The mid-19th century was a period of great evolution for both firearms and ammunition, and the U.S. military reaped the benefits of these technological leaps. The Army would enter the 19th century equipped with a smoothbore flintlock musket that differed little from the designs of the past, and it would exit the century with a modern, bolt-action, repeating rifle that used smokeless powder ammunition. Watch our “American Rifleman Television” feature segment above to see how U.S. Army small arms evolved from the dawn of the Civil War to the beginning of the 20th century. “Of course, rifles had been used…

(Continued from Part 1. This concludes the article.) LinuxLite Attempt One Since I was more satisfied with the Linux apps that I was running under Chrome OS Flex than with the native Chrome apps, I decided to experiment with another Linux OS. I went to www.linuxliteos.com and attempted to downloaded LinuxLite 7.4 . That was easier said than done. That site was so choked with ads and deceptive links leading to other software that it was virtually impossible to find a link leading to the correct download. After more than 30 minutes of searching, I finally gave up and decided…

Winter is a hard time to be an angler. Unless you’re super into ice fishing or can afford a guided trip to a tropical climate, for the most part, we look at the coldest season of the year as something that must simply be endured. Locked in a cold, gray haze that reflects the weather, we sit and wait for spring by staring longingly out the window like a dog waiting for its master to come home because it desperately needs to be let out. It doesn’t have to be this way, because even in the darkest part of winter,…

They say everything is bigger in Texas, and that couldn’t be more true for Ross Gomez of Post, Texas, who reeled in a 14.74 lb. largemouth bass on the evening of January 22, 2026. But the real story isn’t just the size of the fish; it’s the fact that Gomez had already caught the same bass twice before.Back in 2023, Gomez was targeting crappie of a public dock at Lake Alan Henry when he hooked into the then 13.22 lb. fish. A fellow angler helped him weigh the bass and then told him he should consider donating the fish to…

Gun: RG 14Manufacturer: RG Industries (Miami, Fla.)Chambering: .22 LRManufactured: c. 1980Condition: NRA Good (Modern Gun Standards)Value: $125 Established as an industrial manufacturer in 1909, the Röhm company of Sontheim/Brenz, Germany, created a subsidiary, Röhm Gesellschaft, in the 1950s to manufacture the blank-firing, gas and alarm pistols that were popular in Europe at that time. It soon moved into producing firearms with a line of inexpensive handguns. The Röhm product that most Americans are probably familiar with is the RG 10, a double-action/single-action, solid-frame, six-shot revolver chambered for .22 Short. Loading was done through a hinged loading gate, and a pin…

The U.S. Military’s Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC Crane), has designed and developed the Drone Killer Cartridge (DKC). The cost-effective family of ammunition is designed to increase a warfighter’s probability of a hit and kill against drone threats. DKC is designed for use in rifles, automatic rifles and machine guns, but it disperses a cluster of projectiles upon firing with an effective range far greater than a conventional shotgun’s capabilities. The effect increases probability hits and kills against Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) threats in a way that also minimizes risk of collateral damage from projectiles that don’t impact…

Can claiming a hunting addiction keep you out of prison for wildlife crimes? A man from Sacramento, California, recently tested out the argument before a federal judge, after being convicted for smuggling an endangered Ladakh urial sheep home from a Pakistani hunting trip.“When I hear the word addiction, it seems to refer to drugs, alcohol, or gambling,” defendant Jason Keith Bruce wrote in a letter to a U.S. District Judge, obtained by SF Gate. “But I have definitely felt a deep compulsion about hunting, so much that I see it clouds my decisions.”The plea didn’t hold up, and Bruce was…
