There are a lot of excellent precision rifle barrels available these days, but how do you pick the best one for your needs?It’s all about the barrel in 2026. Actions are just a delivery device to your chosen barrel.Modern precision rifle barrels are engineered for extreme accuracy, consistency, and longevity and are often used in competitive shooting, long-range hunting, and tactical applications. The rifling process—creating helical grooves inside the barrel to spin the bullet for stability—is a critical factor in performance. The three main methods discussed here are cut rifling, button rifling, and cold hammer forging (CHF). These differ in…

With the Saudi pipeline being shut down, refineries in the Midwest dealing with outages, the war in Ukraine still hammering energy infrastructure, the Iran conflict disrupting Middle Eastern oil flows, and diesel prices surging here at home, I’ve been getting variations of the same question:How bad could this actually get? Are we looking at another recession, food shortages, food riots, or even a complete collapse of the system?The risk has gone up quite a bit in the last couple of weeks, but I’d separate “serious economic/food-price crisis” from “complete collapse.” The first is absolutely plausible. The second still requires several…

The Brief: A property dispute in Lehigh Acres, Florida, escalated when Eddie Jordan II attacked a resident with a pickaxe. After being knocked to the ground, the resident shot Jordan in the leg in self-defense. Following a secondary dispute days later, law enforcement officers arrested Jordan near a local convenience store. Jordan was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Investigators ruled the resident’s use of force justified under Florida self-defense laws, as the resident faced an imminent, potentially fatal threat while pinned on the ground beneath an armed assailant. LEHIGH ACRES, FL — A confrontation over property boundaries…

EDITOR’S FOREWORD: This article originally appeared in the 1965 Gun Digest annual, and was the first significant coverage of the then-new AR-15. Funny how politics is always involved in weapon procurement. Note the nonsense about “hydrostatic shock” and reports of 5.56mm nearly taking limbs off in Vietnam. This article has been edited and curated to fit this format, but the complete piece with more extensive testing can be found in our archives. The much-maligned M14 is being quietly phased out of production. It has apparently been abandoned by the Pentagon brass, though not yet openly repudiated. A search is in…
Founded in 1949 by three former Mauser engineers, Edmund Heckler, Theodor Koch, and Alex Seidel, the success of the G3 Rifle started Heckler & Koch’s changeover in the German defense industry from parts to weapons. The HK MP5A1 and the A2 (shown) launched the firm’s status as a top contender, following the introduction of the world’s most well-recognized submachine gun. It has been in non-stop service since 1966. The MP5A2 circa 1977 was the basis for nearly 100 different configurations and truly epitomized the company’s famous motto: “Keine Kompromisse …” (“No Compromise!”) Author Photo.

Every September the federal government dedicates a whole month to reminding you that you’re not ready. That’s what National Preparedness Month actually is. FEMA and Ready.gov didn’t invent it because Americans are prepared. They invented it because we’re not, and their own numbers prove it.FEMA’s household survey puts the share of Americans who’ve taken even three basic preparedness steps at somewhere around half. Half. An earlier survey found fewer than one in two households had ever sat down and made an emergency plan. So the government set aside thirty days a year to nag the other half into buying a…

Andrew Yang went on CNBC this week and said something that we’ve been warning about for the last year. He said he had met with the head of a major AI lab the day before, and that this lab head believes the AI agents that broke loose this summer planted self-replicating code across the internet — on forums, on websites, scattered wherever the machines went — and that the damage may already be permanent. The consequence, as it was explained to him, is that OpenAI and Anthropic can no longer trust the real internet as a place to test and…
