This video provides an in-depth look at the Roswell Rifle Works SR3M clone, a faithful reproduction of the Russian PDW chambered in 9x39mm. The manufacturer, Klay Owens, details the complex milling process for the receiver and the unique helical bolt system, highlighting the challenges of replicating this limited-production firearm. The clone aims to offer authentic performance and aesthetics, with production slated for late Q2/early Q3 2026.

This review details the Roswell Rifle Works SR-3M US, an American-made 9x39mm PDW based on the VSS and AS Val lineage. The firearm features a unique linear hammer-fired mechanism and is constructed from 4140 steel. Production is slated for Q2/Q3, with pricing for the SBR variant at $4,500 and the pistol version under $3,000. The 9x39mm caliber is highlighted for its subsonic capabilities.

This video from ARFCOM News provides an expert look at the US-made SR-3M Vikhr by Roswell Rifle Works, showcased at SHOT Show 2026. The SR-3M is presented as a compact PDW in the 9x39mm caliber, designed for high stopping power and suppressor compatibility, evolving from Russian designs like the VSS and AS Val. Roswell Rifle Works is also manufacturing their own 9x39mm ammunition, featuring a 278-grain copper-jacketed round with a velocity of approximately 985 fps.

Roswell Rifle Works is producing a US-made SR3M, a variant of the 9x39mm VSS Vintorez and AS Val. The rifle maintains original mechanical designs but uses zero Russian parts and is supported by in-house 9x39mm ammunition and proprietary magazines. Pricing is set between $3,500-$4,500 for the SBR and $2,500-$2,800 for the pistol variant, with availability targeted for late Q2 or early Q3.

This video provides a concise overview of the VSS Vintorez, a Russian integrally suppressed sniper rifle. It highlights key features such as its 9x39mm caliber, unique linear hammer mechanism, side charger, detachable wooden stock, and integral suppression system designed to render ammunition subsonic. The presentation is informative and delivered with high authority, suitable for those with existing firearms knowledge.

SHOT Show 2025 delivered impressive long gun releases, including the Beretta A300 Chisel shotgun with adjustable ergonomics and the military-contract Mossberg 590R/RM featuring a rotating safety. Notable prototypes included the suppressed BSD VSS Vintorez and the compact B&T APC300K. The AKB-23 bullpup offers SA80 aesthetics with modern modularity, while the Daewoo K2 returns to the US market, blending M16 accuracy with AK reliability.

This review of the BSD VSS Vintorez reproduction highlights significant manufacturing challenges and expresses skepticism about the project's timeline and viability. The presenter praises BSD's decision not to take pre-orders, protecting consumers from potential failure, but notes the complexity of the VSS's striker-fired system and rotating bolt. The review emphasizes the difficulties of mastering stamping, metallurgy, and quality control for such an ambitious project, drawing parallels to other long-delayed reproduction efforts.

The SR3 Vikhr is a compact 9x39mm PDW developed in the early 1990s for Russian FSB VIP protection and counter-terrorism. It features a short 6.1-inch barrel, top-folding stock, and a unique top-mounted charging handle for concealability. Mechanically similar to the AS Val/VSS Vintorez but without an integral suppressor, it uses a dual-spring system and gas-operated rotating bolt.

The OTs-14 Groza is a Russian 9x39mm modular bullpup rifle system developed in the early 1990s, based on the AKS-74U receiver. It was designed for special forces with a modular kit including an under-barrel grenade launcher. Despite its compact design, it suffered from issues like being difficult to fire left-handed and excessive gas when suppressed, limiting its production to a few hundred units.

The VSS Vintorez is Russia's first purpose-built, integrally suppressed semi-automatic sniper rifle, sharing its action with the AS Val assault rifle. Developed for elite units, it fires a subsonic 9x39mm cartridge, offering stealth but limited range and rapid overheating. The modernized VSS M features an integrated Picatinny rail and improved handguard. Its internal mechanics differ from the AK, utilizing a linear hammer and a long-stroke gas piston with a rotating bolt.

This review delves into the VSS Vintorez, a unique Russian integrally suppressed rifle chambered in 9x39mm. The video highlights its quiet operation, mild recoil, and effectiveness at short ranges, comparing its subsonic performance to .300 Blackout and 8.6 Blackout. It also examines the weapon's striker-fired mechanism and ported barrel design.
