Rochester, New Hampshire (August 4, 2025) – Thompson/Center Arms, the storied New Hampshire firearms innovator recently returned to independent, family‑owned status, today announced the acquisition of Green Mountain Rifle Barrel Company.

Escort Shotguns Introduces the Slugger and Slugger Tact: Rugged, Reliable, and Ready for Action

Posted on Tuesday, 5 August, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Escort Shotguns Introduces the Slugger and Slugger Tact: Rugged, Reliable, and Ready for Action

Rogers, AR (August 4, 2025) – Designed with simplicity, durability, and affordability, the purpose-driven Slugger and Slugger Tact are tailored to meet the demands of shooters looking for dependable performance in home defense or sporting applications. Whether protecting what matters most or looking for a field-ready companion, the Slugger series delivers function without compromise.

The Slugger is built for both security and sporting use. Chambered in 12 gauge with a 3″ magnum chamber and an 18″ barrel with a fixed cylinder choke, the Slugger is engineered for maximum versatility with both shot and slugs. The oxidation-resistant chrome-plated steel barrel is proof-tested at the factory to ensure maximum durability, and its alloy receiver is built to withstand harsh use in real-world conditions. A rugged synthetic stock and forend, soft rubber buttpad, and fixed blade front sight round out a configuration ready for the field, the range, or the home.

For those seeking a tactical edge, the Slugger Tact offers all the core strengths of the original Slugger with purpose-driven enhancements. It includes a rubberized ergonomic pistol grip for superior control, a 5-shell holder integrated into the buttstock for rapid reloads, and a Picatinny rail on the forend for mounting optics or lights. Like its sibling, the Tact features an 18″ chrome-plated, proof-tested barrel, a 3″ magnum chamber, and a rugged alloy receiver. With its soft rubber buttpad and fixed blade front sight, the Slugger Tact is suited for close-quarters engagements and fast target acquisition.

Both shotguns feature a 5+1 capacity tube magazine, manual cross-button trigger safety, mounted sling studs for carry flexibility, and overall lengths of 38″. Weighing in at 6.4 lbs (Slugger) and 6.5 lbs (Slugger Tact), each shotgun is lightweight enough for fast maneuvering, yet tough enough to take a beating. Escort designed every component with a purpose—no frills, just proven materials and a platform that gets the job done.

What sets the Slugger series apart is not just its durability or tactical features—it is the focus and appreciation of practical simplicity. Escort has streamlined the pump-action mechanism for smooth cycling and low maintenance, making both models perfect for first-time owners, experienced shooters, or anyone who values reliability under pressure. These shotguns deliver confident performance from hunting brush to guarding the homestead.

At price points that respect the family budget, the Escort Slugger and Slugger Tact deliver serious value without sacrificing performance. Built from quality materials, proof-tested at the factory, and backed by Escort’s commitment to reliability, these shotguns are a wise addition to any firearm safe, whether for protection, sport, or survival.

Good Things Come in Threes: Charles Daly’s Triple Threat

Posted on Tuesday, 5 August, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Good Things Come in Threes: Charles Daly’s Triple Threat

Dayton, OH (August 4, 2025) — The roles of firearms are well-defined in modern shooting sports. Often, firearms come with a specific and set purpose, with little room for flexibility. Specific shotguns are designed and built around a task at hand, and while they do jump categories, they rarely succeed with exceptionalism. Charles Daly aims to change that notion and has developed the Triple Threat, a three-barreled shotgun capable of handling a broad and diverse range of tasks with grace and awe.

Each Triple Threat is a three-barreled shotgun capable of delivering the right type of shot at the right kind of target. Manufactured for use with 3-inch or smaller shells, the Triple Threat comes in 12-gauge, 20-gauge, 28-gauge, or 410. The Triple Threat is a three-barreled 12-gauge shotgun with removable Remington threaded chokes. Each Triple Threat is delivered with C, IC, M, IM, and F chokes for various practical applications and uses.

The 18.5-inch steel barrel is supported by a break-action design for ease of use and fast reloading. Manual safety measures protect the firearm from accidental discharge when not in use or in the field. Despite the three individual barrels, the Triple Threat measures 35.5 inches overall and weighs only 8.2 lbs.

