The United Kingdom has selected the Knight’s Armament Company KS-1 as the new individual weapon for the new Ranger battalions and elements of the Royal Marines Commandos. The requirement for the new rifle was released back in August 2021.

Introduced in 1985, the New Ultralight Arms (NULA) Model 20 was an extremely lightweight bolt action rifle weighing less than five pounds in short action chamberings like the .308 Winchester. In 2022, Wilson Combat acquired the New Ultralight Arms a now, about a year later, they came up with the updated version of this legendary rifle. Let’s take a closer look at the Wilson Combat NULA Model 20 rifle.

If you always wanted to own a Geissele rifle but could never afford one, then the new El Jefe rifle must be interesting to you. This rifle is made by Geissele Automatics but it’s sold under the ALG Defense brand (Geissele’s sister company). With an MSRP of $1,199, the El Jefe rifle is $900 cheaper than the most affordable Geissele-branded rifle. The differences between the El Jefe and Geissele rifles of comparable configuration are in materials, manufacturing techniques and finishes.

During a video introducing some new products published on 31 August, Bill Geissele announced that Geissele’s submission to US SOCOM’s MRGG-S (Mid-Range Gas Gun) program had been selected. The new rifle appears to have beaten out rival designs from other down-selected companies, including FN and LMT.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM R45 Multi-Host Suppressor. Last week we hit rewind on the month of August to check out the summer of Silencer Central suppressors. This week we kick off a mini-series on the YHM Turbo K-RB – the next generation of compact 5.56mm rifle suppressors that add reduced back pressure technology. If you own the original Turbo K, should you upgrade to the Turbo K-RB? Let’s find out together.

In this cope-filled episode of TFBTV, James Reeves tells you why the H&K G36K is perhaps his favorite – and the most underrated – German rifle. The H&K G36K in this video is a 5.56x45mm NATO rifle that was first introduced in 1995. It is a more compact and lighter-weight version of the H&K G36, and it is currently in use by the armed forces of Germany, Spain, and several other countries. Despite its widespread use, the H&K G36K is often overlooked and underrated. This is due in part to its relatively short service history, cost, as well as some perceived accuracy issues. However, the G36K is a very capable weapon system that offers a number of advantages over its competitors. We talk about the G36K – and how to find one if you really – really – want it.

Welcome everyone to the 204th edition of ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, one of our many series here on TFB. If you’re new to the series, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question – Is this Gat a sweet deal or only has a Fudd appeal?  Each week the TFB staff weighs in with their thoughts, but readers get the final say in the poll at the bottom of each article.

Founded in 1976 by Italian competition shooter Giampiero Pardini,  Pardini Armi is a manufacturer of competition shooting air guns and firearms. One of the most popular products of Pardini Armi is the SP rimfire target pistol. Based on this successful design, the company has developed a new semi-automatic rimfire carbine called TR20. Particularly, the Pardini TR20 shares the blowback action and the adjustable trigger with the SP pistol. Reportedly, additive manufacturing technologies are extensively used in the production of this carbine.

Welcome back to The Rimfire Report, our weekly article series where we discuss everything rimfire – history, news, guns, ammunition, equipment, gear, sports and more. Today, we have an in-depth review of the Volquartsen Summit straight-pull .22 rifle.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM R45 Multi-Host Suppressor. Last week I ran the Silencer Central Banish 46 through with some subsonic .300BLK and .45-70 Gov’t. There are more Silencer Central reviews coming up in a few weeks, so let’s do a summer recap the of the Banish silencers we’ve seen to date. We can pumpkin spice it up in a few weeks with a couple .22LR suppressors.

James Reeves reviews the Serbian M91 Sniper Rifle. This modernized version of Zastava’s designated marksman rifle (DMR) shares some similarities with the famous SVD Dragunov but is actually a very different gun, even if it uses the same barrel length and caliber as the SVD. Is this gun still effective? How accurate is it? What type of range does this gun have with the included POSP 4x optic? Is it reliable? We answer those questions and more in today’s episode of TFBTV.

AERO Precision @ TFB: 

Thanks for joining us on TFB’s Photo Of The Day, where we’re not above showing you our mistakes, whether they will buff out or not. In today’s edition, you’re looking at a recent mishap where I was more focused on looking through my optic than I was making sure my muzzle was still far enough forward on my bag. In this particular case, I was running out of range time, making haste… and waste. The good news is that the zipper runners were both on the other side of the pouch, so I’ll be sewing up the zipper and patching the hole. This will hopefully mean that I’m only missing a couple inches of usable zipper space, this will buff out right?

