Tag: New Guns of 2022

There’s nothing quite like running a well-made bolt-action rifle, and when the gun in question promises to deliver sub-3/4 MOA accuracy, it’s even better. The CZ USA 600 Range Rifle offers that and more. It’s a versatile rifle that can handle all manner of uses and is capable of stellar precision. This isn’t just a rifle, it could be the bolt-action you reach for more than any other gun in your collection.

Yes, this is a production rifle, and it’s designed by CZ USA to set the standard for accuracy and precision. Although it was originally created with precision competition shooters in mind, it can do just about anything.

CZ USA states that accuracy begins with a high-quality barrel which is why they designed the 600 Range with the best barrel for the job. The gun has a heavy cold-hammer-forged barrel that’s threaded, making it suppressor-ready. It measures 24 inches in length and is made from blued steel. According to CZ, it’s made to achieve peak velocities from 6mm Creedmoor and .308 Winchester cartridges, both of which are widely used by many gun owners.

The rifle has a smooth-cycling 60-degree bolt throw made for fast handling and simplicity. Its overall design also increases clearance between the bolt and optic, making it far easier to cycle the gun without fighting for space under a scope. In addition, the bolt has an oversized alloy bolt knob to improve control and maneuverability even while wearing gloves.

The receiver is made from steel to add weight, stiffness, and longevity to the action—characteristics that are a must for a competition gun or any firearm seeing extensive use. The gun is fed by a detachable magazine for quick reloads; the mag is held securely in place by a selectable locking feature. And, of course, the magazine can be topped off through the ejection port.

This rifle has a butthook-style stock with QD attachment points on either side. It also has a tool-free adjustable cheekpiece so the height can be changed according to the specific needs of the user for the best possible cheek weld. The stock is made from laminated wood for rigidity and resistance to wear and tear. It’s colored an eye-catching black and brown layered pattern that gives the rifle additional aesthetic appeal.

Features of the rifle include:

• The cold hammer-forged barrel is suppressor ready so you can protect your hearing.
• Easy to convert caliber, making it a versatile platform.
• The ergonomic grip shape is designed for right-handed shooters with thumb and hand support, which is a must for lengthy live-fire sessions.
• CZ’s own adjustable trigger doesn’t require removing the stock to adjust it. Rotate the 4-position dial to choose your pull weight anywhere between 1.3 and 3 lbs.
• QD studs are situated beneath the forend of the rifle along with dual sling studs.
• The tool-free, adjustable cheekpiece offers a better cheek weld, which improves accuracy.
• The drilled and tapped steel receiver simplifies the addition of a scope.

MSRP for the CZ USA 600 Range Rifle is set at $1199.00.

When you think of lever-action rifles, you probably immediately think about 45-70 Government and 30-30 Winchester. There’s more to lever life than those cartridges, though. GForce Arms has come out with a 410 Bore lever-action shotgun. Not only is it tactical in appearance, but it also packs a decent punch thanks to its chambering. Whether you’re a fan of levers or a shotgun lover, the GForce Arms Huckleberry is well worth a closer look.

According to the manufacturer, this 410 Bore model is their shotgun addition to the Huckleberry line. It’s meant for lever action lovers that prefer a modern twist with finishes and features. The Huckleberry sports a tactically-appealing skeletonized stock, MLOK/Picatinny compatible forend, and high-grade aluminum receiver. GForce Arms Lifetime Limited Warranty does apply to this gun.

This is a gun created to take the lever action shotgun into the modern era. From its relatively light recoil, smooth cycling, and fast handling, it’s the ideal match for serious shooters. It doesn’t matter if you’re brand new to the world of levers or have admired them for years; the Huckleberry is a fun, useful firearm worth considering adding to your collection.

Features of the Huckleberry in 410 Bore include:

• 20-inch or 24-inch barrel length. The shorter length serves as a better brush or truck gun while a longer barrel can slightly increase velocity and accuracy.
• 7-round or 9-round capacity depending on barrel length.
• High-visibility front sight for rapid target acquisition and to draw the eye.
• The open rear sight helps the eye focus on the front sight.
• QD loop sling mounts facilitate easy attachment of a sling.
• Picatinny rail atop the handguard at the rear makes it simple to add an optic or red dot sight to the gun.
• The Picatinny rail beneath the handguard at the muzzle end is ideal for lights and lasers.
• M-LOK compatible forend is great for aftermarket accessories like lights and lasers.
• The gun takes 2.5-inch 410 Bore shotshells.
• The skeletonized stock makes it lighter weight overall.
• Easy to operate loops on lever.
• The overall length of 39 inches or 43 inches depending on the barrel length.
• An aluminum shotshell holder is on the side of the stock for extra storage of spare ammunition.
• The Huckleberry weighs either 7 pounds 9 ounces or 8 pounds 1 ounce depending on barrel length.
• It is side-loading and ejecting lever-action, meaning the loading gate is in the right-hand side of the receiver.