The finish of the Triple Threat might as well be called the ‘fourth threat’ as the checkered walnut completes the firearm with a pristine look and feel—both the stock and forend feature matching walnut. The forend is a two-piece design suitable for all types of handling and all variations of ammunition types. Alternatively, a black synthetic stock outfitted with a picatinny rail is available for tactical and defensive applications.

For those who need a shotgun that does more than any other, Charles Daly’s Triple Threat has you covered. No range, clay, game, or intruder is safe from the versatility and practicality of the Triple Threat.

Features

Caliber: 12 GA-3”
Action: Break Open
Barrel Length: 18.5” (470 mm)
Capacity: 3 Rounds
Feed In: Manual
Trigger System: Single Non-Selective Mechanical Reset
Stock: Hand Oiled 2-Piece Chk. Walnut
Forend: Hand Oiled Chk. Walnut
Safety: Manual
Chokes: Rem Choke Threads, MC-5 (C, IC, M, IM, F)

NSSF Hails President Trump’s National Shooting Sports Month Message

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF^®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, hails President Donald Trump’s Presidential Message celebrating National Shooting Sports Month^® posted by The White House this morning. The firearm industry celebrates President Trump’s commitment to preserving Second Amendment rights and is enthusiastically encouraged by his pledge to keep alive the American tradition of responsible firearm ownership for law-abiding citizens for future generations.

“What a difference an election makes. We now have a White House administration that celebrates our national character of responsible firearm ownership and the freedoms that ‘define our Republic,’ which is a sea change from the previous administration that attacked our Second Amendment rights and demonized the firearm industry,” said Joe Bartozzi, President and CEO of NSSF. “The firearm industry is grateful to President Trump for his commitment to protecting our liberties and freedoms and his celebration and encouragement of all Americans to participate in the shooting sports.”

President Trump’s message highlighted the characteristics of “focus, discipline, and confidence” that lawful firearm ownership and shooting sports participation instills in citizens. President Trump reiterated his promise to defend Second Amendment freedoms that he made during the campaign for office with his recent National Shooting Sports Month message when he stated, “For as long as I am President, the Federal Government will abide by the premise that the God-given right to bear arms shall not be infringed.”

Now in its eighth year, National Shooting Sports Month encourages all Americans to experience the excitement of target shooting while promoting safe and responsible firearm use. Ranges, retailers, manufacturers and industry partners across the country are joining forces to host special events, training sessions and promotions throughout the month.

About NSSF

NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.

When You Catch More Than a Ray of Sunshine: Discover the Delicious Side of Stingray with Hi Mountain Seasonings

Posted on Tuesday, 5 August, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

When You Catch More Than a Ray of Sunshine:
Discover the Delicious Side of Stingray with Hi Mountain Seasonings

RIVERTON, Wyo. (Aug. 4, 2025) — When you pull up a stingray instead of your intended catch, don’t be too quick to toss it overboard. Hi Mountain Seasonings says, “Don’t waste it – taste it!” Stingrays and skates might look unusual and feel intimidating to clean, but they’re surprisingly easy to prepare and incredibly flavorful.

