In today’s episode, we follow Miles to Shot Show 2018 Media Day at the Range and visit the UTAS booth.

TFBTV’s Corey Wardrop certifiably geeks out over emergent technology with Cheston at Phone Skope. Unlike previous offerings from the company, which primarily consisted of phone attachments to spotting scopes, Skoped Vision attaches directly to (and in a way – in between) a rifle scope.

At the 2017 Association of the United States Army annual meeting, gunmaker FB Radom was present at the Polish pavilion, displaying their MSBS modular assault rifle, recently named “Grot” (arrowhead) by the Polish government. The new rifle has been selected by the Polish government to replace their legacy AK fleet, many of which are the upgraded 5.56mm “Beryl” variant. The first order for the new rifles was signed in mid-September, and will result in the delivery of 53,000 rifles to the Polish government, which is expected to be completed by the end of November.

The effort to deregulate of silencers has reached an important milestone: The Hearing Protection Act has made it out of committee, and been incorporated as part of another larger bill. House Resolution 3668 – the Sportsmen Heritage and Recreational Enhancement (SHARE) Act – has been introduced to the House floor with a new subsection, Title XV, Hearing Protection. The new subsection provides for the change in classification of silencers from NFA items to standard firearms such as long guns, just like the HPA. Its text is reproduced at the bottom of this post.

The Firearm Blog would like to extend its thanks to reader and contributor Giorgio, who lent his journalistic services to us at this years IDEX conference in Abu Dhabi in February. Thanks, Giorgio!

The new designs include bags, hydration packs, backpacks, and others fitting the hunting and sporting fields. Those products will be coming out in Mossy Oak Break Up, Break Up Infinity, and Break Up Country. Break Up Country, Mossy Oaks’ newest, will be available early on in the fall season. Blending in and having the ability to pack in what you need in a quality bag are important factors for all hunters, so the new OGIO line is bound to enjoy a good send-off when the weather starts to cool down come September.
