The historic Ilion, N.Y., factory that produced Remington firearms and parts for nearly 200 years may soon become the site of a 200-megawatt data center. A second will follow, according to plans included with an application filed with the state of New York. It wasn’t until 2024 that the legendary production floors of Remington’s famed Ilion facility grew completely silent. That’s when Roundhill Group—purchaser of the firearm branch of Remington Outdoor during 2020’s bankruptcy proceedings—relocated operations of its RemArms company to LaGrange, Ga. The Ilion site was initially listed for sale at $10 million. In June 2025, WKTV, a CBS-TV…

This review started because I needed a band aid the other day and rather than dribble through the house, I went to the first aid kit in the minivan.  I was surprised at the amount of empty space in the plastic case, but there were the necessary items to handle the cut. I used a benzo conium wipe (still wet) and a Band-Aid (still sticky) and then started quality checking the kit. I looked at the contents label and it was printed in 1996 and looking further, the remaining dose of Imodium in the kit had a use by date…

The U.S. Supreme Court has characterized handguns as the “quintessential” Second Amendment arm. Pistol braces increase accuracy and ease of operation for large-format handguns, especially for users suffering from physical disabilities. Yet not only have braced pistols been targeted by authorities in disproportion to their exceedingly rare use in violent crime, but it’s also currently impossible to determine their legal status. NRA-ILA is working to fix that. The issue dates back to 2012, when ATF examined a braced AR-type pistol and determined it was not a “short-barreled rifle” (SBR) for purposes of the National Firearms Act (NFA). Pistol braces then…

While Heckler & Koch’s USA subsidiary offered several notably popular handgun models for the American market, notably its VP9 line of polymer-frame, striker-fired handguns, a truly micro-compact, easily concealable offering wasn’t forthcoming, even as the micro-compact concept took off. Several years in, though, a corporate restructuring allowed HK USA to tackle the concept, and the result was the well-built CC9. Watch our “Gun of the Week” video above to see the CC9 in action on the range. “If your thoughts when you hear ‘Heckler & Koch’ and ‘handgun’ go to the ‘horse pistol’ Mk23, you’re going to be surprised at…

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.