“We’re always seeking ways to help anglers maximize their catch,” said Hans Hummel, president and owner of Hi Mountain Seasonings. “Stingray is one of those hidden gems – mild, versatile, and delicious when prepared with our brines and seasonings.”
Stingray is a safe, mild, and tender white fish with a subtle sweetness and richness similar to crab or scallops. Its texture is firm but delicate, often compared to scallops with a slight springiness that makes each bite memorable. Found in warm waters worldwide, stingray is a readily available and underrated catch.
Beyond its flavor, stingray is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to support heart health, reduce inflammation, and enhance brain function. Stingray also contains phosphorus, which aids memory. Recent studies suggest stingray may even have cancer-fighting properties, making it a nutrient-dense choice both on your plate and in the water.
Preparing Stingray – Crucial Steps for Success
1. Barb Removal – Carefully remove the venomous barb from the tail immediately after catching it. Wear heavy gloves and use proper tools.
2. Clean & Skin – Rinse thoroughly. Use a sharp fillet knife to remove the tough skin from the wings.
3. Remove the Meat – Carefully fillet the edible “wing” meat away from the cartilage.
4. Tenderize – Soak the fillets in Hi Mountain Seasonings Gourmet Fish Brine (follow package instructions).
Hi Mountain Seasonings offers a complete line of brines, rubs, and shaker seasonings that elevate any fish dish to new heights. From classic Gourmet Fish Brine to bold Taco Seasonings and Gourmet Fish Seasonings, these products make preparing your catch simple and delicious.
Recipe Spotlight: Smoked Stingray Tacos
Ingredients
Stingray
Hi Mountain Seasonings Gourmet Fish Brine
Hi Mountain Seasoning Taco Seasonings
Favorite taco toppings (tomato, lettuce, shredded cheese, avocado, sour cream)
Directions
1. Cut and skin stingray wings
2. Prepare and apply the Gourmet Fish Brine according to the instructions.
3. Rinse the ray. Soak in water for 30 minutes. Rinse again and air dry for 1 hour.
4. Preheat pellet grill to 225 F.
5. Season with Hi Mountain Seasonings Taco Seasoning on all sides.
6. Smoke until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
7. Let cool, then shred meat like pulled pork.
8. Mix in additional Taco Seasonings.
9. Sauté shredded meat briefly in olive oil until warm.
10. Build tacos with your favorite topping and enjoy!
Anglers aren’t always excited to see a stingray on the line, but these fascinating fish are plentiful, fun to catch, and absolutely delicious when prepared correctly. Whether fishing, bowfishing, or gigging, try turning your next stingray into a culinary delight with Hi Mountain Seasonings – your go-to partner for brines, rubs, and seasonings that bring out the best in any catch.

U.S. ARMY AWARDS $4.9 MILLION CONTRACT FOR MORE FN® M240L MEDIUM MACHINE GUNS

Posted on Monday, 4 August, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

U.S. ARMY AWARDS $4.9 MILLION CONTRACT FOR MORE FN^® M240L MEDIUM MACHINE GUNS

(McLean, VA — July 1, 2025) FN America, LLC is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a $4.9 million contract to supply the U.S. Army with additional FN^® M240L medium machine guns. The M240L was originally adopted by the U.S. Army in 2010, after a joint development effort with FN to create a lighter, yet durable, medium machine gun.

The M240L has been the cutting-edge for lightweight medium machine guns with an overall weight reduction of five pounds from its predecessor, the FN^® M240B, without any impact to performance or longevity. The 18 percent weight reduction was achieved by incorporating titanium into the design, including the receiver, and introducing new manufacturing methods to adjust for the material properties.

“The M240L continues the collaborative effort between FN, the U.S. Army and the individual soldier to provide the most effective weapon systems for the warfighter,” said Mark Cherpes, President and CEO for FN America, LLC. “The development saw the introduction of new materials along with new manufacturing techniques that have paved the way for the future generation of military equipment. We are extremely proud of this product and look forward to working with the U.S. Army to deliver against this contract.”

The M240 general purpose machine gun (7.62x51mm NATO), derived from the FN^® MAG 58, was adopted by the U.S. military in the late 1970s, and has been in continual service since being introduced. FN has created multiple variants of the M240, including the M240 coaxial, the M240B, M240L, M240D and M240H models.

Throughout its history, FN has been one of the largest suppliers of small arms to the U.S. military and continues to develop innovative, future technology. In addition to the M240 and its variants, the company currently holds contracts for the FN^® M249 lightweight machine gun; the FN^® MK 46, MK 48, MK 17 and MK 20 SSR for USSOCOM and various other contracts.

For more information about FN’s military product line or current U.S. military contracts, please visit www.FNAmerica.com.

ASA, NRA, SAF, and FPC File Lawsuit Challenging Constitutionality of the NFA!

