Red Rock Arms BW-5

     Notes: Red Rock Arms (formerly known as Bobcat Weapons; in 2008, a heavy equipment manufacturer asserted their trademark to the name “Bobcat”) was known for the licensed manufacture of semiautomatic Heckler & Koch clones, most notably the HK-94.  One of their latest ventures is a semiautomatic carbine variant of the MP-5 submachinegun (in particular, the FBI HRT version of the MP-5), known as the BW-5.  The BW-5 is similar in appearance to the MP-5, and operate in a similar manner (except for automatic fire functions; however, to meet US legal requirements, they have 16.5-inch barrels instead of the standard barrel of an MP-5.  The barrels further have a 1:10 twist and the weapon is equipped with a fluted chamber for more positive extraction.  Buttstocks and handguards are synthetic; made from fiberglass-filled Nylon, in OD green, black, desert tan, or camouflage patterns.  The BW-5 was originally built to accept a 10-round magazine to keep it within post-ban legal limits, but with the sunset of the Assault Weapons Ban, 20 and 30-round magazines could be had for the BW-5, and newer versions could accept MP-5 magazines.  Two versions of the BW-5 exist: the BW-5 Standard Sporting Rifle, which is a straightforward carbine adaptation of the MP-5, and the BW-5 FS Sporting Rifle, which has a shorter barrel, but is equipped with a dummy silencer (for looks only; it does not reduce noise at all, and is legally considered an extension of the barrel).  The BW-5 FS also has ambidextrous magazine release controls.

     In 2008, Red Rock Arms announced the discontinuation of all versions of the BW-5; their source for parts had gone out of business.  Red Rock Arms continued to sell the BW-5 until late in 2009, when they ran out of existing supplies of parts, but by early November of 2009, the BW-5 was no longer for sale by Red Rock Arms.

     Twilight 2000 Notes: The versions of the BW-5 for sale in the Twilight 2000 timeline are essentially equivalent to post-Ban versions of the BW-5, able to use any sort of MP-5 magazine.  The company would still be called Bobcat Weapons in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

Red Rock Arms ATR-1

     Notes: The ATR-1 is another version of the FN-FAL, but it is chambered for 5.56mm NATO instead of 7.62mm NATO. (It is not based on the FNC.)  Much of the parts are interchangeable with a metric-measurement FN-FAL, with some of the parts inside the receiver, the barrel, bolt group and bolt hold-open parts, and the magazine release being designed for use on the ATR-1 – and some of those parts are taken from or modified from the FNC and AR-15.  The ATR-1 is also designed to be highly customizable; virtually any sort of aftermarket accessory imaginable can be put onto an ATR-1.

     A semiautomatic-only weapon, the ATR-1 uses an adjustable gas system like that of the FAL. (Though it was not an intentional part of the design, the gas system can be adjusted to a point that allows it to function with a silencer fitted to the ATR-1, even if using subsonic ammunition.) The gas system can also be adjusted to the point that the rifle will fire, but not cycle; this can be useful when training those not familiar with firearms. The ATR-1 is designed so that an auto sear will not fit into it. The ATR-1 can be fed by any magazine that will fit into an AR-15, M-16, or M-4.  The barrel is 16.25 inches long, technically making it a carbine, and it is tipped with an AR-15A2-type flash suppressor.  The stock, fore-end, and pistol grip are made from lightweight glass-filled nylon.  The primary external metal finish is in black Duracoat, though some minor parts are finished in black oxide.

     Twilight 2000 Notes: The ATR-1 is not available in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

Remington 8

     Notes: Later known as the Model 8A, the Model 8 was the first centerfire semiautomatic rifle to be built in North America.  It was designed by John Browning, and while it is not one of his more elegant designs, it does function well.  The Model 8 is recoil-operated, with the recoil spring surrounding the barrel and inside a steel metal tube jacket surrounding the barrel.  When fired, the barrel, bolt, and bolt carrier assembly recoil as a unit.  The stock normally incorporates a straight wrist, but half pistol grips could be ordered upon request.  The standard rifle was chambered only for proprietary Remington cartridges, but the Model 81A Woodsmaster variant was also made for .300 Savage cartridges.

Remington 16

     Notes: This is an early rimfire autoloader that was not particularly successful, yet was built for about 14 years.  Only the version chambered for .22 Remington Auto was built after 1918.  The Remington 16 was a takedown rifle with a concealed hammer.  The tubular magazine is in the butt.  As with many Remington designs of the period, the Remington 16 came in Grades A-F, with the weapon becoming successively fancier and more decorated as one progressed through the grades.

