To show you how far out of the loop I can get, I bring you the Wolf A1 Complete Upper Receiver which is an import of the Taiwanese T91 upper which fits to any standard AR lower.
Wolf Ammo told me this piston upper has been around since 2017. It uses a short stroke piston combined with a T91 handguard and charging handle.
Offered in 12.5″ and 14.5″ versions from various retailers.
New from Dead Air Silencers is the Sierra 5, their first dedicated 5.56 (5.56/.223, 224 Valkyrie) can.
There are two versions, compatible with either KeyMo (top) or Xeno (bottom) mounting systems as well as a direct thread model.
The construction is welded Stellite baffles wrapped in a stainless, knurled outer tube. Stellite is a Cobalt alloy with a 2300 F melt point.
It also has a flash hider front cap compatible with Sandman E-Brake and all R-Series front caps which can be swapped out in the event of a front cap strike.
Here you can see the difference in size between the Sierra 5 (bottom) and Dead Air’s military issue suppressor.
You asked and they delivered.
PTR has their new 9CT Classic, which delivers a MP5 clone with 8.86″ 3 lug barrel, push button and paddle mag release, classic plastic handguard and will accept the claw-style mount.
Comes with 20 rd steel magazine and bungee sling.
Patriot Ordnance Factory is exhibiting their new Phoenix, a 9mm pistol caliber carbine.
This 9mm gun features a direct blowback action, Pic rail at the rear for attachment of stocks/braces, and ambidextrous controls. There is a full length pic rail along the top to attach enablers and the handguard is MLOK compatible. The non-reciprocating charging handle can be configured for use from either side.

I met this delightful lady and her husband in the lobby of this year’s NRAAM in Houston. Teresa Barchuk and her husband are Life members of the NRA and typical of the folks you’ll meet if you attend one of the conventions. In fact, that’s what I love most about the NRAAM; the people that make up this organization. Everyone I meet is pleasant and has a great story.
Now, on to 14 acres of guns and gear!
McLean, VA – May 25, 2022) FN America, LLC is set to unveil custom MultiCam® patterned FN SCAR® NRCH rifles at the 151st NRA Annual Meeting held at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas, May 26 – 29, 2022. The pattern, Crye Precision’s original MultiCam®, has been applied hydrographically to the receiver and trigger module frame of the SCAR 16S, 17S and 20S commercial SCAR variants.
The legendary FN SCAR® series, having roots in its battle-proven lineage, now features dual, non-reciprocating charging handles that enable users to shoot from any position or use any grip style. The benchmark of reliability and versatility with its three variants, the FN SCAR rifles are capable of consistent accuracy from their cold hammer-forged and chrome-lined barrels and one-piece forged aluminum receiver. They deliver precision fire with aid from their fully adjustable buttstock, low-flash gas regulator and fast-handling characteristics uncommon in similar rifle platforms.
The MultiCam® pattern is arguably one of the most popular camouflage patterns currently used by conventional and special operations forces worldwide. According to Crye Precision, the MultiCam® pattern was developed to effectively limit the visual and near-IR signature of a person operating across a very wide range of physical environments and seasons. After many successful evaluations, after being proven in combat, and after becoming the officially issued pattern of the U.S. Army for all Afghanistan operations in 2010, MultiCam® is the proven multi-environment concealment solution.
To learn more about the MultiCam SCARs or other FN SCAR rifles, please visit www.fnamerica.com or the FN Booth (2923) at the 151st NRA Annual Meeting.
