Zenith have a number of pretty exciting products on the way ranging from new iterations of their ZF-5, piston-driven AR-15s and a range of new 5.56x5mm roller delayed rifles – modelled after the HK33 and HK53, and a 7.62x51mm G3 pattern rifle too.

In this episode of TFBTV’s SHOT Show coverage, Luke C is visiting Kirk at the Aero Precision booth to see their updated offerings for their new Solus rifle system that was first introduced at NRA 2022. Aero brought the Solus to SHOT 2023 with a whole host of new accessories and options including Aero’s very own in-house chassis for the Solus as well as barreled action options for those who want to build out their own precision rifle.

At this year’s SHOT Show we caught up with the guys at Florida-based Adams Arms, known for their piston driven ARs and the AA-19 (literally the most expensive pistol Hop has ever reviewed over at TFBTV).

In this episode of TFBTV, @JamesReeves is at the FN booth to discuss the new FN SCAR 15P, the “pistol” version of the SCAR rifle with a 7.5″ barrel.

Black Rain Ordnance is typically known for their custom ARs and eye-catching Cerakote jobs, but they also had one of the most innovative new products of SHOT Show this year. The Commando rifle is a new bullpup battle rifle chambered in full power battle rifle cartridges like .308 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmoor. Attention was paid to ergonomics and controls, and keeping the overall system weight down. It’s still early in production, but this is definitely one to watch.

Brigade Manufacturing Inc.’s new Makasi rifle was on display at SHOT Show 2023 in the AmChar Wholesale booth. It blends the FAL and AR-15 into something new, almost sort of modernized FN CAL. Let’s delve into this unique design and what it has to offer.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is with @dsainc to discuss their newest FAL for 2023. The G-Series FAL is DSA’s clone of the most desirable collector FAL in the world.

In tis episode of TFBTV’s SHOT Show coverage, James Reeves is visiting the Bond Arms booth to see their wild new lever action AR-style rifle. It accepts 870 buttstocks and almost any AR-style upper. James interviews Gordon Bond himself about this innovative rifle.

New for 2023 from Palmetto State Armory are AKS-74U (a.k.a. Krinkov) style pistols. PSA brought to SHOT Show 2023 the versions of their new Krinkovs chambered in 5.45x39mm and 5.56x45mm, which will be the first to hit the shelves, however, they will also be offering these pistols chambered in .300 Blackout and 7.62x39mm. The PSA Krinkovs are completely made in-house and will be available in Q1-Q2 2023.

At SHOT Show 2023, B&T unveiled all-new suppressors, firearms, and imported SVD rifles.  A whole host of different rifles, pistols, and machine guns were on display showcasing these new products.  I had a chance to sit down with B&T and talk about what’s new for the market in 2023.

Added to the recently launched Pursuit line of Stag Arms hunting rifles is the new Pursuit bolt action rifle. At SHOT Show 2023, we had a chance to take a look at the pre-production versions of this rifle. Let’s see what features Stag Arms offers in this new bolt action rifle.

Converting .308 Winchester gas guns to 6.5 Creedmoor is normally just a matter of barrel change. No wonder why every time a company introduces an AR10 pattern gun, it’s almost guaranteed that they’ll be offering it in .308 Win and 6.5 CM. Well, the .277 Fury has the same case head and overall length dimensions as the .308 and 6.5 so it was only a matter of time before SIG announced versions of their MCX Spear chambered in these cartridges. At a SIG Sauer range event hosted in Clark County Shooting Complex, we had a chance to take a look at and shoot the SIG Sauer MCX Spear in 6.5 Creedmoor.

Anderson Manufacturing is a major producer of AR-15 parts and guns, but they had other things on display at SHOT Show as well.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is visiting with B&T. B&T USA plans on importing the Hungarian FEG Dragunov rifles into the USA in 2023 – and the first batch is already here. There are a few hundred more coming in and they will all be available from B&T through their new “Import Line.” See the vid for more details.