Remington 24

     Notes: This is basically an FN-Browning design produced under license, with few changes.  Though the license was granted in 1917, production was delayed until 1922, due to Remington’s obligations to the US government during World War 1.  (By this time, Remington decided to change the name to the Model 24A.)  Production continued until 1935, with about 80,000 being built.

     Operation of the Model 24 was by a rather simple blowback mechanism.  The Model 24 was fed by a tubular magazine in the stock of the rifle; loading was done through a loading gate in right side of the stock just behind the pistol grip wrist.  Case ejection was downward in front of the trigger guard.  Versions chambered for .22 Long Rifle used 21-inch barrels; those chambered for .22 Short had 19-inch barrels.

     From 1935-1941, and later from 1945-1951, Remington brought back the Model 24 in the form of the Model 241A Speedmaster.  The Model 241A used a 24-inch barrel in both chamberings, and was designed with a strengthened receiver and mechanism to handle more powerful loads.  The Model 241A was also a “takedown gun;” it was designed to be easily disassembled into its major components for transport or storage.

Remington 522 Viper

     Notes: This is another synthetic-stocked rimfire rifle, this one much newer than the Nylon 66 (1993).  The Viper is made of matte black composite materials.  It has a bolt hold-open device after the magazine is empty, and a box magazine instead of a tube.  The Viper has a William’s-type rear sight which is extremely adjustable.  The Viper has a rail on top for the attachment of telescopic sights.

     Notes: Unlike most semiautomatic rimfire rifles, the Remington 550 can chamber .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle ammunition interchangeably – even to the point of mixing them in the magazine.  This is done with a floating chamber known as a “Power Piston.”

Remington 552 Speedmaster

     Notes: The Speedmaster is a semiautomatic rimfire rifle using inertia locking recoil operation to actuate the mechanism.  The Speedmaster was introduced as the Model 552A Speedmaster in 1959, and sold as such until 1988, when the “A” was dropped.  The stock and fore-end is of walnut, and it is fed by a tubular magazine.  In 1966, a variant of this weapon known as the Model 552 BDL Speedmaster was introduced; this is a luxury version with a shorter barrel and lesser weight, but with elaborate metalwork.  The tubular magazine can handle .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle rounds, even interchangeably.

Remington 597

     This family of rifles was introduced in 1997.  They are semiautomatic rifles with plastic or wood stocks (depending upon the model).  The base Model 597 has a dark gray plastic stock and is chambered in .22 Long Rifle, the Model 597 Magnum has a black plastic stock and is chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, the Model 597 LS has a laminated wood stock and is chambered for .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, and the Model 597 LSS has a laminated wood stock and a stainless steel barrel and receiver, and is chambered for .22 Long Rifle.  All these versions have internal parts coated with a thin layer of Teflon for smooth operation.  They use an improved version of the Nylon 66’s trigger.  They use rear leaf sights which are adjustable for height and drift, and the receiver is also drilled and tapped for a telescopic sight.  They are magazine-fed.

     Other variants of the Model 597 are the Model 597 SS, introduced in 1998; it has the stainless steel receiver and barrel of the Model 597 LSS, but the synthetic stock of the Model 597.  It is identical for game purposes to the Model 597.  The Model 597 Custom Target and Custom Target Magnum are match-barreled versions of the standard models, with wooden stocks, match triggers, and no iron sights.  The Model 597 Stainless Sporter has a stainless steel barrel, aluminum alloy receiver and a wooden stock.  The Model 597 HB and HB Magnum have heavy blued-steel barrels, wooden stocks, and no iron sights.  In 2003, a version of the Model 597 Magnum appeared chambered in .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire, and this version may be had with a synthetic or wooden stock.

Remington 740A Woodsmaster

     Notes: This rifle was developed to replace the Model 81 in production.  It was externally similar to the pump-action Model 760.  It had a straight-comb butt and the rear sight was quite far forward – almost a quarter of the way down the barrel.  The Remington 740A was chambered for one of three calibers.  The Remington 742A was almost identical, except for the expanded range of cartridges, but most of the changes were cosmetic.  The Model 742 Carbine had only an 18.5” barrel, but was built in only two calibers.  Other versions (the 740ADL, 740BDL. 742ADL, 742BDL, 742D Peerless, and 742F Premier) were primarily deluxe rifles.

