Tax Stamps Suck!

Posted on Thursday, 17 April, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Tax Stamps Suck!

The National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934 was one of the first major federal gun control laws in the United States. Passed during the depths of the Great Depression, the NFA was designed to discourage civilian ownership of certain types of firearms and accessories, including suppressors. Knowing they didn’t have the Constitutional authority to outright ban these items, President FDR and Attorney General Homer Cummings worked with Congress to impose the burdensome regulations and a steep $200 transfer tax that we know to this day. In so doing, they intentionally made the acquisition of NFA items financially and logistically out of reach for most Americans.

Suppressors were included in the NFA despite little to no evidence of their criminal misuse. In fact, they are the only provision of the NFA that wasn’t discussed during the Congressional debates on the National Firearms Act. Thus, no one knows exactly why they were included, but anecdotally their inclusion appears to have stemmed from basic misconceptions and a desire by lawmakers to broadly regulate unfamiliar or “scary” firearms accessories.

Nearly a century later, that same $200 tax remains in place, along with some additional red tape that was added on over the years. At the American Suppressor Association, we’re working hard to change that. No law-abiding American should ever have to pay a tax to protect their hearing while exercising a Constitutionally protected right.

Bottom line: TAX STAMPS SUCK!

This tax day, check out the sale on our Tax Stamps Suck merch. Use code taxday20 at checkout to save 20% on any in-stock merchandise (sale and clearance items excluded). Every dollar raised helps support ASA’s fight to fix this broken system.

How To Buy a LaRue MBT Trigger at Scheels!

Posted on Wednesday, 16 April, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

I met Todd Hodnett from Accuracy 1st for lunch in the cafe inside Scheels in The Colony north of Dallas. I suspect there are highly trained velociraptors roaming the aisles after-hours at night. The Scheels stores are a wonder of the sporting goods world. You have to see it to believe it. LaRue stuff hanging on the shelves. The display cases are all next-level woodmanship. There are 3 giant cranes building the central Texas Scheels behind the HEB Concert Hall in Cedar Park / Leander on 183A. Load the young’uns up and make tracks to a Scheels near y’all.

The new FoldIR 25-275mm f/5.5 MWIR continuous zoom lens features a folded optics design that significantly reduces the length of the lens and the overall size and weight of the optical system.

Festivities kick off Sunday evening, April 27, with an exclusive cocktail party at the AC Lounge, located in the lobby of the AC Hotel at Sawgrass Mills in Sunrise, Florida. Sponsored by USI Insurance Services, the cocktail event begins at 5:30 pm. This private event for registered participants will feature handcrafted cocktails, live music, and gourmet appetizers. It’s the perfect way to relax after the Range Day experience and mingle with fellow attendees.

Monday, April 28 shifts the action to The Club at Weston Hills for the charity golf tournament – complete with a scramble-style format, on-course contests, and even an AR-15-style golf ball launcher. As the tournament wraps ups, guests will gather for an outdoor grill lunch and awards ceremony, enjoy an open bar, and raise a glass during the Service to America SALUTE™: War Dogs™ Edition whiskey tasting, featuring a 5-year-aged, 98.6-proof bourbon from Heritage Distilling Co. Premier-level sponsors will also gain exclusive access to a private meet-and-greet with attending celebrity athletes.

Capping off the celebration is an online auction filled with signed sports memorabilia from MLB legends, military artwork by Stuart Brown, exclusive experiences, and unique items generously donated by event sponsors. Bidding is currently open and will close on April 28.

NSSF Welcomes Robert Cekada as New ATF Deputy Director

NSSF Welcomes Robert Cekada as New ATF Deputy Director

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF^®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, welcomes the appointment of Robert Cekada as the Deputy Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Deputy Director Cekada’s appointment was made public today and he brings with him over 30 years of law enforcement experience, including 20 years in various roles within ATF from special agent to Special Agent-in-Charge of Field Divisions in Baltimore and Miami to leadership positions at ATF’s headquarters. Prior to his service with ATF, Deputy Director Cekada served with the New York Police Department, focusing on anti-gang crime and the City of Plantation Police Department in Broward County, Florida, where he served with the Patrol Division and Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team.

