Daniel Defense announced the next three new additions to their existing DD5 line today.  Each model accepts standard Magpul SR25/M110 pattern magazines, and some are available in multiple chamberings. These include 308 Winchester, 260 Remington, and 6.5 Creedmoor.  Below are some of the new and existing features of the lineup.   

In all honesty, I never planned on buying a PTR 32 KF and it stemmed from a rather simple mistake that turned into a new gun purchase. I was online and instead of ordering 100 rounds of 5.56 ammo, I ordered a 1,000 round case of 7.62×39. I still to this day don’t understand whose mistake it was, but rather than trying to get my money back, I decided to buy a new gun. Since I was young. I grew up shooting AKs and variations of the AK system so I wanted to look for something a bit different. I checked out a few different AR-15s in 7.62×39 but ended up liking the PTR 32 most.

DNO Firearms has published a video where they test a DX-7 rifle with 3D printed polymer receivers. The DX-7 rifle is basically an improved AK that utilizes upper and lower receiver layout still using many standard AK parts with no or minor changes. The original DX-7 receivers are made of aluminum, however, looks like the design of these receivers will allow to successfully make their polymer versions, too. Let’s watch the mentioned video.

A couple months ago I received the SAINT VICTOR from Springfield Armory for review. I am a fan of the AR10 platform, own a couple so, I was ready to put it through the “TFB wringer”. As all in the Saint line do, the Victor arrived in a case with two magazines and a “SAINT” morale patch. My last rifle arrived in a cardboard box with no magazine. Although they’re small details, it does give it a cool factor you do not always get these days

Over the last 6 months, I’ve run the Primary Weapons Systems as my main rifle and it’s been an interesting ride. When I first started looking at PWS line up of guns, I was really curious how the long stroke gas piston system worked so I ordered the MK116 MOD 2-M rifle. The rifle may look like an AR-15 but apart from looks, the gun is almost entirely different from your standard AR rifle.

Welcome everyone to the 17th edition of ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, one of our many series here on TFB. If you missed any one of our other articles, 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 just strait 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.

I heard how rewarding it was to build a “clone” rifle probably five or six years ago, so I decided to go for it and built an MK12 MOD 0 about four years ago. Clone rifles are a great way to build something you can use your imagination and learn a lot about history. It starts to also show why guys built the rifles the way they did during combat deployments. We get so caught up in the gun community with the newest and greatest around we tend to forget to look back and appreciate how we got to this point. I’ve gotten a lot of questions about what the best way to build a clone rifle is and there are a few different aspects to look at when starting your build.

The GSG-16 is the latest version of American Tactical Inc’s popular GSG-5 .22LR plinker. It is based off the same internals as a GSG-5 but has a new exterior housing to update the GSG into the GSG-16.

The 5.56x45mm Carmel was introduced recently by IWI Israel. We haven’t really gotten a chance to get our hands on one until now when we caught up to IWI in Tel Aviv, Israel. No word yet on whether or not the rifle would be introduced to the U.S. commercial market but it does look like IWI wants to market it for the international export marketplace with military users.

The POF-USA Revolution .308 AR10 patterned rifle has won the 2019 Rifle of the Year award from the Firearms Industry Choice Awards. Details on the announcement and the award can be found below.

Picture Of Today is an FN SCAR 20S, being zeroed at the range.

During the initial review of the SIG Rattler Canebrake, I ended up liking the firearm more than I initially thought I would.  As I mentioned at the conclusion of the original review, I liked it enough that I decided to buy it, and then take things a step further.  

We are in the heat of summer and most of our guns are equally hot, too! Hopefully, everyone is hitting the gun range and sending some lead down range. With the beginning of a new month, we have a new category for our Reader’s Choice Awards! For July, we are asking you what is the “BEST PCC (Pistol Caliber Carbine).” We will further explain what we are looking for in a PCC for those who might be unfamiliar, but for now, we want to see a barrage of comments, arguments, and possibly compliments to people’s suggestions of what is the “BEST PCC (Pistol Caliber Carbine).”

Today’s Picture takes us to the Island of Sardinia in Italy, and the Teulada Training Area.

Orsis was at ISDEF 2019 with the relatively new to U.S. readers .308 Win ‘Bro’ semiautomatic precision rifle. Known more for their T-5000 manually repeating rifles in use throughout the world, the K15 is the company’s entry into the semiautomatic field. As of yet, we don’t know of any large scale Military or Law Enforcement orders for the K15 and company representatives didn’t mention any upcoming ones at ISDEF 2019 either. Since our earlier post on the rifle, we’ve noticed some minor differences to this most recent version, most that appear to be cosmetic or accessory-based in nature. First and foremost, the safety pictograms have been redesigned and moved about an inch up on the receiver. The selector is of a different design than earlier as well. Looking at the stock, we now see that the display rifle has a FAB Defense GL-CORE CP AR-15 telescoping and cheek rest configurable stock, mounted on a Russian Hartman AR15 buffer tube.

