I have nothing new to report other than TALO is working hard on some new editions. We will sell no wine before it’s time. Thanks for checking.

Gun’s magazine has the NAA Snake Eyes as their “Gun of the Month”.  Thanks to the great folks at NAA especially Ken Friel who always turns a good special edition into a great one.

 

First 50 S&W Performance Center M&P15 ship

Monday, July 10th, 2006

The first M&P15 rifles shipped this week from S&W’s Performance Center. They will build 1500 slowly this year, perhaps 125/mo. I saw the first one at Camfour last week and in my humble and biased opinion the Performance Center has again done what it does best by adding value to rifle with custom features and accuracy. I’d like to hear from shooters what they think.

Dixie has a cool Browning 20 ga. Shotgun in the works. Lew Horton will have an interesting Colt SAA before the end of the month. The Lanbers have landed!!! I have heard knowledgeable shotgun people say the Lanber is dollar for dollar (euro) the best buy available today. TALO visited the factory in Spain. They are extremely serious about making a good gun. The repair history of the warrantee station: Bachelders Master Gunmakers 1229 Michigan , NE Grand Rapids , MI 49503 Phone : 616 - 459 - 3636 bears this out. Virtually no problems due to factory defects. See Lew Horton, Dixie, Hill Country, or CDNN for the best buy in a quality O/U.
