Auto-Ordnance, in partnership with the artists at Altered Arsenal, has announced the release of a special-edition M1 carbine in commemoration of the 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima. The specially crafted rifle pays tribute to the unwavering bravery and sacrifice of the American servicemen who fought on the black sands of the island.

These clever devices are NOT classified as suppressors by the ATF. They are sold nationwide, with no paperwork.  They are a modular design, meaning that sections can be assembled incrementally, to whatever length you’d like. (Kaw also makes 2″ and 3″ extensions, and sells them separately.) It was probably just a coincidence, but the inside diameter of a Kaw…

When Henry Repeating Arms introduced its Special Products Division at last year’s SHOT Show, the company described it as “a collaborative hub dedicated to pioneering advancements in firearms design and technology to explore what’s possible.” They have delivered on that promise, first with its HUSH series of suppressor-ready rifles introduced in January, and now with the company’s recently announced CRUSR and PREDATOR rifles. The CRUSR is a rifle “tailored to professional guides, backcountry outfitters and hunters who push their expeditions deep into the world’s most unforgiving places.” The CRUSR’s (pronounced “cruiser”) name is an acronym that stands for “compact, rugged,…
