- Silencer Saturday #373: A “Class Tree” Wooden Silencerby Daniel Y on March 22, 2025 at 11:21 am
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 .

- Guns of the Decades – 1990s: Smith & Wesson 4006. A Gun Lost to Timeby Cameron H on March 22, 2025 at 12:00 am
Welcome back to Guns of the Decades. In this article series, we pick a firearm and discuss its place in a particular decade.

It would be interesting to see if one could actually hit anything beyond perhaps the first round or two.

Welcome to another edition of Fudd Friday ! Today we’re tackling one of the most notorious shotguns ever made: the Winchester Model 1911 SL, infamously known as the “Widowmaker.” Is this reputation deserved, or is it just another tall tale from the gun shop counter? Let’s rack the… well, not the charging handle (because there isn’t one), and dive in!
- Henry Confirms All Production For Wisconsinby Zac K on March 21, 2025 at 3:00 pm
“Made In America, Or Not Made At All” says the Henry Repeating Arms logo. And now, they could change it if they wanted, to “Made In Wisconsin,” because the company has just committed to moving all of their production to the Badger State.
