In the past we've covered a few different models from Dark Storm Industries. While they also offer standard AR-15s, I apprecaite Dark Storm's efforts to be different. This includes the Variant 1 non-NFA firearm and their 50-state legal build. To me, it seems like Dark Storm Industries is always looking for ways to celebrate freedom and help Americans be armed as best as possible.
This latest release, the MFR, to me is very appropriately named. From muzzle device to buffer tube nearly every part has been updated and upgraded from the now 60-year old original recipe. That's a fact that I think too many people overlook. Material sciences, manufacturing capabilities, and our understanding of firearms have advanced greatly since the 1960s, so why not modernize a great platform?
Take a look at the Dark Storm Industries MFR in the tabletop video below. Weather and work schedule has had me unable to get to the range with it yet, but I will update this post when that happens. The MFR is truly packed with features, too many to photograph all of them in this short post, see the video for clos-ups.
The Dark Storm Industries MFR is available in four color setups at launch, all using non-IR reflective Cerakote. That's why my green rifle has such a bright green on theh handguard, because at the time this was made it was the only green with those properties. The other options are black, FDE, and a very cool-looking camo. Below are the specifications for this build.
