.300 BLK Cleaning System from Otis

January 23, 2013

The new 300 BLK Cleaning System was specifically created by Otis to clean rifles chambered in the increasingly popular .300 AAC Blackout. .300 Blackout and .300 Whisper cartridges for the AR-platform are flying off of shelves, but they can also be some of the dirtiest rounds in the industry. Otis saw that, and the .300 BLK kit was born.

Winchester Marine Defender

January 23, 2013

Winchester rolled out a couple additions to its SXP line at SHOT Show 2013, and the new Marine Defender was among them. Though it was conceived with harsh maritime environments in mind, the Marine Defender should appeal to anyone that's looking for a self-defense shotgun for their home. The gun includes a removable TRUGLO fiber-optic sight, a hard-chromed chamber and a matte-chromed barrel and magazine tube. The barrel is threaded to accept the Invector-Plus choke tube system and arrives with a cylinder bore choke installed.

Where Have All the Hammers Gone?

January 23, 2013

No, I was not suggesting a title for a new folk song when I wrote that line. In a recent phone conversation with American Rifleman editor Mark Keefe, we were both perplexed about the absence of hammers on new automatic pistols. Almost everything in the way of new designs is a striker-fired pistol. Sure, hammers persist on still-produced classics like the 1911 and Browning Hi Power, as well as several veterans of the Wondernine Wars like the Beretta and SIG Sauer. But look at the basic 9 mm service pistols of Glock, S&W, Springfield, Ruger, Taurus, Caracel and possibly others. They all use some form of spring-loaded, in-line striker that moves straight forward to smack the primer, rather than a floating firing pin that is struck by a pivoting hammer. Why?

Weatherby's Vanguard Series 2 Back Country Rifle

January 22, 2013

The original Back Country, introduced five years ago, had a stainless-steel barrel and a pillar-bedded stock. The new Weatherby Vanguard Series 2 Back Country has a 24" fluted-barrel featuring chrome moly metalwork with a CeraKote Tactical Grey finish that is extremely weather resistant, and avoids corrosion. The pillar-bedded, Monte Carlo composite stock has spiderweb accents. This rifle is 6.75 lbs., which is perfect for the hunter who plans to put a ton of bootprints on the ground and needs something a little lighter.
