General Patton's M1 Garand

This one's a little outside our usual ballpark, but we couldn't resist. At the 144th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Nashville, American Rifleman's Mark Keefe had a chance to get his hands on General George S. Patton's M1 Garand, which was made for him in 1944 and will appear on the next season of Gun Gurus on Outdoor Channel. As unique a piece of American history as you're like to find, the rifle's a beauty—and we can't wait to hear the rest of its story.

Video: Q&A With the American Suppressor Association

Suppressors have been a hot topic in the industry of late—and something that NRA-ILA has been keeping an eye on for hunters, too. Among the hurdles they face though, is a general unfamiliarity from much of the hunting and shooting community. In hopes of turning that tide, the American Suppressor Association hosted a suppressor shoot during the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits outside Nashville, Tenn. last week. American Rifleman's Brian Sheetz had the opportunity to discuss the issue with Association President Knox Williams. Relive their discussion—and learn a few things—with the video embedded here.
