Recently, Arsenal teased to a new rifle that the company would introduce in the coming days. That day is now here.
Arsenal’s “game changer” is a new SAM7SF rifle with a right-side folding stock. Most folding stock rifles swing to the left side when folded. This one takes a walk on the wild side and swings right.
Cross Machine Tool (CMT) is promoting their newest billet AR-15 lower receiver – the Gen 2 UHP 15. CMT prides itself in using only the highest quality materials, using the latest in CNC technology. The AR receivers are manufactured on a 5 Axis Machining center that machines the receivers in a single set up.
CMT desires to make products that users can be excited to use an any environment they find themselves in. The Gen 2 UHP 15 billet lower receiver has several standard features that have become must-haves for serious AR-15 shooters. This includes a flared mag-well that has a textured front for better handling, and an enlarged trigger guard to assist shooters using gloves.
A bit of an enigma for the past several SHOT Shows, the Taurus CTG29 carbine is now shipping according to the company’s website. The carbine is based on the the SMT 9 and SMT 40 submachine guns the company produces in Brazil.
In the most recent earnings call, Smith & Wesson indicated the new M&P10 rifles are selling very well. As is typical for the company, S&W did not release any numbers for units sold or for how many are on backorder. However, it seemed plain that the rifles are doing very well in the company’s line-up.
After posting an announcement that they would no longer manufacture lowers with their name on them, Detroit Gun Works is apparently selling matched uppers and lowers with the DGW logo through Kroll International. This is an unexpected event due to the company’s stated position from just a few months ago.
In early December 2012, Kroll International released a pre-SHOT Show ad that suggested they had teamed up with Detroit Gun Works and Blackhawk possibly for new AR-15 rifles made by DGW and fitted with Blackhawk gear. But, by the end of the same month, DGW pulled back from the announcement and posted on their website that they would not be producing lowers with the company name on them any more. The previously announced .308 and .300 Blackout uppers and rifles were also shelved.