“Deputy Director Cekada has the experience, wisdom and respect of his colleagues to effectively lead the men and women of the ATF,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “Deputy Director Cekada respects the Second Amendment and understands that the firearm industry is not the ‘enemy’ but valuable partner that assists ATF in its core mission of combatting violent crime. Firearm retailers are on the front lines helping to prevent the criminal acquisition of firearms. They are a vital source of information to ATF special agents on illegal straw purchasing of firearms.”

As a Special Agent-in-Charge, Deputy Director Cekada has been on the ground with the firearm industry to promote public awareness to stop these crimes from occurring and has the career history of working with the firearm industry to ensure law-abiding citizens can exercise their Second Amendment rights.

NSSF has partnered with the ATF for 25 years on the Don’t Lie for the Other Guy ^TM program, to warn the public that illegally straw-purchasing firearms for someone who cannot legally purchase their own firearm, or does not want to be associated with the sale of a firearm, is a serious federal crime that carries a penalty up to 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. NSSF also partners with ATF in another program called Operation Secure Store ^®, to help improve security at firearm retailers in order to deter or prevent thefts and burglaries of those firearm retailers. As part of that program, NSSF matches ATF reward offers up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of suspects of those crimes.

“NSSF looks forward to working with Deputy Director Cekada on behalf of the firearm industry and restoring a mutually respectful and constructive dialogue on shared goals that will allow our members to thrive economically and help to make our communities safer,” said Keane.

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.

Moisture and Humidity Protection with the Hornady® Dehumidifier Rod HD

Posted on Wednesday, 16 April, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Moisture and Humidity Protection with the Hornady® Dehumidifier Rod HD

Grand Island, NE (April 15, 2025) – The Hornady® Dehumidifying Rod HD provides nearly double the protection of traditional dehumidifying rods. Powered by a standard 110V AC outlet, these rods utilize innovative heat-dispersing fins to maximize heat transfer without taking additional storage space or causing damage to nearby surfaces. This advanced design ensures consistent and efficient moisture reduction, keeping the interior of safes and cabinets dry.

Protecting firearms in a lockable safe or cabinet is a key step to guard against theft and ensure access is limited to trusted individuals. Even behind locked doors, the unseen threats of moisture, rust, rot, mildew, and mold jeopardize firearms security.

While regular cleaning and applying protective oils are important steps for maintaining firearms, these measures alone cannot prevent the harmful effects of humidity. Effective moisture control is essential to prolong the life of steel, wood, and other materials. Hornady developed the Dehumidifier Rod HD to protect valuables and firearms from the damaging effects of humidity.

Built to integrate with the Hornady Square Lok organizing system but easy to install in many other applications, the Dehumidifier Rod HD is offered in 18” for up to 200 cubic feet and 36” for up to 500 cubic feet.

Controlling humidity levels is critical for protecting valuables from moisture’s destructive effects. Hornady’s® Dehumidifier Rod HD lineup leads the industry with unmatched protection in a discrete form factor.

Hornady Dehumidifier Rod HD Features

Heat-dispersing fins for efficient heat transfer
Compact design to maximize storage space
Safe for nearby surfaces
Integrates with the Hornady Square Lok organizing system
Easy to install in a variety of safes and cabinets

Hornady Dehumidifier Rod HD Specs

Buck Commander Hits the Mark with BUK OPS® X-Factor Crossbow Range-Finding Scope

Posted on Wednesday, 16 April, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Buck Commander Hits the Mark with BUK OPS® X-Factor Crossbow Range-Finding Scope

West Monroe, LA (April 15, 2025) – Buck Commander adds to its arsenal of innovative products with the BUK OPS® X-Factor Range-Finding Crossbow Scope. Measuring distance to the target has never been easier with its built-in angle-compensating laser rangefinder. And what’s more, the X-factor accounts for ballistic drop fine-tuned by arrow speed! Together, these X-Factor technologies ensure deadly accuracy holds out to 100 yards!

Buck Commander’s BUK OPS X-Factor scope eliminates the need for a separate rangefinder, which removes the risk of fumbling and spooking deer. Once located, hunters can visually lock on their target and track or shoot with pinpoint precision.

The X-Factor’s built-in angle-compensating laser rangefinder is button-operated. Pressing the range button once measures the distance to a fixed point while holding the button down enables Scan Mode, which actively tracks the range of a target as it moves. Whether navigating hilly terrain or taking a shot from an elevated position, the X-Factor calculates and compensates for angles, providing accurate ballistics.

