I have heard thru the vine that Remington Arms is going to start making Pistols…. yes, I said pistols. In fact they will be announcing a new hand gun division and will be made in the United States which is always good news. Whats next… well, I would think a custom shop would be in order. In looking thru the Brownells cataloge there is definately a market for custom work as they have donated quite a few pages for custom handgun goodies. The 1911 seems to be a popular one ….. could Remington have Kimber in its sights?… who knows.
IMR powders form Hodgen has introduced a new powder called IMR 8208 XBR which should work well in the .223′s and 22/250′s , 308′s etc. It is short grained extruded with unheard of consistency from -40 degrees to 165 degrees F.
On another front its great to see that according to the latest polls across the country more people are pro gun than ever.This may be a good thing because as you may know…. when the current administration is done jamming health care down our throats that the the gun control subject is going to come up, but more on this later.
