Keystone Arms is now shipping the newest installment in their family of mini rimfire clones. The Mini 1903-A3 provides the look and feel of the classic Springfield rifle but scaled down. Let’s take a look at its features.

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world! Last time we talked about the AMT Automag II .22 Magnum pistol. As I assumed would be the case in the comments, most of you guys love the idea, and the looks of the sizeable silver handgun but absolutely loathed the size of the grip, and the lack of consistent reliability across all models with most types of ammo. However, as with any discontinued handgun, not every example is a negative and at least a handful of you mentioned that the pistol was not only stylish but was entertaining as heck to shoot due to the gigantic fireballs the handgun produced. I think we all share the sentiment that it’d be pretty cool to have a modern, decently functioning replica of the Automag II around. This week we’re going further back to a legend within the rimfire pistol scene. Born out of the “Standard” series released in 1949, the eventual Ruger Mark or MK series of pistols would completely change the rimfire pistol scene forever. Today we’ll check out a very nicely preserved sample of the Ruger Standard model sent over to us by our friends at FirearmLand. FirearmLand has been helping us get a closer look at some of these rare and discontinued historical pieces so be sure to check out their website if you’re interested in collecting or even selling some of your rare firearms!

Good evening everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the brand new YHM 338 Bad Larry Suppressor. Last week we took a look at the current state of the ATF eForms system and NFA application approval times. This week we take a look at wet work – or shooting with an ablative material – to improve the performance of small suppressors. Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of shooting wet.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM R45 Multi-Host Suppressor. Last week we got a peek at the new rimfire can from Advanced Armament Corporation. This week we get out on the range with two different hosts – a GLOCK and a Ruger – and check the performance the AAC Element 3 rimfire suppressor. Let’s take a look.

Last June I wrote about my friends trying the 700-yard soda can challenge where we tried to hit a soda can 700 yards away with a .22LR. My friends were successful but we knew it was more luck than skill. We revisited the challenge and came to the same conclusion. So we decided to attempt it at night with a 700-yard water bottle. It was a bit “easier” but still comes down to luck.

Founded in 1976 by Italian competition shooter Giampiero Pardini,  Pardini Armi is a manufacturer of competition shooting air guns and firearms. One of the most popular products of Pardini Armi is the SP rimfire target pistol. Based on this successful design, the company has developed a new semi-automatic rimfire carbine called TR20. Particularly, the Pardini TR20 shares the blowback action and the adjustable trigger with the SP pistol. Reportedly, additive manufacturing technologies are extensively used in the production of this carbine.

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world and its many types of guns, gear, shooting sports, and ammunition types! Today’s Rimfire Report is a sort of guest post by Nicholas C. Last February Mike aka Garand Thumb released one of the most highly anticipated videos on YouTube. The infamous 22 Man who claimed he could hit a soda can 700 yards away with a 10/22 and iron sights. Well, I decided to gather my friends to see if we could replicate the result like on Mythbusters. We managed to hit a 700 yard soda can with .22LR but it was not easy.

Welcome everyone to the 187th edition of ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, one of our many series here on TFB. If you’re new to the series, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question – is this Gat a sweet deal or only has a Fudd appeal?  Each week the TFB staff weighs in with their thoughts, but readers get the final say in the poll at the bottom of each article.

Today Luke C (@BallisticAviation) is at NRAAM 2023 at the Heckler & Koch booth to check out the 22LR HK 416 D and MP5 rifles and pistols. HK will be releasing new color variants of both rifles (and pistols) later in 2023.

Welcome everyone to the 185th edition of ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, one of our many series here on TFB.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is at IWA, specifically, the Derya booth – to see the new Derya TM22 LA which is a .22 LR caliber, magazine-fed lever action carbine. Lever actions are becoming more and more popular, and as of the time of this video, the Derya TM22 LA is the only magazine-fed .22LR lever gun available.

New this year from Tippmann Ordnance is a .22LR Gatling Gun with an innovative and low-cost feed belt.  The six-barreled gun comes complete with a tripod, T&E mechanism and belts.  The belts themselves are an all-new polymer design from Tippmann Ordnance that is low-cost and, according to them, easy to load. The Tippmann Ordnance .22LR Gatling Gun can fire pretty fast, but its gear is rated to 600 rounds per minute.

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world and its many guns, shooting sports, ammunition types, and history! Last week we checked out the MaddMacs Precision MK4 Carbine. The MK4 Carbine was a blast to shoot but carried along with it a pretty steep learning curve due to just how light the rifle is. Since the initial review, I’ve opted to swap out my TANDEMKROSS Kraken MKIV lower in lieu of a factory Ruger MKIV lower – this is because I usually shoot two matches at a time and this allows me to participate in both Rimfire Pistol Open (RFPO) and Rimfire Rifle Open (RFRO) without having to bring extra tools to deal with the Kraken. If you haven’t checked out the MK4 Carbine yet, you should head on over to the MaddMacs Precision Tactical to check out the MK4 Carbine, as well as some of its other cool rimfire parts and components. Shooting the MK4 Carbine a lot over the last couple of weeks got me thinking about some of the other types of target shooting we’ve seen become popular in the United States over the years. If you rewind back far enough, you’ll eventually encounter something called a “Gallery Gun.” Gallery Guns are known by many names but put simply the class of firearm mostly consists of rifles and pistols chambered in .22 Short or 6mm Flobert and were initially used for indoor target shooting. Today we’ll check out the unique history of this type of rimfire firearm and observe how it evolved into a fairly familiar recreational shooting sport many of us participated in as children without even realizing it.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the YHM Turbo K 5.56mm rifle suppressor. Last week we discussed the new SIG Sauer SPEAR LT carbine and the SLX762C-QD compact silencer. Today we get a look at the ECCO Machine Salamander rimfire suppressor. Can this ultra-thin, ultra-light can be just as quiet as larger and heavier market options? Let’s take a look.
