Primary Weapon Systems has released the MK107 MOD 2-M, a short-barreled rifle in .300 Blackout that weighs 5.2 pounds complete. The rifle features a 7.75-inch barrel with a 1:5 twist rate, machined from 416 stainless steel. According to PWS, the barrel is designed to deliver accuracy with heavy-grain subsonic loads.
Back in the day when I got a daily newspaper, I enjoyed reading the editorial page.. I would get a cup of coffee and sit before the fireplace. Sometimes I would agree, sometimes I would disagree and other times I would throw the paper into the fireplace in disgust.
These days, my editorial is on the intertubes and one of the folks I like listening to is victor Davis Hanson. He has a podcast that I enjoy with wide-ranging topics. Sometimes history, other times current events. In the one embedded below, one of the topis is the rise of the Democratic Socialists in American politics. The whole podcast is over an hour, but if you skip forward to 25:30 you can get his take on them. Agree or disagree but he has studied the movement and I have not.
While listening to VDH, I got out the Winchester and started futzing with the new reflex sight. Playing with reticles and brightness. Learning the sight. I now own precisely two red dot sights. A Vortex tube sight that sits on an AR and this new one on that sits atop the Winchester. At some point I will compare and contrast.
This new sight uses a CR1632 battery, so I'll have to pick up a spare. The Vortex uses a Triple A battery and those are always on hand.

Investigators learned that the victim had assaulted his 63-year-old
father and threatened to kill people at the scene following a verbal
argument.
The victim’s 25-year-old brother, a valid CPL holder, discharged his firearm and killed his brother.
Life-saving measures were attempted but the victim was pronounced

Today, August 14, we commemorate the Feast Day of the Martyrs of Otranto. These faithful Christians were victims of a brutal conquest during the Ottoman invasion of the Italian city of Otranto in 1480. After a two-week siege, the city fell on August 11 to the muslim oppressors. What followed was a horrifying massacre: all men over the age of 50 were executed, and women and children under 15 were taken into slavery.
The leader of the invading force, Pasha Ahmed, summoned over 800 surviving Christian men and demanded that they convert to Islam or face death. These men, firm in their faith, refused to renounce Christ.
One among them stepped forward and delivered words that echo through the centuries:
My brothers, until today we have fought in defense of our country, to save our lives, and for our lords; now it is time that we fight to save our souls for our Lord, so that having died on the cross for us, it is good that we should die for him, standing firm and constant in the faith, and with this earthly death we shall win eternal life and the glory of martyrs.
Angered by their defiance, Pasha Ahmed ordered their execution. On August 14, 1480, the 800 were taken to a nearby hill and beheaded while their families and fellow townspeople were forced to watch. Tradition holds that the body of the first to die, Antonio Primaldo, miraculously remained standing until all the others had been martyred.
With Otranto devastated and its population decimated, the Ottoman forces turned their sights toward Rome. The barbaric muslim conquest of Italy would ultimately fail following the death of Sultan Mehmet II which left the invading forces in disarray.
A year later, in October 1481, the remains of the martyrs were found to be incorrupt and were transferred to the Otranto Cathedral. Pope Clement XIV beatified them on December 14, 1771. Centuries later, on May 12, 2013, Pope Francis
canonized them as saints, honoring their steadfast faith and ultimate sacrifice.

| Relics of the Otranto Martyrs |
The story of Otranto belongs to history, but the lessons it teaches remain timely. Christians continue to face persecution and martyrdom in many parts of the world, often at the hands of Islamist extremists. Churches are burned, priests murdered, and believers imprisoned or killed simply for professing the name of Christ.
The Martyrs of Otranto remind us that civilizations are not preserved by complacency. They endure when people possess the courage to defend both their faith and the cultural foundations built upon it. Their witness calls Christians not to fear, but to remain steadfast, discerning, and faithful in every age.
May we never take for granted the religious liberty and Christian heritage we have inherited. May we have the wisdom to recognize genuine threats, and, should the day ever come, the courage to stand as firmly for Christ as the Martyrs of Otranto.
Martyrs of Otranto, Ora pro nobis!

