Rosco Manufacturing is adding to its limited edition series of Husky heavy barrels for the AR-15 platform. The lineup previously included 10.3”, 12.5”, and 14.5” models, however, at the moment only the 14.5” and new 11.5” variants are in stock and available for purchase. Will there be more? You’ll have to ask Rosco, but “limited” could indicate a firm “you snooze, you lose” policy from the Rhode Island barrel manufacturer. Let’s take a closer look at the Limited 11.5” 5.56 NATO Husky Barrel.

Rosco Manufacturing, delivering accuracy and expertise in hard-use precision barrel making, demands stringent performance standards throughout its product lines. The Rhode Island manufacturer has evolved again, excited to announce its 6mm ARC Purebred Barrel Series in 14.5”, 16”, and 20”, respectively.

C&H Precision has cemented a reputation for themselves as the premier slide-milling and “optic fitting” company in the firearm industry for a number of years now. In the past year though, they have looked to expand upon that considerably with optics of their own and supplementary products like those from Paragon, and their Weapon Light Cleaner, which they now own, too.

Have you ever wondered what you’d do if you could only ever own three guns? Let’s suppose you’ve got an unlimited budget, but for some reason, you can only get 3 more guns and you’ll never be able to get new ones again - what would you pick in this scenario? While this is unlikely to ever happen in real life, this simple question often exposes what most of us find important in our daily lives when it comes to guns. For this first round of answers from our TFB writers, I’ve brought on Adam S and Paul B to give their own bids into this fun little discussion. Today I hope you’ll also join us in the discussion (before or after listening to the podcast!) to share with us your three guns and why you picked them! We’ll be revisiting this topic over the next couple of episodes and maybe even beyond that, we’d love for you to join the discussion with us as it adapts with new guests.

For everybody who still loves to rock a 1911 as their daily carry piece, Galco is expanding your options yet again by offering their Halo Belt Holster which can accommodate your favorite weapon-mounted light (WML) as well.

Bushmaster has decided to throw its hat in the ring with the release of the Bravo Zulu 11.5” 300BLK complete upper receiver assembly. With ammunition available starting at 110gr through 220gr subsonic, 300BLK has emerged over the years as a versatile cartridge, popular amongst shooters, especially in short-barreled and suppressed applications. While the entry into this cartridge comes a little late in the game, any addition from Bushmaster is always a welcome contribution.

Springfield Armory has announced one of their biggest giveaways ever as they are giving gun owners and outdoor enthusiasts the chance to win a kitted out Polaris UTV plus a varietal truckload of guns and silencers to go along with it via their “Lock & Load” Off-Road Adventure Giveaway.

Sebastian Unger is a good friend of mine and one I’ve had the rare opportunity to meet in person to talk about some of his designs - most notably the OpenTop 11/22. Sebastian recently came to me with yet another project he’s recently started working on. In a move that would make even the most seasoned gunsmiths shake their heads in bewilderment, our favorite Austrian man, tired of receiving his shotgun's punishing recoil, has decided enough is enough. Rather than suffer one more bruised shoulder, Sebastian has taken matters into his own hands and engineered a recoil-reducing stock that promises to tame even the most brutal of slug loads. Because when life gives you recoil, you build a better stock right?

Alchemy Custom Weaponry is a custom handgun maker that a few years ago was acquired by Cabot Guns. While both divisions focus on offering high-quality, very well-detailed firearms, ACW tends to be the more practically minded workshop, with models designed to show off in use, not in a case. The RestoMod product line definitely falls in this category, merging nostalgic style with modern features.

Parker Mountain Machine, delving into the finer aspects of component development to manufacture useful solutions for some of our favorite firearm platforms, is at it again, this time with the PMM Ultra Compensator for the FN 510. Let’s take a closer look at how this new compensator is taking the sting out of the 10mm cartridge that had a particular three-letter agency crying the recoil blues.

For Texas middle school teacher, David Garza, midnight on July 28th, may not have seemed remarkable, that is until he heard the sound of a female voice in terror outside his home. Looking out a window to see a male suspect beating a young woman and realizing he was attempting to remove her clothing, David was faced with a split-second decision and chose to place his life in danger to save the life of a stranger in need. David grabbed his gun.

I can still remember the first time I watched the film Aliens growing up. For me, back then, this 1986 science fiction action flick was more than a movie, it was an event. The box office return certainly reflected the film's popularity with it bringing $291,694,608 (adjusted for inflation) on a modest budget of $40 million. Of course, there would be many more films that would come out in the franchise but none of them featured the most iconic gun from the second instalment, the M-41A Pulse rifle. With the newest installment of the Aliens franchise chest bursting onto screens this Friday, I thought this would be a good time to look at its take on the Pulse rifle.

Do you ever travel to New York City? Do you concealed carry? Concerned about your safety while visiting? Great, then keep reading! The right to keep and bear arms and the city of New York go together like toasters and bathtubs. Thankfully, the landmark Supreme Court decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, delivered some much-needed relief to NYC residents as it struck down a law, dating back a century, which required New Yorkers to show “proper cause” in order to obtain a concealed carry permit and exercise their Constitutional right to defend themselves. It seems now the fallout from that decision could also open up a path for non-residents to apply for permits to carry in the state.