Posted on Monday, 4 August, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, a coalition of four leading gun rights organizations comprised of the American Suppressor Association (ASA), Firearms Policy Coalition, National Rifle Association (NRA), and Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), announced the filing of Brown v. ATF a joint federal lawsuit in the Eastern District of Missouri challenging the constitutionality of the National Firearms Act (NFA). In 1937, the Supreme Court ruled that the NFA was primarily a revenue-generating measure and the registration requirements of the statute served to verify who had paid the required tax. With the tax rate of $0 as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill, the constitutionality of requiring suppressor owners to register with the federal government is no longer valid. This litigation joins Anderson v. Raoul, and Padua v. Platkin, the ASA Foundation and Silencer Shop—backed lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the ban on suppressors in Illinois and New Jersey, at the forefront of pro-suppressor litigation.

SIG SAUER Experience Center Museum: Medal of Honor Recipient – Captain Larry L. Taylor Tribute

Posted on Friday, 1 August, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

SIG SAUER Experience Center Museum: Medal of Honor Recipient – Captain Larry L. Taylor Tribute

NEWINGTON, N.H., (July 31, 2025) – SIG SAUER, a leading American defense and outdoor products manufacturer, is proud to honor Medal of Honor Recipient Captain Larry L. Taylor with a tribute display at the SIG SAUER Experience Center Museum. The display was unveiled July 11, 2025, and will be showcased for a year before being transferred to the National Medal of Honor Heritage Center.

Captain Taylor served in Vietnam from August 1967 to August 1968 with D Troop (Air), 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry, 1st Infantry Division as an Army aviator flying some of the first Bell AH1-G Cobra attack helicopters in combat. He flew over 2,000 combat missions in UH-1 and Cobra helicopters, was engaged by enemy fire 340 times, and forced down five times. He was awarded by the U.S. Army with at least 50 combat decorations, including the Silver Star, 43 Air Medals, a Bronze Star, and two Distinguished Flying Crosses. The Vietnamese Government also awarded Captain Taylor the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Bronze Star.
His most harrowing mission took place on June 18, 1968, when a four-man Long-Range Reconnaissance Patrol (LRRP) team was surrounded by enemies just northeast of Saigon, Vietnam. The team was in danger of being overrun by a larger Viet Cong force when 1st Lt. Larry Taylor and his co-pilot and gunner J.O. Ratliff flew a AH-G Cobra helicopter gunship to support them on the ground, making low-level attack runs for 45 minutes. The helicopters supporting the LRRP were almost out of ammunition, and due to lack of firepower protection the UH-1 “Huey” rescue helicopter was canceled. With the enemy closing in, Taylor knew he was the only way out for the four-man LRRP team. Operating on his own personal motto—“No man left behind”—Taylor decided to disobey direct orders to end the mission and landed the Cobra under heavy enemy fire with co-pilot and gunner J.O. Ratliff. The patrol team, including SGT David Hill, sat on the rocket-pods and skids; despite low fuel and nearly empty ammunition, Taylor carried them to safety.
For Captain Taylor’s profound altruism, the Army awarded him the Silver Star, upgraded in 2023 by President Joe Biden to the Medal of Honor. SIG SAUER is moved by Captain Taylor’s profound acts of courage and dedication to duty. Likewise, the Company was honored to host Sgt. David Hill, and CW02 J.O. Ratliff at the July 11th unveiling ceremony for the Captain Larry Taylor tribute display. The display includes:

CPT Taylor’s Medal of Honor and the issuing certificate;
CPT Taylor’s flight helmet and summer flying gloves;
A 1/35 scale diorama depicting the extraction; and
Numerous photographs donated by David Hill and J.O. Ratliff.

The case also includes a custom SIG SAUER Commemorative M17 pistol and walnut stand dedicated to CPT Taylor. SIG SAUER built Medal of Honor Commemorative pistols for all surviving recipients of this prestigious award. The pistols were hand crafted in collaboration with SIG SAUER Custom Works. Upon learning about Captain Taylor’s story, the SIG SAUER team was driven to honor his life with a tribute to his service and valor.

SIG SAUER would like to thank the Charles H. Coolidge National Medal of Honor Heritage Center, Sgt. David Hill, and CW02 J.O. Ratliff for sharing Captain Larry Taylor’s story and accepting our gift for his dedication to service.

To learn more about Captain Larry L. Taylor’s story please visit this moving video tribute, read the U.S. Army dedication, or visit the Charles H. Coolidge National Medal of Honor Heritage Center website.
