Colt, based in West Hartford, Conn., has a long history of revolvers, and it has recently brought its classic double-action lines back into production. In this week's feature, get a behind-the-scenes look and how Colt produces these revolvers today.

For "Rifleman Review", we test the affordable Kel-Tec P17 semi-automatic, polymer-framed, pistol chambered in .22 Long Rifle. The P17 uses interesting manufacturing techniques incorporated into its design to help keep the cost as low as possible without compromising function.

Later for "I Have This Old Gun," we examine the history of the Czechmade and German-used, Gewehr 33/40. Based off the Mauser 98K and chambered for the same full-power 7.92 mm rifle cartridge, the G33/40 was a lighter carbine used for mountain troops during World War II.
