New for 2026, The Working Lever Action Essentials: The Chiappa 92 Core

Posted on Wednesday, 8 April, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

New for 2026, The Working Lever Action Essentials: The Chiappa 92 Core

Dayton, OH (April 7, 2026) – The Chiappa 92 Core in the Wildlands series is built around one priority: a lever-action that stays simple, fast, and ready without drifting into range-toy excess. It is intended to be a working rifle that shoulders naturally, cycles smoothly, and carries the features that matter most when the moment is short and conditions are not ideal. Chiappa describes it as focused on “simplicity, instinct, and reliability,” which defines the Core: practical configuration, purposeful features, and a classic platform enhanced with Wildlands refinement.

Each Wildlands rifle brings a unique, practical approach to the lever-gun market. Designed for optimal usability and versatility, Wildlands Lever Action Rifles represent a balanced blend of useful and classic design. With modern additions, each Wildlands rifle addresses needs that traditional aesthetics did not fully accommodate decades, and in some cases centuries, ago. The 92 Core has an angle eject versus top eject action, allowing for an optional picatinny mount for the purpose of adding an optic. The forend of the handsome walnut stock features three integrated M-LOK slots for tastefully mounting modern firearm accessories.

The 92 Core is chambered in .44 MAG and feeds 8+1, pairing a proven lever-action format with a cartridge that remains well suited for woods distances, property use, and close-to-mid-range hunting. Its 16.5-inch (419mm) barrel keeps the rifle compact and responsive. Chiappa threads the muzzle 5/8×24, providing compatibility with modern muzzle devices where legal and practical.

This lever gun does not require extensive explanation to justify its purpose. It is built to be intuitive. The Core format maintains clean, approachable handling, designed to mount quickly and remain balanced in the hands. For shooters seeking a lever-action that functions as a field tool rather than a display piece, the 92 Core occupies a practical position: compact barrel length, practical capacity, and modern muzzle threading while retaining the traditional spirit that defines the platform.

The 92 Core expands the Wildlands lever-action family with a disciplined configuration built for real use, responsive handling, and the core specifications shooters expect in a modern lever gun. With a traditional look and feel, and without unnecessary accessories or overbearing rail systems, the 92 Core meets the needs of backwoods users and lever-gun enthusiasts alike.

For more information, please visit WWW.CHIAPPAUSA.COM.

Series: Wildlands

Galco is ready for Springfield Armory’s new SA-35 4"!

Posted on Wednesday, 8 April, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Galco is ready for Springfield Armory’s new SA-35 4″!

April 2026

Springfield Armory just released the SA-35 4″, and Galco is ready with holsters for this outstanding new addition to the Springfield pistol lineup.

The Combat Master™ is a professional-grade, hand-molded belt holster. A traditional, high-riding pancake-style design that places the belt-slots on either side of the holster, it pulls the handgun tight to the body to make concealed-carry guns disappear. It features an open top with firing grip accessibility for speed and simplicity. Premium steerhide construction with double-stitched seams enhance durability, while twin slots fit belts up to 1 ¾”.

Comfortable and convenient, the Summer Comfort™ IWB features a snap-on design that allows the holster to attach and detach from the belt without removing the belt. Reinforced premium steerhide construction retains its shape when the handgun is removed, allowing easy return to the holster. Smooth-out leather construction rides comfortably against the body, and features full firing grip clearance for a sure draw. It’s supplied with removable black belt loops fitting belts up to 1 3/4”.

The Miami Classic™ horizontal shoulder system, the flagship of Galco’s holster line, is quite possibly the most imitated shoulder holster in the world. Constructed of premium steerhide, it includes holster, harness and magazine carrier. All four points of the spider harness pivot independently and are connected by our unique clover shaped Flexalon™ swivel back plate, resulting in a perfect fit and lasting comfort for all body sizes and shapes.

