Welcome to today’s Photo of the Day! Here we have the rifle that started Remington’s whole bolt-action hunting empire, and it began life as war surplus. This is the Remington Model 30 Express, and its roots run straight back to World War I. When America couldn’t build enough 190...
I like to actually use my guns, and I typically don’t try to “baby” them. While most of the time I don’t go out of my way to outright mistreat them, they’re tools after all; I am far from the type to have any safe queens, let alone firearms that don’t get rotat...
Welcome to today’s Photo of the Day! Here we have one of the stranger muskets of the Civil War, with a sad story behind it. This is the Lindsay Model 1863, usually called the Lindsay Two-Shot. John P. Lindsay, a former Springfield Armory man, built it on an old and troublesome idea, the sup...

When EAA announced they’d acquired the production facility, they didn’t mince words. They very much plan to establish manufacturing operations in the U.S. As their PR puts it:
The first thing that stood out when I got the KAER safe into position wasn’t any single feature—it was the balance of it. I like it. It’s not too heavy nor too big. It feels weighty in position and secure in place. It’s not something you want to move casually about the house. You pour Rea...
As weighted walking continues to gain traction, GORUCK is expanding its performance lineup with the launch of the Achilles Vest, a streamlined, grab-and-go training vest engineered specifically for men who want the stability of a vest without the bulk of traditional tactical gear. More GORUCK ...
Welcome to today’s Photo of the Day! Here we have a high-grade trap gun from a company that built its name on giving the working man more gun than he paid for. This is an Ithaca New Ithaca Double, the NID, in Grade 5. Ithaca got started in 1880 in a water-powered shop on a […] The pos...
