This "Gun Of The Week" episode from American Rifleman features the Beretta BRX1, a straight-pull bolt-action rifle. The video highlights its performance on the range, noting that straight-pull actions are less common for American sport shooters compared to older military models. The review details the BRX1's specifications, including its aluminum receiver, 20-inch cold-hammer-forged barrel, five-round detachable magazine, and adjustable green polymer stock. It's chambered in .308 Win. and features a Picatinny rail for optics.
This video delves into the Armalite AR-17, a unique shotgun from the early 1960s. The description highlights Armalite's innovative use of aluminum in firearms, stemming from their aircraft manufacturing background. The AR-17, introduced in 1964, featured an almost entirely aluminum construction, making it exceptionally lightweight (5.5 lbs) but also resulting in punishing recoil for users. It employed a short recoil action with a 10-lug bolt, a 2-round capacity, and a single-round elevator system. Despite its novel design, the AR-17 was a commercial failure due to its heavy recoil, poor swing characteristics, and limited capacity, with only about 1200 units sold out of 2000 manufactured.
This video delves into the Benelli MR1, a 5.56mm tactical rifle that distinguishes itself from AR-15 and AR-18 platforms. The reviewer highlights its unique design, incorporating the gas system of the Benelli M4 Super 90 shotgun and a 3-lug rotating bolt. The MR1 is positioned for the civilian market in the US and Italy, seemingly targeting sport shooters who might otherwise gravitate towards AR-style rifles due to popular media influence. The analysis suggests Benelli's strategic approach in this segment, acknowledging Beretta's existing military rifle dominance.
