Manurhin Commemorates America’s 250th Anniversary with the Limited-Edition MR73 Liberty Revolver

Beretta USA proudly announces the launch of the Manurhin MR73 Liberty, a limited-edition revolver created to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence. The MR73 Liberty celebrates the enduring pursuit of liberty and the historic alliance between France and the United States that helped secure American independence.

Built on the legendary MR73 platform, each MR73 Liberty is meticulously hand-crafted in Saint-Bonnet-le-Château, France, where generations of skilled artisans continue Manurhin’s tradition of uncompromising precision and craftsmanship. Designed as both a collector’s piece and a high-performance revolver, the Liberty edition introduces exclusive features never before offered on the MR73. The MR73 Liberty also pays tribute to the French craftsmen whose work helped secure American independence. During the Revolutionary War, the majority of the small arms used by the Continental Army were manufactured in France, with many produced just miles from present-day Saint-Bonnet-le-Château, where Manurhin revolvers are hand-crafted today. The engraved coat of arms of Saint-Bonnet-le-Château represents the historic mark that would have identified arms originating from the town in the 1770s, creating a direct connection between the French firearms that equipped American Patriots and the craftsmanship that continues there today.

Created specifically for this anniversary edition, the MR73 Liberty features the platform’s first-ever 4-inch heavy-profile cold hammer-forged barrel, delivering enhanced balance, stability, and recoil control. An unfluted cylinder provides increased rotational mass for a smoother recoil impulse and a distinctive appearance. A classic Partridge front sight paired with an adjustable LPA rear sight provides the precise sight picture expected from the MR73’s legendary match-grade performance. Commemorative details include a “Liberty” barrel engraving inspired by the Declaration of Independence’s enduring phrase, “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness,” and the historic coat of arms of Saint-Bonnet-le-Château, the birthplace of Manurhin craftsmanship. Used in the region since the 1500s, the emblem honors the French arms-making heritage that helped support America’s fight for independence, creating a symbolic connection between the two nations and the enduring pursuit of liberty.

MR73 Liberty Features:

  • Limited edition of only 100 revolvers worldwide
  • New 4-inch heavy-profile cold hammer-forged barrel
  • Unfluted cylinder for enhanced strength and smoother recoil impulse
  • “Liberty” barrel engraving commemorating America’s 250th anniversary
  • Saint-Bonnet-le-Château coat of arms engraving
  • Partridge front sight with adjustable LPA rear sight
  • Hand-crafted in Saint-Bonnet-le-Château, France

“The MR73 Liberty is more than a commemorative firearm, it is a tribute to the shared history between France and the United States and the craftsmen whose legacy continues more than two centuries later,” said Ben Grundwerg, Beretta USA Product Manager for Pistols and ProShop. “By combining the renowned performance of the MR73 with exclusive design elements inspired by America’s founding, we’ve created a revolver worthy of this historic milestone.”

Limited to only 100 revolvers worldwide, the MR73 Liberty represents a rare opportunity for collectors and shooting enthusiasts to own a firearm that blends historic significance with one of the world’s finest revolver platforms.

Julius Caesar Announced as Latest Installment of SK Guns’ Conquerors Series

SK Guns®, the Nation’s only series-driven, limited-edition manufacturer of custom firearms, is proud to announce the third production in its popular Conquerors Series: Julius Caesar. As a limited-production release, only 200 Colt 1911 pistols chambered in .38 Super will be available to collectors and enthusiasts.

“Caesar was a Roman general, politician and writer whose conquests changed the history of the ancient world. He moved his armies quickly, built bridges, forts and siege works, and used discipline to defeat larger forces,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns. “His conquest made him legendary, but it also helped bring the Roman Republic to an end and reshaped Europe for centuries after.”

Details on the right side of the guns slide exhibit Caesar crossing the Rubicon in January 49 BC, an act of treason also known as the point of no return that sparked the Great Roman Civil War. This legendary river in northeastern Italy served as the legal northern boundary of the Roman province of Italy proper, separating it from Cisalpine Gaul. Read more

WOOX Introduces the Elegante Hybrid Bolt Action Stock

WOOX, manufacturers of Italian-American made gunstocks, axes and knives, crafted with the finest materials and the latest technology, is proud to announce the introduction of the new Elegante Hybrid bolt action rifle stock. The Hybrid was designed and engineered for hunters who demand precision without giving up the feel and carry of a traditional bolt action hunting rifle.

