There's been some talk about S&W looking into purchasing the New Haven Winchester plant. That makes their new marketing moves interesting. Most importantly, I think, is the M&P (Military and Police) Family. There are the tactical rifles (as seen to the left) and the M&P pistol.

Another interesting thing is that Old Western Scounger (long a source for obsolete and hard-to-find ammo) was sold by Dangerous Dave to Val Forgett III. I'll probably find something else to order in the near future.

Yet another item of interest is the current availability of rifles from the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP). It seems that as the older surplus rifles are exhausted other items will become available. Be sure to check eligibility requirements.