The renowned Yaqui Slide was ushered into the modern era of holster design in 1992 when Galco added a set of independent tension screw adjustments, allowing for a custom fit to the firearm and micro-adjustment of the draw stroke. The minimalist design and near-vertical carry angle make the Yaqui Slide very fast to draw from, while securing the firearm during everyday activity. Constructed of premium steerhide, the Yaqui Slide fits belts up to 1 3/4″.

We also offer a full line of magazine carriers for the SA-35 4″, as well as our popular Underwraps™ 2.0 belly band.

Posted on Tuesday, 7 April, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Spartan Precision Equipment’s Springbok Bipod Delivers Precise Shot Placement from Prone to Kneeling

East Sussex, UK (April 6, 2026) — Spartan Precision Equipment is proud to highlight its Springbok Bipod, recently named Outdoor Life’s “Best Stalking Bipod of 2025.” Engineered for hunters who demand speed, adaptability, and precision, the Springbok Bipod delivers rapid shooting position changes without the need for mechanical adjustments, allowing seamless transitions from prone to kneeling while maintaining precise shot placement in dynamic hunting environments.

Crafted for the rigors of backcountry use, the Springbok Bipod features Spartan’s patented MagnaSwitch™ quick detach system, allowing users to attach or remove the bipod in seconds without latches or buttons. Its innovative silicone body allows for fluid movement and natural cant compensation, while quiet, intuitive height adjustments minimize disturbance in the field. Built with hard-anodized 7075-T7351 aluminum, premium multi-layered carbon fiber, and durable steel tips with tethered synthetic boots, the bipod weighs just 10.6 ounces and adjusts from 19½ inches to 38½ inches, making it ideal for late-season hunts and diverse terrain.

The Springbok Bipod is part of Spartan Precision Equipment’s broader Springbok family, which includes the Springbok Tripod and Springbok Quad. Each product is designed to integrate seamlessly with the MagnaSwitch™ system, allowing hunters to switch between bipod, tripod, and quad-stick configurations quickly and without tools. This modular setup offers unmatched versatility, enabling users to adapt instantly to changing conditions in the field.

At the core of the Springbok system is the innovative Silicone Head, which offers smooth, silent articulation and a secure grip on the rifle without causing damage. Paired with the MagnaSwitch™ Magnetic Attachment System, the connection between the rifle and support is both quick and reliable, designed for dependability when every second counts.

“Every element of the Springbok System is crafted for real-world conditions,” said Rob Gearing, owner and designer of Spartan Precision Equipment. “Whether you’re tracking fast-moving game or preparing for a precise long-range shot, The Springbok bipod provides the freedom to move quickly and shoot with confidence. This bipod, known among my friends as ‘The Chopsticks of Death,’ reflects its unique design—held in the hand by a flexible rubber hinge, it moves almost like chopsticks, offering a level of control and responsiveness that’s entirely different from any other traditional shooting supports.”

Built for speed, strength, and simplicity, the Springbok Bipod represents a new standard in shooting support systems. The MSRP for the Springbok Bipod is $249.99.

The commander-sized Double Agent features a shorter, thinner aluminum grip that minimizes printing, making it more discreet than other double-stack 1911s in our Nighthawk lineup. The texture matches the look and feel of the knurling on the slide without being so rough that it’s abrasive on bare skin or catches on clothing.

Statement on YFQ-42A Flight Incident

Posted on Tuesday, 7 April, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub



STATEMENT ON YFQ-42A CCA FLIGHT INCIDENT

SAN DIEGO – 06 April 2026 – A YFQ-42A Collaborative Combat Aircraft test platform experienced a mishap following takeoff from a company-owned airport in the California desert on Monday at approximately 1 p.m. Pacific.

No one was injured in the incident. Flight test operations have been paused temporarily in an abundance of caution.

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) is assessing the condition of the aircraft and investigating to establish the root cause of the incident. At this early stage, it would be premature to speculate on the circumstances. As with any program, we follow a disciplined investigation process to understand exactly what occurred, and our focus right now is on gathering data and ensuring we learn from this event.

