Every rifle makes a snap when fired, but some rifles make history with the same action. The M24 does both, but mostly the latter. In a world gone mad with high-rate-of-fire platforms and tactical gear that looks better on Instagram than it performs in the field, the M24 bolt-action rifle remains a stoic monument to […]
Some rifles fade into obscurity. Others refuse to go quietly. Then there’s the M14…the Cold War warhorse that refused retirement, kept punching past its prime, and earned a cult following among shooters, soldiers, and salty old marksmen alike.

AK-103 is the fourth generation of the AK (Avtomat Kalashnikova) gas-operated assault rifles designed by Russian small-arms designer Mikhail Kalashnikov—a Soviet and later, a Russian lieutenant-general—under the AK-100 series in 1994, based upon […]
