⁨@BallisticAviation⁩  catches up with Paul Fletcher from Fletcher Rifle Works to check out some of the latest projects they’ve been working on for 2026. The highlight is a massive 3D printed .50 caliber can that pushes the limits of what’s possible with additive manufacturing. Paul also walks Luke through a new line of mounts that make Fletcher’s suppressors compatible with a wide range of popular attachment systems, plus a refined model that updates their current lineup of 3D printed suppressors, with a fully laser-welded suppressor.

Peter from Midwest Industries speaks with ⁨@BallisticAviation about the new Bounty Hunter revolver stock/brace system — easily one of the wildest revolver accessories we’ve seen in years. This non-destructive setup lets shooters turn their favorite wheelgun into a shoulderable platform without losing that old-school six-shooter charm. In this interview, Luke and Peter break down the design inspiration, fitment options, and what makes the Bounty Hunter a perfect blend of cowboy-inspired utility and modern engineering. These Stocks/Braces will retail for around $300 and will be made for a wide variety of revolver frames and styles.

The Nocpix Mate Ultra S60R is the flagship model in the company's new Mate series of thermal clip-on attachments, positioned as a high-end option for hunters seeking to convert their daytime riflescope into a thermal-capable system without permanent modifications. Released in 2025, the Mate Ultra stands out as one of the first thermal clip-ons to feature a 1280×1024 resolution sensor, combined with a large 60mm F1.0 objective lens and an integrated 1200m laser rangefinder (LRF). Let’s take a closer look at its performance.

During a recent trip to Bi-Mart — a Pacific Northwest chain that stocks ammo among a smattering of other things— I spotted something unusual on the ammo shelf. Sitting between boxes of CCI Standard Velocity and Mini-Mags was a 100-round sleeve labeled “CCI .22LR OEM” with a 40-grain bullet. I’d never seen this offering before and was instantly overcome with curiosity. So and I grabbed a sleeve to put through my standard accuracy and velocity tests. Today on The Rmifire Report, we’ll get into what this mysterious “OEM” load might be, how it performs, and what you can expect if you come across this rare CCI .22LR variant. Hint: You probably won’t unless…

It’s no small feat designing a new firearm and it's arguably even more complicated recreating one. It has to look right, it has to feel right and you’re working within the confines of expectation. This year at SHOT Show Murdoch & Co. launched one of the most ambitious clone projects I’ve ever seen. Murdoch & Co. describe their EM-85 as an improved, remanufactured semi-auto SA80. The name EM-85, is a nod back to another classic British bullpup rifle, the EM-2.

EOtech’s slate of new releases for 2026 was very full. They had new scopes, IR lasers, silencers, and sights all on display. Let’s take a tour through the new offerings.

The Monday of SHOT Show week is Range Day, when we get to sample new products in a live fire setting. This year, Lyman Products had a new family of suppressors available. The Sonicore series has several models, all at very competitive price points.

Palmetto State Armory’s booth at SHOT Show is always a busy place, thanks in part to the volume of new and interesting guns they have on display each year. 2026 was no exception to that trend. Let’s go through some of the new things in the booth this year.

US Armament Manufacturing had several interesting items on display at SHOT Show 2026. These included DeLisle intergrally-suppressed carbines, Bramit Mosin silencers, and L27 Mauser silencers. If you are a historical silencer lover, this one is for you!

Precision Armament had its new TiTrex suppressors on display at SHOT Show 2025. This lightweight suppressor has a single-piece printed core, but still offers upgrade potential thanks to the Xband serialized component. There are some other interesting design features hidden inside, too.

Bushmaster has a new bolt-action rifle joining its lineup. The BA-30 straight-pull is a .308 based on a large frame AR system. It is also reversible for right or left-handed users.

Kaliber Tech’s unique gas-operated KT10 Longbow was on display at SHOT Show 2026. This gas gun is compatible with hot rod cartridges like the .300 WSM and 6.5 PRC. Keep reading for all the details.

Surefire has some new illumination products on display at SHOT Show 2026. We also got our first look at the SOCOM RC4 suppressor. Let's take a tour through the new stuff.

PSA is reviving the AAC brand’s MPW line of firearms, with a twist. There will be both homages to the original rifles and some new takes on the idea. Keep reading for all the details.

Active Safety Designs, aka AS Designs, had several new Arc-fire forced reset triggers on display at SHOT Show 2026. The quirks of US gun laws mean that this is not a machine gun conversion, though in practice it seems a lot like one. Let’s check it out.

We’ve all seen break-action shotguns and pump-action shotguns, but have you ever seen a break-action pump shotgun? Me neither, until SHOT Show 2026. Rock Island Armory’s Pak-Out folding 12-gauge may claim the title as the most unique new gun on the show floor this year.

Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday, brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new Victra 20-gauge shotgun suppressor. SHOT Show has come to an end, and it is time to debrief from a very busy week. It's a great time to be in the suppressor space with all of the action we are seeing.

Griffin Armament is continuing to invest in manufacturing capabilities and cutting-edge technology. Not only are they now using additive manufacturing to build silencers, but they developed a new alloy that is ideal for that application. Keep reading for all the details.

BOE Suppression, the silencer branch of DuraMag, had the new IncoLite 9 series of silencers on display at SHOT Show 2026. Lightweight and Inconel usually don’t go in the same sentence, but these little cans manage to do both. Let’s take a look at the specs and features.

The world of precision rimfire is wide and wonderful. You can buy a budget-friendly Savage and make the Richie Riches of the scene cry … or you can buy something pricey and enjoy shooting something that’s actually purpose-built for this competition scene, while the poors can only envy you. The new Anschutz 1727 APR definitely fits into that second category, and the Competition variant (pictured here at their SHOT booth) even more-so.

The two newest products from Jacob Grey Firearms, seen at SHOT Show 2026, were the Hex Pro 9mm pistol and the Recoil Reaper hydraulic drop-in buffer for 1911-pattern pistols. The Hex Pro pistol features Armored Billet CNC-machined and DLC-coated internal and external components, including the ambidextrous safety, ejector, disconnector, magazine release, grip screws, hammer, and sear. The patented Recoil Reaper buffer is designed in collaboration with Kyntech and is compatible with double-stack or single-stack Commander-length 1911s.
