SureFire ICAR 6ARC Preproduction Carbine

Saturday, January 25th, 2025

This is the SureFire Intermediate Combat Assault Rifle in 6 ARC we previewed before SHOT Show. It was displayed in the Magpul booth at the show to showcase the new PMAG 25 ICAR GEN M3 Window. There are quite a few little changes from the prototype gun I fired in late November.

What I really like about this is that SureFire color matched the Magpul OD accessories for the finish.

Development of this firearm has led to quite a few new capabilities which will begin to influence the SureFire line, like this new muzzle device.

My SHOT Show Apology

Saturday, January 25th, 2025

This year for SHOT Show I scheduled entirely too many meetings, including breakfasts and dinners (and travel time) to properly cover the show. It takes free time to sit down and create posts and I just didn’t have it this year. Consequently, you’ll see articles in what I saw next week, right here on SSD.
