We have received our first photos of the brand new Beretta ARX-160 A3 which has just been unveiled at DSEi in London. I have not seen a specification sheet for this rifle so I do now know what the internal changes, if any, are. We will keep you updated as we learn more.

Externally the handguard has been updated. The top row of air vent slits have been replaced with large square cut outs. The row of vents below it still has the thin slits. These larger cut outs would shave off some weight while letting more air circulate around the barrel.

The white screen shows a ARX 160 A3, the rifle below it is a A2 model.
