Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association

Interview with Jade Miller Tammy Billingsley with footage of their riding and shooting while training for the CMSA competitions with their single-action / black powder cartridge revolvers.


Accidentally shot by simply dropping a bullet on the concrete?

According to this news story, a 22 round fell on the concrete where the primer was struck and supposedly discharged with the bullet actually hit the woman in the upper left leg.

We are watching this story closely, as we're not sure it's actually possible for the lead to move away from the much lighter brass without a chamber to control the gas...

Defense Distributed $1200 Home-CNC Unit Sells out in 24 Hours!

While huge amounts of main-stream editorial labor has been invested in concerns about a 3-D Printer's ability to empower nerds to create firearms with inferior materials, many old-school gunsmiths seemed flabbergasted by the new-found media fascination with 3-D printing while machining, especially with a CNC mill, produces a superior product.

Many have thought about the ability to make a low-cost or entry-level CNC machine capable of making a specific component, such as the AR-15 lower receiver.

Defense Distributed Desktop CNC for AR-15 Lower Receivers




















Apparently a Cody Wilson of Defense Distributed felt that way as well and has designed a $1,200 CNC mill-in-a-box that is capable of machining AR-15 lower receivers.



We are pretty sure this is going to generate a lot of buzz and a lot of legal entanglements so we'll be watching this story closely.