Knowing the distance to the target and trusting the hold-over marks in the reticle is critical. The X-Factor Speed Dial precision reticle calibrates the scope to the crossbow’s user-dialed arrow speed. Fine-tuning the optic to the crossbow is a simple turn of a dial. By zeroing at 20 yards, drop marks are accurately set up to 100 yards! Depending on the lighting conditions and preference, hunters may also select red or green reticle illumination for optimal viewing and contrast.

The X-Factor Crossbow Range-Finding Scope is a crossbow optic for hunters seeking an all-in-one ranging and ballistic drop compensation solution that is accurate and reliable. Embrace the future of crossbow hunting and hit the mark with Buck Commander BUK OPS X-Factor Range-Finding Crossbow Scope.

X-Factor Crossbow Range-Finding Scope Features:

Speed Dial FPS (feet per second) reticle
Automatic angle compensation adjustment
Active scan mode follows moving targets
100-yard target range
Up to 1200-yard reflective range
Easy mounting & adjustment bracket

Streamlight Launches Special-Edition Lights for a Cause

Posted on Tuesday, 15 April, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

STREAMLIGHT^® LAUNCHES SPECIAL-EDITION LIGHTS FOR A CAUSE

Portion of Proceeds From Nano Light^® II and Wedge^® XT Lights to Support Breast Cancer Research Foundation and Concerns of Police Survivors

EAGLEVILLE, PA, April 14, 2025 – Streamlight^® Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting tools, announced the launch of four new “Lights for a Cause” models to support two major non-profit organizations. The new lights, including the BCRF Pink Nano Light^® II, BCRF Pink Wedge^® XT, C.O.P.S. Blue Nano Light^® II, and C.O.P.S. Blue Wedge^® XT, are designed to raise awareness of and funding for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) and Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.)

“As a long-time corporate supporter of these two critically important organizations, Streamlight is proud to introduce these new Lights for a Cause, which offer customers dependable tools while also funding vital work,” said Michael F. Dineen, Streamlight President. “Whether supporting the families and co-workers of fallen officers or advancing life-saving cancer research, these special edition lights give back in a meaningful way.”

The Nano Light^® II is an ultra-compact keychain light that delivers 20 lumens of brightness and one hour of run time, powered by a single AAAA alkaline battery. Lightweight and durable, it’s made of machined aluminum and includes a non-rotating snap hook for quick, one-handed use.

The Wedge^® XT is a USB-C rechargeable everyday carry light that provides 500 lumens of bright white light, with a slim, flat profile for comfortable pocket carry. It features a tactical push-button tail switch, deep pocket clip, and an 11-hour run time on low, making it ideal for users who rely on a powerful yet easily portable lighting solution.

Streamlight is donating $1 from the purchase of the Pink Nano Light^® II and $3 from the purchase of the Pink Wedge^® XT to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation; both lights are marked with the BCRF logo. BCRF’s mission is to advance the world’s most promising research to eradicate breast cancer. For more information about BCRF, visit www.bcrf.org.

The company is also donating $1 from the purchase of the Blue Nano Light^® II and $3 from the purchase of the Blue Wedge^® XT, both marked with the C.O.P.S. logo, to Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.). C.O.P.S.’s mission is rebuilding the shattered lives of surviving family members and co-workers affected by a line-of-duty death. For more information about C.O.P.S., visit www.concernsofpolicesurvivors.org.

All four models are available now through Streamlight’s network of authorized dealers. The Nano Light^® II has an MSRP of $19.50, and the Wedge^® XT is priced at $159.65. The lights include Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Galco’s Walkabout 3.0 IWB Holster now available for the Ruger LCP MAX!

Posted on Tuesday, 15 April, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

HOME HOLSTERS AMMO CARRIERS BELTS FAQ

Galco’s Walkabout 3.0 IWB Holster now available for the Ruger LCP MAX!

April 2025

Now available for the Ruger LCP MAX with or without red dot sight!

Part of Galco’s Concealed Carry Lite™ line of holsters, the WalkAbout™ 3.0 offers all the benefits of the WalkAbout 2.0 – and also fits most carry-style optical sights! It’s an exceptional combination of high performance, comfort and affordability.

