#Browning

Browning representatives were able to show TFB TV some of the latest rifles and ammunition from Browning and Browning Ammunition. The Max Long Range rifle is built on the previous X-Bolt operating system with a few changes. Barrel length is 26 inches and it has a threaded muzzle for the mounting of suppressors. The stock is adjustable for length of pull through the use of spacers, in addition to an adjustable cheek rest. MSRP is between $1100-$1200.

The Browning X-Bolt has been on the market for close to 10 years now and the semi-custom variant of the X-Bolt Pro was introduced back in 2017. Now Browning has unveiled a newer iteration for 2019 with the X-Bolt Pro Long Range! This new offering boasts a muzzle brake, Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish and a host of other high quality features. The X-Bolt Pro Long Range looks to meld the strength of stalwart hunting calibers in a long-range, accurate package.

Browning have introduced the latest in their line of Citori over and under sporting shotguns. The 12 gauge Citori White Lightning combines a silver nitride finished steel receiver with intricate engraving, polished blued barrels, oil finish grade III or IV walnut furniture and extended black band Invector-Plus choke tubes.

Nighthawk Custom is known for their firearm masterpieces that are borderline pieces of artwork. An equally prestigious arms maker in his own right is Doug Turnbull of Turnbull Restoration. If you combine the ability and craftsmanship of these two entities, you could get something truly incredible. Like, the Browning Hi-Power Turnbull VIP 2, which is the newest pistol introduced through Nighthawk Custom’s VIP Line of firearms.

Without much fanfare the production of one of the most important pistol designs of the 20th century has ended. Browning have ceased production of the iconic Hi-Power.

Lone Wolf Distributors has been around for a while and have always been known for their Glock accessories, especially their Glock triggers. A few months back we posted about Lone Wolf Distributor’s foray into the S&W accessory market with their AlphaWolf barrels for the M&P Shield in both 9mm and .40 S&W. This time around they’ve released a replacement barrel for another pistol, the venerable Browning Hi-Power.

Earlier this year, Browning introduced a new X-Bolt Pro rifle that it is calling a semi-custom production gun. These rifles have, according to Browning, improved construction and features as compared to the existing X-Bolt line of bolt action firearms.

Texas company True Velocity, LLC, has released the first images of their advanced lightweight polymer composite cased ammunition design via Instagram. Training company BAT Defense sent out an image of what appear to be 12.7×108, .50 BMG, and 5.56mm rounds made by True Velocity, saying that the ammunition was originally developed to reduce the weight of ammunition carried by light helicopters (such as Littlebirds).

In time for fall hunting and camping, Browning released a number of fixed blade knives designed for the outdoorsman.

Browning offers a wide range of shooting accessories to make the sport more enjoyable. From hunting gear to flashlights, the company seems to offer a little bit of everything for many shooters.

Browning offers a wide range of firearms and shooting accessories. Some of the soft goods the company manufactures are highly respected by shooters. One of the company’s successful lines of long gun accessories is the Flexible Gun Case series.

While exploring the Springfield Armory Museum’s online archive I stumbled across an interesting experimental modification made to an M1918A2 BAR. The archival entries don’t offer much information but the photographs show an experimental kit developed to enable the BAR to be mounted on a tripod.

In this fourteenth installment of Personal Defense Weapon Calibers, we’ll be looking at a highly minimalist incarnation of the PDW/SMG round: The 7.65x20mm French Longue. The story of the French Longue begins with the US entry to World War I and the brilliant inventors John D. Pedersen and John Moses Browning. Faced with the stalemate of trench warfare, these designers were tasked with finding a solution in the form of handheld autoloading weapons. Both came up with semiautomatic rifles firing small, low recoil .30 caliber rounds. Pedersen’s “Device” converted a standard M1903 rifle into a rapid fire semiautomatic, but it was Browning’s autoloading rifle and its .30-18 round (very similar to the .30 Pedersen used with the “Device”) which caught the eye of the French Ordnance officials. The .30-18 Browning, as it is called, was evidently cloned to become the 7.65x20mm Longue used with the interwar French Mle. 1935 pistols and MAS-38 submachine gun.
