3 Features to Look for In Your Next Rifle

By

Are you looking to add a new MK12 rifle or other firearm to your gun safe? Whether this will be your go-to range rifle or you just want to try something different, there are a few features worth looking for. From cold hammer forged barrels to free-floating handguards, these features can set a gun apart, resulting in enhanced accuracy and handling. Here are three features to consider.


Free-Floating Handguard

Handguards that touch the barrel can affect its harmonics, decreasing accuracy. Meanwhile, a free-floating barrel doesn’t touch the barrel, only connecting to the upper receiver. This preserves the barrel’s natural harmonics, improving overall accuracy. You still get space for accessories, but can enjoy a more premium shooting experience.

 Cold Hammer Forged Barrel

Cold hammer forged barrels can be more time-consuming for a manufacturer to create, but the results are worth it, and this feature is a sign of a truly premium firearm. Whether it’s a rifle or a striker fired 1911, a cold hammer forged barrel will take anything you can throw at it. It’s more durable and more accurate than a standard barrel. While they can be harder to find, it’s worth looking for a firearm with a cold hammer forged barrel if you want the best out-of-the-box accuracy possible.

Ambidextrous Controls

Ambidextrous controls are handy, especially if you are shooting with your off-hand. If you and your range buddies like to try out each other’s new rifles, ambi controls make it possible, regardless of which hand they prefer. If they want to try your new PCC 9MM, you won’t even have to think about it. It’s also a way to ensure you can always operate the controls no matter which hand you’re using. This can be especially important during a competition, where you need to hit challenging shots from odd angles, often needing to switch hands and sides to make it work.

How much thought do you put into your range targets? You likely think more about the firearm you’ll shoot or the type of ammo you’ll bring. However, range targets can have an impact on your overall experience. Your options may be limited at an indoor range, but if you’re shooting your M4A1 at an open land range, there are several target types to choose from. Here are four to consider. Run Various Drills with Different Paper Targets Paper targets are the most common target type. There is a wide variety to choose from, whether you’re looking for a classic large bullseye or a target meant to help zero a scope. Another classic is the MOA 1-inch black square in the target. With the target 100 yards away, you’re shooting at one minute-of-angle. Missing a square by an inch at 100 yards means you need to adjust 1 MOA in that direction. Most scopes have 0.25 MOA adjustments, making the math pretty easy to figure out when you need to zero the scope on your Mark 12 rifle . Whether you’re shoot...
