Silencer Saturday #450: 4473 vs. Form 4 Transfers
by Daniel Y on September 19, 2026 at 6:17 pm
Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday, brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturer of the new Victra 20-gauge shotgun suppressor .

TFB Review: Midwest Industries CRM HD Rifle

The Global War on Terror has been protracted, seeing its reach stretch to every major part of the world.

These additional requirements have equated to weapon platforms that can facilitate their use, but also support long-term use in the worst conditions.

Fudd Friday: Pump-Action Or Semi-Auto Shotgun For Hunting?
by Zac K on September 18, 2026 at 11:00 pm
A few points at first. While you decide what works for you, let’s point out that whether we’re hunting upland birds (pheasants, grouse, woodcock) or waterfowl (geese and ducks, mostly), it doesn’t make much difference in what action you decide on. There are lots of great upland shotguns in both semi-auto and pump-action configurations. The same goes for waterfowl. However, it is worth pointing out that waterfowlers often slug it out against the elements in much worse conditions than upland hunters, which raises our first question:
