Black Collar Arms SBD Line

Black Collar Arms announced a brand-new product line they have been developing, the SBDs. The SBDs are a line of products that are all integrally suppressed firearms. For this project, Black Collar Arms partnered with AB Suppressors. The product line was a culmination of extensive testing and development for both companies.

Black Collar Arms announced their new product line called the SBD line. These integrally suppressed firearms include options of a rifle, a modular integral pistol, and a modular SBR.

The products of the SBD line are reported to be compact, lightweight and accurate, and highly capable. According to Black Collar Arms, they are some of the quietest centerfire rifle caliber products ever made. The SBD products include options for the rifle, modular integral pistol, and modular SBR.

Rifle

The rifle has a standard 16.25” barrel with a permanently installed all-titanium integral suppressor, thus making it a one-NFA stamp firearm. For the rifle, there are two different builds to choose from. The first is the Pork Sword Chassis with a folding stock and an SD handguard. This option weighs in at under 7 lbs. The other option for the rifle is the Grayboe Ridgeback stock with a Grayboe DBM and weighs just under 8.5 lbs.

The Rifle is said to be an insanely quiet package with the suppressor being a part of the legal barrel length. When the stock option is folded, the package is only 27” long. The rifle comes in caliber choices of 300 Blackout, 308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, or 375 Raptor.

Modular Integral Pistol

The Modular Integral Pistol is only available in 300 Blackout with a 6.5” 1:5 twist barrel from X- Caliber. This version also comes in the Pork Sword Chassis. The rear is made to accept a Picatinny rail compatible pistol brace, if that’s your thing.

The AB Suppressor is a Raptor 7.62 with a 5” Reflex mount that is 5/8×24 flush mounted to the barrel and is removable, meaning you can swap it around on your other compatible firearms. You can choose between 6 or 8 baffles for the suppressor. This gun also is a one-stamp gun (for the suppressor), unless you go for the SBR option (that requires a Form 1). The total package weighs just around 5 lbs.

The Black Collar Arms SBD Modular Integral Pistol is only available in 300 Blackout with a 6.5” barrel and removable suppressor.

Modular SBR

The Modular SBR is similar to the pistol version with the 6.5” barrel chambered in 300 Blackout. It comes from the factory with the SBR folding stock option installed. This version is a two-stamp firearm (one for the SBR and one for the suppressor).

SBD Modular SBR
The Black Collar Arms SBD Modular SBR also only comes in 300 Blackout with a 6.5” barrel. This comes with the folding stock installed.

All versions of the SBD line can be custom ordered on the Black Collar Arms’ Pork Sword Custom actions and come with match grade barrels. The Black Collar Arms SBD line has an MSRP starting at $3,250.

SilencerCo Announces Harvester Evo Suppressor

SilencerCo keeps rolling out new products. Two months ago they released the Hybrid 46M, a modular big-bore suppressor that boats compatibility with a truly impressive number of cartridges across multiple platforms. Just a couple of weeks ago, they announced the SCO15 Upper Receiver, for those who want a SilencerCo branded AR-15. And just today, they’ve announced the new Harvester EVO.

The folks at SilencerCo say this one picks up where the Harvester 300 left off, saying, “It is the next generation of a dedicated precision and hunting suppressor and the successor to the firearm industry’s most popular and widely recognized hunting suppressor.”

Using feedback from shooters, SilencerCo designed the Harvester Evo to be shorter, lighter, tubeless, and available at a much more affordable price point.

Made of 17-4 heat-treated stainless steel, Inconel, and Cobalt 7, they’re saying the Evo is capable of withstanding some of the most demanding conditions a hunter or precision shooter could expose it to. It’s rated for commonly used centerfire rifle calibers, including .223 REM, 300BLK, .243 WIN, .260 REM, .308 WIN, 6.5 Creedmoor, etc. up to and including .300 WIN.

At only 6.24 inches long with a weight of 10.8 ounces, SilencerCo says the Harvester Evo is easily maneuverable and ideally suited for long treks, where every inch and every ounce matters

The new suppressor ships with both a Bravo 1/2×28 and Bravo 5/8×24 Direct Thread, to ensure that the end user can pair it with his/her favorite precision or hunting rifle right out of the box. Additionally, it is compatible with all SilencerCo Bravo accessories, including the brave ASR Mount, Bravo Direct Thread Mounts and all ASR Muzzle Brakes and Flashhiders.

Pork Sword with Harvester Evo.
The SilencerCo Harvester Evo is intended as a precision rifle and/or hunting rifle suppressor and is Semi-Auto Rated. Here, it’s on a Pork Sword.

As stated in today’s official press release:

SilencerCo is excited to introduce the Harvester EVO, a lightweight suppressor designed for hunters and precision shooters. This product is the successor to SilencerCo’s Harvester 300, enhanced to include a few key features and currently available at SilencerCo Retailers. 

Accommodating calibers ranging from .223 REM to .300 WIN, the Harvester EVO is the ideal suppressor for .30 caliber bolt-guns and rifles. Consumer feedback on the previous Harvester models led SilencerCo engineers to make the EVO shorter, lighter, more affordable and ready to go right out of the box. 

“The most impressive phenomenon of the Harvester EVO is it’s lightweight nature despite being created from rugged, hard-use materials,” said SilencerCo Senior Product Development Specialist, Dewie Vieira. “Weighing just 10.8 ounces, it is constructed of 17-4 heat treated stainless steel, Inconel and cobalt 6 with a tubeless design. This gives the EVO an edge over other hunting suppressors.”

Not only is the Harvester EVO less likely to get caught on bushes and brush in outdoor environments, but it is capable of withstanding the most extreme conditions typically encountered by hunters and precision shooters.

Springfield Armory SAINT Edge ATC

Springfield Armory announced their new rifle, the SAINT Edge ATC chambered in .223 Wylde. ATC on the rifle stands for “Accurized Tactical Chassis,” and the rifle is touted as extremely accurate. So much so that it is guaranteed by Springfield for sub-MOA accuracy when shot with match-grade ammo by a skilled shooter.

The SAINT Edge ATC rifle has an 18” Ballistic Advantage coated barrel chambered in .223 Wylde. This allows for shooting both .223 and 5.56 NATO ammunition

The AR-style rifle has a patented monolith chassis that has a one-piece aluminum lower. The new design allows the barrel to drop into the lower and free float along with the barrel nut and gas system. The importance of this design change is that those components will not come in contact with the lower chassis and will be free from issues regarding external pressure when shooting from a supported position. Additionally, the ATC has a tensioning system that allows adjustment to reduce any play within the lower chassis and upper receiver.

Shooting the Springfield SAINT Edge ATC rifle
The SAINT Edge ATC rile is touted as extremely accurate by Springfield Armory. So much so they have a guaranteed sub-MOA accuracy.

The SAINT Edge ATC comes standard with a B5 Systems Enhanced SOPMOD collapsible stock and a match trigger. Along with the B5 stock, it has a B5 Type 23 P-Grip and a 20-round MagPul PMAG. The rifle comes in a black finish, but there is an Elite model that comes in Coyote Brown. The Elite variant comes with the Cerakote Coyote Brown finish with a LaRue 2-Stage trigger and a B5 Systems Precision stock. The Elite Edition also comes standard with the B5 Type grip and MagPul magazines.

Both models of the ATC have a Ballistic Advantage 18” Melonite coated barrel with a 1:7 twist rate adding to the reported increase in accuracy. The chambering of the barrel allows for shooting both .223 as well as 5.56 NATO rounds, without loss of precision.

Springfield SAINT Edge ATC barrel
With a patented lower chassis that is a one-piece aluminum lower that allows for the barrel to be installed and float completely free of the handguard. This alleviates any pressure the barrel could incur when shot from a supported position.

“The SAINT Edge ATC, in both standard and Elite versions, gives precision rifle shooters a great new option that maximizes the performance of the AR rifle,” says Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory. “With guaranteed sub-MOA performance, the ATC is must-have addition to the collection of every serious precision shooter.”

Rounding out the rifle’s look is a full-length top Picatinny rail and a shorter rail at the 6 o’clock position for under mounting accessories (such as a bipod). The lower chassis also has a flared magwell. Overall, it looks like a pretty versatile rifle addition from Springfield.

Elite Edition
The ATC also has an Elite edition. The Elite is a Cerakoted Coyote Brown rifle with a LaRue 2 stage trigger and upgraded stock.

Specifications

  • Name: SAINT Edge ATC/SAINT Edge ATC Elite
  • Caliber: .223 Wylde
  • Color: Black/Cerakote Coyote Brown
  • Barrel: 18” Ballistic Advantage 1:7 twist
  • Handguard: Integral to ATC Chassis, M-Lok
  • Trigger: Flat Modular Match/LaRue MBT Flat 2 Stage

CZ 457 Varmint Precision Chassis MTR

CZ USA announced the latest addition to their Varmint family — the CZ 457 Varmint Precision Chassis MTR. True to CZ style, they are touting this new rifle with better precision and accuracy with solid dynamics aimed to please.

 

The new CZ USA Varmint Precision Chassis MTR is the newest precision rifle that is chambered in .22lr complete with a one-piece aluminum chassis. The cold-forged matched chamber and barrel are held to the tightest MTR tolerance. The rifle has a 16” cold-forged hammer that is threaded in 1/2×28 to support use with a suppressor.

The new Chassis MTR has a 16” cold hammer-forged barrel and matched chamber. The matched chamber is held to the highest tolerances in the system.

The short barrel also plays into less harmonics in the system and less barrel travel for the round helping it to be more accurate than previous versions. Not only did they tweak the harmonics, but they also took almost an inch out of the action to help reduce the overall weight of the system. These changes lend to less weight moving, with lowered vibrations and overall motion. 

The MTR has all the features of the other 457 rifles, most notably being the American push to fire safety. They removed the old release and now have a bolt release button instead of the old lever. The positive-feel safety allows you to cycle the bolt with the safety on. All this helps out when dialing in the trigger which is fully adjustable including weight, creep, and over-travel.

CZ 457 Varmint Precision Chassis MTR trigger
The Varmint Precision Chassis MTR has a fully adjustable trigger. It is fully adjustable for weight, creep, and over-travel allowing you to completely dial it in to your needs.

Rounding out the visuals of the rifle, the chassis is OD Green with an orange accent on the trigger guard, harkening back to the Orange CZ pistol style. The trigger guard also allows for an AR-style grip to be mounted for customizing the grip. The stock is a Luth AR adjustable stock that has full length-of-pull and comb height which is great for introducing children into shooting. The comb also lends to be able to use other rails on the system.

SPECIFICATIONS Round-up

  • Purpose: Competition
  • Chambered: .22lr
  • Twist Rate: 1:16 in.
  • Detachable Magazine
  • Stock: Aluminum Chassis
  • Sights: No sights, integral 11mm Dovetail
  • Barrel: Heavy Cold Hammer Forged
  • Barrel Length: 16 in.
  • Weight: 7 lbs.
  • Trigger Mech: Fully adjustable (weight, creep, and over-travel)
  • Safety: Two Position, Push-to-Fire
CZ 457 Varmint Precision Chassis MTR safety
The CZ USA Varmint Precision Chassis MTR was updated with the American-style push to fire safety. According to CZ, they have been asked by youth shooting groups for this change for years.

The new CZ 457 Varmint Precision Chassis MTR is said to be the most accurate chassis and uses the 455 polymer magazine system, according to CZ USA. The rifle comes in with a MSRP of $1,115.

Raven Concealment MATBOCK IR Signature Reducing “Government Kit”

Raven Concealment Systems announced recently they want “to give [their] civilian customers a chance to get the latest gear.” With that goal in mind, the company has partnered with MATBOCK Skins to offer their holsters and magazine carriers with MATBOCK Skins.

Ok, so what are MATBOCK Skins? Good question!

Here’s how RCS describes them:

The MATBOCK Skins are an amazing product they developed which allows someone to adhere a Multicam textile material to various polymer surfaces for signature-reduction purposes (visible light, IR/night vision, and noise).  Think of them as “tactical decals” that are waterproof, oil/grease-proof, and incredibly durable — and are now custom-cut and precisely-fitted to our products.

RCS now has a special bundle available, called the “Government Kit”, that comes with a Lictor M4 rifle magazine carrier, a Lictor G9 dual pistol magazine carrier, and your choice of either a Glock 19 or a Sig P320C/M18 Perun. Each of these items is covered with a MATBOCK skin for basically a comprehensively reduced signature under visible light or infrared/night vision as well as sound signature should anything scrape the outside of the product.

More about the Government Kit

As described by Raven Concealment:

Normally, when we talk about how great our holsters are at “concealment,” we’re talking about how we designed them to hug your body very closely to make it easier to hide them under clothing.

But for some missions, “concealment” means something completely different. Sometimes, the holster needs to blend in with a uniform. Sometimes, it needs to be Near-IR Compliant so that it doesn’t show up as a glowing orb when someone is looking at you through night-vision goggles.

Raven Concealment Systems Government Kit
The “Government Kit”. [Photo courtesy of Raven Concealment Systems]

To make this sort of concealment possible, we enlisted the help of our friends at MATBOCK. MATBOCK is a Virginia-based company founded by former Navy SEALs who specialize is making ultra-light, highly-specialized gear for military special operations personnel.

The MATBOCK Skins are an amazing product they developed which allows someone to adhere a Multicam textile material to various polymer surfaces for signature-reduction purposes (visible light, IR/night vision, and noise). Think of them as “tactical decals” that are waterproof, oil/grease-proof, and incredibly durable — and are now custom-cut and precisely-fitted to our products.

Ultimately, we added MATBOCK Skins to our product line to give additional capabilities to our military and government clients, but we knew there were many of our civilian customers who would also appreciate the benefits the Skins provide.

To give our civilian customers a chance to get the latest gear, we have produced a very limited run of our most popular “government kits” featuring the MATBOCK Skins.

Each bundle includes:

  • (1x) Perun with Multicam MATBOCK Skins (your choice of Glock 19 or Sig P320C/M18)
  • (1x) Lictor G9 with Multicam MATBOCK Skins
  • (1x) Lictor M4 with Multicam MATBOCK Skins

The kit is customizable and begins with an MSRP of $285.00.
