Minnesota Firearm News

The United States military has a long history of struggling with weapon procurement. The adopted weapon platforms of the United States usually fall within two categories. One, they are poor choices with serious flaws. Two, they are implemented well ahead of when they are ready. The Springfield Armory Model 1898 rifle falls into the former category.

For many, firearms are a controversial issue in the world today.  While the purpose of this article is not to get into the controversies and misinformation surrounding guns, we do acknowledge they exist.  The lost part about firearms is that their history is deeply connected to ours here in America.  The manufacturing, designs, and engineering that goes into these weapons is truly amazing.

Firearms today are built with ease of use in mind.  Shooters today do not have to worry about much these days when it comes to the actual function and maintenance of their firearms.  Most firearms are semi-automatic (meaning that the fire with each pull of the trigger) and do not require manual loading of the cartridge.  This is a relatively new concept.

Guns such as these really inspire the minds of people everywhere.  Tri-City SWAT here in Minnesota was kind enough to lend one to us at 2 If By Sea Tactical to look at and work with.
