SHOT Show 2018 – CZ USA

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2018

IMG_0287

The Scorpion EVO III S2 Micro was developed at the behest of an undercover drug interdiction unit for a smaller, suppressed Scorpion SMG. It features a 4″ barrel and an HB industries handguard. CZ states that the S2 Micro with its purpose-built suppressor is shorter than a standard Scorpion with “one of the most popular micro 9mm cans on the market” by nearly 3″, and can spit out 147gr 9mm loads at well under 130 dB. CZ will be releasing a civilian-legal pistol version of this variant, dubbed the Scorpion Evo 3 S2 Micro Pistol /w Brace, this coming Summer. It will come complete with a NoOsprey faux suppressor from SilencerCo, and a telescoping SB Tactical arm brace.

The suppressor itself, dubbed the S2 TI Reflex, was developed with assistance from Aerocharger Ballistics. A fully-welded titanium suppressor, the S2 TI Reflex sports a 2″ reflex blast chamber, and weighs only 9.6 oz. CZ will also release a stainless steel model made of 17-4, with similar performance, but a weight increase to 15.36 oz.

SHOT Show 2018 – Franklin Armory Reformation

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2018

The wait is over, the mystery revealed on The Reformation, Franklin Armory’s ‘not-SBR’ that left everyone guessing.

IMG_0245

So, what allows it to defy NFA classification, despite its 11.5″ barrel and collapsible stock? It’s the barrel. Specifically, the Reformation line will feature Franklin’s NRS Barrel Technology. NRS, which stands for “Not a Rifle or Shotgun”, is a barrel with straight cut lands and grooves that retains a standard chamber. Because the barrel doesn’t impart spin on the projectile, the ATF decreed it doesn’t meet the definition of rifling, and as such the Reformation can’t be classified as a rifle or shotgun, short-barred or otherwise, only a ‘firearm’.

IMG_0244

What does this do to accuracy? Franklin claims to have tested 4 MOA accuracy with off-the-shelf ammo, but they’ve also developed fin and flare stabilized projectiles and ammo specifically for use with the Reformation, that offers near-MOA performance.

The initial Reformation firearms will be chambered in .300 BLK, with 5.56 to follow shortly after. Models without the BFSIII binary trigger will also be made available.

Industry Day At The Range – Battle Arms Development OIP 2.0

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2018

IMG_0145

A few years back, Battle Arms Development unveiled the OIP ‘Ounces Is Pounds’ rifle, a limited-production AR-15 pattern carbine, designed in concert with Bentwood Gunsmithing to see just how light an AR could be while retaining proper function. At this year’s Range Day, they had the OIP 2.0 at the firing line.

The OIP weighs in at easily under 4 lbs., with a receiver that is further skeletonized when compared to BAD’s already aggressively lightened lightweight receiver set, and the receiver extension is as minimalist as it can possibly be; pretty much a fixed aluminum tube with a shoulder rest for a stock. The barrel, a very slim pencil profile, was noted by the rep as being even lighter than the already heavily lightened dimpled barrel of the original OIP. As you may also notice, the optic, in this case a Trijicon MRO, is supported by a skeletonized mount. True to its name, if there’s a place weight could be saved on this rifle, it was saved.

If you’re wondering how the reduction in weight effected the recoil, it wasn’t bad. .223/5.56 isn’t really a recoil-intensive round to begin with, so even with the reduction in rifle weight, it was still extremely controllable.

The rep at the booth noted that they had enough components to build roughly 50 OIP 2.0s. Despite this, no immediate word on availability.

SHOT Show Industry Day At The Range – CMMG Guard

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2018

IMG_0166

The Guard is an AR-15 pattern pistol caliber carbine manufactured by CMMG. With a receiver crafted from billet 7075 aluminum, the Guard features CMMG’s Radial Delayed blowback action. Noted by a CMMG rep to be the US answer to H&K’s roller delayed blowback action, Radial Delayed Blowback utilizes a bolt that forced to rotate and unlock from the chamber upon firing, slowing the carrier group enough to safely cycle. This unique action allows for a lighter bolt carrier group and buffer than would traditionally be required for pistol-caliber AR pattern weapons, and also reduces felt recoil.

The Guard is designed to accept Glock magazines, and is available in both 9mm and .45 ACP.
