About This Episode:

We cover recent firearms industry news, including the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s plan to sell former U.S. government M14 rifles to civilians in permanently semi-automatic form, and Auto-Ordnance’s short-barreled M1 Carbine with a 12-inch barrel and suppressor threading.

We also discuss a new range project in Cody, Wyoming, along with several new product announcements, including the KelTec Sub2000 SDP and the Springfield Armory Echelon Alpha.
We then look at low-light training topics in an upcoming webinar with Dan Brady and close with a remembrance of Greg Motes and his role in shooting history and IPSC development.