The aircraft is one of several production-representative YFQ-42A CCAs currently in low-rate initial production for the U.S. Air Force. The jets fly regularly at company-owned facilities as part of their operational test and evaluation program. These flight operations will resume when deemed appropriate.

“Safety is our top priority, for our people and the public. In this case, established procedures and safeguards worked as intended, and there were no injuries,” said C. Mark Brinkley, a company spokesman. “We’re going to take a close look at what happened, gather all the data, and allow the investigation to guide us moving forward.”

About GA-ASI

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world’s foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 9 million flight hours, the Predator^® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper^®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle^®, MQ-20 Avenger^®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian^®/SeaGuardian^®.

Big Horn Armory (BHA) Expands AR500 NEXT GEN Platform with Three New Cerakote Finish Options

Big Horn Armory (BHA) Expands AR500 NEXT GEN Platform with Three New Cerakote® Finish Options

Desert Sand, OD Green, and Burnt Bronze Cerakote® finishes now available on the world’s most powerful semi-automatic AR platform.

Cody, Wyo. (April 2026) – Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, today announced three new Cerakote® finish options for its AR500 NEXT GEN platform: Desert Sand, OD Green, and Burnt Bronze. Available now across the full AR500 NEXT GEN lineup, including the Rifle, Pistol, and complete Upper assemblies, these new finishes give shooters expanded options to personalize the most powerful semi-automatic AR platform on the market.

The AR500 NEXT GEN platform is chambered in .500 Auto Max, a rimless cartridge derived from the .500 S&W Magnum that delivers exceptional energy and stopping power. Built around a familiar AR-style architecture, the platform combines the handling and accessory compatibility shooters already know with the immense capability of a big-bore cartridge. Whether configured as a rifle, pistol, or a conversion upper for existing AR10 lowers, the AR500 NEXT GEN is purpose-built for hunters, sportsmen, and professionals demanding unmatched performance at close to medium range.

The three new Cerakote finishes are designed to meet the demands of diverse environments and shooter preferences. Desert Sand offers a light, field-ready tone well-suited for arid terrain and open-country hunting. OD Green provides a classic tactical appearance long favored by hunters and professionals operating in woodland or mixed environments. Burnt Bronze delivers a distinctive, premium finish that accentuates the rifle’s modern design and sets it apart from standard offerings. All three finishes provide the durable, corrosion-resistant protection Cerakote is known for in the field and on the range.

“The AR500 NEXT GEN is already the most powerful semi-automatic rifle on the market, and we’ve always believed that performance should come with the ability to make it your own,” said Greg Buchel, Owner of Big Horn Armory. “Desert Sand, OD Green, and Burnt Bronze give shooters the ability to match their rifle to their environment and their style, without compromising any of the reliability and power the AR500 NEXT GEN platform is built on. We’re excited to offer these options and continue expanding what’s possible with big-bore semi-automatic performance.”

The AR500 NEXT GEN Rifle and Pistol are each priced at $2,399.00, while the complete Upper assemblies, available in both rifle and pistol configurations, are priced at $1,200.00. All models with the new Cerakote finish options are available now at www.bighornarmory.com and through authorized dealers nationwide.

About Big Horn Armory:

Big Horn Armory was founded in 2008 with the expressed intention of designing a Browning-type lever-action gun chambered in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The Big Horn Armory Model 89, made in America, closely follows the work of John Browning with refinements courtesy of modern metallurgy and machining capabilities. The first rifles began shipping in September of 2012 and since then, BHA has added to their big bore lineup with a Model 90 Carbine in 460 S&W, the Model 90A in 454 Casull, the Model 90B in .45 Colt, the Model 89A in 500 Linebaugh and the Model 89B in .475 Linebaugh. In 2017, Big Horn Armory took a departure from its lever-action series and developed the AR500 Auto Max, the most powerful short-range, semi-auto based on an AR .308 platform.