     In 2005, Remington introduced the Model 750.  This is an update of the Model 742A, including a new stock with a different shape.  Users of the Model 742A said that while the high Monte Carlo comb of that rifle was perfect for using iron sights, it was really the wrong shape for use with a scope.  The Model 750’s stock uses a lower comb, and in addition has a thick R3 rubber recoil pad.  The pistol grip wrist and fore-end are checkered.  The fore-end is also reshaped, being tapered in the direction of the muzzle of the barrel.  The fore-end also has a finger swell which runs almost all the way back to the receiver.  The walnut of the stock and fore-end are of select grade and dark-stained with a polyurethane finish.  Inside, the gas orifice holes have been moved rearward slightly, allowing the bolt to move more efficiently, improving feed reliability, and fouling the system less.

     Twilight 2000 Notes: The Model 750 Rifle and Carbine are not available in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

Remington 1100 SFRCL Deer Gun

     Notes: This version of the Remington 1100 shotgun, introduced in 1997, is nominally also a shotgun, but it has a fully rifled barrel and is designed for firing only slugs or Saboted slugs, and firing shot through it will damage that rifling and should not be done.  “SFRCL” stands for “Synthetic Fully-Rifled CantiLever;” the “Synthetic” part refers to its reinforced plastic stock, the “Fully-Rifled” part refers to its barrel, and the “Cantilever” part refers to its special sight base which accepts most civilian sights and telescopic sights.  Another version of the Model 1100 SFRCL, the Model 1100 LT-20 FRRS (Fully-Rifled Rifle-Sighted) is designed for 20 gauge and has a rear adjustable leaf sight; it is not drilled and tapped for a scope, nor does it have the special sight base of the SFRCL.

Remington Four

     Notes: Essentially a modernized Model 740 series, the Model Four was introduced in 1981.  The Model Four has a hardwood stock with a high-gloss (and weatherproof) polyurethane finish, shaped in the Monte Carlo style with a pistol grip wrist and checkering on the grip and fore-end.  An interesting feature is a cartridge case cap on the bottom of the casing of the rifle; this cap is the same as the chambering of the rifle.  It was produced in several variants other than the standard rifle, including the Peerless, with an engraved receiver and premium woods for the stock, and the Premier, with gold-inlaid engraving.  (These two are identical to the standard model for game purposes.)

     The Model Four was built until 1987 and sold until 1989, but it was replaced by the Model 7400.  The first of this line was the Model 74, which was basically an inexpensive version of the Remington 7400.  It was made only from 1985-1987, and only in one chambering (.30-06 Springfield).  The standard version of the Model 7400 itself is identical to the Model Four for game purposes.  Several special editions of the Model 7400 were built, including the Model 7400 ADF (American Deer Foundation), in .30-06 only and with part of the proceeds from the sales going to that foundation.  The Model 7400 was brought out in .35 Whelan, a popular cartridge in Europe at that time (1992), specifically for sales to that continent; it was discontinued in 1997.  The Model 7400 Jubilee came out in 1996, to celebrate Remington’s 180th anniversary; this version has a receiver with engravings inlaid with gold.  The Model 7400 Synthetic was introduced in 1998; this version has a high-impact plastic/fiberglass stock and reduced weight, but is otherwise identical to the standard version.  A carbine version of the Model 7400 Synthetic with an 18.5-inch barrel was also available at the same time, but chambered only for .30-06 Springfield.

     Twilight 2000 Notes: The Model 7400 Jubilee, Model 7400 Synthetic, and Model 7400 Synthetic Carbine do not exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

Remington Nylon 66

     Notes: This was a “futuristic” rifle at the time it was introduced (1959); its stock was made of injection-molded Zytel instead of wood.  They could be made in almost any color (though the original Nylons were made in “Mohawk brown” wood grain finish), and color variants include Apache black, Seneca green (very garish), and some others.  All have molded checkering in the right places.  The tubular magazine is in the butt.

