Rock Island Auction Company Presents an April Premiere Firearms Auction

The Legendary Winchester 64 Rifle

Rock Island Auction Company

Moline, IL --(AmmoLand.com)- This past weekend I watched John Wayne rule the Wild West with his trusty Winchester rifle. How I would have loved living out the adventures he played on screen! Of course, the old west has been highly romanticized. Still, I often imagine myself learning from the hardships and taking part in the triumphs those early settlers experienced.

Few things represent that golden era more than Winchester. Just mentioning the legendary name takes me to a time when America was charging ever forward, expanding westward; becoming a global player. The Winchester brand was a manufacturing behemoth, a model of American industry. It’s important we remember how intertwined the history of the United States and Winchester firearms truly were. For over a hundred years, classic Winchester rifles were carried by American settlers across the vast frontier and by soldiers on battlefronts too numerous to mention.

It has been nearly fifty years since Winchester’s heyday. It’s sad to see an American legend as large as Winchester fall so fast and so completely. While we drool over the pre-’64 Winchesters and wonder why “they don’t build them like they used to,” there’s something we forget.

Golden Era of Winchester

Winchester was long ago forced to halt production because people were buying newer, “more cost-effective” guns. In an ironic twist, this has left the higher-quality, older guns, like Winchester, collecting dust on the shelves. Of course, other legends of American industry have suffered as well. GM is no longer the king of the auto industry, our politicians have allowed us to become dependant on foreign money and, in general, we have become a shadow of the powerhouse we once were.

The glory days of Winchester was a boon time for this country. Self-reliance was our trademark and classic Winchester rifles were, and are, a shining symbol of our pioneer spirit.

Through grit, determination and sheer force of will, we forged the greatest empire ever known to man. What would America be without those hardened settlers trudging across the great expanse with Winchester in hand and Colt on hip?

Today we find our past slipping away.

Wild West Cowboys With Trusty Winchester Rifles

This alone makes the revered, American made Winchesters such a precious commodity. They’re a direct tie to our historic past. Each firearm contains a portion of this country’s soul.

The sad fact that we now purchase the Winchester brand from foreign markets is an unbelievable disgrace.

Most of us would rather have seen the name die completely than for such a thing to happen. But happen it did. And in a world where our fathers blood, sweat and tears are being sold to the highest bidder – what more could we expect?

We owe it to the few remaining classic Winchesters that they be preserved forever. So much of the detail and workmanship that made these weapons so special have been tossed aside.

That’s why collectors of antique firearms are so very important.

They preserve the history of this country. A history that men like Teddy Roosevelt and Buffalo Bill Cody helped shape. They knew the value of these legendary rifles. Today it is up to us to keep their legacy alive in the hope that we can recapture the magic and the boldness these great guns represent.

The Legendary Winchester Rifle

ArmaLite 35A2’s Truckload Sale Contest

ArmaLite Inc

Geneseo, IL - (AmmoLand.com)- On Wednesday, Mark Westrom came into the office and said we’re having a truckload sale. He said if you buy a truckload of ArmaLite, you get to keep the truck.

The trucks… and we have a parking lot full of them here in Geneseo… are military M35A2’s, commonly known as a “deuce and a half.”

Since then, we spent some time figuring out exactly how many guns do fit in a deuce. We measured the cargo area of the trucks and the dimensions of a standard AR10’s shipping box. Then we set our crack engineering staff on the math problem of how many boxes would fit in the cargo area.

We got the answer, but we’re not going to share it with you. Instead, we’re running a contest. Guess how many guns fit in a deuce and a half. The prize is one of our new SPR Mod 1 complete uppers.

ArmaLite Special Purpose (SPR) MOD 1 Rifle with the Continuous Optics Platform Installed

Here’s a description of the Mod 1:

ArmaLite is known for its history of innovation. Its Special Purpose Rifle (SPR®) has proved it for years. Now, the introduction of the ArmaLite SPR Mod 1™ proves it once more, in spectacular fashion. The SPR Mod 1 is a forged, one-piece upper receiver/rail system with exclusive detachable side and bottom rails. That’s right, you can change your 1913 rails to fit your changing needs for sights… lights… lasers… grips… or swivels. The SPR Mod 1’s one-piece construction offers you a continuous optics platform (COP). There’s no gap to bridge between receiver and upper rail when installing your scope or sights. This one-piece construction’s strength and rigidity will also keep your sights zeroed in the most trying conditions.

