Scholarly Article: Constitution Protects Self-Made Arms

Based on original research, “The American Tradition of Self-Made Arms” explains how the Second Amendment protects the right to self-manufacture arms, including firearms commonly referred to as so-called “ghost guns.”

The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced today a timely new scholarly article on the Second Amendment right to self-manufacture arms, including firearms. “The American Tradition of Self-Made Arms” is based on original research by FPC’s director of constitutional studies, Joseph Greenlee, and traces the right from Colonial America through modern times.

Greenlee’s article is especially important as litigation on the subject increases due to recent, unconstitutional changes in the law in some anti-rights jurisdictions like Delaware, Nevada, and New Jersey. The article can be found on FPC’s website here and on SSRN here. For information on FPC’s litigation to protect the right of individuals to self-build firearms, please visit FPCLegal.org.

The Four Parts of “The American Tradition of Self-made Arms”

The article’s first section examines what the Supreme Court has said about protected arms, and emphasizes that all common arms are protected, regardless of how the arm was obtained. Read more

Springfield Armory SAINT Edge ATC

GENESEO, ILL. – Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the launch of the SAINT® Edge ATC in .223 Wylde. The ATC, which stands for “Accurized Tactical Chassis,” delivers guaranteed sub-MOA accuracy for three shots with match-grade ammunition and a skilled shooter.

Designed to deliver maximum precision from the AR platform, the SAINT Edge ATC features a patented chassis system made up of a one-piece monolithic lower machined from 6061 T6 aluminum. The free-floated design ensures that the barrel, barrel nut and gas system are totally free from any contact with the lower chassis. Further enhancing the precision performance of the ATC is the Accu-Tite™ Plus tensioning system, featuring an adjustable set of conical set screws in the lower that eliminate any play between the upper receiver and lower chassis.

The SAINT Edge ATC is offered in a standard black model as well as an Elite Coyote Brown variant. In addition to the Cerakote Coyote Brown finish, the Elite variant features a LaRue 2-Stage trigger and collapsible B5 Systems Precision Stock. The standard model comes with a B5 Systems Enhanced SOPMOD collapsible stock and a flat modular match trigger. A B5 Systems Type 23 P-Grip and 20-round Magpul® PMAG® complete the package on both versions.

Both ATC’s feature an 18” barrel in .223 Wylde manufactured by Ballistic Advantage, giving the rifle a high-performance foundation for maximum accuracy. Featuring a 1:7” rate of twist and a rugged Melonite® coating, the 18” barrel provides impressive ballistics and amazing downrange performance. The .223 Wylde chamber provides the ability to fire both .223 and 5.56 NATO, but with a chamber throat that is tight enough to wring the most performance out of match-grade ammunition. Read more

Trulock: Guide to Patterning with Choke Tubes for Waterfowlers

Whigham, GA – In order to see the results of a quality pattern when patterning a shotgun, there are two equally-important elements needed that the experts at TrulockÔ Choke Tubes have found. One is a high-quality choke tube, like those sold at Trulock, and the other is a high-quality shotshell. Picking a lesser quality choke tube or a lesser quality shotshell will give poor results. When choosing choke tubes, choose TrulockÔ Choke Tubes with no frills, no gimmicks and no hype, just solid guaranteed performance or your money back.

Here is an example for waterfowl hunters. The photo below shows a Trulock 12-ga Precision Hunter Modified, Winchoke, Browning Inv., Mossberg 500 series with a Federal Black Cloud shotshell giving an 88 percent pattern density at 40 yards. See more details about this pattern here.

Trulock designs, builds, and tests all their choke tubes at their facility in Whigham, Georgia, using state-of-the-art CNC manufacturing. That process has allowed them to develop these chokes with special exit diameters that produce dense, hard-hitting patterns in all 12-gauge loads suitable for waterfowl hunting. Read more

“Shotgun Report Technoid” Bruce Buck Answers Questions

Whigham, GA – At Trulock Choke Tubes, we know our customers have many questions on patterning with differing shot sizes, shot column length and load size, do buffered loads help and more, which is why an article by the Shotgun Report Technoid, Bruce Buck titled, “Bunch of Questions,” hit the proverbial nail on customer questions. We reached out to Bruce and received permission to reprint the article to share. It was originally posted on the Shotgun Report on September 14, 2021.

Dear Technoid,

Perhaps this frisky little question is worthy of the Volcano of Knowledge? Actually, a couple of questions:

1) Will smaller size shot, say #8 or 7-1/2, deform more or less than #4 shot, in example, affecting patterning adversely?

2) Will a 1 oz. lead charge deform more in a smaller gauge, 16 or 20, due to the longer “stack height” of the pellets?

3) Is height of the pellet stack a minus re: 3? and 3-1/2? magnum loads?

4) Has the Technoid found any evidence that buffered loads do any good?

5) The Omnipotent Technoid has stated that copper-plated shot seems to slide its way through game, proving less effective than lead. Does the copper do much re: reduction in pellet deformation?

6) And finally (are you glad!), can the Technoid speculate as to the rise and fall of the popularity of the 16 gauge? Just picked up an A-5 Sweet Sixteen, and really enjoy popping clays with it.

7) Oops, one more – can the Technoid recall approximate shot cloud sizes at forty yards for 1 oz. launched through 12, 16, and 20 ga., assuming “modified” choke performance?

Thanks Bruce, for all your help!

Randy
