April 9, 1940, is a “date of infamy” in Norwegian history. In the early morning hours of that day, the country was overrun by Hitler’s war machine. The small Norwegian army fought valiantly for three months, but had to capitulate. The Norwegian Krag Jorgensen rifle did a splendid job in …

As a .308 Win.-chambered carbine built on an AR-15-length receiver set, providing users with all the handiness of an AR-15 while boasting the far greater firepower of an AR-10, Patriot Ordnance Factory’s Revolution broke new ground upon its 2017 introduction—enough so that we felt confident in awarding it the 2018 Golden Bullseye for …

The revolver was the primary sidearm for American law enforcement for most of the 20th century, but the Model of 1911 served well here, too. Officers who chose to carry something other than a wheelgun in .38 Spl. or .357 Mag. often patrolled the streets with a M1911. With a round of .45 …

Too often we think of violence in the workplace as happening somewhere else. It’s just not the sort of thing that happens in our little business, in our little neighborhood, or our little town.  Of course, if we pay attention to the news, we know that that is simply not …

Yesterday, the New Hampshire Senate voted to pass ATV Carry. Thanks to the strong support of NRA members and Second Amendment supporters, this important legislation will be enrolled and heads to the Governor’s desk for further consideration this session. Please act now to contact Governor Sununu and respectfully request that he …

Multiple culprits such as fragments from a broken ejection-port cover (which is internal), an overly long scope-mount screw or potentially damaged guide rails can affect the range-of-motion of a Remington 742’s bolt-carrier assembly, thereby causing it to malfunction. In my family, we own five Remington semi-automatic rifles chambered in .30-’06 …

Metric cartridges took a while to catch on here in the United States—what with the 7x57mm and 8x57mm Mausers, and the 7mm Remington Magnum being the few exceptions—until the recent boom in popularity of the 6.5mm bore diameter. It seems that we as a nation sort of missed out on …