For maintainers, particularly those supporting partner forces, the PK series offers a notable advantage over many Western and other Soviet-designed systems with its adjustable headspace. This feature significantly simplifies sustainment and repair in austere environments, with the ability to mismatch parts to keep guns up and set the headspace to keep them safe to operate. Unlike the AK, which requires careful bolt matching to achieve correct headspace and often demands higher-level support for barrel replacement, the PK allows maintainers to compensate for wear and component replacement through adjustment. This capability reduces downtime, eases logistical burdens, and keeps weapons operational longer.
Over 3,000 miles from home, and still training hard. More than 100 soldiers of the Royal Bermuda Regiment travelled to the UK in May 2026 for Exercise Active Shield 26, the battalion's annual overseas camp and the focal point of its collective training year. The exercise opened at Lydd Camp in Kent, where RBR troops alongside eight members of the Cayman Islands Regiment worked through public order scenarios in a purpose-built facility with The Royal Lancers playing the role of the crowd. By the time the camp wrapped at Catterick Garrison in North Yorkshire, the syllabus had expanded to include 300-metre range work, urban operations, and baton gun familiarization.

Back in the day of The Frugal Outdoorsman, Junior and I were playing with the old .30 WCF cartridge and I bought a Winchester 94 simply because I didn't have one and I saw one sitting forlornly in a used gun rack. Mine is nothing special. It was built in 1965, right after Winchester changed everything, and they called it the Antique Model. Purists said that this was Winchester's attempt at putting lipstick on a pig. I thought the price was right and bought it.
I immediately tapped out that execrable buckhorn sight and added a Williams peep. I added a saddle-ring to the left side of the receiver. I shot that rifle for several years as a test bed for castbullet.com, playing with cast bullet loads. I never made venison with it.
After Junior died, and my eyesight went to hell, that little rifle became a safe queen. I had changed shooting pursuits and didn't do much rifle work for about fifteen years. Last week, I was digging through the safe and found this little rifle and though how nice it would be to put an optic on it. The purists would howl, but it sure would make this a nice little rifle again.
If you know anything about gun restoration, you have heard of Turnbull Restoration. Turns out, they make an optics mount for the Winchester 94. If Turnbull is okay with it, the purists can kick rocks. This little mount uses the barrel dovetail to mount an optic. I ordered the mount pronto, then went over about bought a Burris FastFire4 optic. It has the Docter footprint that the Turnbull mount requires.
The sight has four reticles and I'll have to figure out which is more useful.
Installation was straight forward. Tiny screws and follow the directions.
I think it looks good. The purists may scoff, but that is their right.
The mount footprint is shorter than most one-piece cantilevers, which lets it sit on both full-length and split rail actions without forcing a compromise on scope clearance or optical alignment. That's practical engineering for shooters moving between platforms or building rifles on Remage actions where rail real estate gets tight. The cross-bolt design pins the scope securely in place, and the integrated bubble level lives in the top cap, letting you verify cant from your shooting position without breaking visual focus.
Mission First Tactical expands its holster lineup with the new AIWB WML, a light-bearing appendix rig designed to balance modularity with affordability. The holster accommodates Streamlight TLR series weapon-mounted lights and works with RMR reflex sights, positioning it squarely in the affordable concealed-carry space where versatility matters.
SilencerCo and Chaves Knives just announced a limited edition collaboration that only makes sense if you know why both companies relocated to Utah. The Dissident OTF is a purpose-built knife that borrows the visual language of the iconic Osprey suppressor, and it represents something both companies believe in: craftsmanship without compromise, made in the place where you can actually control the process.

