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…

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. Rimfire Suppressors @ TFB: The background to this review is that I have been using…

LionSteel’s latest project is a bit different than a standard full production release. The company is rolling out a limited edition fixed blade called the KC-01, a tribute by and for members of a prominent online Italian knife community. Knife Community Italia began in 2020, a year when online meeting places saw a surge of attention in all walks of life. The founders took an existing Facebook group that was focused, like many Facebook knife groups, around buying and selling knives, and transformed it into a more complete community-style experience. One of the founders of Knife Community Italia, Raffaele Santoro,…

But settling on the right tool for the job isn’t always as clear cut, and with kayaks for everything from raucous whitewater to extended jaunts between islands, the options can be dizzying. Tapping our most seasoned paddlers, we fielded a slate of kayaks and narrowed in on the 10 of the best available today — from all across the kayak spectrum. We paddled whitewater rigs through the jungles of Ecuador, plied the shores of the Pacific, and explored inland lakes…

Colorado’s Revel Bikes has been making waves and fighting against the giants in the cycling industry. It has gained notoriety with its Canfield Balance Formula (CBF) suspension, thermoplastic wheels, and a one-off thermoplastic downhill frame. The OG Ranger was well-received by mountain biking laureates, including us at GearJunkie. Revel Bikes released version 2 of the Ranger last year, and I’ve been testing it ever since. For a solid year, I rode the lowest-spec version without regard to the frame’s longevity or its parts. The riding near my home in Hill Country, Central Texas, is hard on bikes. Most trails are…
