Food for thought Our enemies will lead us to believe that we are incapable of defending ourselves and should let them do it. - Mike W. Smith, Guned.com Did you know? From 1964 until 1967 Winchester sacrificed quality to maintain low pricing and buyers began using the phrase "pre 64" to describe the better made and therefore more desireable Winchesters. During the summer of 1931, it was rumoured that Remington was about to acquire Winchester. Later that year Winchester was in fact sold to the Western Cartridge Company. Following the closing of Winchester's New Haven, Connecticut plant in 2007, the Savage Model 110 has passed the Winchester Model 70 as the oldest continuously manufactured bolt action rifle in America.

Article Of The Moment The term Doglock refers to the lock that superseded the true flintlock in both rifles and pistols in the 17th century. Commonly used throughout Europe in the 1600's, it gained popular favor in the British and Dutch military. Much like the later flintlock devices it contained the flint, frizzen, and pan, yet had an external catch as a half cock safety, known as the "dog". This added safety to the firearm in that it would not accidentally go off "half-cocked". This fell out of favor with the British before 1720. Later flintlocks would contain no such catch. References
