    Ruger American Pistol

    I was browsing Ruger's website and noticed that their American Pistol is still on their product listing. This particular gun seems to have dropped completely off the radar (although to be fair, I'm not sure that it was ever really on the radar). Feedback on the various forums seems to be...

    FN sues Ruger over trademark infringement

    Are people really going to be confused over this? "FN accuses Ruger of using a mark – “SFAR” – that is pronounced similarly to “SCAR” and used in connection with directly competing firearms. FN alleges that this action by Ruger is likely to cause confusion among consumers, leading them to...

    Turkish M1911A1's for the Civilian Marksmanship Program

    Those Turks get around, don't ya know :D "Tisas USA, a division of SDS Imports, the internationally recognized firearms manufacturer that provides high quality firearms at unrivaled value is pleased to announce a partnership with the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP). Tisas is the first...

    TISAS' "Armed Services" 1911A1

    Other than maybe a couple details, it seems pretty similar to their latest GI 1911A1's. Didn't realize that duplicating the wartime markings accurately would be a concern, but I think it would be cool if they did. "Based on a 1943 Remington Rand, the Tisas Armed Services (AS) duplicates the...

    Howa bolt guns

    I see this brand on occasion at the local store. About all I know is that they're made in Japan and look to be well fit and finished. Anyone with any positive or negative experiences with Howa?

    LAPD's DACA situation

    Only involves a couple people, but interesting nonetheless: "LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles Police Department is confronting a unique challenge as two of its newest recruit officers are DACA recipients, often referred to as Dreamers. While California has passed a law allowing noncitizens to...

    Stevens 334 bolt gun

    Basically a rebranded Turkish rifle. Most feedback seems to be positive, and it's basically a budget/starter rifle. Anyone familiar? https://www.savagearms.com/content?p=firearms&a=product_summary&s=18838

    SIG Pro (SP2022)

    I've heard this gun called "SIG's best kept secret", although it seems to have been discontinued a couple years ago (at least that's when it disappeared from SIG's catalog). SIG sold a lot of them to foreign governments - France and Iraq come to mind - and it has a lot of positive feedback from...

    PMC ammunition (.223, 5.56mm)

    This is one brand I've never used. Been looking at their X-TAC and Bronze iterations, though. Anyone with any positive or negative experiences regarding accuracy and reliability of this particular brand?

    Remington 783

    I had thought that this budget/entry-level bolt gun died with the "old" Remington, but apparently Remarms is bringing it back. I've heard some favorable comments on the heavy barrel Varmint versions, and some had a rather nice looking laminated stock. Is the 783 worth a look for an inexpensive...

    New Tisas (Turkish) M1911A1

    Not a big 1911 guy, but Bud's had this for $367 so I took the plunge. This is Tisas' "US Army, wood grips" iteration (of which they have several). Enclosed tag says " Forged frame and slide, Series 70 internals, hardened before machined". Not sure if that last bit is anything relevant, though...

    Remington 870 Home Defense

    This is the new Remarms iteration, previously called the "Hardwood Home Defense" and now (according to the box label) the "870 Tactical". Fit and finish look well done, and it cycles and ejects fine with dummy rounds. Sling is a Blue Force Gear hunting sling. This gun also available in a 5-shot...

    Counterfeit/knockoff optics

    Counterfeit products are, and have been, a fact of life. EOTech's website has a fairly detailed page on recognizing knockoffs, so they probably have a significant issue with it: Counterfeit Alert: How to Spot a Fake | EOTECH (eotechinc.com) Other optics manufacturers have similar notices...

    Rifle sling question

    Many (most?) synthetic slings on the market today are made from some flavor of nylon. Others are made from polypropylene. What (if any) advantages does this material have over nylon?

    "You owe us for that lost M14"

    I'm reading "The U.S. M14 Rifle: The Last Steel Warrior" (2nd Edition), which is an informative treatment of this rifle. On page 119 is a picture with this caption: "February 14, 1968. 24 year old Ernest J. Wagner of Racine, Wisconsin with a letter from the government, stating that he owes...

    Winchester SXP "Trench"

    Bought this as a Father's Day gift to me. Another iteration of the SXP, called the "Trench" model (for promotional purposes, I would imagine). Wooden furniture and heat shield. This also has a chrome lined bore and chamber, which must be something new for Winchester or maybe just unique to this...
