Strike Industries Releases New RMR to ACRO Adapter Plate
As tastes, technology, and applications change, the optics market continues to change. The Trijicon RMR has been around since 2009. Believe it or not, that’s almost 15 years ago.

Meet the New Model 2020 Rimfire Rifles from Springfield Armory
Springfield Armory is excited to announce its latest addition to the rimfire shooting community – the new Model 2020 Rimfire series of rifles. The Springfield Model 2020 Rimfire is a new bolt-action platform featuring either a classic walnut wood stock that comes in various grades, or the choice of several variants of “target” oriented versions that feature bull barrels, and synthetic stocks. Best of all, however, is that these rifles start at around $430, and are apparently guaranteed to hold 1″ of accuracy at 50 yards with factory match ammunition when shot by a “skilled shooter.” 2-MOA isn’t bad for a rimfire rifle but we’ll have to test that out when we get one of these to the range – for now, let’s check out what Springfield has to say about their new rifles in the press release below.

POF-USA Introduces the Dragoon Series Non-NFA 13.75″ AR15
New from POF-USA is their “Dragoon Series” Renegade+ rifle. The key feature of the Dragoon series is a 13.75″ barrel with a pinned and welded Dead Air KeyMo brake to make it a stampless gun. 13.75″ will be ideal for home defense. The barrel length affords enough velocity to the 5.56 round while trimming off a few inches. This makes the rifle more compact and better balanced and affords the use of a Sierra 5 or other KeyMo-compatible silencer/adapters. The Dragoon Series is available at POF-USA “Black Label” dealers. POF USA does not have an MSRP listed yet on their website for this SKU, but prices currently range around $2000 MSRP for other Renegade+ rifles.
Composite-Cased 5.56 Ammunition From True Velocity

Now, the composite company’s three 5.56x45mm variations are available to civilians.
