Tonight the American Rifleman TV crew finds itself in Springfield, Mass., manufacturing home of legendary Smith & Wesson revolvers. See the history of these storied guns, from the early Model 10 all the way up to the brand's X-Frame models like the 500. Watch a preview of tonight's episode. 











"Rifleman Review" looks at a 4 lb. semi-automatic rimfire rifle, the Winchester Wildcat .22.





And this week's "I Have This Old Gun" features an icon of the British Empire, the Martini-Henry Rifles.
