All first responders and military service members can save 20 percent on an AR500 rifle or pistol when purchased between May 26 and May 28, 2023.

Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of large-caliber firearms, is proud to announce its Memorial Day sale, honoring and supporting the brave first responders and military service members who dedicate their lives to serving our communities. . Between May 26 and 28, all current and veteran military service members and first responders can enjoy an exclusive 20 percent discount on any new BHA AR500 semi-automatic rifle or pistol.

The AR500 rifle is an AR rifle like no other. Chambered in 500 Auto Max, BHA’s innovative AR500 rifle is the most powerful AR firearm available. BHA was not satisfied with the large-bore cartridge offerings available on the AR platform, so the company made its own. The logical choice was something that would match the power and versatility of BHA’s lever-action Model 89 in a 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The result was the development of the 500 Auto Max, a rimless 500 S&W Magnum to feed a semi-automatic rifle.

BHA’s bold AR design and large-bore 500 Auto Max cartridge put an unparalleled amount of power into a versatile, fast-firing, and enjoyable rifle. This combination of size, familiar gun manual, available accessories, and on-target power make the AR500 rifle ready to handle almost any situation. The AR500 is also available in an ATF-compliant pistol configuration: the AR500 semi-automatic pistol.

The 500 Auto Max is a rimless 500 S&W Magnum that is easy to get or reload. A very versatile cartridge, it can be had in ammunition loaded with bullets ranging from 350 grns to an amazing 600 grns. The manual loader can take over 55 different bullets ranging from 200gm to 700gm in almost any type of bullet imaginable including hard cast, hollow point, solid monolithic, etc. to the pachyderms to those of Peterbilt. Truck stopping power in a bed that weighs less than 10 lbs. Factory ammunition for the 500 Auto Max is available through Buffalo Bore, Steinel Ammunition, Underwood Ammunition, and Defiant Munitions.

Whether you’re packing 36,800 ft. lbs. of power in a lever action, or building the most powerful AR on the market, BHA’s goal is to give the customer the most bang for their buck.

About the Big Horn Armory:

Big Horn Armory was founded in 2008 with the express intention of designing a Browning-type lever action weapon chambered in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. Big Horn Armory’s American-made Model 89 closely follows the work of John Browning with refinements courtesy of modern metalworking and machining capabilities. The first rifles began shipping in September 2012, and since then, BHA has added to its large-bore lineup a Model 90 Carbine in 460 S&W, Model 90A in 454 Casull, Model 90B in .45 Colt, Model 89A in 500 Linebaugh and the Model 89B in .475 Linebaugh. In 2017, Big Horn Armory departed from its lever-action series and developed the AR500 Auto Max, the most powerful short-range semi-auto based on an AR .308 platform.

Second Amendment Advocates Fight Liberal Gun Grip

Second Amendment advocates find themselves in a constant game of Whac-A-Mole with pro-gun control officials, working to get the courts to invalidate a seemingly endless barrage of state laws that seek to prevent citizens from having the practical ability to bear arms. firearm legally.

The US Supreme Court ruled last year in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen that the Second Amendment prohibits state or local governments from requiring applicants to demonstrate “special need” to issue a concealed carry permit.

States that included this requirement were known as “can issue” states; others were called “shall issue” states.

That sent “may issue” jurisdictions rushing to change their concealed carry laws to comply with Bruen, while limiting the right to carry, despite the plain language of the Second Amendment stating that “the right of persons to possess and bear arms will not be infringed.”

Maryland was one of those “can issue” states, and concealed carry requests there skyrocketed in response to Bruen.

“The Maryland State Police have received 11 times the usual number of new permit applications since the court struck down state provisions requiring gun owners to demonstrate a special need to carry a firearm for self-defense,” it reported. The Washington Post.

But while newly elected Gov. Wes Moore, a Democrat in a Democratic-controlled state, eased the restrictions on getting a permit, he tightened them elsewhere — namely, where a person can transport.

“Gun violence is tearing at the fabric of our communities, not only through mass shootings, but also through shootings that occur in each of our communities far too frequently,” Moore said at a signing ceremony for a bill of law. “In Maryland, we refuse to say that these problems are too big or too difficult.”

Due to the new restrictions, the Second Amendment Foundation, a national gun rights organization based in Bellevue, Washington, filed a federal lawsuit last week.

“They are trying to mimic and mimic what New York and New Jersey did,” SAF founder and executive vice president Alan Gottlieb told Newsmax. “They’ll issue a ticket, but once you’ve got it, it’s no good anywhere.”

“It has a chilling effect on getting gun permits, what good is a permit if you can’t use it?”

In some cases, a legally licensed concealed baggage carrier could face felony charges if they wandered into the wrong area while armed.

SAF also filed a lawsuit against a New Jersey law with essentially the same restrictions and won a preliminary injunction in that case last week.

“The Constitution leaves states with some measures to combat gun violence,” US District Court Chief Judge Renee Marie Bumb wrote in her 235-page ruling. “But what the Second Amendment prohibits states from doing, and what the State of New Jersey has done here with much of Chapter 131, is ‘prevent law-abiding citizens with ordinary needs for self-defense from exercising their right to to have and to have arms.’ That is clearly unconstitutional.”

A federal district court also struck down the New York restrictions.

But Gottlieb thinks Maryland may be a tougher nut to crack.

“I don’t know if that will happen in Maryland because, frankly, they have a pretty good judge from their point of view,” he said.

But the trial court is just the first step in what could be a long road that leads back to the United States Supreme Court.

