Today, the United States is facing a shortage of ammunition. Tariffs, foreign restrictions and international tensions are laying siege to our ammunition stores. Large plants such as Lake City are manufacturing ammo for the military, but ordinary citizens could be left out in the cold if ammo manufacturing doesn’t keep up with increasing demand. But this situation is nothing new, and a similar sort of circumstance faced our Founding Fathers at the beginning of the American Revolution. During the first two to three years following the opening salvos of the American Revolution, Washington’s army was faced with a scant stock…

Beretta’s 92 handgun is a classic firearm that not only defined the brand, but has served the U.S. military for four decades. The company keeps refining and updating the 92 design, and its latest collaboration is with Langdon Tactical Technologies that is designed for both competition and duty: the 92G Elite Combat LTT.  Beretta’s 92G Elite Combat LTT is an enhanced pistol designed for competition and duty. The Beretta 92G Elite Combat LTT is based on the company’s full-size, alloy-frame 9 mm Luger-chambered Model 92A1. The “G” designation means that the Elite Combat only has bilateral decocking-only levers mounted on…

Every angler out there maintains an unshakable faith that whatever they’re doing will eventually work, even when there’s evidence to the contrary. We target specific hatches, return to the same spots, use the same lures and baits, and hope we’re doing the right thing to get the job done.But sometimes you still get skunked. Then, anglers will say things like “the fish weren’t biting” or “it’s called fishing, not catching” or “the big one got away.” The truth is fish are always biting, you can always catch them, and you let the big one get away. In reality, you probably…

No one needs an introduction to chronic wasting disease (CWD) at this point, or the recounting of its history and incurable nature. It is now found in 37 states and its footprint in some locations is growing. The disease is not caused by a bacteria or virus, but by a prion (“PREE-on”), a type of infectious protein that is not folded the way it should be. When these prions come into contact with the normal form of the same protein, those normal proteins also misfold in a cascading effect.We are fortunate that teams of disease specialists and managers are working…

(Continued from Part 1.) Solar Panel Inventory As mentioned, to make this test more valuable to the majority of the readers I didn’t use my 3,000-watt home solar-panel system for lighting or charging batteries. I did, however, use a few smaller portable solar panels I have. 1 – 100-watt panel 1 – 15-watt panel 1 – 20-watt panel 1 – 1.8-watt trickle charger As you’d expect, the larger a solar panel is the more quickly it’ll charge a battery. For preppers who are currently without any solar panels, though not ideal, inexpensive 15-to-25-watt panels could be purchased and tucked away…

Springfield Armory likely needs no introduction, as the company has been around in its current form since 1974 and is known for its excellent M1A rifles, 1911s and a variety of other quality firearms, such as the Kuna, Hellion bullpup rifle and more. American Rifleman first reviewed the Springfield 2020 Waypoint back in 2020. That version of the rifle featured a 20-inch, carbon-fiber-sleeved, stainless barrel by BSF Barrels and a traditional-looking AG Composites stock. Oriented for long-range hunting, the 2020 series shares the Remington 700 footprint, which makes aftermarket stocks and accessories easy to find. In subsequent years, Springfield Armory…

When Bill Roland went missing from Lake Sam Rayburn in 1997, nothing about the case made sense.His truck, boat, and trailer were missing, but there was no sign of a struggle at his lake house. Searches of the surrounding woods turned up empty, and his family and friends said he’d never leave without telling anyone.Weeks later, his boat turned up hidden in a cove, shot multiple times with a shotgun in an apparent attempt to sink it.His truck was found burned.His trailer was somewhere else entirely.Investigators were left to piece together a puzzle with missing parts: a fisherman who may…

PROOF Research has introduced PROOF eXponential Twist (PXT)—an advancement in rifling that improves durability, accuracy and shootability—to the commercial market. PXT is engineered to meet the demands of modern high-pressure ammunition. Extensive military testing and research have demonstrated its ability to deliver longer barrel life, as well as enhanced consistency and performance. “PXT is a complete redesign of how the bullet engages the rifling during initial rotation,” explained Brandon Hulzebosch, PROOF Research director of sales and marketing. “As the industry advances and ammunition continues to evolve toward higher pressures and performance, we set out to address the technological gap between…
