This Is Me Shooting The KAC SR-47
Monday, January 19th, 2015Shot Show Sig Range Day – CANSOF Rifle
Monday, January 19th, 2015
Based on the 7.62mm SIG 716 platform, this rifle was built to answer a Canadian special operations forces requirement for a battle rifle.
According to SIG’s Kevin Brittingham, The thing that really stuck out about this requirement was the accuracy spec. They required 1 MOA at 300m suppressed. SIG was able to exceed this back with a quick detach suppressor on a rifle fired by Robby Johnson in front of CANSOF evaluators.

SHOT Show SIG Range Day – CSASS Submission
Monday, January 19th, 2015Here is a quick look at the SIG SAUER submission for the US Army Compact Semi-Automatic Sniper System. Based on the MCX platform, it is considered an MCX-MR for Mid-Range.
This rifle met all requirements for CSASS including weight, length, and suppression. It can be side charged or via the more traditional, rear charging handle.
As you can see, it is equipped with a folding stock.
While the commercial MCX is now equipped with a self regulating gas valve, the CSASS model is a two position version that is marked on the rail.
It is a full auto gun as well.
Internally, there is another difference than the standard MCX. Rather than dual springs the MCX-MR uses a single operating spring. However, high wear points such as the steel cam path inset.
Additionally, they’ve incorporated replaceable dual charging handle pins.
The MCX, regardless of class, also offers a replaceable Deflector/ Forward Assist Housing. This includes the 7.62 gun!
Another high wear area that has a replaceable steel insert is the feed ramp insert just below the ejection port.
Finally, as we mentioned during AUSA, the barrels incorporate the new tapered flash suppressor and suppressor mount.
Meet The SureFire WARCOMP
Monday, January 19th, 2015At tomorrow’s SHOT Show range day, SureFire will unveil the new WARCOMP.
Available in 5.56 and 7.62 versions for use with the SureFire SOCOM Suppressor. They are telling me that this is the first real flash hider that actually counters muzzle rise and still has great signature reduction. I can’t wait to see it for myself. They’ll also be demonstrating at their range Monday evening because at night is where they shine.
Get This – .300 Blk Krink Collab Between Rifle Dynamics and SilencerCo
Sunday, January 18th, 2015
That’s right, Rifle Dynamics and SilencerCo have come together to offer a Krink in .300 Blackout. What with the 7.62 x 39, you might wonder why even bother. According to RD’s Billy Cho, the decision was made in order to utilize subsonic ammo along with SilencerCo’s suppressor.
They’re staying mum about where the barrels came from but they will share that they are 1/7 twist. 9.25 inch barrel.
Cho also related that they aren’t over gassing these guns. They are optimized for use with suppressors and won’t cycle unsuppressed with subsonic ammo.
Right now these are being produced as a limited run of 25 as a package deal with Silencerco. But, Cho went on to say, “We will also be releasing a batch of suppressor optimized 7.62 and 5.45 guns that are basically our 700/500 series guns. Which are currently the ideal way to run suppressed.”
You can see samples of most of Rifle Dunamics’ guns they are doing with SilencerCo at their booth during SHOT show. This includes the Saiga 12 “cho-gun” RD built for SilencerCo’s Salvo12 suppressor and the new Vepr12/Saiga12 Salvo adapter.