To enter the contest, e-mail your guess to steadmana@armalite.com. Make sure that in the topic box its says exactly, “TRUCKLOAD CONTEST.” Your entry must be e-mailed to us by March 31, 2010. Please, only one entry per e-mail address. The name of everyone with the correct answer will be put in a hat, and one winner will be pulled at random. Please don’t call or e-mail the factory with questions. The truck model is M35A2. The year doesn’t matter because the cargo area is the same size in all the trucks.

Acusport To Add Masterpiece Arms To Their Inventory Line-Up

Tactical Tips with Bob Haught

Wilson Combat

Berryville, AR - -(AmmoLand.com)- In this second article dealing with Shotguns, I would like to go into my personal preferences in setting up a defensive Shotgun and why I choose the accessories that make up the “Rob Model”. I’m often asked during shotgun programs why I have a particular accessory bolted to my gun and over time it has morphed into what I refer to as the “Rob Model”.

It’s probably appropriate to go back to the genesis of the modern social shotgun and see how these things developed. In the 80”s the American Pistol Institute, now known as Gunsite began the first real development of the “Social Shotgun”. Basically they took a standard Police duty shotgun and added a sight system that allowed the use of both slugs and buckshot to an acceptable level. The Ghost Ring sight system that we all are familiar with today came about as a result of experimentation there. Also developed was the widespread use of the butt cuff shell holder and several custom holster makers started offering it in their catalogs.

The Sidesaddles originally came only in the six round versions. My good friend John Markwell was the first person I know of who cut them down to hold three shells and gave room to grasp the receiver during manipulations and we all used these until factory four shell models became available and were workable. Magazine extensions were offered as a “Police Only” option from Remington but it seemed everyone had them. Various sling options were used with the standard straight strap; three point and tactical slings were unheard of at the time. One of the popular mods of the day was an attachment point at the pistol grip which allowed taking a knee without the muzzle hitting the ground when performing a weapon transition.

Barrel technology was in its infancy as well, with different options of choking being used. Then along came a crazy Swede named Hans Vang who set the world on its ear with his Vang Comp barrels. Later on came the Rem™ Choke system and factory options but early on it was Improved Cylinder only. Wooden stocks were only available in one size. It wasn’t until years later that the synthetic stocks in different lengths became an option. Most of what we now see as technique and types of setups can trace their roots directly to Gunsite. About this time a company in Brentwood TN, named Scattergun Technologies™ came on the scene. This was the first place to offer a one stop source for a tactical oriented shotgun. They were extremely popular and were the basis for what we now recognize as the typical setup. Wilson Combat® purchased Scattergun Technologies™ and it became part of the Wilson Combat family and continues to evolve the state of the art in tactical shotguns to this day. Having used the original Scattergun line of weapons quite a bit I was very exited when they became part of Wilson Combat and have been involved with the line since then as a consultant and end user in my work and training business.

One thing to remember is that all this took place before the carbine came into the widespread use that we see today. The shotgun was pressed into the dual role of scattergun and short range rifle. At the time a battle rifle was a 308 and the AR-15 was most commonly found in its full size variant and was considered too powerful for general LE use. A 12 ga. Slug was the preferred option for shorter range conflict resolution and the Ghost Ring sight allowed a competent operator to engage man sized targets out to 75-100 yards and reasonable speed in using buckshot.

That’s why I have always referred to it as a compromise sight. It gives most of the speed of a bead sight and most of the precision of rifle sights. The shotgun’s biggest rival was the submachine gun and at distances past about 50yds the shotgun slug was superior. Today the Subgun has faded into the shadows with the development of the carbine but for some reason the shotgun simply refuses to die off.

With all the above in mind, I have taken what I feel is the best of the past and added a few twists of my own to the way I like to set up my shotgun. Let’s start from the ground up.

Scattergun Technologies Standard Model Shotgun

First is the stock, I find the factory standard of 14” to be too long for most folks. I prefer a short 13” “youth” stock. This allows for more movement around body armor or load bearing gear as well as winter clothing. Most folks can manage a shorter stock better that one that is too long. As in most things in life an inch makes a big difference. I use a large head safety. Some swear by them, some at them. I find with gloves they are easier to hit under stress.

As I mentioned before I prefer a short Sidesaddle. This is due to the balance point of the shotgun being located at the receiver. With the longer version I can’t get my hand around the receiver and the gun is awkward during reloading and other manipulations. As far as forearms go, I feel a weapon mounted light is absolutely vital on a defensive weapon. The gold standard is the Surefire® model. They have never let me down.

