hunting or competition. Chambered for the 5.56 NATO, the rifle uses a 18″ barrel made of 416 stainless steel. The barrel has a 1:8″ twist rate.
ArmaLite is set to announce a new bolt action rifle similar to the company’s AR-30A1. The ArmaLite AR-31 is a short action rifle that will be initially offered in .308 Winchester. Depending on popularity, other calibers are a possibility.
A nice feature of the AR-31 is designed to accept AR-10B magazines, meaning that a wide variety of existing mags, from five to 25 rounds, are immediately ready to go with this rifle. I do not believe the Magpul Pmags will fit the AR-10B, but if someone could confirm or correct this information in the comments, I would appreciate it.
Two short months before the 2014 SHOT Show, Ruger announced the release of the SR-762 rifle.
The new rifle was chambered for the 7.62×51 and .308 Win cartridges, and it used the same type of piston system the company perfected in the SR-556 rifle.
While initial reaction seemed both positive and strong, the gun ultimately fell out of the company’s catalog. While I have no official statement from Ruger, I believe I know why.
If you are looking for a unique, lightweight AR-15 style rifle, take a look at the Christensen Arms CA-15 carbines. No doubt, the firearms are pricey, but they offer some features that are simply not available on other rifles. If you are looking for a high end, semi-auto carbine that can run a variety of calibers from .204 Ruger to .300 AAC Blackout, you want to learn more about the Christensen Arms CA-15.
