Magnum Research MLR22AT Rifle
Ahead of the 2012 SHOT Show, Magnum Research announced a new .22 LR rifle called the MLR22AT. Â This rifle is part of the Magnum Lite series of rimfire rifles offered from Magnum Research.
The MLR22AT uses a graphite bull barrel which is supposed to be six times stiffer than steel, up to a pound lighter than steel and dissipates heat up to 43% faster than steel. Â This rifle has a 17″ barrel and synthetic stock, making a total weight of 4.25 pounds.
The MLR22AT uses the Ruger 10/22 trigger group and magazines. Â I admit to not knowing much about the Magnum Lite line of rifles, so I do not know what kind of arrangement Magnum Research (owned by Kahr) has with Ruger for the parts production. Â But, it certainly speaks to the quality of the 10/22 rifle.

ATF Facts and Trends
There were some interesting tidbits of information in “Firearms Commerce in the United States 2011” published recently by the ATF.
Manufacturing – There are 5400 licensed firearms manufacturers in the United States. Â Going through my web browser’s bookmarks, I clearly have only a small fraction of that number on my radar.
It stands to reason that if the USA is built on small business, so is the firearms industry. Â While not everyone is a Remington, Ruger or Smith & Wesson, a manufacturer doesn’t need to be massive to be profitable. Â There are a lot of small manufacturers that are building custom rifles, race guns and other niche firearms. Â Thousands of them, actually.

CMMG .300 BLK Rifles
I may be the last person to have heard, but CMMG is making AR-style rifles chambered for the .300 BLK cartridge. Â (As it turns out, I was not. Â I got an e-mail from a guy who had been stranded in the arctic for the past six months who had not heard about these rifles either.)
Essentially, there are four variants of the M300 Blackout rifle.  All four of the carbines have 16″ barrels with 1:8 twist and a six position M-4 style buttstock.  Two of the models have a flat top receiver, no sights and a mid-length quad-rail.
The other two CMMG M300 versions have the flat top receiver, A2 front sight, Magpul rear BUIS and the standard carbine length handguard (no rails).