Remington R-15 VTR

     Notes: This AR-15-type rifle is designed primarily for hunting light game and varmints, though the later Hunter variants are designed for heavier game.  Produced in partnership with Bushmaster, the R-15 VTR uses a bull-profile ChroMoly barrel with button rifling, free-floating, and fluting to decrease weight.  Rifle versions, including the Hunter, use 22-inch barrels in .30 Remington AR and an 18-inch barrel in .450 Bushmaster, the Carbine versions use 18-inch barrels, and the SS Varmint version uses a 22-inch barrel. The finish is an Advantage Max-1 HD camouflage pattern, with the exception of the Hunter version, which has a Realtree AP HD pattern.  The R-15 VTR can be had with several barrel lengths, stock options, and pistol grip options, and as the rifle is of modular construction these options can be mixed and matched to suit the buyer.  The trigger module is a single-stage trigger with a very clean and crisp pull, conducive to tight shot groups.  The receiver is topped with a Weaver rail, and the aluminum handguards are round and ventilated.  Collapsible stock versions come with an M-4-type stock, but with six positions.  The Byron South Edition is a very fancy version of the R-15 VTR Predator Carbine in 5.56mm; for game purposes, they are identical. 

     Twilight 2000 Notes: The R-15 VTR is not available in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

Rhineland Arms R-22/R-17

     Notes: The R-22 is a .22 Long Rifle autoloading rifle which is an amalgamation of different weapons, along with original components and improvements.  The bolt of the R-22 is a slightly-modified Ruger 10/22, and it can feed from standard Ruger 10/22 magazines in addition to its own proprietary magazines.  The trigger is a standard AR-15 trigger, and the R-22 is able to accept any number of aftermarket AR-15-compatible trigger assemblies.  The selector switch is also that of an AR-15.  The barrel is free-floating and button-rifled, and headspace is adjusted using a Savage-type locking nut system.  The barrel also comes in standard barrel and bull-barrel versions.  The stock is scaled down from a standard Heckler & Koch MP-5 stock.  The receiver is topped with a MIL-STD-1913 rail, and the handguard is a scaled-down FAL handguard, modified to be flat on the bottom.  The bottom of the handguard is drilled and tapped for a variety of mounts or for mounting a bipod.  No iron sights are provided.

Robinson Arms Vepr K

     Notes:  This may be described as an “American Vepr,” an American-made version of the Vepr sporting rifle originally built by Kalashnikov.  Robinson Arms, upon acquiring their imported Vepr and Vepr 2 rifles, discovered they could not (in good conscience) reproduce the poor quality of those rifles and then offer them to the Western public under their name.  They therefore set about to reproduce the design, using better materials and better quality standards, and completely replacing the sloppy wooden stocks with synthetic ones.  They also designed reduced-capacity magazines to comply with US arms regulations.  In addition, models sold in the US do not have muzzle brakes, but those for foreign markets do.

Rock River Arms A4-Varmint

     Notes: This is an AR-15 variant designed for, as the name suggests, varmint hunting.  Highly accurate for a semiautomatic varminter, the A4-Varmint is equipped with heavy match-grade barrels of 16-24 inches.  The A4-Varmint is not equipped with iron sights, but does have a MIL-STD-1913 rail for the mounting of virtually any sort of sight or optic.  The A4-Varmint also comes with an EOP (Elevated Optical Platform) to attach to the rail in order to mount large scopes properly.  It has the standard AR-15-style fixed synthetic stock and a solid hard rubber grip.  The weapon is chambered, and the twist of the rifling is designed, so that the A4-Varmint can fire .223 Remington civilian rounds and military 5.56mm NATO rounds with equal accuracy and reliability.  (There is no distinction between the two rounds in game terms, but in real life, there is a difference between the two.)  The handguard is an aluminum tube which is fluted to decrease weight and knurled to give a better gripping surface.  The trigger is of a National Match two-stage pattern. 

     The A4 Predator Pursuit is an accurized version of the A4 Varmint.  It uses a 20-inch heavy match-quality Wilson barrel which is free-floating, made from stainless steel, and air-gauged to help ensure that there are no imperfections; it uses a target crown at the muzzle.  The chamber is a Wylde Chamber; this is a chamber designed to accommodate both civilian and military ammunition of several different loads and bullet weights, and also reduces the chance of misfeeds.  The receiver is topped with a Weaver rail, and the gas block also has a very short length of Weaver rail.  The trigger group is a two-stage match-quality group.  The pistol grip is a Hogue Rubber grip instead of a standard AR-15-type grip.  The standard stock is an AR-15A2-type stock, but options include a skeletonized stock and a Magpul PRS stock.  Other options include ambidextrous controls, an enlarged charging handle latch, and an EOP upper receiver.