Research done at the Crime Prevention Research Center and published in July of 2026 shows the percentage and number of people carrying concealed handguns continues to increase. A survey of 1000 people conducted by McLaughlin & Associates on July 22, 2026 shows significant increases in the carrying of concealed handguns. In the last 19 months, from December of 2024 to July of 2026, the percentage of likely voters who carried all or most of the time increased from 13% to 15.7%, an increase of 2.7% of the sample. Those who carry sometimes/rarely increased from 11% to 15.2% or 4.2% of the sample.
The total who carry increased from 24% in 2024 to 30.9% in 2026, or 6.9% of the sample.
Similarly, the total of those who say they never carry dropped from 73% to 66.6%, a 6.4% drop. Those who claim they "don't know" if they carry increased from 2% to 2.5%. The sample is of likely voters in general elections. Such a sample may or may not be indicative of the habits of non-voters.
20.1% of the respondents stated they possessed a concealed handgun permit. This is slightly lower than previous findings. The slightly lower number may be related to the increasing number of Constitutional Carry states, now at 29, where no permit is needed to carry a holstered handgun, openly or concealed, in most public spaces. 68.9% of the people who carry most or all of the time are located in Constitutional Carry states. The 29 Constitutional Carry states contain 47% of the population of the United States. The 29 Constitutional Carry states account for 68.8% of the land area of the United States of America. About 2/3 of the people who carry all or most of the time in Constitutional Carry state have a concealed carry permit. About half of the people who carry some of the time in Constitutional Carry states have a concealed carry permit.
People aged 18-40 carry at higher rates than people aged 41 and up. In ethnic groups, Hispanics carry at slightly higher rates than Blacks, Asians carry at the lowest levels, and White people and Other are in between. Republicans carry at higher rates than Democratic or Independent voters do. When ranked by ideology, very liberal voters carry at the highest rates, with 30.8% carrying all the time, vs 21.6% of very conservative voters carrying all the time.
Economic status shows the strongest correlation with carrying concealed handguns. Those who identified themselves as wealthy showed a percentage who carried all the time at 62.9%. Those who considered themselves upper middle class and who carried all the time were 28%. Those who considered themselves middle middle class showed 15.7% carrying all the time, lower middle class showed on 9% carrying all the time and only 7% of self identified poor people carried all the time. 4.1% of the sample considered themselves to be wealthy, and 15.5% of the sample considered themselves to be poor. 80.4% considered themselves to be in the middle class.
From the self-identified sample, it appears the average income of those who considered themselves to be wealthy was over $175K per year per household.
Analysis: These surveys commissioned by the Crime Prevention Research Center offer fascinating insight into the makeup of people who routinely go armed in the United States. The numbers and percentages keep increasing. While not all people who go armed support the Second Amendment, going armed increases the odds of valuing the Second Amendment. When a person goes about armed, it changes their mental set. They become more independent and aware. They are more likely to view those who seek to disarm them with suspicion. The wealthy in society tend to be those who set trends. The large percentage of wealthy who carry all the time suggest the percentage of people who carry will continue to increase.

Deputies responded to an Oneill Road home Sunday at 9 p.m. to check on a
report of a burglary. The homeowner, seeing the car of the suspects in
his driveway, shot out the tires of the vehicle, the sheriff’s office
said. Upon hearing the shots, the two suspects came out of the home with
their hands up and surrendered to the homeowner, who held them until
police arrived to arrest the pair.

The man arrived unannounced and "became involved in a
physical altercation with the homeowner and attempted to force his way
into the residence," LCSO said. "During the incident, the homeowner
discharged a firearm, striking the male subject."
The man was pronounced deceased at the scene.

One witness, described in court documents as a security guard who also
manages the club, told police no one was hurt in the initial fight, and
it happened quickly. But Klotz then followed Rinker back to his car. The
witness said they heard multiple gunshots and saw Klotz fall to the
ground. Rinker allegedly “swept” his gun toward the witness and others
around him, so the witness told police they fired shots at Rinker but
weren’t sure if they hit him.
Another witness told police that even after shooting Klotz, Rinker
allegedly stood over him and fired about five more shots, according to
court documents.
Before police got to the scene, Rinker – who did have a gunshot wound
– drove himself to the hospital, according to court documents.
The security guard tried to aid Klotz, who did not have a gun and
wasn’t known to carry one. Klotz was taken to a hospital where he was
pronounced dead. The Allen County Coroner ruled it a homicide.

The victim told officers he was sitting at the apartment steps when some men pointed a gun at him and started shooting.
He said he fired back in self-defense and ran inside the apartment while bleeding to get his brother to seek medical help.

his apartment when four men walked past him and toward where the victim
was sitting.
The witness said he heard a shooting and the suspects then fled the scene, officers said.

The bill says most of the replacement law is intended to commence on September 23, 2026, with the complete package phased in by February 23, 2028. Those dates explain why different provisions may change at different times. They do not eliminate Royal Assent or the need for supporting regulations and agency guidance.
The G11 represents a peculiar Cold War tragedy: a rifle so technically advanced that it arrived exactly at the moment its creator could no longer afford it. Developed across two decades by a West German consortium and completed in 1990, this caseless-ammunition assault rifle was supposed to define NATO's second-generation infantry firepower. Instead, it vanished into H&K's Gray Room like a weapon from an alternate timeline that refused to happen.
Colt was the king of the wheelgun world in the 1800s, even though other manufacturers made arguably better revolvers. That’s because Colt’s reputation was built on the rough, tough frontier; they were the first company to sell revolvers, and their handguns were arguably the reason that Texans were able to fight off the Comanche warriors during the 1840s and 1850s. That was the start of decades of revolver firepower dominating the West, from the Mexican-American War to the California Gold Rush to the Civil War and the Indian Wars. Colt made full-sized revolvers that dominated the battlefields as well as personal conflicts in frontier towns.

