This entry covers the Kriss Kymera, a highly modular pistol concept from Kriss USA, showcased at SHOT Show 2026. While still in development, its key feature is high customizability through swappable components, akin to building with Lego. The pistol incorporates Picatinny rails for accessory mounting.

This guide details the tool-less disassembly of the Rideout Arsenal Dragon, focusing on its modular components and the process for swapping the interchangeable front 'nose' piece. The firearm utilizes a unique lever-delayed blowback system and a non-reciprocating optics carrier. The guide emphasizes safety during the disassembly process.

The Steyr STM-556 is a rare piston-driven AR-15 variant that attempted to integrate features from the Steyr AUG, such as a quick-change barrel system. Introduced in 2011 and released commercially in 2020, only 300 units were produced for the civilian market. While featuring an adjustable gas system and an ambidextrous bolt catch, its proprietary barrel system, unconventional ergonomics, and high cost contributed to its commercial failure. The rifle demonstrated reliable function during testing but was ultimately deemed a miss by reviewers.

This guide details the assembly process for the Thompson/Center Encore modular firearm system, emphasizing the interchangeability of barrels, receivers, and stocks. It covers how to correctly install components, including the critical hinge pin, and highlights the importance of proper alignment for safety and functionality. The video demonstrates how to convert the platform between rifle, handgun, and muzzleloader configurations.