When it comes to magazine extensions, I prefer a simple one round model. Yes I can hear the clamor now about how the shotgun is way behind the curve on ammo capacities anyway so why not opt for six or eight rounder? It’s simple, balance; a muzzle heavy shotgun is not a balanced shotgun and is both harder to index on target and fatiguing to carry around and manipulate. A one round extension allows me to have one round of dead air space in the tube for slug transitions. Otherwise I wouldn’t personally use one at all. I also like a high visibility follower that I can tell at a glance the state of readiness of the shotgun.

That brings us to barrels, shotgun barrels are like ladies, and no two are alike. Give me a pile of barrels from the same manufacturer and you will find some that shoot better than others with different ammo and some that are just plain good with whatever you put through them. Perhaps no greater development in the shotgun field has taken place in recent years than that of barrel technology and ammunition development. No one ever asked the ammo manufacturers to tighten patterns until recently. Now we have several new types of buckshot that perform like a Vang Comp from a standard barrel. That being said I am a fan of Vang Comp Barrels. Legal length is 18” unless you go through the Class 3 process so I have standardized on this for the “Rob Model”.

Sight wise, I have taken the proven Ghost Ring design and added my personal touch. I cut the ring in half creating a large “U” notch which I have dubbed the “Friendly Ghost”. It gives a very fast presentation and still gives enough reference for slugs out to about the same distance you get from a full circle. The modification can be had from Scattergun Technologies on request. Slings are useful when using the long gun in conjunction with a support weapon. For a home defense scenario I leave them off. Whether you opt for a three-point, two-point or single point is a matter of personal choice and will be dictated by your mission. Rounding off the “Rob Model” is an Armor Tuff finish that helps keep the gun from suffering from rust and offers a slick internal surface to help the gun run smoothly. So to sum up the “Rob Model”, you will end up with an Remington® 870 with a short stock to allow smooth presentations in all situations, a light to identify threats, a sight system that gets the most out of the full range of ammo types, a spare ammo carrier that allows manipulations of the gun to be performed smoothly and a simple mag extension that doesn’t unbalance the weapon and allows for rapid change of ammunition types to respond to changing circumstances. Top this off with a sling system to suit your mission and a finish that will protect the gun from corrosion and you have what I have come to believe is a model that optimizes the modern social shotgun.

Steyr SSG 69 Sniper Rifle

Steyr Arms

TRUSSVILLE, AL —-(AmmoLand.com)-  The SSG 69 line of rifles, including the STEYR SSG 69 PI and the STEYR SSG 69 PII, mirrors many years of STEYR MANNLICHER’s firearms manufacturing experience.

The SSG 69 (Scharfschützengewehr 69) is a bolt-action sniper rifle produced by Steyr Mannlicher and serves as the standard sniper rifle for the Austrian Army.

Adopted in 1969 (hence the designation), it was ahead of its time with the use of synthetics and cold-hammer forged barrels for accuracy. SSG-69 is the Austrian Army’s standard issue sniper rifle, the PI is the civilian version of the same weapon. The SSG-69 is also used by several police agencies. The SSG is extremely accurate and several international competitions have been won using an SSG-69 with accuracy being sub .5 MOA.

There are several variants made with mostly cosmetic differences, the only anomaly being the SSG-PIV using a 409 mm barrel with a 1:250 mm (1:10 inches) twist designed to handle heavy subsonic ammunition.

Their precision and robustness set a trend internationally, for a new generation of modern precision rifles. Despite the fact that their development originated some time ago, the SSG 69 series of precision rifles remain internationally high in demand.

Proven
The proven bolt action system of STEYR MANNLICHER hunting rifles is also found in the SSG 69 series of rifles.

Further Configuration Details
The synthetic stock – olive green on the STEYR SSG 69 PI and black on the STEYR SSG 69 PII – features high robustness, and the flexibility to adjust the length of pull. The receiver is milled to accommodate quick detachable scope mounts, or other aiming devices.

CASCity.com Blog Interview:

Q: What is your Blog’s Official Name?
A: CAS city – The World of Cowboy & Western Action Shooting

Q: What is your Name?
A: Marshal Halloway aka Kjell Heilevang

Q: Where are you located?
A: Howard, KS

Q: What is the point of view or purpose of CAScity?
A: CAS city’s goal is to promote Cowboy Action Shooting and their organizations like SASS, NCOWS, Western 3Gun, their clubs and non affiliated clubs.

