LAHAB Light Ammunition (LLA) is the national ammunition manufacturer of the United Arab Emirates, part of the EDGE Group that we better know through the Caracal firearms brand. A manufacturer up to now solely focused on the military market, LLA is now eyeing the commercial market.

Caracal is a 15 years old firearms manufacturing company based in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi. While the name is now known worldwide, the company still faces some misconceptions about its true capabilities. TFB got the chance to enjoy a tour of the facilities of Caracal, and we believe our readers will appreciate it as well.

The Kraken from Cadex Defense is their answer to the multi-caliber rifle market.  Designed using their patented barrel change system, this rifle claims to have the lowest point of impact shift between takedown and assembly.  Available in 9 long and short action calibers, I was keen to try out this multi-caliber beast.  I asked Cadex if they had a Kraken I could review, and here’s what they sent over.

Last month, at DSEI 2019 in London, I had the chance to take a look at some of Nord Arms’ rifles ranging from their NA-9, 9x19mm pistol calibre carbine right up to their new .338 Lapua Magnum marksman’s rifle.

Christensen Arms recently sent out an e-mail to all of their customers that lays out some pretty interesting information. All of us may be aware that Christensen Arms sells custom shop quality rifles in preferred long-range calibers for discerning hunters and target shooters. If you had to guess their Top 5 Most Popular calibers though, do you think you could do it?…

Christensen Arms, like many manufacturers, will be attacking the precision or long-range shooting market in 2018. Modular and tactical-style stocks are all the rave currently and a company known for pushing the envelope with carbon fiber barrels is not going to miss out on the fun! They have already thrown their hat into the arena with their Modern Precision Rifle and now they are looking to expand upon that.

While reloading and hand-tailoring ammunition will give you the most accuracy for a specific rifle you own not everyone has the time, means or knowledge to do that. So Hornady, with their Precision Hunter line of ammo, have looked to fill that void of highly accurate ammo already boxed on the shelf for consumers.

Albert Arms is a firearms manufacturer located in Schweinfurt, Germany. They produce AR-style rifles chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum and .338 Lapua Magnum called ALR-300 and ALR-338 respectively.