“But eventually we’re going to win this,” Gottlieb said. “And I’m sure that as far as these so-called ‘sensitive locations’ type laws, the Supreme Court will accept them.”

Gottlieb sees some of the current state laws as analogous to mockery “because basically what they’re doing is sticking their finger in the Supreme Court’s eye.”

“They have almost made these new laws worse than the old law,” he said.

Sure, an applicant had to jump through more hoops to get a permit, but once issued, you could carry a concealed firearm almost anywhere.

In addition to New York, New Jersey and Maryland, Gottlieb predicts that other blue states will soon enact similar measures, specifically citing California as a possible candidate.

“There is no well-established and representative historical analogue for the carry bans included in SB1, which appears to be in direct conflict with the Supreme Court directive set forth in Bruen,” Adam Kraut, SAF executive director, said in a statement from press. “The new law prohibits the carrying allowed in establishments where alcohol is served, in health establishments and even in museums. These restrictions are apparently unconstitutional under the Second Amendment, forcing us to take this action in court.”

SAF joins his lawsuit by the Maryland Shall Issue, the Firearms Policy Coalition, and three private Maryland citizens, all of whom hold “carry and use permits.”

Gun advocates point out that what makes the new law especially egregious is that it applies to only one class of people: law-abiding citizens. The criminal element need not feel hampered by the restrictions of SB1.

Just last year, the Greenwood Park Mall in Greenwood, Indiana, was the scene of an incident in which a legal concealed luggage carrier failed to strictly comply with the law.

Elisjsha “Eli” Dicken was carrying a firearm while shopping with her girlfriend, unaware that the mall was a no-gun zone.

An armed man entered the same shopping center, armed with several semi-automatic weapons and several loaded magazines.

The gunman then went to the mall’s food court and opened fire.

But the rampage came to an abrupt halt 15 seconds later when Dicken shot and killed the gunman.

“Many more people would have been killed last night if it hadn’t been for a responsible armed citizen who acted quickly in the first two minutes of the shooting,” Greenwood Police Chief James Ison said during a news conference.

The National Rifle Association agreed.

“We’ll say it again: the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” the NRA tweeted.

However, states like Maryland, New York and New Jersey want to remove that element of a “nice guy with a gun,” Gottlieb said.

“Now you are penalizing the permit holders and not the criminals,” he said.

As a result, the law “is definitely making Maryland less safe, because it doesn’t stop criminals from misusing guns. It just prevents law-abiding people from fighting back.”

This Week on HSCF’s “Hunting Matters” Radio and Podcast: Edward J. Hudson of Wild Strongholds

Welcome to the Houston Safari Club Foundation (HSCF) and Hunting Matters Edward J. Hudson has traveled the world since childhood and recently decided to combine his love of nature, hunting and international travel. During Ed’s childhood, Ed remembers stories of how there used to be more deer, more sheep, and more game. He got tired of these stories and became an avid wildlife conservationist because of stories from the past like these. Since 2017, Ed has hunted in the rainforest and savannah of Cameroon, the Pamir Mountains of Tajikistan, the Hindu-Kush and Karakoram Mountains of Pakistan, the Altai and Hangai Mountains of Mongolia, the Zambezi Escarpment in Zimbabwe, the Austrian Alps and even the Danube. Valley of Hungary.

Ed’s passion for conservation prompted him to educate others in the creation of Wild Strongholds, a film production company designed to entertain and educate the public about conservation efforts around the world. Wild Strongholds offers a unique perspective on conservation efforts involving local communities, hunting companies, biologists, professional hunters, and governments around the world. Most hunters are misunderstood and poorly portrayed by a very loud, vocal, and small subset of the world’s population. People in this world tend to listen to the loudest voices and it’s hard to ignore someone yelling in your face. Ed’s mission is to influence public opinion and portray the beneficial impact hunting has on gamers around the world. He hopes that one day there will be more snow leopards, more brown bears, more lynxes, ibex, and sheep so that one day, when his daughter asks him, “Dad, is this how it used to be?” He may answer “No. it’s not. He’s much better now.

The Firminator RT retains the great features and versatility of Ranew’s full-size 3-point implement, but replaces the disc assembly with a heavy-duty PTO tiller when conditions call for a different soil breaker.

An example of the Firminator RT’s versatility is when top seeding and deep cutting into the ground are optional. Simply scrape the surface, spread the seed and roll it up with the culti-packer, all in one pass. This will allow hardier plants like clover in the plot to persist while new plants sprout and grow. This method also helps conserve soil moisture during dry conditions.

Tillage may also be preferable where there is a thick topsoil of straw and weeds, but only shallow cutting is required. The tiller tines will better break up small clumps of unwanted overgrown plants, reducing the chances of regeneration and providing more surface area for herbicide application.

Perhaps a plot was marked and planted in the spring and is now ready for a late summer planting. Load the hopper with seed, then fill the top with the Firminator RT, and the job is done. The tiller may also be a better option when soils are dry on the surface but too wet to disc below.

The list goes on and every situation is different, but the examples above offer ideas. The Firminator RT provides an alternative when tillage is preferable to disc and may offer the only solution when disc is not possible or practical.

Don’t worry; The Firminator RT still offers the same quality American-made construction and rugged materials as other models. Its Accu-Seed system still allows the Firminator to handle any size seed, from large corn, soybeans, peas and sunflowers to the smallest of clovers, without wasted seed or the need to change seed hoppers. And it still has a Pro-Grade culti-packer to ensure proper seed-to-soil contact for better germination rates.