Q: How long has your CAScity been active?
A: Since 1995

Q: Technically CAScity is more than a blog what else it there to see and do on your website?
A: The CAScity forum and the integrated classified section are features in addition to our news and blog section which also promotes the television show Cowboys on Outdoor Channel.

Q: You can not possibly do everything on CAScity, who else helps you out?
A: The CAScity blog and news section is primarily maintained by me. The forum section is moderated by 20 volunteers among cowboy action shooters, many of them have been moderators for over 10 years.

Q: What do you do for a living or is your CAScity a full time job?
A: CAScity is part of Down Range Media owned by me and my wife, Teresa. Maintaining CAScity is part of my full time job as a consultant, producer and editor for Outdoor Channel with emphasis on shooting sports and personal defense. This is done in partnership with Michael Bane, producer of Shooting Gallery, Cowboys and The Best Defense.

Q: Do you have any other digital sites?
A: I maintain and have the editorial responsibility of DownRange.TV owned by Outdoor Channel. Michael Bane and I established DRTV in 2007. It is a multimedia web site with the primary goal of promoting Outdoor Channel’s original production on Wednesday night, programs like the ones mentioned above and S.W.A.T. Magazine TV.

Q: For those that have no idea, what is Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS)?
A: Cowboy Action Shooting is a highly multifaceted shooting sports where participants compete with original of replica firearms from the 19th century, primarily from 1860 to the turn of the century. The sport was formally established in the late 1970s by former IPSC shooters, later organized by Single Action Shooting Society. In later years, organizations like National Congress of Old West Shootists and Western 3Gun came on board and combined they administer around 100,000 shooters worldwide.

Q: Marshal, some of our readers may not believe this but you have a lot more interests than CAS, what else gets you fired up you these days?
A: I am blessed to have a job which also integrates my hobbies. Hey, some even claim I shouldn’t call it a job…. LOL

All in all, as an editor involved in many levels of content production (text, stills, video, podcasts), travelling to events around the country, there is little time for much beside work. 2/3 of my time is devoted to DownRange.TV and projects together with my partner and good friend, Michael Bane.

I am also fortunate to have a wife who shares my interests and we just returned from Arizona where we both participated in the National Championship of Cowboy Action Shooting.

Q: What is one thing that you want your readers to know about you?
A: I have always been engaged and devoted to get more people involved in shooting sports not just cowboy action shooting. My priority is more related to demystifying the sport and make people understand that shooting sports are comprised of 99% “regular” people and 1% top shooters. We have given the 1% well deserved and good coverage in a variety of media, but I do believe it is important from a recruiting standpoint to show all levels including the recreational shooters.

Q: What was the best thing you did on CAScity that go the most reaction from your readers?
A: I cannot pinpoint anything in particular, but what needs to be mentioned is the fact that we have been able to run the site for as long as we have and where people can find a starting point to join the sport , meet new friend and interact with each other. I think our consistency in running the site and the moderators excellent work in keeping the forum a friendly place for everyone is the major factor for a good feedback and loyalty.

Q: What was the worst thing you did on CAScity that go the most reaction from your readers?
A: Worst thing…. the fact that I have not had time to resume the production of Cowboy Action Radio, the podcast related to the sport. I cannot promise if or when at this time, but I would like to get it started as soon as time allows.

Q: What is your favorite firearm and why?
A: The most difficult question of all…. I would say it is a shared first place between the Colt Single Action Army and 1911.

Q: What things would you like to do or expand in CAScity to in the future?
A: Our biggest challenge is to recruit new shooters and especially the younger generation. We are currently working with SASS (Single Action Shooting Society) to establish projects which hopefully will increase membership. CAScity, DownRange.TV and the show Cowboys will all be a part of this.

Q: Obviously since we are featuring you that means CAScity is Pro gun? What do you think the outlook is for the future of gun rights in America?
A: I am a Second Amendment Absolutist and as concerned about our gun rights as my fellow NRA members. I believe our major focus is “Not to take what we have for granted”. I hope McDonald v. Chicago can establish once and for all that the Second Amendment is an individual right no matter where you live in the US.

Q: What would you like to say to those that are anti gun or maybe just unsure of the purpose of guns in our society today?
A: Step away from the fixed mindset for a moment and spend some time with gun owners in their own environment. I have personally witnessed anti gun people change their mind after being invited to a gun club and spent some time with gun owners at a shooting range. Let me add that Cowboy Action Shooting is a perfect door opener for people who for various reasons cannot understand the so called gun culture and I personally know fellow shooters who has gone from being totally anti gun to become active shooters and NRA members.

