Often seen, but rarely in person, the Techno Arms MAG-7 was one of the firearms fixtures of my childhood, appearing in seemingly every compendium and encyclopedia of small arms I could get my hands on growing up. It’s an extremely strange gun, sort of a hybrid of [Read More…]
TriStar, known for their imported Turkish-made shotguns, has announced the expansion of their Over/Under shotgun line with offerings for smaller gauges. Originally released only in 12 Gauge, the Setter brand of shotguns is now available in both .410 and 28 Gauge. The [Read More…]
I don’t usually read The Daily Mail for its authentic and informative stories about the world, but some pretty interesting stuff does sometimes come out of it. Such as this story about a British parish council chairman in Suffolk who amassed over five hundred [Read More…]
TriStar announced that the company would now sell its 12 gauge Cobra pump action shotguns with 3.5″ chambers. The new guns will be called Cobra Mag shotguns. The new shotguns will come in two varieties: a plain black model and a second model decked out in the [Read More…]
Remington announced the brand new V3 shotgun in December and the company has finally (officially) announced the full line specifications. They are already shipping to dealers. What is the Remington V3 you ask? It’s essentially a mid-range priced version of the [Read More…]
The Ithaca Gun Company may have gotten its start in 1883 but they didn’t begin producing their best-selling shotgun for another fifty years. That gun was none other than the Ithaca Model 37, a gun that itself had a long history. It got its start back in 1915 when [Read More…]
When reading through comments on a webpage or social media site, a response of +1 typically means the commenter agrees with something that was previously stated by saying he or she is one more person to state whatever point was made. O.F. Mossberg & Sons is [Read More…]
Oleg Volk writes about the new OATH Ammunition 12 gauge slugs at All Outdoor … 12ga slugs have been rightly known as good stoppers on dangerous game, but tend to over-penetrate in hominids. OATH Ammunition has two new designs that solve over-penetration along with [Read More…]
We all know that when the importation of Saiga rifles and shotguns was halted as a result of some political nonsense that we aren’t going to dive into several companies made a go at filling that void. Sadly nothing was quite what the market wanted as a replacement [Read More…]
Benelli was founded in 1967 and quickly built a reputation for designing and manufacturing well-made firearms. Their attention to detail and willingness to think outside the industry box has proven successful on more than one occasion, especially as of late, and now [Read More…]
Oleg Volk produced a Youtube video with Fostech’s Origin 12, 12 gauge shotgun, shooting through a suppressor, and a drum. It was all over the internet in days and we got a chance to check out the shotgun while at SHOT. Fostech is a family run business that takes [Read More…]
When it comes to guns designed for women there is a definite theme. They tend to be painted pink or purple, sized like a youth model, and a bit lacking overall. Because of that I have a tendency to feel some skepticism when presented with a women’s gun, but today [Read More…]
There were a number of Turkish companies at SHOT, specifically three that I came across while on the lower level. There might have been more among the booths, but these were the ones that I was able to make contact with. You might notice that Uzkon and Deryra have very [Read More…]
Last year Mesa Tactical partnered up with Beretta to make accessories for their shotguns. Well Mesa Tactical just released their new telescoping and hydraulic recoil stock kits for the Beretta 1301 semi-auto shotguns. Their stock kit is actually available in three [Read More…]
It’s official: Remington is now shipping the V3. I covered this last year in a review you guys can see at https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2014/12/31/review-new-2015-remington-v3-shotgun/ (yes, Phil’s name is on it but as you can see by the note at the [Read More…]
Adaptive Tactical had a number of interesting products available for SHOT 2016. The first one is a sort of replacement pump for the Mossberg and Remington pump action shotguns. It is a polymer wraparound pump that incorporates picatinny rails on the top and on the sides [Read More…]
This video came out in March of 2015, but is really a hoot of sorts to watch. Two women in Canada combine their love of skeet shooting and hockey, in addition to a very well choreographed drone camera, and create an excellent video of them hitting clay pigeons while [Read More…]
I was looking at alternate Keltec Shotgun choke adapters and came across these somewhat ridiculous upgrades for the Kel-Tec Shotgun. Yes, that is a rail on a rail you see in the photo above. Tactical pointy thingies for your KSG sums it up. There are tactical chokes for [Read More…]
Here is a not so scientific test, shooting a car door with a shotgun. I can’t quite tell what type of 12Ga round it is, but based on the lack of penetration to the door, I suspect it is bird shot. I am curious what Line-X will do against standard caliber rounds [Read More…]
Chiappa Firearms will show a new Double Badger combo gun at the 2016 SHOT Show next month. The Double Badgers are double barrel long guns arranged in an over-under configuration. The top barrel is rifled and set up for a rimfire cartridge, while the lower barrel is a [Read More…]
I ran across this story recently, and at face value I found it hard to believe, but after some digging it turns out to be true. I’d certainly like some of our Mexican readers to weigh in on it, but within the entire country of Mexico there is one legally operating [Read More…]
I came across this on accident, but there is a Facebook Group, based in Libya that is completely centered around the illicit small arms trade in that country. There is nothing surprising about the huge trade of illicit small arms in war torn countries, but the [Read More…]
I had not originally intended to post this video but after seeing it begin to make a semi-regular appearance on social media, I changed my mind. Its appearance was accompanied with the words “Gotta get me some of these!” rather frequently, a statement [Read More…]
A venture that has been talked about for some time now, is set to launch on January 20th, during SHOT this upcoming year. GunTV is going to be a 24/7 live auction channel where viewers can call in (maybe an online process as well?) and place bids on firearms on the TV [Read More…]
Holland and Holland posted this up last month. A beautiful video showing some of the manufacturing and hand made craftsmanship that goes into their guns.
I cannot help but occasionally cruise Taofledermaus’ YouTube channel ever so often, and I usually end up doing so waiting to see what shotgun load he’s come up with now. In the past they’ve varied from interesting to strange to “don’t try [Read More…]
Hiya all! Its been a long while – I have been reading and commenting, but finally got to do some writing. As many of you know, where I stay is not the kind of place that I can, for example, gather up the loose change in my cupboard, and go buy some more 9mm for [Read More…]
This video was originally from an episode of 60 Minutes. It was documenting the use of marijuana from Vietnam soldiers. I am more concerned about the fact that these soldiers are pointing shotguns at each others’ faces. The pipe appears to function like a chamber [Read More…]
If you or anyone you know of, live in South Carolina and have experienced a firearms theft, it might be worth a shot to contact the authorities in Pageland, South Carolina with the description and serial number of the firearm. A man was recently caught with a warehouse [Read More…]
So a strapping young lad that goes by the username of MyDifferentUserName on Youtube, has over the years come out with over a hundred different LEGO 1:1 scale reproductions that have controls that function, but don’t actually propel a LEGO projectile or similar [Read More…]