The Huckleberry 410 Bore lever-action is a great option for target shooting and hunting small predators and varmints. It’s even a solid choice for youth shooters thanks to the small amount of felt recoil and muzzle rise. Even the action of manipulating the lever can be easier for small hands than working a pump-action shotgun.

MSRP for the GForce Arms Huckleberry 410 Bore is not known at this time.

One of the great things about the AR pistol platform is how compact it is, but what if it could be even better? The FoldAR MoBetta AR-15 platform pistol does just what its name suggests by folding and creating a super-compact package. With a MoBetta, shooters get all the benefits of an AR pistol that’s capable of folding down to an impressively small size. Whether you want an AR pistol for home defense, use as a truck gun, or fun at the range, the dimensions of this gun when it’s folded down make it simple to take anywhere and everywhere.

According to FoldAR, the MoBetta is the pinnacle of pistol folding technology. The MoBetta lineup is the second generation of these pistols and is designed with numerous features added to improve overall performance. These guns are available chambered in 5.56 NATO or 300 BLK. They’re not just folding AR pistols either, they’re the company’s DoubleFold design. These guns fold with the brace to one side of the pistol and the forend at the other, making them incredibly small.

Features of the gun include:

• FoldAR’s Quick Change Barrel System allows the user to change out calibers and barrels lengths quickly so it can be used for whatever they need at the time.
• Barrel changes function reliably after installation and, according to the gun maker, perform better than any other weapon system on the market.
• Bootleg Inc.’s Adjustable-Gas BCG allows the user to control gas according to the load being used and to fine-tune accuracy.
• With the threaded barrel, it’s suppressor ready.
• The M-LOK compatible modular handguard is great for mounting aftermarket accessories such as lights and lasers.
• With 3 different lengths to choose from, the gun can be tailored to the user’s needs and applications.
• Overall weight reduction makes the gun more maneuverable and easier to carry for longer periods of time.
• Super-compact folded dimensions make transportation easier.

The MoBetta utilizes Dead Foot Arms MSC patented folding brace which is made to give users the ultimate in concealability. Folding the gun down only takes seconds, and re-deploying the gun is just as fast. Texturing at the front and back of the pistol grip makes the guns easier to hold, even with wet or sweaty hands. Every gun ships with a sling pack from Red Rock Outdoor Gear Rover. And because these guns are made with a pistol brace, they’re not NFA weapons.

MSRP for the FoldAR MoBetta pistol varies by barrel length and caliber.

AR pistols aren’t only fun, they’re useful. Applications vary from serving as truck guns, being used for home defense, or hunting appropriately-sized game or varmints. With this in mind, ET Arms is offering the PlumCrazy Generation 2 AR-15 pistol. This AR platform pistol is made for versatility and practical purposes, and all with an eye for quality and reliable performance.

ET Arms, formerly known as PlumCrazy, has a reputation for putting thought and planning into their firearms. From its buffer tube to its muzzle brake, the PlumCrazy Gen 2 AR-15 pistol is a great example of that dedication to quality. This pistol has a polymer receiver to lighten the overall weight while simultaneously providing a durable foundation for the platform.

The pistol is chambered in 5.56 NATO and comes standard with a 7.5-inch barrel with a 1-in-8 twist rate. A 7-inch M-LOK compatible handguard can be used for whatever aftermarket accessories the user desires. The upper and lower receivers have metal overmold inserts and are patented designs from the manufacturer. According to the gun maker, this is one of the strongest AR pistols on the market. Perhaps the most interesting feature is the company’s Saf-T-First Trigger, which enables the safety to function even with an empty chamber. Each gun ships with a 30-round magazine.

