5.7 Survival Gun Goodness
Dark Mountain Arms may be a new firearms maker, but they come with a history of innovation, and their first product, the Stowaway, keeps that track record intact.
We’ve been following this incredibly light takedown rifle since it popped up on the radar earlier this year and actively testing one for the past couple of months.
A simple new platform from Fletcher, North Carolina’s veteran-owned Dark Mountain Arms, the Stowaway system is a single-shot, bolt-action takedown firearm initially being offered in 5.7 NATO, but as it is multi-caliber via an easy swap of a bolt face and barrel, future options on the table include 9mm, 4.6×30, .22 LR, .22 WMR, .17 Mach2, and .17 HMR.
An easily packable design with a weight of less than 3 pounds (2.8 pounds for the 16-inch threaded barreled rifle and 2 pounds flat for the 5-inch barreled pistol), the gun can be stowed in two primary pieces and then easily reassembled.
