  • Steyr Scout, the Steyr Scout Provides the Ideal Solution for Versatility, Durability, Accuracy and Reliability in a Compact and Lightweight Bolt-Action Rifle Platform
    Gun Africa Classifieds https://www.gunafrica.co.za/ Steyr Scout, The Steyr Scout provides the ideal solution for versatility, durability, accuracy and reliability in a compact and lightweight bolt-action rifle platform. Developed in a nearly decade-long collaboration with legendary Marine Corps Lt.Col. Jeff Cooper, the Scout boasts an extensive list of innovative features. Backup “ghost-ring” iron sights integrated to the top rail can be deployed within seconds should the optics fail. In keeping with Cooper’s requirement for a magazine cutoff, Steyr incorporated a two-position magazine system that allowed the rifle to be fed individually with the five-round magazine in a lowered position. The magazine could be seated one step further with minimal pressure, allowing the bolt to feed cartridges directly from the magazine. A second five-round backup magazine is contained in the buttstock in case of an urgent need to reload. With a fluted, cold-hammer-forged barrel measuring 19 inches, an overall length of 38.6 inches and an out-of-the-box weight of just 6.6 pounds, the Scout is a breeze to pack out on long adventures, patrolling the farm or taking a quick trip to the range. The compact design of the stock features an innovative integrated bipod that is hardly noticeable until it is folded out from the stock.

    2017 CATALOGUE ART OF PRECISION «Promtechnologia» (Industrial Technology) company directs careful attention to its products’ quality which allows it to gain some impressive results: Orsis rifles’ accuracy exceeds their most common counterparts’ results greatly. This reality is confirmed by the multiple winning scores of shooters participating in high-accuracy shooting international competitions with their Orsis rifles in hands. There is a parameter in ballistics called “minute of angle” (or MOA) which estimates accuracy of shooting and it is defined, as a rule, by a group of 3-5 shots. Rifles having MOA ratio less than 1 are called sniper rifles. «Promtechnologia» company guarantees that all Orsis rifles demonstrate accuracy not over 0.5 MOA and a number of models demonstrate even better performance. www.orsis.com 3 President’s Message 4 Orsis Special 6 Orsis SE T-5000 M 8 Orsis M-15 Carbine 12 Orsis AR-10 National Match 16 Orsis Hunting 20 Orsis 120/140 22 Orsis SE Hunter M 26 Orsis SE Alpine M 30 Marocchi Si12 / Walnut 34 T-5000 / 8-11 120/140 / 22-25 Varmint / 48-51 Marocchi Si12 / Plastic 36 Marocchi First-E 40 Marocchi First-E Deluxe 42 Orsis Sport 46 Orsis Varmint M 48 Orsis F-Class 52 Glock Pistols 54 M-15 / 12-15 Hunter / 26-29 F-Class / 52-53 Production 56 High-Technology Equipment 58 High-Precision Technologies 59 Exceptional Materials 60 Innovative Development 61 International Cooperation 61 AR-10 / 16-19 Alpine / 30-33 Glock / 54-55 Services 62 Rifle Barrels Replacement 63 Cerakote Coating Application 63 Technical Maintenance 64 Decoration & Engraving 65 Orsis Сustom 65 Dealer Network 66 Marocchi / 34-45 Contacts 66 HIGH-PRECISION FIREARMS SYSTEMS ORSIS 4 ORSIS ART OF PRECISION President’s Message 5 Dear friends!

  • To See Which Assault Rifle Can Best Withstand the Rigors of the Sandbox, the Army Conducted a “Dust Test” Between the M4, SCAR, 416 and XM-8
    By David Crane Photos courtesy U.S. Army olt’s M4 carbine came in dead last in an “Extreme Dust Test” (EDT) con- ducted in the fall of 2007 that pitted the current-issue carbine against the FN’s Mk16 (SCAR-Light), HK’s 416, and HK’s XM8. The impetus for the test, the second dust test con- ducted on the M4 in the same year (2007), was CSen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), who believed that more reliable assault rifles and carbines than the M4 existed and should be compared to the M4 before the U.S. Army issued an approxi- mately $375-million sole-source procurement contract to Colt. In April 2007, Sen. Coburn stated in a letter, “I am concerned with the Army’s plans to procure nearly half a million new rifles outside of any competitive process.” So, Coburn asked that the Army hold a “…free and open competition.” Accordingly, the U.S. Army Test and Evalu- ation Center (ATEC) team tested 10 sample guns of each weapon system, 40 guns total, and exposed them all to 25 hours of “dusting.” Dust testing consisted of each rifle getting a heavy dose of lubricant, the muzzle being capped, and the ejection port cover closed. Then, each weapon was exposed to a heavy dust environment in a dust chamber for 30 minutes. After the dust bath, a tester fired 120 rounds through each weapon. Then, back in the dust To see which assault rifle can best withstand the rigors of the sandbox, the Army conducted a “dust test” between the M4, SCAR, 416 and XM-8.

