CVA To Offer Nitride Barrels In Its ACCURA Line
CVA has introduced the latest in high-tech barrel steel treatments to its ACCURA line of muzzleloading rifles, a technique known as Salt Bath Ferritic Nitrocarburization. Already widely used in military applications, the “nitriding process” actually hardens the outer layers of the steel, making it significantly more durable and more corrosion resistant than even chrome lining – which was previously the highest standard in bore toughening techniques.

Connecticut Citizens Form Line to Register Guns

Minnesota Hunter Loses War of Words
Roger Schmid was cited for hunting without a license and even though he claimed not to be “pursuing” deer, officials pursued his attempt to skirt the law. It seems that Schmid wanted to argue that sitting in a deer blind with a loaded firearm was not actually pursuit (statute language). A judge disagreed and the wordsmith is now defined as a poacher. Too bad for the cheater, but he rightfully earns a place in my poacher category, nonetheless. Details here…
