Silencer Central, America’s largest silencer dealer, has rallied behind a groundbreaking bill introduced in Congress on November 9, 2023, which aims to redirect tax stamp revenue from the sale of suppressors to vital conservation efforts and expedite the processing of applications.
“The Tax Stamp Revenue Transfer for Wildlife and Recreation Act is a significant milestone for wildlife, hunters and shooting enthusiasts,” said Brandon Maddox, CEO of Silencer Central. “By redirecting tax stamp revenue towards conservation efforts and expediting application processing, we are ensuring the sustainability of our natural resources and supporting the growth of shooting sports.”
Maddox has been a strong advocate for this bill, recognizing its potential to revolutionize wildlife conservation and recreational activities. Silencer Central is proud to build upon its rich conservation heritage and help improve ballistics, accuracy and safety with its suppressors.
Under the proposed act, 15% of the total revenue generated from tax stamps would be directed towards expediting the processing of suppressor applications by the ATF’s National Firearms Act (NFA) division to a maximum of 90 days. This allocation aims to address the lengthy waiting periods faced by applicants, which can currently extend up to a year despite recent efforts to streamline the process. Read more

A Magnum Heirloom
Pillager, MN: Magnum Research, in collaboration with Dark Alliance and Koted Arms, is proud to announce the release of the Steampunk Desert Eagle, the ultimate incarnation of custom Desert Eagle craftwork. Only 20 such custom pistols will ever be produced, and each is completely unique in its own right.
The Steampunk Desert Eagle is a one-of-a-kind heirloom that is intricately engraved with gears and machinery reflecting a Steampunk motif. From the slide, to the frame, and across the grips, the artists at Dark Alliance and Koted Arms used the Desert Eagle as a canvas to engrave their vision of a steampunk universe. Each gun was then coated with a Cerakote Copper and Black finish, carefully chosen to reflect an antique character and dystopian 19th Century feel. The pistols are hand taped during finishing, so no two are exactly alike.
Each pistol is chambered in .50 AE, and comes with one seven round magazine. A certificate of authenticity is included, verifying that the gun is one of only 20 to ever be produced. All 20 Steampunk Desert Eagles will be offered for sale directly to the customer through the Magnum Research Custom Site. When they go live, they will go very, very fast. The Steampunk Desert Eagle is made to be shot – but that is up to the buyer. It may just be too gorgeous to take to the range. Keep your eyes on the countdown site, and be ready to buy! Read more
GENESEO, ILL. – Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the release of three new color options — Desert FDE, OD Green and Gray — for the popular 16”-barreled Hellion™ 5.56mm bullpup platform.
Originally released in early 2022, the Hellion answered the call for superior ballistic performance in a short, modular and fully ambidextrous 5.56mm bullpup platform. Unlike a traditional long gun, the bullpup system locates the action and the magazine behind the trigger and into the buttstock area. By doing this, it reduces the overall length drastically, while still allowing you to have a barrel long enough to retain effective downrange performance.
Based on a proven Croatian design, the Springfield Armory semi-automatic Hellion offers shooters a capable bullpup design with numerous modifications and enhancements for the American market. These includes an ability to feed from AR-pattern magazines, the use of replaceable AR-pattern pistol grips, M-Lok® slots in the handguard and six QD mounts. Read more
