Without question, the most popular rifle platform in the United States is the AR-15, and for good reason. It offers a number of benefits and has a wide aftermarket parts and accessories available. But it isn’t a perfect design, and one man, Alex Robinson, took it upon himself to address what he saw as several shortcomings in the AR-15 design. He consulted with special forces operators and asked what they wanted in a rifle platform. The result was the Robinson Armament XCR design, and we took a look at the design in our latest “Gun of the Week” episode above.…

A suspected poacher in Texas is facing a whopping 74 charges after being accused of a slew of wildlife infractions.

Last week, local outlets began reporting that the petition has gathered 120,735 signatures, exceeding…

Water is essential to all life. The human body can go three weeks without food but only three days without water before completely shutting down. Yet most of us find it much easier to store a year’s worth of food than a month’s worth of water. I live in the suburbs and while I have my beans, bullets and band aids pretty squared away, water has always been an area of concern for me. There is no way to store enough water for a long term outage, and I haven’t found many good options. Recently I have spent more time…

On May 29, 1648, King Charles I of England attempted to escape captivity at Carisbrooke Castle, Isle of Wight, for the second time, by hacksawing through a barred window but he was caught in the act. — On this day in 1780, the treatment of Patriot prisoners by British Colonel Banastre Tarleton and his Loyalist troops led to the coining of a phrase that defined British brutality for the rest of the War for Independence: “Tarleton’s Quarter.” Tarleton and his Torries proceeded to shoot any an all Patriots that had surrendered after the fall of Charleston.

Hunters and anglers like to strut around in well-worn gear like they’ve earned a merit badge. Scuffed-up rifle stocks, blood-stained jackets, and threadbare packs usually tell a good story in the rips and stains. Well-earned wear is one thing. Flat-out neglect is another. Worn gear may tell a story, but mildew and battery corrosion just tell on you.Most gear failures don’t start in the woods or on the water. They start out small and quiet in truck beds, garages, sheds, and storage bins during the off-season. The good news is that responsible maintenance today can keep a small problem from…
