Christensen Arms, manufacturer of state-of-the-art precision firearms and custom carbon-fiber barrels, is proud to announce the launch of the new Modern Hunting Rifle (MHR) with Flash Forged Technology (FFT).

The all-new FFT stock, fore-end, and grips can all be customized to fit any shooter or shooting position.
