We really hope you all enjoyed last week’s episode where we asked TFB writers Paul B and Adam S what their top 3 guns would be for a minimalist setup if you couldn’t have any other guns. However, even with an unlimited budget, and choice of any firearms in the world, both Adam, Paul, and virtually everyone else we’ve asked would have picked the same three guns. So this week I’ve decided to change the game up a bit and give our writers a bit more freedom to express themselves in their firearm choices. This week, and down the road we’ll be doing 5 guns with the aim of getting a bit more variety of firearms in the mix. We hope you’ll join the discussion this week with TFB writers Doug E and Patrik O as they go through their very interesting “minimalist” 5-gun setup.

It was eight years ago when Brandon Herrera first teased the idea of the AK-50, and since that day, he has released approximately 50 video updates. You might ask if this really qualifies as a saga. Well, if we mean “saga” in terms of a long story involving achievements of epic and heroic proportions, then you bet! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

If your last try at learning the Italian language and culture failed, there’s some hope in this Photo Of The Day, where we admire the latest creation from SK Customs. This gun is a tribute to the works of Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, generally known as Raphael.

U.S. District Judge John W. Broomes, a President Trump appointee, dismissed two counts of machine gun possession, questioning whether bans on the weapons violates the Second Amendment.

Who wants an affordable G3? Everybody, right? The Heckler & Koch-built battle rifle is a classic weapon of the Cold War, and now, Century Arms has its own take on the formula with its new CA-3.

When it comes to optic durability, Leupold has always had a strong reputation, especially among professionals and law enforcement. The Leupold Mark 4HD 1-4.5X25 M5C3 SFP Scope is no exception.

The history of the battlefield is littered with tales of shooters, and their rifles accomplishing monumental feats of marksmanship with their trusty standard service weapons. While a lot of these feats are often played up for morale or even entirely fabricated, some guys and their rifles truly did have a knack for being pinpoint shooters on the battlefield. Fast forward to 2002 and that concept became an entire dedicated weapons system and its own class of dedicated battlefield marksmen. I’m of course talking about the SPR concept. While the idea of being accurate at long range with a standard service rifle has been in the works for centuries, the Special Purpose Rifle or SPR is a specific type of rifle, typically chambered in 5.56, meant to fill the role of a DMR (designated marksman rifle) without the need for an entirely different cartridge just for that rifle. Today we’ll be reviewing the Munitionworks MOD J SPR - a rifle that is intended to perform at the level as the original Mk 12 SPR, but with a few modernizations that make it a better fit for 2024’s shooters.

Quick, what’s the best pistol ever designed by John Moses Browning? You’ll get a lot of answers for this, although most Americans will loudly shout for the 1911. But along with the classic GI-issued .45 and a lot of other genre-founding pistols (let’s not forget the 1903 pocket pistol, and the Woodsman plinker), the Browning Hi-Power stands as a timeless classic. And now Century Arms has a very affordable clone for sale.

Sig Sauer has updated its ZULY6-HDX image-stabilized binocular line with the new ZULU6-HDX PRO.

Let’s take a closer look at the features of the updated ZULU6-HDX PRO and see if they might be the right fit for your next outdoor adventure.

It’s the firearms manufacturers’ equivalent of The Quest For The Holy Grail—a reliable, safe semi-auto rifle chambered in .22 Magnum. Now, Bear Creek Arsenal has a new take on this idea, with the just-released 202.

The first Indian order came in 2019, with a procurement of 72,400 rifles, worth a reported $72 million.

A gun really isn’t all that helpful in your daily life if you don’t have a good holster, and a good gun belt to hold it all on. Ever since the invention of the handgun, holsters and belts have played an important role in helping their users efficiently carry their firearms, and allow them to have near-instant access to them should the need arise.
