With some good instruction, Ava gave the Savage .17 HMR a try for her first-ever attempt at shooting anything. But, with a sandbag rest and one practice shot, she managed to hit the target at a distance of 75 yards. Well done! Just a scant inch or so off center! Target is lower center.
Ava Hits the Mark

Tampa, FL – B&T USA is excited to introduce its 16-inch barreled model of its all-new SPC9-series. Born from a European tender requesting a 9mm carbine with the same handling characteristics and ergonomics as the AR platform; the all-new SPC9 incorporates many of the features found on the B&T APC9, MP5 and?AR platforms combined into one, very versatile platform. Lightweight and reliable, well balanced and accurate, safe and modular — the SPC9 checks all the boxes and is one of the lightest recoiling 9mm carbines available, thanks in part to B&T’s innovative and effective hydraulic buffer system.
“The new 16-inch barreled SPC9 is a PCC competitors dream — the carbine is incredibly flat shooting, handles like a race car and has minimal recoil thanks to B&T’s effective hydraulic buffer system” said Jon Scott, Vice President of Sales, B&T USA. “We expect the SPC9 16-inch to dominate both at home and on the competitive field, thanks to an ideal formula of features. Those in search of a premium home defense solution would be well served by this very lightweight, well balanced and incredibly easy to shoot well platform — flatteringly so. Most importantly the SPC9 has a proven record of reliability, produced by a company who has built its reputation on being dependable in the most austere conditions imaginable.”
Some of the features found on the SPC9 are time proven while others are state-of-the-art and modern. One of the unique features of SPC9-series is that it is equipped with two different charging handle systems. One of these is the handle found on AR platforms, while the other is a non-reciprocating, foldable charging handle located above the barrel. This gives the user the choice to use whatever manual of arms that is preferred; both systems are ambidextrous. Read more
NEWTOWN, Conn. — NSSF®, the firearm industry trade association, listened with keen interest to President Joe Biden’s nomination of Steve Dettelbach for Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). NSSF has long-advocated that the ATF needs a U.S. Senate-confirmed director, and that person must be an individual who will faithfully execute the duties of regulating the firearm industry in accordance with established laws and regulations. Any nominee for this position of public trust, that has direct oversight of how law-abiding Americans are able to exercise their Second Amendment rights, must be a person wedded to the rule of law, and one that will not politicize the ATF to advance a partisan gun control agenda that exceeds what is established in law by the U.S. Congress.
NSSF is committed to a thorough examination of Dettelbach’s record and qualifications and will listen carefully to his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. NSSF has significant concerns regarding Dettelbach’s previous public statements supporting bans on Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs), or AR-15 semiautomatic rifles, universal background checks, which are unworkable without a national firearm registry that is already forbidden by federal law, and extreme-risk protection orders, or so-called “red flag” laws, without protections for Due Process considerations. Dettelbach was also previously endorsed by the gun control group, Everytown for Gun Safety, for his support for policies restricting Second Amendment rights. Read more
HARTFORD, CT – Yesterday, the Biden administration announced the final ruling for ATF 2021R-05, “Definition of ‘Frame or Receiver’ and Identification of Firearms.” Among its provisions, the ruling will effectively eliminate the distribution of “80% kits” and require FFLs and gunsmiths to serialize such firearms upon acquisition. The rule will go into effect 120 days from the date of publication in the Federal Register. The President also announced his nomination of Steve Dettelbach to serve as Director of ATF.
“This ruling will have significant regulatory and operational impacts on FFLs, gun owners and the entire firearms industry,” said Phil Milks, Orchid VP and Lead Attorney at FFL Law. “It’s imperative firearm manufacturers and retailers review the ruling in detail and evaluate their manufacturing, serialization and recordkeeping processes to ensure compliance when the new regulations go into effect. We urge FFLs to contact Orchid to learn more about this ruling and how it may affect their firearms business.”
Following the announcement, Orchid LLC and Williams Mullen’s Firearms Industry Group have organized a 90-minute discussion at the 2022 Firearms Industry Conference (FIC), to be held in Atlanta on April 26–27, in which ATF executives will review the new ruling and take moderated questions from conference attendees. Agency personnel will also be available during scheduled regulatory breakout sessions and private FFL/ATF meetings. Read more
Knowing the propensity of folks to add muzzle devices to guns including 22-trainers, they gave users a threaded barrel – covered, so you could get the gun apart easily if you’re not adding stuff to the front of the gun. They supplied the thread adapter so you could add stuff to the front of the gun.If you want even more gear slung onto the front of the pistol, there’s a section of rail for a dust cover for your favorite gun light, laser or whatever.They use fiber optic sights front and back, as well as making the rear sight adjustable for windage and elevation. Or you can simply remove the rear sight/cover plate and attach an optic … like the SIG ROMEOZero (without any adapter plates).After the visual shooting solution, you may find the trigger isn’t to your liking – if you don’t like the flat-faced trigger. It seems that’s the ‘in’ thing, but they provide a curved trigger shoe for those who are flat trigger averse.The slide stop and manual safety (calm down, it’s a rimfire trainer) are bilateral, appearing on both sides of the pistol. The magazine release button can be reversed.
The gun, while appearing to be a striker-fired job, is (like most rimfire trainers of my acquaintance) hammer-fired. They call it ‘single-action,’ meaning that the press of the trigger only releases the hammer from the sear allowing the gun to fire. There are front- and rear cocking serrations, a fluted chamber (don’t recall seeing those since HK centerfire autoloaders) and the gun ships with a magazine-loading assistant.That’s likely to be handy when you’re loading twenty-round magazines. And, 25-round magazines are apparently being made as well.
That’s gotten you caught up to date on the new gun. Except for the price. While it wasn’t in stock at Cabela’s, where I looked online, the price was listed as just under $400. Read more