Bear Creek Arsenal’s 300 Win Mag HuntMaster is built around a completely new AR platform, the BC-8. The BC-8 oversized design allows for long action chamberings like the 300 Winchester Magnum but with parts compatibility with existing AR-15 and AR-10 designs. This aims to be the ultimate hunting rifle, feeding from a five-round double-stack double-feed magazine.  I was one of the lucky few that were sent one of these rifles for review, and here’s what I found.

Welcome back to The Rimfire Report, our weekly article series where we discuss everything rimfire – history, news, guns, ammunition, equipment, gear, sports and more. Today, we have a full long-term review of Tactical Solution’s take-down bolt-action .22, the Owyhee.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM R45 Multi-Host Suppressor. Last week the Silencer Central Banish 46 got a pistol caliber workout on a few different hosts. This week the Banish 46 suppressor goes on a rifle caliber tour with full auto 300BLK, a 5.56 bolt action, and a .45-70 Henry lever gun. Let’s dive in.

Photo Of The Day, and today there’s just one image to look at. Founded in 2015, MK Machining is a company that specializes in precision machining and manufacturing. Over the years I’ve met the founder in several exhibitions, and they always make a great impression. They are known for producing high-quality shooting accessories, throw levers, scope mounts and reloading equipment for the firearms industry. The company is based in the United States (Hallsville, MO) and has gained a reputation for their innovative and reliable products.

Federal Ammunition introduced the FireStick muzzleloading ammunition system at SHOT Show 2020. In firearms utilizing this technology, the projectile is still loaded down the muzzle but the propellant is sealed in a shotshell-like polymer capsule which is loaded through the breech end of the barrel and is primed with a 209 shotgun primer. CVA have just announced the release of their new Crossfire break action muzzleloading rifle that uses the FireStick system. Let’s take a closer look at the CVA Crossfire muzzleloader and Federal FireStick ammunition.

Sven of Manticore Arms announced they were working on a new safety selector for the Springfield Hellion. The Manticore Hellion Enhanced Safety System changes the geometry of the safety selector for a more ergonomic throw more akin to an AR-15.

Unity Tactical’s FAST risers are one of the most popular ways to mount an optic high above a rail. Those risers exist for many popular optics like Aimpoints, EOTechs, and various LPVOs. Well, add the Primary Arms MicroPrism family to that list now, too.

Springfield Armory’s Hellion made a big splash when it launched last year. This import-friendly HS Produkt VHS-2 is an excellent addition to the world of bullpup military rifles. In addition to the standard 16-inch guns, Springfield now offers 18- and 20-inch models. They kindly sent me a pre-release Hellion 20-inch model for review.

The Springfield Hellion has been rather popular. I am a little biased as I have one. Well, Springfield Armory is making some long barrel Hellion rifles now with 18″ and 20″ barrels. Here is what we know so far.

Welcome back to The Rimfire Report, our weekly article series where we discuss everything rimfire – history, news, guns, ammunition, equipment, gear, sports and more. For today’s edition, we have three rare rimfire rifles found in the catalog of the upcoming August 2023 Rock Island Premier Firearms Auction. While there are many amazing rimfire rifles consigned to this auction, in this author’s opinion, these are the top three in terms of rarity. Without further ado, let’s take a look at these unique specimens of the rimfire firearms world.

James Reeves asks: Is the Mini-14 obsolete? The Ruger Mini-14 was introduced FIFTY years ago by Ruger. Developed by Bill Ruger and Jim Sullivan, two of the engineering greats, the Ruger Mini-14 was a so-so rifle when it was invented, and most people believe that it lagged behind as the AR-15 caught on with civilian shooters. But many of you don’t know that there have been multiple changes to the Mini-14 – BIG changes – that have increased its effectiveness. But in this day and age dominated by AR, is the Mini-14 still practical to own? We look at reliability, durability, accuracy, and more in today’s video.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM R45 Multi-Host Suppressor. Last week we got a shot at the new  YHM Sidewinder M2 9mm suppressor. Today we take out the Silencer Central Banish 46, a universal pistol and rifle silencer that can handle anything from .22LR to .45-70 Gov’t. Will the Banish 46 change my mind on multi-caliber and multi-host suppressors being a primary solution? Let’s take a look.

I, James Reeves, was skeptical about the Springfield M1A Tanker. I brought this nostalgia piece, this relic of the past that wouldn’t be able to compete with modern rifles, to Thunder Ranch for review. Of course, Clint Smith, a man who grew up on the M1A, couldn’t help but give his opinion on the rifle, too.

The Foxtrot Mike Products Mike-102 is a very unique gun. It uses 5.56 AK mags but has internals similar to an AR. Why does this gun exist, and how does it perform? Let’s find out.
