This semi-automatic sniper rifle, built on the AR-15 platform, was previously only available to the military. The MK-18 includes a number of innovative and proprietary design features, such as its self-regulating piston system. This system removes carbon fouling from the upper receiver and bolt carrier assembly.

Additional innovative features include an ambi-bolt catch/release pad located near the lower-front portion of the trigger well. This feature allows the shooter to easily lock or release the bolt with their trigger finger from a more natural shooting position. The SWORD MK-18 is further enhanced by the fold-down side charging handle, which gives the operator a much wider range of options when it comes to mounting optics. Additionally, the side charging handle makes running the rifle smoother and more instinctive than what standard AR-15 charging handle designs allow.

The SWORD MK-18 rifle is available in .338 Lapua Mag., .338 Norma Mag., and .300 Norma Mag. Now available nationwide, this rifle has a MSRP of $6,995.00. Read more

Ottsville, PA – Krieghoff, world renowned manufacturer of high-quality competition shotguns, unveils the new K-80/S “Summers End” at the 2018 NSCA Sporting Clays Nationals. A timeless classic, the K-80 has a proven design requiring few technical modifications in its four-decade history stemming from the original K-32. Recently designers envisioned the idea of adding sideplates to provide a “new” classic look of the sideplate and sidelock guns of the past with graceful lines and identical in all other aspects. The very limited edition gives room for elaborate works of art providing engravers an expanded canvas to the K-80 receiver.

Master Engraver Hendrik Frühauf was commissioned to engrave the very first K-80S for its debut. Known for his exquisitely detailed work seen both on Krieghoff Guns of the Year and various custom projects, Frühauf designed an engraving that reveals more with each new glance.

The first Krieghoff K-80/S takes us to summer’s end with wild flowers and wheat in their full enameled and gold beauty. A wingshooter’s dream of pheasants, quail and woodcock adorn the receiver, top latch and trigger guard. Reverse gold gives the golden feeling of summer’s last days and the anticipation of the upcoming hunting season. Read more

(Greeley, PA) – Thompson Auto-Ordnance, maker of the famous “Tommy Gun” and other classic firearms throughout history, is excited to introduce the special edition WWII themed Tanker Thompson.

“Built like a tank” is a phrase that has entered the American lexicon as a means to describe hardware that is durable, strong and nearly indestructible. The term may have originated in describing armored fighting vehicles, but it also clearly describes the Tommy Gun. It is only fitting then, that Auto-Ordnance continue the series of WWII commemorative guns with the “Tanker Thompson,” dedicated to the memory of the brave American soldiers who faced the enemy in steel chariots like the M4 Sherman Tank.

Nearly 50,000 Shermans were produced during World War II, seeing action primarily in Europe against Nazi Germany. Just like the Thompson, these Shermans were a vital part of the war effort. Though the crews that took them into harm’s way were often outgunned by German tanks, they took the fight to the enemy and achieved victory despite the odds.

Auto-Ordnance is proud to honor America’s armored warriors with this commemorative Thompson. Each Tanker Thompson is Cerakoted in Army O.D. Green. The white star of the Sherman Tank is engraved just in front of the magwell. The “U.S.” logo is engraved on the buttstock. Like every Thompson, the gun is all steel with high grade walnut furniture. The 16” barrel is exceptionally accurate. Owning the Tanker Thompson gives the modern shooter the opportunity to own a piece of history while honoring the memory of the brave tank crews who delivered on America’s promise to achieve final victory in World War II.

The Tanker Thompson, model TM1C1, is chambered in .45 ACP, features a walnut fixed stock with U.S. logo and vertical foregrip. It comes with 30-round and 20-round stick magazines, Kerr sling and a mag pouch. Contact your local firearms dealer to order your Tanker WWII Thompson! MSRP is $1749. Read more

NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the trade association for the firearms, ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industries, released its 2018 Congressional Scorecard in advance of the upcoming midterm elections to assist voters when deciding which incumbent candidates, based on their voting records, are most likely to support their ability to purchase firearms and to exercise their Constitutional rights.