CMMG is expanding its Dissent lineup of rifles, pistols, and pistol-caliber carbines with the new Dissent Mk3 large frame platform in .308, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 8.6BLK. Sharing a familiar manual of arms with previous models, the direct impingement Dissent Mk3 incorporates CMMG ZEROED controls and trigger, free float M-LOK handguard, and a reversible non-reciprocating forward charging handle in addition to its upsized Compact Action.

Savage Arms is getting with the times and giving its Model 42 survival rifle a slightly more tactical-looking finish. If you want this survival rifle/shotgun in Olive Drab Green or Flat Dark Earth, now’s your chance!

Is… Is M81 camo, aka Woodland pattern, getting trendy? Uh, maybe. Decades after the U.S. military phased the classic Cold War camouflage pattern out of front-line use, we see Hi-Point is now offering this finish on multiple models.

Oliver Winchester is long dead and so is John Wayne, but lever guns are the hottest they’ve been in years. For proof, check out Rossi’s newest imports to the U.S. The R95 lineup is growing again, with new Triple Black and Laminate options in .45-70 chambering.

The NICS numbers are in for July, and guess what—we’re still over a million check-ups for the month! And in July of 2024, we finally saw a reversal of the year-long trend of year-over-year NICS decline.

Today we’ve brought back Kirk from Aero Precision to talk a bit about “backpack guns.” What that term means exactly is largely up to the user but we thought we’d try to tackle the discussion from a more modern perspective. What you bring into the field with you is often going to be dictated by what you’re out there for in the first place. My assumption growing up and from reading various survival novels and fiction was that the trusty 22LR was always going to be the gun for the job but today Kirk and I are going to tackle the subject from a more learned, and modern perspective. How does the 22LR backpack gun concept hold up today, and what are some reasons why you might still want to have one in your collection?

Keystone Arms is now shipping the newest installment in their family of mini rimfire clones. The Mini 1903-A3 provides the look and feel of the classic Springfield rifle but scaled down. Let’s take a look at its features.

FPV kamikaze drones have really changed the battlefield. They are small, fast, cheap and devastating against infantry and vehicles alike. The Russo-Ukrainian war is probably the conflict where these machines have been used most extensively and ever since the sides started deploying them, they have also been trying to come up with solutions for defense against FPV drones. Arguably the most effective, readily available and affordable counter-FPV tool at the moment is the good old scattergun. However, one major disadvantage of using shotguns is that you need to carry a separate shoulder-fired weapon. Attempts to make more compact and lightweight devices for anti-FPV warfare have resulted in the creation of things like the Ukrainian MSD-5 pepperbox or the 12 gauge barrel inserts for underbarrel grenade launchers. In this article, we’ll take a look at one of the latest anti-drone devices, a rifle attachment called Dronoboy developed by Russian company BRT (one of the leading suppressor manufacturers in Russia).

Got a pest problem? CCI doesn’t want you to call the exterminator—they want you to reach for your handgun, and load it up with Hevi-Bismuth shotshells.

Beretta is expanding its hunting shotgun lineup again, introducing the new A300 Ultima Field for 2024.

There are many opportunities to watch new tips and tricks from top competitors from around the World at the IPSC Rifle World Shoots. Every now and then you see new things, also in terms of calibers and firearms designs. This article circles around an AR15 made in Sweden, by Spuhr. There are only two rifles built so far, and there is no plan (yet) to make any more.

The state of Oregon has a ban on homebuilt firearms, and the Firearms Policy Coalition has a problem with that—and they’ve announced they’re going to fight it in court.

Do you live in Nebraska? Do you shoot guns? Then you need to know that, right now, your state legislators are looking at bringing in another tax on ammo in order to pay the government’s bills.

One of the most significant lawsuits in the firearms world has been mostly dismantled in the U.S. Federal District Court. US district judge Dennis Saylor has dismissed the Mexican government’s lawsuit against six American gunmakers, months after it was filed in Massachusetts. However, the $10B lawsuit is not completely gone—there’s still some cleanup to sort out with other parties named in the suit.

Year by year, we’ve seen WOOX expanding their collection of firearm furniture that elegantly blends modern styles with traditional wood grains. Their latest product, the Vigilante, offers WOOX’ signature take on the challenging task of tastefully adding wood accents to Modern Sorting Rifles.

If there’s one thing that Canadian firearms manufacturers are good at, it’s figuring out how to best deliver their country’s shooters what they want while still playing within a constantly changing federal rulebook. That’s how we get the new Crusader Arms Crypto—a semi-auto rifle that’s not an AR, but offers similar functionality and looks, and accepts many of the same parts.

Oregon-based custom rifle builder, MOA Rifles, known for producing high-quality bolt actions using premium components, has just released their BadRock North Fork package, aimed at providing a turn-key hunting solution for the discerning shooter looking for the best “bang for their buck.” The build on the BadRock North Fork reads more like a wishlist. Let’s take a closer look.