ArmaLite Special Purpose (SPR) MOD 1 Rifle Close Up at the Rail System

ArmaLite Inc

Geneseo, IL - -(AmmoLand.com)- ArmaLite is known for its history of innovation.

Its Special Purpose Rifle (SPR®) has proved it for years. Now, the introduction of the ArmaLite SPR Mod 1™ proves it once more, in spectacular faArmaLite Special Purpose (SPR) MOD 1 Rifleshion.

The SPR Mod 1 is a forged, one-piece upper receiver/rail system with exclusive detachable side and bottom rails.

In true ArmaLite fashion, the SPR Mod 1 is like no other on the market.  With other one-piece systems, you’re stuck forever with the rails you get at purchase, and stuck with their limits.

ArmaLite Special Purpose (SPR) MOD 1 Rifle

But ArmaLite knows you and your firearm often have more than one mission, and you want options. ArmaLite gives you just that. The SPR Mod 1’s three o’clock, six o’clock, and nine o’clock rails are detachable.  That’s right, you can change your 1913 rails to fit your changing needs for sights… lights… lasers… grips… or swivels.

ArmaLite takes that versatility even further.  Each SPR Mod 1 comes with three extra rails standard, at no extra cost. We give you a 1913 rail with a quick detach sling swivel hole. Each rifle comes with a low insert for when you need a bare rail with a low profile.  There’s also a plain insert with a quick detach sling swivel hole. Changing your rails… your add-ons… and your SPR Mod 1… is as easy as turning a torque wrench.

Ingenious versatility isn’t the only reason you’ll want an SPR Mod 1.  Its one-piece construction offers you a continuous optics platform (COP). There’s no gap to bridge between receiver and upper rail when you’re installing your scope or sights. This one-piece construction also gives the sighting platform extra rigidity. It’s a good, strong backbone. That means your sights will stay zeroed in the most trying conditions.

The SPR Mod 1 typifies the “ArmaLite Standard of Excellence.” With us, quality comes standard. There’s no extra charge for: the SPR Mod 1’s chrome lined, chrome moly vanadium steel barrel; its two-stage tactical trigger; the patented, extra strength steel bolt assembly; or the hard coated finish. These are all things that other companies consider options at an added cost.

The introduction of the new ArmaLite SPR Mod 1 is truly a new chapter in our history of innovation and our dedication to the quality you deserve.

• Caliber:                        .223/5.56 NATO
• Barrel:                         16″ chrome lined, chrome moly vanadium steel

Additionally, Arsenal, Inc. donated a Gold Edition Jubilee Series AK-74 Kalashnikov rifle to the National Firearms Museum at the NRA Headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia.

NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris Cox commented, “We are grateful that Arsenal, Inc. decided to make this unique and generous gift to advance our efforts to strengthen the Second Amendment. Dr. Kalashnikov’s contribution to the history of firearms is important and many collectors will surely cherish these commemorative rifles.”

Arsenal Firearms

Last year marked two significant anniversaries related to the development of this commemorative rifle – Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov’s 90th birthday and 35 years of this Kalashnikov rifle. Besides honoring the great designer, Dr. Kalashnikov, this project is intended to bring the West and the East together, as well as to eliminate the negative stigma attached by some to the AK rifle.

Arsenal, Inc. CEO, Vartan Barsoumian stated: “As an American firearms collector, importer, and manufacturer, I felt that it was my duty to make sure that I do my part to both celebrate and bring more awareness to Dr. Kalashnikov’s legacy and his work, the AK rifle.”

This limited production run of rifles totaling 500 units, includes 100 Gold Edition rifles and 400 Silver Edition rifles. All components used in the Jubilee Series rifles are hand selected and inspected for perfection, and all the metal surfaces are coated by a special glossy black finish, which was developed specifically for these rifles. Each unit features engravings in dedication of Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov’s 90th birthday, 35 years of AK-74 production, the Izhmash factory logo, and Dr. Kalashnikov’s signature. The engravings are filled with either gold or silver color depending on the edition of the rifle. Select components are finely polished and coated with titanium nitride for a gold color, or hard chromium for a silver color, again depending on the edition.

