Most shooters spend plenty of time cleaning the outside of their firearms, but very few ever get a real look at what’s happening inside the barrel itself. Until fairly recently, the only way to judge a barrel’s condition was by accuracy on target or by shining a light down the bore and hoping for the…
Birchwood Casey Torque Limiter Set Mounting optics correctly requires more than just tightening screws until they feel snug or going all old school P.F.T. Manufacturers publish torque specifications for a reason. Not reaching or exceeding those limits can cause issues such as loose mounts, inconsistent downforce, stripped fasteners, damage to mounting hardware, or even harm…
Firearm failures are rare and almost always due to an error unrelated to the firearm. In those rare events, a catastrophic failure is a powerful reminder of why safety matters every single time we step to the firing line. Recently, a friend of mine experienced a catastrophic revolver failure while shooting factory ammunition. Thankfully, no…

The heart wants what the heart wants. When Remington went out of business some years ago, it left a void among rifle manufacturers that built factory 220 Swift platforms.
