Ammo

Traditions Firearms is launching an expanded series of projectiles for muzzle-loading firearms just in time for hunting season.

So there we are. Your total urban defense ammo loadout by my calculation costs you just over $1,200 dollars. If you happen to have more on hand, awesome. But between now and when you need it, I strongly recommend you use some of that extra ammo to hone your skills.

The new 5.7mm guns are offered in pistol and NFA-regulated short-barreled rifle configurations and they use standard Five-seveN magazines.

The Mag Pump magazine loader is a pretty impressive engineering feat. To use it, push a magazine in, dump a box or handful of ammo in the hopper, and start pumping the handle. It’s literally that simple. The ammo doesn’t need to be oriented or sorted, the loader figures it out and puts it into your magazine in the correct orientation.

I love to look at Professional Hunter’s firearms; they show the rigors of day-to-day hunting life and are often beat nearly to death. While we all have our safe queens, I appreciate those beat up, well-hunted guns that invariably have a story to tell, be it that one shot that even surprised the owner, of those hair-raising tales of dangerous game at close quarters.

Freedom Munitions is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy along with other related brands including Howell Machine and X-Treme Bullets.

The .40S&W arose as the indirect result of the FBI’s 1986 Miami shootout. If you aren’t familiar with the details surf on over when you’re done here. Any student of small arms is well served to read up on it. Google is your buddy. During the Miami shootout, two FBI special agents were killed and five wounded by a pair of bank robbers wielding a variety of weapons.

I’ve said it before, but 224 Valkyrie is the greatest AR development since the free float handguard, at least in my opinion. Since it’s initial release just a few months ago, it has taken the small frame AR world by storm. I was absolutely stunned when I was able to put lead on steel at a full mile with Federal’s Valkyrie [...]

I’m going to start reloading. As a noob, I decided to the best place to start was to take an entry-level class. Learning from an expert in the flesh can save you hours of heartache and head-scratching.