All Jubilee Series commemorative AK-74s come with a certificate of authenticity, issued and endorsed by Lieutenant General Mikhail Kalashnikov. The first 100 certificates which accompany the Gold Edition are hand signed by Dr. Kalashnikov. Gold Edition rifles are packaged in a premium grade, custom fitted leather case specifically designed and manufactured for this special project. The Gold Edition rifles are also complemented by two unique brochures published by the Kalashnikov Foundation, illustrating the life and work of Dr. Kalashnikov.

The certificates accompanying the Silver Edition rifles bear a facsimile of Dr. Kalashnikov’s signature and come packaged in a high-quality, black synthetic leather custom case and carry the Arsenal, Inc. logo.

Taurus Judge Public Defender Ultra-Lite Revolver

Taurus Firearms

MIAMI, FL --(AmmoLand.com)- For 2010 Taurus took the Judge Public Defender and made it even lighter with an incredible Ultra-Lite® aluminum frame.

This new Public Defender weighs a mere 20.7 ounces, yet still delivers the same devastating firepower that makes its brothers famous.

Nothing could be better for a nightstand gun or as a lightweight pack gun on trips thought the backcountry.

Capable of chambering both .410 shotgun shells and .45 Colt ammunition, this amazing 5-shot combo gun is ideal for short distances – where most altercations occur – or longer distances with the .45 LC ammunition. The rifling has been finely tuned on this small frame revolver to spread the shot pattern at close quarters or to guide the bullet to the target. The Public Defender also features a reduced profile hammer that will not catch or snag for a quick and reliable draw.

The Public Defender Ultra-Lite is available with carbon steel or stainless steel cylinder in either stainless or blued finish. All Taurus Judge models include fixed rear sights and fiber optic front sights as well as Taurus’ ergonomic Ribber Grips. Additionally, like all Taurus handguns, the unique Taurus Security System® allows users to securely lock the gun using an inconspicuous key-lock.

GSG-5 Rifle with 10 Round Magazine

American Tactical Imports

ROCHESTER, NY – -(AmmoLand.com)- On January 2010 American Tactical Imports Inc received official notification from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and explosives that the original barrel shroud (aka: fake suppressor) supplied with your GSG 5 SD model must be replaced.

It has been determined that this shroud is regulated under the National Firearms Act. American Tactical will provide a replacement shroud at no charge for each GSG 5 SD model sold or currently in inventory.

Consumers in possession of a GSG 5 SD model with the original shroud in place on the firearm are now in violation of the NFA. To avoid continued violation of the NFA, ATI asks that all persons in possession obtain a replacement shroud as soon as possible. We anticipate arrival of the new shrouds to begin by the middle of February 2010.

IMPORTANT: THE ORIGINAL SD MODEL SHROUD MUST BE RETURNED ACOMPANIED BY THE FIREARM SERIAL NUMBER BEFORE A REPLACEMENT SHROUD IS ISSUED. THE DIAMETER OF THE SD SHROUD IS 1-9/16”. DO NOT RETURN THE SMALLER CARBINE SHROUD.

WHAT TO DO:
If possible return your old shroud to the dealer where purchased and show him this notice. The shroud will be returned to ATI along with a list of serial numbers from the guns that the shrouds were removed. ATI will send replacements to the dealer for pick up at your convenience; ATI will be sending replacements as fast as logistics allow. If your dealer is out of business or difficult to reach, or you purchased your gun used, from a consumer, return the shroud directly by US mail or UPS to American Tactical Imports Inc. 100 Airpark Drive Rochester, NY 14624.

PLEASE TRY NOT TO CALL US. We will provide comprehensive information on our web site www.americantactical.us , and www.ar15.com or by e-mail to atiexchange@americantactical.us

REMEMBER, INCLUDE THE FIREARM SERIAL NUMBER WITH EACH SHROUD OR A REPLACEMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED.

This action IS NOT being instituted through any fault and is strictly due to NFA compliance. American Tactical will assume the responsibility to satisfy the requirements in an effort to minimize the impact on our customers and protect your investment.

We at American Tactical Imports Inc. sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by this unfortunate situation.

The Raging Judge Magnum can chamber .454 Casull, .45 Colt, 2.5-inch and 3-inch .410 shotgun shells. The rifling has been finely tuned on this revolver to spread the shot pattern at close quarters or to guide the bullet to the target. Just like the original Judge, this revolver delivers amazing versatility and devastating firepower for self-protection.

New features include the distinctive “Raging Bull” cushioned grip for reduced felt recoil. The Raging Judge Magnum is available in blued or stainless steel finish with either a 3-inch and 6-inch barrel.
