Fairfax, VA- Today, the National Rifle Association (NRA) filed a lawsuit against the NRA Foundation, asserting the NRA’s ownership of the intellectual property used by the foundation. The case, known as NRA v. the NRA Foundation, seeks to hold The NRA Foundation’s leadership accountable for operating in bad faith and withholding funds meant to support the NRA’s charitable activities. The complaint alleges that current NRA Foundation leadership is misleading donors who believe they are donating to support the National Rifle Association’s mission, when in fact, these funds are not being provided to the organization.

“This is a disappointing day, and it should not have come to this,”said Doug Hamlin, NRA CEO and Executive Vice President. “A foundation established to support the National Rifle Association of America has taken actions that are adversarial at a time when the NRA is rebuilding and focused on its long-term mission. I am deeply disappointed that these steps were taken, leaving no reasonable alternative. This action represents a last resort. The NRA’s brand and intellectual property exist solely to benefit the National Rifle Association of America, its members, all law-abiding gun owners, and its programs and services. For generations, donors across the United States contributed funds with the clear expectation that those resources would support NRA educational and public-interest programs. It is unacceptable that those programs are now being placed at risk by actions that conflict with donor intent and the responsibilities of the foundation’s board of trustees.”

Since the NRA established the NRA Foundation in 1990, the foundation has funded the NRA’s educational and charitable programs, such as the NRA National Firearms Museum and Eddie Eagle GunSafe program. Funding for those programs and other has been thrown into jeopardy by the foundation’s current leaders, mostly former NRA directors who were allied with prior leadership and who presided over the scandals and financial improprieties. When NRA members voted to elect a new leadership committed to reform, transparency, and member accountability, the foundation’s hold-over leaders sought to end the foundation’s affiliate relationship with the NRA and now seek to substantially curtail its support of the NRA—notwithstanding that its assets were raised by the NRA, using the NRA name and trademarks, for the benefit of the NRA’s charitable programs. The NRA’s lawsuit seeks rulings preventing the Foundation from infringing the NRA’s trademarks, misappropriating funds contributed to support the NRA’s charitable programs, and blocking the foundation’s attempt to break away from the NRA.

BUENA VISTA, GA – Armageddon Gear’s original Big Game Chest Rig was built with hunters in mind, simple, tough, and practical. It featured two dump pockets designed for tags, wind checkers, rangefinders, gloves, or whatever else the day demanded. And for a long time, that setup did exactly what it was supposed to do. But as more hunters put miles on it, one request kept coming back: “I love this rig… I just need a place for my pistol.” Instead of forcing a compromise or bolting on something awkward, Armageddon Gear did what they always do, went back to the drawing board and built a purpose-driven solution. That solution is the Gun Slinger Chest Rig, offered alongside the original Big Game Chest Rig for hunters who want sidearm carry built in from the start.

The Gun Slinger is constructed primarily from Armageddon Gear’s signature double-waxed canvas, chosen for its durability, weather resistance, and quiet performance in the field. Webbing straps keep the rig secure and comfortable without excess bulk, while the binocular compartment uses a magnetic closure for fast, silent access when seconds count. On the carry side, the Gun Slinger features a dedicated pistol holster, positioned for balance and accessibility, and opposite it sits a single dump pocket perfect for essentials without overcrowding the rig.

As the United States of America nears its 250th anniversary, Henry Repeating Arms is announcing the release of The Spirit of ’76 Semiquincentennial Edition, a museum-grade, limited-edition rifle honoring the nation’s founding and the ideals that shaped it. Limited to just 250 rifles, this exclusive offering stands among the most refined and historically significant firearms ever produced by the company.

The rifle is built on the legendary New Original Henry platform, a line-for-line reproduction of the world’s first lever-action rifle patented by Benjamin Tyler Henry in 1860, save for the modifications needed to accommodate the more modern .44-40 WCF cartridge it’s chambered for.

At the heart of the rifle is a nickel-plated brass receiver, fully engraved and selectively highlighted in 24-karat gold, serving as a canvas for a sweeping visual narrative of the American Revolution. The engravings depict pivotal moments and enduring symbols of independence, including Revolutionary War battlefield scenes, Independence Hall, the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Betsy Ross flag, a majestic bald eagle, and an engraved rendering of the battle sword carried by George Washington.

The rifle is fitted with a polished blued steel one-piece octagon barrel and 13-round magazine tube, and features a buttstock crafted from hand-selected rosewood, personally chosen by Henry Repeating Arms Founder and CEO Anthony Imperato for its richness and character. Completing the rifle is a nickel-plated brass crescent buttplate with a period-correct trapdoor, underscoring the historical authenticity of the design.

“This extraordinary country that we are so privileged to live and do business in was founded by ordinary people with an unshakable belief in their God-given right to freedom,” said Imperato. “With this rifle, we wanted to create something that honors their courage and conviction. Something worthy of being preserved, passed down, and remembered long after this anniversary has passed.”

Each rifle is individually serialized from USA250TH001 to USA250TH250 and is only available factory-direct for $4,115.
