Greeley, PA – A year has passed since Magnum Research first introduced the .50 AE Mark XIX pistol in stainless steel. Now, the company is proud to announce the much anticipated introduction of the stainless steel Desert Eagle in .357 and .44 Magnum.Both the Mark XIX Desert Eagle .357 and .44 Magnum are offered in an all stainless steel construction of the frame, slide, barrel and rail, and is accented with attractive black appointments. Both models have a 6″ barrel and have an integral muzzle brake which will replace the add-on brake which Magnum Research offered for a number of years. With the new integral muzzle brake, it offers significant recoil reduction, less muzzle flip and an attractive streamlined appearance. In addition, because the overall length remains the same as the standard 6″ barrel model, the same holsters will fit these models. The .357 and .44 Magnum also features a new picatinny bottom rail for accessories. Read more

Weatherby Inc., legendary firearms manufacturer, is honored to introduce the DGR, one of the latest iterations of the Vanguard® series that debuted in the late 1960s. Since that time, Vanguard® rifles have redefined the level of performance that’s attainable from a production hunting rifle —especially budget-friendly models.

Continuing that convention, the economical Vanguard® DGR is replete with features that’ll endear it to those individuals who pursue perilous species or venture through hazardous environments.Adhering to the Weatherby® axiom, “Nothing is … more accurate,” accompanying the Vanguard® DGR is an accuracy guarantee; when using premium ammunition, it will produce a three-shot group measuring 0.99-inch or less at 100 yds. from a cold barrel.

In addition to aiding the aforementioned accuracy assurance, the cold-hammer-forged, 24-inch, No. 2-contour barrel extracts the full potential of the .375 H&H Magnum to deliver upon the maxim, “Nothing … hits harder.” To ensure perfect shot placement in a host of lighting conditions, the barrel is topped with the field-proven New England Custom Gun (NECG) rear sight and the perfect complement, a Williams Gun Sight Co. hooded front sight. Sight-skewing and game-alarming glare is minimized through the use of a bead-blasted, matte-blue finish. Read more

Most people who have heard of the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) associate the organization with its rifles. Many travel miles, far and wide, to rummage through the shelves of the North and South Stores – looking for the perfect new addition to their growing collections. But for those searching for more valuable, select items, they can only be found online – and are sold to the highest bidder.

The CMP Auction Site has been an important facet of the company since 2009. Each year, the site features exclusive, high-end items sold solely through the website – not in CMP stores. In 2015, from October to mid-November alone, the site brought in $350-400 thousand dollars in sales revenue – serving as one of the main sources of income for the organization.

The gateway of each item’s journey from warehouse to website is the Auction Room in Anniston, AL. From the warehouse, employees within the Auction Room receive the items that have been deemed worthy of being sold through the site – unique rifles with rare parts or intriguing stories – and are tasked with describing each component through high-resolution photos and a short, detailed description on the site.
“You’ll get rare stuff – stuff you can’t get anywhere else,” said Josh White, one of the CMP employees within the Auction Room. “The pictures we take are what tell the story. You have to look at the pictures to see what you’re getting.” Read more