“The Elegante Series began as a true passion project for our entire team,” said Ben Fleming, CEO of WOOX USA. “WOOX has always been known for blending the timeless character of wood with the strength, performance, and modern refinement of metal and aluminum. With the Elegante Series, our goal was to create something that felt classic and nostalgic in appearance, while incorporating modern design elements that enhance repeatability, consistency, and precision.” Fleming goes on to say, “We poured an incredible amount of care, craftsmanship, and intention into every detail of this series, and I’m confident the result is a timeless design that will resonate with end users who value both beauty and performance.”

The new Elegante Hybrid carries like a traditional hunting rifle should, but it shoots with the consistency of something that costs considerably more. Crafted from carefully selected Claro American walnut, this precision-built hunting platform delivers the balance and handling expected from high-end modern bolt action platforms. The Hybrid is perfectly shaped and crafted in Italy, and hand finished in Hickory, NC. Weighing in at just 35 ounces, the Elegante Hybrid is well under the weight of a traditional wood rifle stock. It utilizes an integrated aluminum mini-chassis and an internal weight system that allows for fine-tuning of the rifle to create the perfect balance between weight, repeatability, handling, and performance. (weights sold separately).

The Elegante Hybrid features a vertical grip, flat-bottom forend, negative comb, and integrated thumb rest to provide stability and comfort in any situation. This unique stock provides the same precision tolerances and repeatable bedding geometry that gives you chassis level performance in a hybrid walnut stock. The Elegante Hybrid stock is built from a single piece of American walnut with two choices of wood grades, standard or high-grade American walnut. Each is hand-selected and chosen specifically for grain and character. Because walnut is a natural material, no two stocks carry the same pattern. The one you order is the only one that looks exactly like it, anywhere.

Premium Features Include:

  • Full-length standard and high-grade American walnut, hand-oiled
  • Integrated aerospace-grade aluminum mini-chassis
  • Negative comb design
  • 20-degree vertical grip with L/R integrated thumb rest
  • Integrated suspense system for balance and weight distribution
  • M-LOK 6-slot rail at 6 o’clock position on forend for accessories
  • Ventilated recoil pad for enhanced comfort
  • Adjustable length of pull via optional spacers
  • MSRP: Standard American Walnut $549.00

High Grade Walnut $879.00

*Currently available for: Remington 700 SA/LA · Ruger 10/22 · Ruger American Gen2 Read more

Bleecker Street Publications Celebrates America’s 250th with a Giveaway

 

As America celebrated 250 years of independence, Bleecker Street Publications is marking the occasion the only way we know how with legendary firearms and a giveaway worthy of the nation that built freedom.

The 250th Anniversary Giveaway is officially live, giving one lucky winner the opportunity to take home two of Smith & Wesson’s most celebrated firearms: the Model 1854 Traditional Walnut Lever Action and the Model 19 Classic (No Internal Lock). Together, they represent nearly two centuries of American firearms innovation from one of the country’s most storied manufacturers. This isn’t simply another patriotic promotion, it’s a celebration of American craftsmanship, heritage, and the enduring culture that has defined generations of shooters, hunters, competitors, and defenders.

America’s 250th birthday deserves more than a commemorative logo or another collection of products assembled under a patriotic banner. It deserves something authentic, something that celebrates the companies and traditions that helped shape American firearms history. That’s exactly what this giveaway delivers.

“America’s 250th birthday is a milestone worth celebrating the right way,” said Charles Anderson, CEO of Bleecker Street Publications. “Smith & Wesson has spent more than 170 years building firearms that have become part of America’s story. Pairing two of its most iconic models in one giveaway is our way of honoring that legacy while giving one reader an unforgettable prize.”

The promotion reflects what Bleecker Street Publications has always been about, connecting passionate Americans with the firearms, gear, and stories that matter. Everyday, readers turn to Bleecker Street Publications for trusted reviews, breaking product news, in-depth testing, and expert editorial covering every corner of the firearms and outdoor industries. The 250th Anniversary Giveaway extends that mission by putting two firearms into the hands of one fortunate winner.

While many anniversary promotions focus on building the biggest dollar figure, Athlon Outdoors chose to focus on something more meaningful, iconic firearms with genuine historical significance.

The firearms community doesn’t measure value solely by a price tag. It measures value through heritage, craftsmanship, performance, and the stories every firearm carries with it. Few manufacturers embody those qualities like Smith & Wesson, and few pairings better represent America’s firearms legacy than a classic revolver alongside a beautifully crafted lever-action rifle.

As the nation reflects on a quarter millennium of freedom, Bleecker Street Publications invites the shooting community to celebrate the enduring spirit that built America and continues to define it today.

The 250th Anniversary Giveaway is open now for a limited time. Official rules, prize details, and entry information are available on the Athlon Outdoors giveaway page. Read more