A couple of months ago we reported about the prototype of a civilian AK-12 rifle that was being tested by competition shooters in Russia. That rifle had a model designation Saiga-AK12. Several days ago, Kalashnikov Concern announced that 2,000 deactivated AK-12 rifles will be sold to the civilians. And the latest news is that the civilian versions of both AK-12 and AK-15 rifles will soon hit the shelves of Russian gun stores under a new model designation of AK TR3.

When I first picked up my P365 in January of 2018, I was one of the lucky few to actually find one. I drove down in one of the worst snowstorms I’ve ever seen, but I was determined to pick up this elusive gun right after returning from the SHOT Show. Right after filling out the paperwork, I jumped in my truck and drove through a foot of snow to shoot the gun. Fast forward 18 months, and not much has changed for me with this gun.

The background of this Handguard and Chassis from Infitech Sweden Ltd. is that after a lot of bureaucracy, the Ruger PC Carbine was finally approved for hunting purposes in Sweden.

The M1 Carbine was in service for three decades with the United States military (and others) and served in quite a few wars.  After the retirement of the M1 Carbine, it was still in use by police departments around the world.  The M1 Carbine gets mixed reviews online, but I’ve always found them a joy to shoot.  You can look back at the Carbine’s TFB coverage  HERE.  You can also view the M1 Carbine Field Manual HERE.  For a deeper look into the M1, M2 and M3 Carbines and its intricacies, you can view the Technical Manual HERE.  I’d like to thank my Father-in-law for the use of his Carbine for this article.

Now I can already tell some of you are reading the title wondering who  BG Defense is and I can understand why. They are a growing custom AR manufacturer in Grand Rapids, MI and they are somewhat of a rarity. In a sea of small AR manufacturers, these guys live and breath AR-15s. They do mostly government and Law Enforcement contracts for various departments around the country but are pushing more into the commercial market. I can hear some of you guys groaning saying get on with it and talk about the rifle.

I have never shot one myself, but I have heard rumors that short-barreled Heckler & Koch G3s are quite nasty to shoot.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves returns to Taran Tactical Innovations to train with Taran Butler, Keanu Reeves’ trainer for John Wick 1 and John Wick 2. Unlike episodes 1 and 2 of “how to shoot like John Wick”, episode 3 will look at shooting a pistol caliber carbine and/or submachinegun, much like the SIG MPX used in John Wick 3: Parabellum. Want to know how to shoot like John Wick? Make sure to check out the Taran Tactical playlist.

REMEMBER the  four rules of gun safety:

Back in April 2018, we reported that Germany’s Hesse state police were in search for a new 5.56x45mm rifle. German defence blog Strategie-Technik reports that Hessian state police have selected a variant of the Heckler & Koch HK416.

With the market flooded in AR magazines, there’s been the age-old rivalry between metal magazines and polymer magazines. Often there are debates between people on which style magazine they prefer and give a number of reasons. There are also companies who make hybrid magazines which use both metal and polymer features. So what do you buy? I’ll break it down and give my perspective on the debate.

Now don’t get me wrong. The AR-15 is an amazing platform and I own several. I love how ergonomic and modular the rifles are along with the availability of parts in the market. I have been trying to get away from the AR-15 control system and look at new options because it’s never bad to look at your options.

In this episode of TFBTV’s NRAAM 2019 coverage, James Reeves visits B&T to check out their new B&T APC-9K submachinegun/SMG/PCC, which recently won a contract with the U.S. Army. The APC-9K is a PDW-sized 9mm submachinegun that accepts B&T’s proprietary mags and packs a punch in a very small, easy to use package – BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! Yes, it also can accept Glock magazines with the purchase of a Glock-mag compatible lower. Special thanks to Tim of Military Arms Channel for allowing us to crash his range to shoot the B&T!

The Savage Arms MSR-15 Recon was one of the original, staple models they introduced when they first got into the game of modern sporting rifles, or  Modern Savage Rifles ( MSR). As more and more people want to test their long-range prowess and see how far they can truly engage a target, companies like Savage Arms get requests for more accurate MSR platforms. To give the people what they want, they have now introduced the MSR-15 Recon LRP. A long-range, precision version of their original MSR-15 Recon in cartridges that can truly fly. The specifications for this new rifle can be read below as presented by Savage Arms:

Savage Arms has introduced a NEW Takedown version of their Model 64 .22 Long Rifle that has a phenomenal price-point. At a full retail, MSRP of $249 there is nothing that can really compete with it in regards to takedown, rimfire rifles. So whether it’s journeying to the range with your kids or wilderness hikes by yourself, this little pack-able rifle could make for a great companion.
