Brownells introduced the BRN-180SH Full Top, the latest addition to the popular BRN-180 line, and announced it at the IWA Outdoor Classics show in Nuremberg, Germany.
Chambered in 300 Blackout, the BRN-180SH has a 10.5” barrel with 5/8-24 muzzle threads and a gas system with three settings: non-suppressed, suppressed, and off.
The BRN-180SH retails for $999.
With the gas system fully shut down, the top converts to “single shot” mode, virtually eliminating the sound produced by gases escaping through the ejection port or bolt carrier group cycling.
When fired with a suppressor attached and the gas system turned off, the BRN-180SH in single shot is even quieter than a BRN-180S.
The BRN-180SH comes with an adjustable charging handle that can be rotated down to help transform the top into a straight-pull action, allowing for fast follow-up shots when set up for the quietest possible operation.
The top can be quickly converted back to unsuppressed shot with a simple twist of the gas adjustment and flipping the charging lever back to its up position.
Like the rest of the BRN-180 line of uppers, the BRN-180SH fits over any standard AR-15 or BRN-180 soft top and requires no protective tube mounting. It works easily with a folding stock, or without a stock at all.

Bicameral introduction of the Cerro de la Olla Wilderness Area Establishment Law Praised by hunters and fishermen, bill would conserve habitat for elk, mule deer, mountain lion and black bear
WASHINGTON – Senator Martin introduced a bill today in the US Senate and House of Representatives that would preserve 13,000 acres of public lands in New Mexico as wilderness, including elk migratory corridors and habitat for moose. a variety of big game species. Heinrich (D-NM) and Representative Teresa Leger Fernández (D-NM).
The Cerro de la Olla Wilderness Establishment Act would designate 13,000 new acres of wilderness within the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument in northern New Mexico, further cementing protections for the landscape while maintaining current routes and access public.
The New Mexico chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers supported the legislation during its initial filing in the 117th Congress and praised today’s bicameral filing in the 118th.
“We applaud the reintroduction of the Cerro de la Olla Wilderness Establishment Act by Senator Martin Heinrich and Representative Teresa Leger Fernández,” said Mike Farrington, vice president of BHA NM. “With the support of athletes, this legislation would permanently preserve more than 13,000 acres of public land in the Rio Grande do Norte National Monument. A unique caldera, this landscape is an important migration corridor for elk and provides habitat for other game species such as mule deer, mountain lions and black bear.”
Established in 2013, Rio Grande del Norte National Monument provides habitat ranging from high-elevation sagebrush plains to some of the country’s first designated segments of the Wild and Scenic River System. In 2019, the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act designated both the Cerro del Yuta Wilderness and the Rio San Antonio Wilderness within the monument.
“Wilderness areas offer unencumbered landscapes, healthy habitat and a solitude that is becoming all too rare in our world,” said John Gale, BHA vice president of policy and government relations. “BHA members crave the hunting and fishing opportunities that only nature provides. Senator Heinrich and Congressman Leger Fernández not only appreciate these values; they also acknowledge the broad support of New Mexicans and others for preserving them. We thank you for your leadership and urge your colleagues in Congress to support the Law to Establish the Cerro de la Olla Wilderness Area.”
Last Congress, the Cerro de la Olla Wilderness Establishment Act was reported by the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee by voice vote, the only wilderness bill in the 117th Congress to do so.
Backcountry Hunters & Anglers is the voice for our wild public lands, waters and wildlife.

