MDT is known as a precision rifle specialist, offering everything from bipods to complete chassis systems. Earlier this year, the company acquired action manufacturer Lone Peak Arms, adding a key critical component to its catalog for the precision rifle shooter. MDT’s acquisition of Lone Peak Arms has allowed them to add actions to its catalog of precision rifle parts. The Lone Peak action uses an M700 footprint, meaning it is compatible with the vast aftermarket of stocks, triggers and pre-fit barrels. Building on this base form, the company adds numerous upgrades. Raceways are EDM-cut, and an integral recoil lug is…

Silence is golden. That aphorism may well be the motto of suppressor  makers and dealers right now. A streamlining of the process for purchasing the NFA devices had already made them hot sellers. Then your NRA worked to have them struck from the NFA entirely. Though we came up short (for now), we got the next best thing: The $200 tax stamp was reduced to zero. Sales soared, and now it seems everyone is getting into the suppressor business. What follows is by no means a comprehensive list of available suppressors now for sale. It merely brings to your attention…

Every gun owner runs into the problem eventually. They buy a safe, thinking it’ll give them all the room they’ll ever need for their gun collection.

Manufactured by Kral Arms in Turkey, this lightweight semi-automatic promises everything you need to get started or to perfect what you’ve learned over the years.

Armed Citizen® Today A stolen vehicle was identified in Orange Park, Fla., around 3 p.m. on Aug. 24, and police responded to apprehend the driver.

Honest historical research and analysis still matter. The Bruen test, a legal standard the U.S. Supreme Court established in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen (2022) for evaluating whether a firearm regulation complies with the Second Amendment, has put an exclamation mark on this point; but then, the high court’s Second Amendment decisions leading up to Bruen would not have been possible without the historic research done by the NRA and others before the Heller (2008) decision. In a recent example, a paper titled “The American Tradition of Self-Made Arms” was cited by a court in an important ruling on…

This is the third and final installment of a three-part elk hunting story by FHF founder, Paul Lewis. You can read the first and second segments here.I slid behind the rifle, scanning the dark timber. Silence reclaimed the woods. Then, suddenly, he was just there. He didn’t walk out of the trees so much as materialize, standing motionless at the edge of the willows in the bottom of the drainage. Before I could get him in the scope, he stepped down into the head-high willows, and I caught only a glimpse of his frame from my elevated position. Wide, I…

One Tennessee man recently lost his hunting privileges for life. A tip to a wildlife hotline led game wardens to Austin Hale’s home, where they found 18 deer mounts, 52 turkey beards, 84 turkey spurs, and one fan mount.