Derya Arms has officially launched the MAX in the United States, a completely new proprietary magazine-fed 12-gauge shotgun built from the ground up rather than an evolution of the company's existing DY12 line. The MAX made its public debut at the GOA GOALS 2026 summit and is now in production in small quantities at Derya's Jacksonville, Florida facility, with shipping to authorized dealers beginning in September 2026.
Bill Rapier over at Amtac Blades is rolling out a slimmer version of one of his most established fixed blades. The Minuteman II Slim keeps the same 4-inch full flat ground blade and 7 3/4-inch overall length as the standard Minuteman II, but drops blade stock from 3/16 inch to 0.15 inch, about a 20 percent reduction. That thinner stock also cuts blade weight from 4.7 ounces to 4.3 ounces. Handle length remains at 3 3/4 inches, so the Slim fits in the same low-profile belt sheaths as the rest of the Minuteman II line. MagnaCut, like other offerings, will remain as the blade steel, trading a bit of edge retention against something like M390 (like my NorthmanX) for better toughness and corrosion resistance.

WOOX just released an upgrade path for Mossberg pump-action owners who've wanted to improve their shotguns' ergonomics without swapping platforms entirely.

Today's mass murder history incident is an arson that killed 19 and injured 28. An unemployed laborer resident in what had been a nice hotel in an earlier era vented his drunken anger at other tenants by lighting a flyer that burned down the hotel. It was part of that fortunately short-lived architectural design with open staircases that "acted as chimney flues, shooting the flames to upper floors within minutes." (This was the initial report. A few weeks later, as they finished excavation, the death toll rose.)
If you watched the original Blade Runner, you saw an interesting structure with these open staircases: the Bradbury Building.
It has appeared in many films. I was called to eleven incredibly boring days of jury duty in downtown Los Angeles in 1980-1982 period. During the long lunch breaks, I walked all over the area, visiting the Bradbury Building and the iconic City Hall.
An exhibit there showed 1900 city election ballots. Only three parties were on the ballot: Democrat, Democratic Socialist, Socialist.

As I prepared to head out to the screen porch for an evening smoke and sip, I was in the mood for an Old Fashioned. I quickly mixed the drink right in the glass and dropped in a large ice cube. In the interest of brevity, I skipped grabbing an orange peel. A dash of orange bitters made up for its absence. I did not, however, forgo the requisite Luxardo cherry.
For the spirit, I opted for Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel, hoping its toasted oak and caramelized character would give the cocktail a slightly smoky edge. Despite the mixologist shortcuts, the drink proved enjoyable and flavorful.
I selected an Aganorsa Leaf Rare Leaf Reserve Maduro to accompany the Old Fashioned. The cigar uses a Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler. It’s a full-bodied cigar that delivers rich and complex flavors of dark chocolate, coffee, and cedar, with mild pepper and a touch of sweetness emerging on the finish.
The Toasted Barrel Old Fashioned brought a mild smoky, caramelized character that echoed the dark, sweet profile of the cigar. Early in the pairing, the cocktail’s vanilla and caramel notes balanced the cigar’s sweeter chocolate and creamy notes. As the smoke progressed, the Aganorsa’s darker espresso, cocoa, and spice notes increasingly came to the forefront.
The tobaccos combined to produce a substantial, earthy Nicaraguan core beneath the cocoa and coffee. Even as the cigar became richer, the toasted oak and vanilla of the Old Fashioned complemented that richness while adding a subtle lift to the pairing.
Overall, this was a natural match. The maduro’s dark, sweet tobacco character paired especially well with the toasted oak and caramel notes of the cocktail, with the whiskey’s vanilla helping to soften and balance the cigar’s deeper flavors. The compact cigar also made for a relatively short smoke, lasting just about 50 minutes — long enough to enjoy the pairing without turning it into an all-evening affair.
Sometimes taking a few shortcuts is worth it.
Cheers!

Task&Purpose reported that US Special Operations Command is looking for a new light machine gun to replace the current special forces light machine gun, the MK 46. The MK 46 was adopted in 2003 and used extensively during the Global War on Terror by various special mission units.
The Security Service of Ukraine's Main Directorate of Internal Security usually doesn't headline its work. Their post is sparse by design, a reminder that the backbone of any special operation lives in the shadows, with personnel who keep operations classified until results already hit the news. What surfaces are the weapons: CZ Scorpion EVO 3 and BREN 2, both proven submachine gun and rifle platforms trusted across European law enforcement and military units. The sights look like they’re from Aimpoint.