Features of the pistol:

• The ET Arms Saf-T-First trigger makes it possible to engage the safety without chambering a round.
• Polymer receivers reduce the overall weight of the gun.
• The receivers have metal overmold inserts for superior durability and resistance to wear and tear.
• The 7-inch M-LOK compatible handguard allows for the easy addition of aftermarket accessories such as lights and lasers.
• 7.5-inch barrel length improves maneuverability in close quarters.
• 1-in-8 twist rate stabilizes a range of bullet weights.
• A 30-round magazine ships with the pistol.
• A Picatinny rail sits over the upper receiver for easy mounting of optics.
• The forward section of the Picatinny rail makes it possible to mount iron sights if so desired.
• A brass deflector comes standard, which helps shield shooters from ejecting brass.
• The forward assist on the upper receiver helps get the gun in battery if a round doesn’t load fully.
• Tension screws hold the handguard in place, and can be easily tightened by the user if need be.
• The muzzle brake reduces muzzle rise and mitigates felt recoil.

This AR pistol is a smart choice for gun owners looking for a firearm small enough to fit into a backpack or storage space in a vehicle, but larger than a handgun. Thanks to its polymer construction it weighs less than many similar firearms, so it won’t add unnecessary bulk to your load. And with its 5.56 NATO chambering, this pistol is capable of handling all manner of defensive situations.

MSRP for the ET Arms PlumCrazy Gen 2 AR-15 platform pistol is set at $549.99.

Lightweight, highly maneuverable guns are fantastic for defensive use. The BT USA line of APC9 guns includes SBR (short-barreled rifle) and pistol variants, each with features designed to give the user a stellar performance. Guns in this line have lightweight aluminum receivers and dimensions that make them easy to transport and maneuver in a variety of situations.

BT-USA provides details of the line:

These Limited models [are] available in short-barreled rifle (SBR) configurations and feature a newly developed MBT folding and telescoping stock, a fully ambidextrous aluminum lower receiver with a flared magazine well and recontoured M-LOK compatible forends. The Limited Series consist of a 6.9-inch barrel model and a longer 8.9-inch variant; both feature tri-lug attachment systems compatible with B&T’s line of RBS9 tri-lug suppressors, and others featuring this attachment system.

In addition to the new aluminum receiver set, M-LOK accessory slots are positioned at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock, an all-new folding telescopic MDT stock assembly with three-position adjustable cheek riser and eight length of pull settings offers the ultimate in functionality and dialed in ergonomics for shooters of all shapes, sizes, and preferences. A pair of QD sling cups adorn either side of the stock, while a rubberized buttstock offers a secure, yet comfortable purchase. A flat faced Elftmann Tactical trigger system round out these premium variants of our very popular APC9 that are being offered in finite quantities.

Chris Mudgett Vice President of Marketing, B&T USA, said:

The heart of the new APC9 Limited guns is our new fully ambidextrous aluminum lower receiver featuring a highly functional flared magazine well similar in size and shape to our popular jet-funnel accessory yet formed directly into the receiver. We hit the sweet spot with the 8.9-inch variant with its longer slick forend and MBT stock; this combination makes for an extremely fast-handling, lightweight, ergonomic platform whose fit can be so dialed in, it feels like a natural extension.

Features of the guns include:

• Dual auto-folding, non-reciprocating charging handle. Because it folds, there are fewer protrusions and a lower risk of snagging on objects.
• B&T USA paid attention to detail to improving comfort and usability with improved lower receiver ergonomics.
• Side positioned bolt hold open/release offers a visual of when their last shot has been fired.
• Removable M4-compatible grips make it possible for any M4 platform-compatible grips to be used.
• Magpul M-Lok accessory slots. M-Lok is the most commonly used mounting system in the firearms industry and having these slots on the handguard makes it possible to add a number of aftermarket accessories such as lights and lasers
• Multiple stock and brace options are available separately so the firearms can be tailored to specific shooter’s desires thanks to the wide arraw of stock and brace choices.
• Monolithic machined receivers. As a result of their being created as one piece, receivers are more durable and resistant to damage related to heavy use
• Hydraulic buffer system is made to absorb a larger amount of energy produced by live fire, resulting in less felt recoil and mitigation of muzzle rise
• .Complete system integration for improved reliability, accuracy, and longevity

These guns are great for home defense, use as truck guns, or just spending time at the range. There are also two models available for training purposes, one that’s inert and the other made for UTMs for simulations. This is a broad, well-thought-out line of guns; whatever you need, BT USA has it.

MSRP for the BT USA APC9 line varies by specific model. Please note certain models are SBRs (short barreled rifle) and will require the associated tax stamp and fees ATF approval.
