The Resurgence Of Firearm Engraving

The Resurgence Of Firearm Engraving

In my closet is a 20-ga. Lefever Nitro Special shotgun that belonged to my father. Dad was quite pleased with this little gun, with which he took a lot of rabbits. It has a little roll stamping on both sides, an image of a goose flying low over a marsh. Why a goose, I will never understand; this little 20 gauge would be no more use on goose, I suppose, than throwing bricks at them. Read More

Gun Of The Week: Taurus USA 605 T.O.R.O.

Gun Of The Week: Taurus USA 605 T.O.R.O.

In this week's video (above), watch American Rifleman staff on the range and learn about an optics-ready wheelgun from Taurus USA that's chambered for the heavy-hitting .357 Magnum cartridge. Taurus has an extensive background in revolver manufacturing. Though the Brazilian company began producing revolvers in the 1940s, it wasn't until the mid-1950s that export models began showing up on American shores. In 1962, Smith & Wesson's parent company purchased a controlling interest in Taurus, and the Brazilian firm benefited from Smith's experience. Consequently, many Taurus revolvers, even today, share some similarities with Smith & Wesson designs. Today, though, Taurus USA is forging its own path in the firearm market, and one result of the company's focus on innovation is the 605 T.O.R.O. Watch the video above to see Taurus' optic-ready revolver in use on the range. Read More

I Have This Old Gun: Astra 600/43

After the fall of France in 1940, Germany occupied not just the country's northern coast but also the entirety of its western coast, in a corridor stretching all the way to the Spanish border.

Hammerli & International Handgun Competition

Hammerli & International Handgun Competition

Within the world of Olympic competition arms, Hammerli is one of the great names that, sadly, has faded into relative obscurity, along with the once-dominant sport of international pistol competition. Both the company and the discipline had their roots in the 19th century, though Hammerli started earlier and continues its existence today, albeit wrapped within the Umarex family of firearm manufacturers.

I Have This Old Gun: The Lee-Enfield Carbines

I Have This Old Gun: The Lee-Enfield Carbines

The British military adopted a revolutionary bolt-action battle rifle at the end of the 1880s, but in this late Victorian period, cavalry arms had to be designed differently than infantry arms. Because of this, the first Lee-Metfords and Lee-Enfields were divided into longer rifles for the infantry and shorter, sleeker carbines for the cavalry. Watch our "American Rifleman Television" I Have This Old Gun segment above to learn more about the Lee-Enfield carbines. Read More