New for 2023 from IWI US is an American version of IWI’s Carmel rifle.  With the same 2 position gas selector and cold hammer forged, chrome line free-floated barrel as the international Carmel, the US semiautomatic only version has some cosmetic differences that may be a better fit for the US market.  Let’s take a look.

In this episode of TFBTV, @JamesReeves is at SHOT Show 2023 visiting Zastava Arms, the largest importer of AKs in the United States. Zastava has big news: The Zastava Underfolder (yes, with a real underfolder trunnion) is finally here. See today’s video for details.

There was significant buzz around FN America’s booth during the first day of SHOT 2023. FN America have unveiled a brand new rifle developed for a US government requirement. We headed over to take a look.

In this episode of TFBTV, @JamesReeves is at SHOT Show 2023 Industry Day at the Range when, all of a sudden, he’s approached by the guys at Olympia Arms to try out a really strange, reciprocating barrel AR-10 that allegedly has less recoil than a 5.56mm AR-15. Is it true?

Pristine Actions produces bolt action receivers for custom rifle builds. They attended Industry Day at the Range and had rifles build on their actions available for use.

Back at SHOT 2020 we tried Wilkinson Tactical’s AR shotgun. This year we caught up with them again at this year’s Industry at the Range Day and they ran us through their new models and their conversion combo that allows the lower to be used with either a shotgun or AR-10 .308 upper. The conversion takes seconds.

Zastava USA had all kinds of new things in the works for 2023.  First and most prominent,will be the addition to their catalogue of true underfolding ZPAPM70’s in the M70AB configuration, complete with bayonet lug.  In addition to being a true underfolder integrated into the receiver as opposed to their bolt-on underfolding kit, the new under folders will be the first Zastava USA ZPAP’s to have a bayonet lug as well.

Shot Show 2023 range day was our first opportunity to get hands-on with Uintah Precision’s new Modern Sporting Muzzleloader.  Built on an AR lower receiver its aim is to bring a modern touch to the muzzleloader market.  I had a chance to get a closer look at this new muzzleloader and speak with Uintah employees about the rifle at this year’s Industry Day at the Range.

A wet and windy day at the range couldn’t stop us from checking out one of the newest rifles on the line. The Bellator from Georgia-based 21st TEC is a new precision system developed for military, law enforcement and commercial customers. The Bellator is a Multi-Caliber modular bolt action rifle designed for precision sub-MOA long range accuracy. It’s chambered in 338 Lapua Magnum, 300 Norma Magnum, .308 and 6.5 Creedmoor.

At SHOT 2023’s Industry Day at the Range, Mean Arms unveiled their new Bearing Delayed 9mm carbine.  This new design uses their existing endomags in conjunction with a standard pattern AR-15 lower.  A set of three ball bearings (rather than rollers) are used in order to create a more tuneable delayed blowback firearm.  I had the opportunity to shoot the carbine and speak with Mean Arms about this radically new design.

Australian Defense company NIOA has acquired Barrett Firearms. Founded in 1982 By Ronnie Barrett the company quickly became synonymous with their .50 caliber anti-materiel rifles and later thier precision rifles including the MK22 Advanced Sniper Rifle. Barrett rifles have been used by militaries, police and civilian shooters all around the world.

Ahead of this year’s SHOT Show SIG Sauer held an independent range day at the Clark County Shooting Complex putting on some impressive defense capability demonstration and showcasing their current range of firearms, optics and accessories.

The Beretta BRX1 is projected to arrive in the USA as of 2024.  We got a chance to put some rounds downrange and play with the easy modularity of Beretta’s silky smooth straight pull action today, let’s take a closer look:

At today’s SHOT Show pre-industry day at the range Cadex Defence showcased their new CDX-SS SEVEN S.T.A.R.S PRO rifle.  Designed with the PRS shooter in mind, the SEVEN S.T.A.R.S. PRO is feature-packed right out of the box.  Cadex was happy to announce there’s no need to wait as the rifle being shown is shipping now.  Let’s take a closer look.
