  • Silencer Saturday #434: Give Me A Brake (On My Suppressor)
    Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday, brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new Victra 20-gauge shotgun suppressor . Suppressor brakes are increasing in popularity, showing up on more and more silencers. Let’s take a look at where they came from and what options are available.
  • TFB Review: Franklin Armory’s Self-Regulating Piston OPS-16 Rifle
    I have never really been a huge piston-driven AR-15 fan. The extra weight, complexity, and lack of real benefit for me as a fairly low-volume civilian shooter left me convinced that a well-built direct impingement rifle still offered the best balance for people like me. So when Franklin Armory offered to send out one of their OPS-16 rifles, I figured it’d be another chance to reaffirm my somewhat anti-piston-AR stance. This fairly new rifle is intended to be used with Franklin’s Binary system, but I’ve decided to abscond with the BFS and instead review the standard, 16-inch 5.56 rifle configuration, which uses a low-profile, self-regulating Osprey Defense piston system that aims for cleaner operation and suppressor compatibility without the usual adjustments or swapping out of other components.
  • POTD: Shooting - A Sport for Everyone 
    The stage doesn't care how you get to the firing position. Only that you do. At a practical shooting competition, one competitor drew quiet admiration from fellow shooters and range officers alike. Not for any dramatic reason, but simply for the way he went about his business. Wheeling between stages with a Heckler & Koch MR308, he approached each position the same way everyone else did: with a plan, a focus, and a willingness to adapt.
  • Fudd Friday: Watch Out For Husqvarna’s Bargain Rifles On The Used Rack
    I was at my “local” gun store a few days back (my local gun store is actually 1.5 hours’ drive away, more if you take the logging roads, which I generally do this time of year) and took a good long look around their racks of used firearms. Lo and behold, amidst the usual lineup of free-floated synthetic stocks and detachable mags, I noted some old-school iron in a corner, with classy, slim wood stock and a blind mag. I looked closer. They had not one, not two, not three, but four Husqvarna 1640 rifles stashed there, all in .30-06 and all priced under $500. It was a great deal that most buyers would miss, not even knowing that Husqvarna was a gun brand to watch out for. So, here’s a very quick look at these Huskies that you might be able to pick up at your LGS, guns that other buyers will miss due to a lack of awareness.
