If you are one those bros who wants more powder, more case length, more velocity, more bullet, more everything, than you will be tickled to hear about some more news coming out of Springfield Armory. They have announced that they are now producing new long-action cartridges in their Model 2020 Waypoint bolt-action rifle series.

Today I’ve brought on Eric and Jordan from Meprolight to talk a little bit about their company’s history not just here in the US, but where they started back in Israel. Like the US, Israel has a lot of domestically produced firearms, optics, and ordnance which they sometimes export to other countries. Meprolight along with IWI are just some of these companies and they’ve both recently put a lot more effort into producing products for regular consumers instead of just for military outfits. Today we’ll get a bit of that story in the form of a short history lesson from Eric and Jordan. Please give them both a warm welcome to the show!

Welcome back to  Wheelgun Wednesday, our weekly article series where we cover everything related to revolvers. Today’s topic is a look at one of the candidates for the title of “World’s Largest Revolver”: the M.R. New System Arms Cucciolo.

Heckler & Koch Is (finally) offering a “clone” of the United States Marine Corps M27 IAR. The new MR27 is based on the familiar MR556 but with added features from the USMC version. Let’s take a look.

Marlin is once again updating its lever-action lineup. The Marlin 1895 Trapper, one of the company’s most popular big-bore rifles, is now available with Magpul furniture to increase its practicality. The Trapper series has been a mainstay of the Marlin lineup for years, these rifles (including the 336 and Model 1894 variants) are your meat-and-potatoes hunting firearms, with only small changes bringing them into the 21st century.

In part 1 of this article, I wrote about the early history of Zastava AKs: M64 and M64A. Right now, the only place where you can find a real M64 is the Zastava Arms Museum in Serbia. In this article we’ll talk about the first mass-produced Zastava AKs, the M70.

Photo Of The Day where we have U.S. Green Berets and Georgian special operations forces soldiers, as they line up to assault a simulated high-value target safe house during exercise Trojan Footprint 2024, March 2024, near Tianeti, Georgia.

Beretta has just added threaded barrels as a separate option for the new 80X Cheetah line of pistols. Beretta announced the updated Cheetah models at SHOT Show 2023 to include a railed dust cover, optics-ready slide, and an updated trigger. However, the threaded barrel option has arrived only 14 months after the official launch.

Vortex Optics has updated the venerable Viper HD scope family. The new generation merges features from hunting and tactical optics to create a scope that can work for most things. Let’s see what Vortex has packed into the new Vipers.

The Fiocchi Hyperformance lineup is growing again, with new hunting ammunition specifically designed for handgun shooters. The new Fiocchi Hyperperformance Hunt lineup is coming to market in four different chamberings, with choices for revolver or autoloaders.

Since 1996 Jaki Ltd. of Finland have been manufacturing suppressors. The company was founded by Jussi and Aki Nyyssönen, and they initially began by designing and crafting suppressors for their own personal competitive firearms. With time, almost four decades, the company and the products have evolved. To my knowledge, Jaki’s products cannot be found in the USA, but since TFB stretches on a global level with lots of international readers, it can sometimes be of interest to study various products even if they’re not available.

Top of the morning and welcome to our Photo Of The Day! TFB recently wrote about the New CZ BREN 2 Ms – NATO Limited Edition, an article that got quite a lot of attention. But there was one photo that wasn’t included for some reason, and it’s the one above with the BREN 2 Ms on top of the NATO and Czech Republic combination flag.

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world and all of the types of guns, ammo, and history you can imagine surrounding it! Last week we talked about the odd and often ill-remembered Intratec TEC-22 pistol. A lot of you shared that your own pistols tended not to work well and even confirmed the reports that the gun would often go full-auto occasionally! I always find it very interesting to hear from you guys when it comes to some of the more unsavory reports about rare or discontinued firearms. This week we’re talking about another firearm that has been discontinued, but one that usually brings back fond memories rather than sour ones. This week we’re talking about the discontinued and fondly remembered Winchester 250 22LR lever action rifle.

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 89! We’re back with more deals on guns, gear, ammunition, and accessories from some of our most frequented online retailers like Primary Arms, Natchez Shooters Supply, Palmetto State Armory, Brownells, and more. Whether you’re looking for deals on new or used guns, ammo to add to your reserves, or specific accessories like flashlights, range bags, optics, bipods, and magazines, each week we’ll have new sets of deals that might fulfill one of those needs and save you a few dollars.

Editor’s Note: The laws and regulations surrounding the National Firearms Act (NFA) are complicated. Know and understand your local, state, and federal laws before making any alterations to firearms and suppressors. I personally believe that NFA regulations shouldn’t exist, but until the laws are repealed, make sure to stay safe and legal.
