If you’ve spent any time behind a Remington 700, you already know the platform’s reputation. It’s one of the most trusted bolt-action receivers ever made, a go-to for hunters, precision rifle competitors, and military snipers. The one thing that’s always been a limiting factor for a lot of shooters? The factory trigger. CMC Triggers, best known for their widely praised drop-in AR trigger systems, is making a move into the bolt-gun world with the new Remington 700® Adjustable Ultra Precision Trigger Group, available now in both flat and curved bow configurations. What CMC Is Bringing to the Bolt-Gun Market CMC’s…

There’s something about a purpose-built suppressed .22 pistol that just hits different. Maybe it’s the Cold War clandestine vibe. Maybe it’s the promise of whisper-quiet rimfire performance. Whatever it is, the Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Tactical — Silencer Shop Exclusive scratches that itch in a way few guns can. What Is the Ruger Mark IV 22/45 SSH? The Silencer Shop Exclusive version of the Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Tactical is a purpose-built suppressor-ready rimfire pistol chambered in .22 LR. It ships with a 3″ cold hammer-forged, threaded barrel (1/2×28), a top Picatinny rail for optics and accessories, and Ruger’s signature…

If you are serious about night vision and want the one event that feels like a true pilgrimage, Moons Out is it. Last month, I just wrapped two nights running a Hi-Point HP-15 under nods at Echo Valley Training Center with mud on my boots and a helmet that left my neck screaming at me. This annual rifle-only match put on by the Forgotten Weapons and crew has become the Mecca for night vision shooters who want real low-light pressure against other like-minded and similarly equipped shooters instead of range day cosplay. The competition is ten stages, no white light…

In an ill-advised move that has gun-rights organizations and pro-gun advocates angry, the Trump Administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) has chosen to keep in place the arguably unconstitutional “Frame & Receiver” final rule put in place by the Biden Administration. “At this time, the [Trump Administration] has decided to maintain the current definition of firearm ‘frame’ and ‘receiver’ contained in that final [Biden Administration] rule,” the administration wrote on April 8. At issue is the final rule, sometimes referred to as the “ghost gun” rule, that redefined important legal terms dealing with guns, including “firearm,” “receiver” and “frame,” making the…

A new final rule published by the Trump Administration’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has put an end to “reputational risks” as an excuse for banking discrimination. At issue is the practice of large banks “debanking” or refusing to do business with corporations, like those in the firearm and ammo industry, that are legal but some consider politically incorrect. Last December, the OCC released findings that over the past several years, large banks systematically “made inappropriate distinctions” of lawful businesses, including those against firearm-related businesses, to restrict access to banking…

A few years ago, Palmetto State Armory purchased the rights to the DPMS name. DPMS Panther Arms had a solid reputation — and was a fixture in American gun shops for decades — before becoming part of Freedom Group and eventually landing with PSA. Quality concerns surfaced occasionally over the years, though I never personally tested a subpar rifle. Will PSA push the brand into new variations? Time will tell. What’s certain is that PSA offers a broad lineup of rifles and pistols and is a strong supporter of Second Amendment rights. Their products span the range from entry-level to…

For over thirty years, the federal government has quietly maintained one of the most constitutionally dubious policies on the books: permanent, lifetime disarmament for non-violent felons, with zero process for review, zero path to restoration, and zero exceptions for people who’ve rebuilt their lives and posed no threat to anyone. That may finally be changing. What’s Actually Happening The Department of Justice is moving to restart the Federal Firearms Rights Restoration program under 18 U.S.C. § 925(c) — a mechanism that has technically existed in federal law for decades but was defunded by Congress in the early 1990s and has…

Some things aren’t just tools. They’re carried. The first thing Earl Briggs did every morning was reach for two things: his coffee and his Zippo. Not his phone. Not the remote. His Zippo. It was a 1968 classic brushed chrome, worn down to raw brass on the corners where his thumb had worked it ten thousand times. His father brought it back from Vietnam with three words scratched into the bottom panel in uneven letters: still standing here Nobody knew if the old man carved it himself or bought it off some kid in a Saigon market. Didn’t matter. It…

If you’ve been running the Primary Arms SLx 1x MicroPrism and wishing you could swap it onto your existing red dot mount without buying yet another adapter, good news: Primary Arms heard you. The Houston-based optics company just dropped the SLx 1x MicroPrismT — same prism, new footprint. Specifically, an H1/T1-compatible mounting footprint, which is about as close to a universal standard as the red dot world has. That means this thing drops right onto a massive selection of aftermarket mounts and risers you probably already own. No proprietary adapter. No extra spend. Just swap and go. Same Great Optic,…

A major gun-rights organization is rallying its membership to urge President Donald Trump to replace recently fired U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi with someone with stronger convictions about protecting the Second Amendment.  Gun Owners of America (GOA) recently said that gun owners across America are “breathing a sigh of relief” with Bondi’s departure. “Bondi came in with a weak 2A record and made things worse as attorney general,” GOA said in a national alert to members. “Under her watch, two Biden-era gun rules Trump promised to kill on day one are still on the books: the pistol brace ban and…
