When I was a kid, a bunch of us would go to a place in Bogota, NJ and pick up old military surplus arms; .45-70 Springfields, 11MM Rolling Blocks, even Civil war swords and WW II memorabilia. Of course that was at a time when a person could walk into […]

Occasionally, we will have a company from the firearms industry run an ad, then quit abruptly when we explain we do not write editorial in support of advertising and we don’t post thinly disguised  press releases as articles. You’d be surprised by what is normal practice in this industry when […]