The scorecard is an assessment of several years of voting records on 10 key issues affecting firearms, ammunition, hunting and the shooting sports. It can be found by visiting www.nssf.org, then clicking the tabs for Government Relations and then Legislative Action Center. The voting records include such issues as concealed carry reciprocity, expanding access to public hunting lands and votes on Supreme Court nominees.

The score reflects the voting record and is not an endorsement of a particular candidate.
“The National Shooting Sports Foundation is following a practice similar to that of other trade associations that report on how candidates voted on issues impacting their ability to conduct the lawful commerce in arms and encouraging participation in hunting and the shooting sports,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel for Government and Public Affairs. “It was clear in the last presidential election that the ability to freely exercise Second Amendment rights and fully participate in the shooting sports was a deciding factor for many voters. Members of our industry, gun owners and sportsmen and sportswomen are strongly urged to participate in this election and should be fully informed of how their prospective Members of Congress vote on the issues impacting their livelihood and recreational activities.”

The scorecard is an extension of NSSF’s #GUNVOTE® voter education campaign. #GUNVOTE allows voters to enter their information and find out who their candidates are, where they stand on firearms-related issues and steps to cast a ballot. NSSF urges all voters, “Don’t Risk Your Rights” and visit www.gunvote.org. Read more

Priest River, ID: Lone Wolf Distributors announces the pre-sale of new Timberwolf Large 10mm/45ACP polymer frame.

For the past few years, Lone Wolf has been talking about the release of a 10mm/45ACP sized frame in their Timberwolf polymer frame line. According to a recent email release from Lone Wolf: “the time for talking up “vaporware” has passed!” The new Timberwolf Large frames have come to fruition and they are now accepting pre-orders while they wait for the final patent process to take effect.

Based on the Glock platform, they are compatible with any G20, 21, 40, or G41 slide and incorporate enhanced ergonomics, including an ultra-low bore axis, and a true 1911-style grip angle. Also, Lone Wolf touts the new Timberwolf Large frames as only being fractionally larger overall in grip circumference than a Glock 17 frame. A “9mm-sized frame”, but with a major power upgrade! The new frames are being sold either bare, bare + parts kit, or fully built, with a starting MSRP of only $124.95. Read more

GLOCK refers to media reports discussing pending patent litigation between SIG Sauer, Inc. and GLOCK GmbH.

In January 2018, SIG Sauer, Inc. (SIG) filed a patent infringement suit together with a motion for a preliminary injunction against Glock GmbH (GLOCK Austria) in the Commercial Court Vienna, Austria.

SIG´s motion requested the court to prevent GLOCK from manufacturing and selling some of its most popular pistol models. SIG´s motion for a preliminary injunction was dismissed by the court because GLOCK successfully proved that SIG´s patent is invalid. SIG did not appeal this important ruling, so it is a final decision.

The remaining case in the Commercial Court Vienna is currently stayed because GLOCK filed a motion for a declaration of invalidity of the disputed patent with the Austrian Patent Office in April 2018.

It is highly likely that the Patent Office will grant GLOCK´s motion and declare the disputed SIG patent null and void because GLOCK proved during the preliminary injunction court proceeding that the SIG patent is invalid. Read more

For hunters that prefer the appearance and warmth of a wood stock, Winchester Repeating Arms^® has introduced a new Sporter model to the XPR^® bolt-action rifle line.

The new rifle features a close-grained Grade I walnut stock with crisp checkering on the pistol grip and fore-end for a classic look and feel. A flattened fore-end profile provides added stability when shooting from sandbags or a rest.

The XPR Sporter comes in 12 popular calibers from 243 Win. to 338 Win. Mag. — including the 6.5 Creedmoor round. Barrel lengths are 22″ for short action calibers, 24″ for short magnum and standard long action rounds and 26″ for magnum calibers.