The WalkAbout 3.0’s open top allows a very fast draw, while the reinforced mouth allows a smooth and easy return of the gun to the holster. The WalkAbout 3.0’s belt clips are adjustable for cant, making it suitable for the strongside, crossdraw, or appendix carry positions.

The WalkAbout 3.0’s attached magazine carrier has a more pronounced angle than previous versions. This angle allows pistols with most carry-style red-dot optics to clear the spare magazine’s floorplate when drawing and has the secondary benefit of allowing a faster draw of the magazine when reloading, especially from the appendix carry position.

The ambidextrous WalkAbout 3.0 is supplied with two types of interchangeable tuckable clips. The first is the UniClip™, designed to go over the belt, but which also works well without a belt. The second is the Ultimate Stealth™ clip with hook, which fits on the trouser waistband, under or behind a belt with just the hook showing, for the ultimate in stealthy concealment!

Made for semiautomatic pistols, the WalkAbout 3.0 is available in black.

Big Horn Armory and Big Horn Armoryto Host Big Bore Range Day

Posted on Tuesday, 15 April, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Big Horn Armory and Wyoming Gun Company to Host Big Bore Range Day

This free, family-friendly event invites shooters to experience the power of the .500 S&W Magnum and 500 Auto Max in Casper, Wyoming, on April 26 – 27, 2025.

Cody, Wyo. (March 2025) – Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, is teaming up with Wyoming Gun Company to host Big Bore Range Day, a free public shooting event that brings serious firepower to the range. Held at Wyoming Gun Company (580 Landmark Dr., Casper, WY) on Saturday, April 26 from 12 p.m. – 5 p.m. and Sunday, April 27 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., the event invites attendees to get hands-on experience with BHA’s most powerful offerings. This includes the Model 89, the SpikeDriver™ Tactical Lever-Action Rifle equipped with the W.T.F. Silencer’s Barron 50 CAL NON-BMG Suppressor, and the AR500, chambered in the hard-hitting .500 S&W Magnum and 500 Auto Max cartridges.

“Big Bore Range Day is all about giving the shooting community a chance to experience what real stopping power feels like,” said Greg Buchel, Owner of Big Horn Armory. “Whether you’re a hunter, tactical shooter, or just curious about big bore firearms, you’ll walk away from this event with a new appreciation for the craftsmanship, performance, and raw power behind every BHA rifle.”

A modern interpretation of the classic American sporting rifle, the Model 89 brings the heritage of the lever-action into the 21st century. Built with 17-4PH matte stainless steel and a rugged Black Walnut stock, this powerhouse rifle is designed to handle the punishing .500 S&W Magnum cartridge while delivering smooth operation, excellent accuracy, and exceptional durability. Ideal for big game hunters and lever-action enthusiasts alike, the Model 89 pays tribute to the legacy of the Model 1886 and 1892 rifles, with a modern twist.

Engineered for power and precision, the SpikeDriver Tactical is a modern lever-action platform built for those who demand performance in every shot. Chambered in .500 S&W Magnum, this rifle delivers blistering velocities and energy levels far beyond what revolvers in the same caliber can offer. With an M-LOK forend, scout scope mount, Skinner rear sight, fiber optic front sight, and a tank-style muzzle brake, the SpikeDriver is equally at home in the field or on the tactical range. Its American Black Walnut stock and stainless-steel construction combine old-school style with next-gen durability.

The AR500 is the most powerful AR-style rifle on the market, purpose-built by BHA to chamber its proprietary 500 Auto Max cartridge—a rimless version of the .500 S&W Magnum. This beast of a rifle delivers truck-stopping energy in a compact, familiar platform. Featuring a match-grade trigger, 18″ barrel with a muzzle brake, and an M-LOK free-float handguard, the AR500 combines power with precision. Whether you are on a hunt for big game or testing your limits at the range, the AR500 is a bold statement in big bore firepower.

Attendees of Big Bore Range Day will have the rare opportunity to shoot these legendary firearms in a safe, supervised environment. Don’t miss your chance to feel the recoil, hear the thunder, and unleash the true power of American-made, big bore rifles.

For more on Big Horn Armory, visit www.bighornarmory.com

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.
