3.0 Carbine Drill: Practical Exercise For The M1 Carbine

3.0 Carbine Drill: Practical Exercise For The M1 Carbine

I have always had a soft spot for the M1 carbine. The '.30 carbine' combines history, utility, handiness and sheer fun in a way few other long guns can match. I was excited to see a wave of surplus M1s make their way back home in the last couple of years. Every shooter should get to experience and enjoy the prolific, little long arm of the Second World War. Read More

Gun Of The Week: Ruger SFAR

Gun Of The Week: Ruger SFAR

In this episode of "Gun Of The Week," we're on the range with Ruger's Small-Frame Autoloading Rifle or SFAR. This is an AR-15-size rifle chambered for the short-action .308 Winchester, and that means Ruger's packed a lot of power into a pretty small package. Credit where credit's due, Ruger's not the first company to come out with this rifle concept. Patriot Ordnance Factory has been out with several shrunken AR-10-style rifles over the last few years, and while these are great guns, they cost a bit more than most folks would like to spend.

Prior to the 1850s, the British military was still largely armed with a .75-cal. smoothbore musket, and despite a change from flintlock to percussion priming, the shoulder arm of the 1840s wasn't all that different from the flintlock Brown Bess made famous on the battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars in the early years of the 19th century.