Competitive kayak angler and musician Abby Abbondanza joins the influential Z-Team
It is true that Abby Abbondanza is a great name for a musician. So maybe it’s a more appropriate moniker for a heavy metal rock star than a country singer. On the other hand, country intersects with rock, pop and other genres; Perfectly fitting for a songwriter, professional fisherman, and salt-of-the-earth gentleman who has reinvented himself as a successful kayak fishing competitor.
When he’s not shooting chatterbaiyouyes® or soft plastics ElaZtech®, new Z-Man pro-staffer Chris “Abby” Abbondanza it still plays a terrifyingly impressive six strings. The original leader of country music singers PovertyNeck Hillbillies, Abbondanza and his bandmates have produced three acclaimed studio albums, including the 2006 single “Mr. Right Now”, which was ranked #2 on the GAC Video Chart for fifteen weeks in a row.
Eventually, the group disbanded, but Abby never stopped writing, playing, and releasing solo albums, and she certainly never stopped fishing. Today, she continues to perform her own brand of country music for audiences throughout the Northeast. But she asks her what is more important, singing or fishing, and her answer speaks for itself. “Put it this way. I schedule my concert calendar around the dates of the fishing tournaments, not the other way around,” Abby says with a welcoming smile. Three years ago, Abbondanza, a Pennsylvania native who lives a few hours from Lake Erie, sold his bass boat to take on competitive kayak fishing full-time.
“Several years ago, my friend Adam Milstead, who is a former UFC fighter and a big guy like me, got me in the kayak,” he recalls. “At first, I thought someone my height (Abby is 6’4”) would have trouble in a kayak. It’s actually quite the opposite, and right now, a kayak is my favorite way to hunt bass. The stealthy, human-powered parts of the sport only add to the appeal. And the folks on tracks like the Hobie BOS, including my good friend and fellow Z-Man pro Jody Queen, make for an amazing fishing community. We are a friendly bunch who like to share each other’s successes and just have a good time. Sometimes Jody and I sit down and just play our guitars for a while. Fishing and music are good for the soul, man.
As Abundance became the sport he loved ever since watching Bill Dance on TV as a kid, he finally discovered Z-Man ElaZtech baits. He knew that the baits were different, better in many ways than the traditional soft plastic ones. For a light angler, he too found the longevity and strength of ElaZtech baits to be a perfect match in kayaking heaven. “Simply packing a few soft plastic bags for a full day of fishing, instead of mountains of traditional baits, is a big plus and a huge time saver,” he points out. “Imagine fishing an entire tournament with just a few packs of baits. Crazy, but perfectly possible with ElaZtech.”
Right away, Abby knew he wanted to meet and connect with the people behind his new bass baits. So, several years ago, she traveled from Pennsylvania to Florida and to the annual ICAST show, hoping to develop friendships and perhaps a new sponsor.
Z-Man’s newest professional and country musician, Abby Abbondanza.
“We liked Abby right away,” recalls Z-Man promotions manager Joey Prochazka. “She is a nice and charismatic guy, and a great fisherman, without a doubt. Everyone here loves his positive energy and his enthusiasm for fishing. However, he is also a laid back and approachable guy who likes to talk about fishing. Abby’s combined talents for music and bass catching make him an interesting human being and we are delighted to welcome him to Team Z.”
In his early years on the Hobie BOS circuit, Abbondanza quickly moved up the leaderboards and qualified for the Tournament of Champions in 2022. “We fished a wide variety of bodies of water, from lakes in Florida and Texas to West Virginia rivers. and the Midwest,” he says. “Wherever I have been, ElaZtech attracts like the baby goat™, Bang StickZ™ and Mag FattyZ™ continue to fish well.”
Among her most intriguing bass tricks, Abby likes to do a nose hook. delicacy TRD™ on a dropshot rig – a clear departure from Ned’s traditional rig. “You can lightly hook a TRD on a dropshot and he’ll stay put, not pull off the hook like other baits,” he points out. “Some days, you can fish all day with just one TRD. The material just doesn’t break, even after being eaten by a group of largemouths.
“I’ll fish it in 25 to 30 feet of water in Lake Erie all the time, and the smallmouth doesn’t get tired. ElaZtech’s floating material floats and lifts the TRD up and stays suspended in place. You don’t really have to do much with it, almost like it’s live bait. Just move it slowly back, pause, and leave it in place and you’ll pick up a lot of bass.”
When strapped into a Ned rig, Abbondanza’s style once again deviates from convention. “I never put a Baby GOAT, TRD or Bang Stick Z on an exposed hook jighead, except when I’m fishing a wobbly head. I prefer to go weedless with my Ned baits, and the NedlockZ™ EWGs is an impressive and underrated finesse template. Amazing fish hooker. But it also allows me to handle small baits without weeds, so I can fish cleanly through rocks, and through grass and brush, with no problem.”
Underscoring Z-Man’s commitment to the burgeoning sport of kayak fishing and his cast of fascinating characters, Z-Man’s Prochazka adds perspective: “Like Drew Gregory, Jody Queen, and Ryan Lambert, Abby has a backstory. super interesting and an exciting future ahead. When he or any of our pros win or discover an innovative way to catch more fish, everyone shares in the rewards.”
Abbondanza sets the final letter:
“I have a thousand bass to chase and only one pack of bait to catch. . .”

Some people feel that a modern smartphone has replaced a pen, notepad, flashlight, and camera. For some, it has. Even in this age of modern technology, being able to write something can be one of the most important and meaningful things you do. Putting pen to paper creates a much stronger memory association with our thoughts. Have you ever tried to recite the phone numbers of the four people you talk to the most on the phone? It’s more complicated than you think. Fisher Space Pen® has been at the forefront for decades in the ancient art of turning a pen across a page. The original Bullet has been the shining star for generations and still remains a classic piece of American culture.
Few pens can go and write where the Fisher Space Pen can. Known as the first Fisher Pen, the original Bullet Space Pen was conceived in 1948. Paul Fisher machined the pen’s design out of solid aluminum. The Bullet Pen is considered a leading example of industrial art. The classic design of the Fisher Bullet Pen is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Using the pressurized PR4 refill ink cartridge, synonymous with Fisher products, which means they will write upside down, at any angle, underwater, through grease, in extreme temperatures (-30 to +250 degrees F) on almost any surface. Of course, even the vacuum of gravity-free space won’t stop these pens from writing.
Being a part of American pop culture is nothing new for this compact space pen. In fact, the popularity of this particular space pen made such an impression on the writers of the hit television series Seinfeld that they created an entire episode titled “The Pen” to introduce the history and uniqueness behind this iconic pen.
EDC stands for every haul day. His EDC is the collection of items he carries in his pockets or purse every day and touches in his pockets before heading out the door. EDCs are things you feel naked and disorganized without, consisting of a pocket knife, handkerchief, flashlight, key ring, cell phone, wallet, sunglasses, and pen.
Chrome Bullet pens are the perfect size for EDC in a wallet, pocket, purse, travel neck pouch, organizer, or backpack. The Chrome Bullet Pen is compact and the cap sits on the end of the barrel for a comfortable writing experience. In an open position, it is a full-size, evenly balanced writing tool. Whether it’s signing a receipt, jotting down a phone number, directions, taking general notes, or punching through packing tape, there’s no shortage of uses for an EDC pen. As far as self defense goes, having an all-metal construction is an advantage. The average writing pen isn’t known for its durability; the Bullet Space Pen is.
Carry your EDC pen with confidence, knowing it’s the Fisher Chrome Bullet pen!
