NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, together with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Department of Justice (DOJ), announced a month-long public education campaign reminding the Greater St. Louis area public about stiff penalties facing individuals convicted of unlawful firearm purchases. The “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy” campaign is in its 23rd year and drives home the message that anyone making an illegal firearm purchase faces a federal felony penalty of up to 15 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines. An additional 15 years can be added if the illegal straw purchase is made with the intent of trafficking across state lines. The program is funded in full by the firearm industry and will now also include federal funding allocated to ATF by Congress. St. Louis was chosen for this specific campaign by ATF. Read more

JK Armament is proud to announce the exclusive launch of the JK 195 SGX 12G and VERSAX 12G Shotgun Suppressor with Silencershop.com. “We were after a practical shotgun suppressor. We wanted it light, affordable and mission configurable” said JK’s Founder and Director of R&D, Jake Kunsky. The unique patented baffle design is mission configurable and features Tone Technology, giving users the flexibility and superior sound suppression needed. “We’re proud to announce this exclusive suppressor that benefits shotgun owners and hunters alike” said Silencer Shop’s Founder and CEO, Dave Matheny.

About the SGX and Versax 12G: The JK Armament SGX 12G is configurable from 3.75” to 11.75” and weighs 4.3oz-16oz. The VersaX 12G is a smaller version of the SGX 12G and can be arranged from 3.75” to 7.9” and 4.3oz-9.3oz. Both use the same patented trumpet-style baffles, and swappable internal choke end caps, which keep the shot cup and wad together as the shot travels through the suppressor, increasing velocity, accuracy down range, and ensuring the plastic doesn’t fall back into the suppressor or host. Each suppressor ships with an improved cylinder choke. The choke end caps are also available in skeet, modified, and full.

The CRMD (Choke, Replacement, Muzzle Device): To mount your suppressor to your shotgun host, the JK Bald Eagle 12G replaces your choke tube and threads into your barrel. JK also offers a custom barrel threading service for those in need. The current CRMD’s are threaded for Rem Choke, Benelli Crio Style, Benelli Mobil Style, Beretta Optima HP, Browning Invector Plus, and Mossberg 500 Style. If your choke is different, JK also offers custom choke services to ensure everyone can suppress their shotgun host.

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is proud to announce the release of the Marlin® Model 336™ Classic.

“The legendary Model 336 helped to build Marlin Firearms into the iconic American brand that it is today,” said Ruger President and CEO, Chris Killoy. “We have worked for many months on every detail to ensure that Ruger’s reintroduction of this iconic rifle lives up to its stellar reputation.”

Chambered in .30-30 Win., the Model 336 Classic sports a beautifully finished American black walnut stock and forend. Crisp, clean checkering on both the stock and forend improve the appearance and grip of the rifle. The stock’s black pistol grip cap is inset with a Marlin Horse and Rider medallion and the forend is attached using a barrel band.

The alloy steel rifle is richly blued, features a standard-sized finger lever and has a six-round magazine capacity. The 20.25” barrel is cold hammer-forged, which improves longevity and yields ultra-precise rifling for exceptional accuracy. Like the classic 336, this rifle features the gold-colored trigger.

“Our focus continues to be on quality,” continued Killoy. “We remain committed to making firearms that are rugged, reliable and can proudly be handed down for many generations. The Model 336 is no exception.” Read more

(Cocoa, Florida) Florida based company, European American Amory Corporation, the world’s leading importer of European firearms has made it their mission to bring the U.S. consumer firearms that are on the cutting edge of technology and quality. The new MC 14 T by Girsan focuses on ease of use and high capacity in a very compact design.

Thanks to the Tip-Up design (no slide racking required) loading and firing the MC 14 T is simple and quick, using very minimal moving parts to go from loading to firing. “With the MC 14 T we wanted a handgun that was not only small and compact but also allowed people that may have issues with racking a slide the ability to carry.” said Chase Duffey, National Sales & Import Manager at EAA Corp. “Small enough for a purse, easy to load, and carries 13 in the magazine… it really is the perfect defensive pistol.” Keith Bernkrant, President of EAA stated, “Once we started to work with the MC 14 T we quickly realized that loading and unloading, as well as training, is easier with a Tip-Up design pistol as it simply eliminates the need to rack the slide altogether. I wish that we had worked on this project earlier after seeing just how simple and intuitive it is. The Tip-Up barrel with its external safety, external hammer and auto firing pin block, is the solution to many pistol owner’s issues and simple safe carry.”

Available in .380 ACP with a 13+1 capacity the Girsan MC 14 T is the perfect handgun for concealed carry, especially for people that may have issues using a standard pistol. Loading and firing is as easy as 1-2-3. One of the most important features however may be the price! With an MSRP starting at $498, everyone can afford to be safe. Dealer orders are being accepted now and they will be available for purchase at finer sporting goods and firearm stores nationwide soon.
