<p>Taking an essentially standard MR762A1 (7.62&#215;51 NATO) semi-automatic rifle, Heckler &amp; Koch USA turns the MR762A1 LRPIII into a more effective precision rifle by an astute addition of the right optics and accessories. A Vortex Viper PSTII 3-15×44 FFP MRAD, HK G28 adjustable cheekpiece buttstock, and LaRue Tactical BRM-S bipod are the primary add-ons that make the MR762A1 Long Rifle Package (LRP) more than a sum of parts.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">MVP Precision bolt-action rifle</h3>



<p>The Mossberg MVP Precision bolt-action rifle, chambered in 6.5CM and 7.62&#215;51 NATO, was built with a purpose in mind – precision. Features include an aluminum chassis and slim-profile hand guard, LUTH-AR MBA-3 adjustable stock, and a Magpul MOE+ grip. And unlike the competition, this bolt-action, with its multi-patented design, will accept both M1A/M14 and AR10/SR25-style magazines. Combining sub-MOA accuracy, superior-handling and Mossberg’s proven bolt-action platform, the MVP Precision takes long-range shooting to a new level.</p>

<p>The Black Rain Ordnance custom shop has out done itself on this American flag “We the People” rifle. They put in many hours of laser work on the 7075 T-6 billet aluminum receivers to deep engrave the image. Plus, many more hours of laser time in all the fine details that are placed on the rifle. The stencils for the stars and stripes are all hand laid one at a time just to be finished off with four different hand sprayed colors to complete the build.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">CZ Bren 2 MS Carbine</h3>



<p>Based on the select-fire Bren 2, this handy rifle operates via a short-stroke gas piston system with a return spring contained within the action itself. Without the need for a buffer tube, it features a folding, adjustable stock. At 35.6 inches long, the folding stock brings its length down to just 28 inches — making it much easier to transport or store.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">DRD Tactical</h2>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">APTUS</h2>



<p>The Aptus uses DRD Tactical’s patented internal recoil system that eliminates standard buffer tubes and springs associated with most AR style rifles. This feature allows it to be fired with the stock folded and maintain in the ready for close quarter battle situations. Discreet and designed for compact portability, it can go from box-to-built in 60 seconds without the use of tools. We’ve eliminated the need for an additional upper to change calibers, giving you the added versatility.</p>

<p>The APC9K was adopted in 2019 by the U.S. Army as its next-generation Subcompact Weapon (SCW). The weapon performed extremely well during the official Picatinny Arsenal trials. It had the most noticeable performance by having only two stoppages over an 18,000-round torture test and accuracy that far exceeded the required 100mm group at 35 meters.

<p>The CMMG FourSix is the first-ever AR to hit the civilian market that’s chambered in 4.6x30mm.

CMMG’s FourSix is built on the company’s BANSHEE, Mk4 platform which features AR-15 controls and modularity. Best of all, the patented CMMG 40RD 4.6x30mm magazine will seat into a standard AR-15 magwell, which means users can pair their existing AR-15 lower receiver with a CMMG FourSix upper receiver and magazine.</p>

<p>The OG Honey Badger was developed at AAC by previous owner and Q founder Kevin Brittingham and his R&amp;D team at the request of an elite U.S. Special Operations group looking to replace their MP5-SD’s with an upgraded platform. Requirements included the ability to shoot a rifle caliber round while maintaining low visibility and excellent signature suppression. Developed in conjunction with 300 AAC Blackout, the Honey Badger was born, exceeded expectations, but never made it to the commercial market.</p>



<p>Enter the Honey Badger SD by Q. At first glance, this Honey Badger appears to be the same as the original. Q focused on taking the iconic Badger to the next level and improved upon every technical aspect of the first-generation design. From the proprietary, under-handguard suppressor, custom gas system, custom AR trigger, and its telescoping stock – HB 2.0 does not disappoint.</p>



<p>Want a Honey Badger, but don’t want to deal with the hassle of a two-stamp gun? Q offers the Honey Badger SBR with a short handguard and no can making it 6 inches shorter, overall, as shown below.</p>
