It has the ability to be a super short rimfire action or mimic a centerfire short action rifle. It’s a tac driving machine that has phenomenal ergonomics and an easily adjustable stock…

The Gewehr 98 Mauser rifle is one of the most historically significant and technically influential firearms in history. In one variant or another, it armed men on both sides of two world wars and continues to be seen in conflicts around the world to this day. Rifle actions are still being based on it or using its features.

Lightweight, rugged, and maneuverable, the Czech vz. 58 represents a tiny glimmer of individuality in the Warsaw Pact during the Cold War.

Available in six models including pistols and carbines, the Guard has fully functional AR controls and feeds from Glock-pattern magazines.

This particular class was obviously not a beginner’s course. But there are plenty to choose from that are in the NRA Summer Gunsmithing Program.

Does the Ruger 10/22 come with a threaded barrel? Some models do. Ruger’s 10/22 Takedown model 11162, for example, has a 16.40 inch barrel threaded 1/2-28 with a flash suppressor. Another route is Ruger’s Silent-SR ISB, an integrally suppressed replacement barrel for 10/22 Takedown rifles, which is what I tested. It shot multiple half inch [...]

Like many gun owners in 2018, my long-range shooting knowledge exceeded my experience. I’ve been geeking out about D.O.P.E. cards, bullet trajectories, and MIL vs. MOA for years, but I hadn’t had many chances to pull the trigger.

The Uzi and the MAC-10 look like cousins because they are built the same way: stamped steel, an open bolt and a magazine that feeds through the pistol grip. The real difference is speed. The Uzi runs about 600 rounds per minute and stays manageable, while the much smaller MAC-10 cycles at roughly 1,250, which [...]
