Every gunsmith has secrets he would never share with a competitor. Here are a few you can claim as your own (but don’t tell anyone else).

This rifle needs little introduction, but a gas-operated semi-automatic military rifle is always a bit more challenging to work with than most sporting rifles. The Garand uses an en bloc clip rather than a box magazine, and is very reliable with proper loads. But like many rifles, the Garand was produced quickly on a wartime footing, and variations are to be expected in the original WW II production. The tolerances are designed to allow mass production more than precise accuracy. Just the same, the Garand is a wonderful rifle and a good shooter, and deserves the respect it’s earned as part of our American heritage.

The congregating arsenal was all perfectly legal as well as perfectly acceptable to the leaders of New Bethel, an Assemblies of God church in Louisville, Kentucky, that invited people to bring their unloaded guns to this first-ever event.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. -- Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: SWHC), parent company of Smith & Wesson Corp., today announced financial results for the fiscal year and the fourth fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2009.

Nikon Presents The New 10x25 Realtree Outdoors Compact

Nikon Presents The New 10x25 Realtree Outdoors Compact

Nikon Sport Optics is pleased to introduce the new 10x25 Realtree Outdoors Compact Binocular. Bearing the name of one of the most popular hunting shows of all time, this binocular packs Nikon’s advanced optics into a very user-friendly size.

“Not every hunter needs or wants a full sized binocular,” notes Jon LaCorte, Nikon’s Senior Product Marketing Manager. “This binocular won’t take up very much space and it is surprisingly easy on your budget.”

Lightweight and pocket sized, the 10x25 Realtree Outdoors compact is 4.5 x 4.8 inches (2.8 inches when folded) and weighs-in at a mere 9.5 ounces. The binocular is mated with a rubber armored, Realtree APG camouflage exterior that provides added shock resistance and a firm grip.

Although pocket sized, this fold-up compact binocular is big on features. The Realtree Outdoors comes with fold-down rubber eyecups, precisely cut lens and prism glass for clarity, and features multicoated lenses for maximum light transmission and image quality.

Perfect for every budget, the 10x25 Realtree Outdoors Compact carries a list price of $98.95. Like all Nikon binoculars, the Realtree Outdoors Binoculars are covered by Nikon's 25-year limited warranty and the exclusive No-Fault Repair/Replacement policy.

Nikon Inc. is the U.S. distributor of Nikon sports and recreational optics, world-renowned Nikon 35mm cameras, digital cameras, speedlights and accessories, Nikkor lenses and electronic imaging products.