  • PREAMBLE Whereas the People of the State of Oregon Find That Gun Violence in Oregon and the United States, Resulting in Horrific
    PREAMBLE Whereas the People of the State of Oregon find that gun violence in Oregon and the United States, resulting in horrific deaths and devastating injuries due to mass shootings and other homicides, is unacceptable at any level; and Whereas the firearms referred to as “semiautomatic assault firearms” are designed with features to allow rapid spray firing or the quick and efficient killing of humans, and the unregulated availability of semiautomatic assault firearms used in such mass shootings and other homicides in Oregon, and throughout the United States, poses a grave and immediate risk to the health, safety and well-being of the citizens of this State, and in particular our children; and Whereas firearms have evolved from muskets to semiautomatic assault firearms, including rifles, shotguns and pistols with enhanced features and with the ability to kill so many in such an increasingly short period of time, unleashing death and unspeakable pain in places that should be safe: our homes, schools, places of worship, shopping malls, communities; and Whereas a failure to resolve long unrest and inequitable treatment of individuals based on race, gender, religion and other distinguishing characteristics and failure to develop legislative tools to remove the ability of those with criminal intent or predisposition to commit violence from acquiring such instruments of carnage and never-ending sadness; It is therefore morally incumbent upon the citizens of Oregon to take immediate action, which we do by this initiative, to reduce the availability of these assault firearms, and thus reduce their ability to cause death and loss in places that should remain safe; Now, therefore, BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF OREGON: SECTION 1.

  • FN P90 Fact Sheet
    SALW Guide Global distribution and visual identification FN P90 Fact sheet https://salw-guide.bicc.de FN P90 SALW Guide FN P90 A personal defense weapon (often abbreviated PDW) is a compact semi- automatic or fully-automatic firearm similar in most respects to a submachine gun, but firing an (often proprietary) armor-piercing round, giving a PDW better range, accuracy and armor-penetrating capability than submachine guns, which fire pistol-caliber cartridges.The P90 was designed to have a length no greater than a man's shoulder width, in order to be easily carried and maneuvered in tight spaces, such as the inside of an armored vehicle. To achieve this, the weapon's design utilizes the unconventional bullpup configuration, in which the action and magazine are located behind the trigger and alongside the shooter's face, so that there is no wasted space in the stock. The P90's dimensions are also minimized by its unique horizontally mounted feeding system, wherein the box magazine sits parallel to the barrel on top of the weapon's frame. Overall, the weapon has an extremely compact profile.

It became the standard-issue rifle for the U.S. military in 1959 replacing the M1 Garand rifle in the U.S. Army by 1958 and the U.S. Marine Corps by 1965 until being replaced by the M16 rifle beginning in 1968. The M14 was used by U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps for basic and advanced individual training (AIT) from the mid-1960s to the early 1970s. The M14 was developed from a long line of experimental weapons based upon the M1 Garand rifle. Although the M1 was among the most advanced infantry rifles of the late 1930s, it was not an ideal weapon. Modifications were already beginning to be made to the basic M1 rifle's design during the last months of World War II. Changes included adding fully automatic firing capability and replacing the eight-round en bloc clips with a detachable box magazine holding 20 rounds. Winchester, Remington, and Springfield Armory's own John Garand offered different conversions. Garand's design, the T20, was the most popular, and T20 prototypes served as the basis for a number of Springfield test rifles from 1945 through the early 1950s Production contracts Initial production contracts for the M14 were awarded to the Springfield Armory, Winchester, and Harrington & Richardson. Thompson-Ramo-Wooldridge Inc. (TRW) would later be awarded a production contract for the rifle as well.
