    American Rifleman

    Has anyone else noticed American Rifleman is writing better articles in the last few months? In the Nov issue they have an article on hunting with AR rifles. That's really going to shock the Zumbos out there. They also had an article on handgun trigger mechanisms and a "Technical Exploded View" article on the Armalite M-15A2 carbine. I don't know if the NRA changed their brand of bottled water or what, but I like the changes.

    It's a conscious change. The NRA is trying to educate some of the Elmer Fudd types.

        The past couple of issues have been keepers for me. Previous issues, I would flip through the rifleman and within 5 minutes get rid of it. I hope they keep it up!

              I'd really love if they started doing some articles on the work that California is doing, and California-legal guns and how to help us out.

              It might get some of those A-holes on gunbroker to change their mind when they think they're somehow supporting the 2A by blocking sales to CA.

                I really enjoyed the recent article about barrel cleaning in American Rifleman, it answered several questions that I have had years. I also enjoyed the article on the history of the 7mm Mauser, the picture that started the article reminded me of some pictures of my ancestors!

                  I have a few (10-12) of old American Rifleman mags from the 30's and 40's including the issue with John Garand showing his "new rifle".These have good gun articles from a time when there wasn't much "anti gun" movement and BS restrictions. I will give them to anyone that wants them. Shoot me an PM.

                  This maybe the wrong forum to post this but it's the right subject, and someone may want them.

                      Some of the Outdoor Channel / Sportsman Channel programs have been making several good plays on EBRs for target / competition / hunting / varminting over the past few months. There seems to be a very conscious effort to educate that the AR pattern rifle, and other EBRs, have uses besides those usually trumpeted by the Brady acolytes.

                      Educating the Zumbos out there is something that needs to be done. They need to be dragged, kicking and screaming if necessary, to the notion that a gun is a gun and that the Brady gang will not stop until they have them all.

                        Yeah, there pretty good. A while ago they had a write up on the smith and wesson 460 that blew me away. Oh don't forget to mention the self defense stories they have in there , there also good.

                          I'm so pleased to see I'm not the only one who uses this term in this way.
