Olympic Arms Whitney Wolverine

Here it is again. At Olympic Arms we've been touting the return of the Whitney Wolverine pistol for years, and here it is to begin shipping in late 2004. Not flood, fire, nor earthquake could keep this pistol from seeing the light of manufacturing day. The original Whitney Wolverine pistols first went into production in 1956. They were a huge hit with consumers. The radical 'space age' design was ergonomic on the hand, and pointed quite well for most shooters. With new technology in cast aluminum available after WWII, the Wolverine was a very lightweight and strong handgun. It's shape alone attracted many consumers.

Springfield Honors Gen. Franks with one-of-a-kind firearms

TAMPA, FL - Springfield Armory recently honored Four-Star General Tommy Franks with two one-of-a-kind Springfield firearms.
Gen. Franks served as Commander in Chief, United States Central Command from June, 2000 until his retirement August 1, 2003. He commanded Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq.
"Gen. Franks is a truly great American. He has done so much for all of us in the battle against terror." Springfield Co-Chairman of the Board Dennis Reese said. "We feel that by honoring him, in some way we honor all the other great Americans that have served under him."
The guns presented were embellished versions of two of the hottest new firearms in the industry, Springfield's Micro-Compact 45-caliber pistol and the new SOCOM 16 version of their M1A rifle. Both bear Frank's name, four gold stars, custom serial numbers and other embellishments. The Springfield M1A is the civilian version of the military's M-14, which was issued to Gen. Franks when early in his military career.
Reese said that he hopes the elegant appearance of these custom guns will not keep Gen. Franks from getting full enjoyment out of them. "Don't let the beautiful exteriors fool you," he said. Underneath it all, they are Springfields, and that means they were made to be shot."
Gen. Franks was truly impressed with the new additions to his firearms collection. "Abosolutely beautiful," he said. "I've loved you guys for years, and now I know why."

XM-8 Is Gun of the Future

U.S. soldiers have been waiting for a long time for weapons to replace current ones that rely on Vietnam-era technology. And the new weapons are right around the corner. One of these weapons is the XM-8 (search), a rifle with chameleon-like qualities that allows soldiers to interchange parts, outfitting it for urban warfare or long-range sniping. Military and civilian weapons experts are still working out the kinks in the XM-8, which will replace the M-16."The ability to reconfigure the weapon to the mission was very, very important. ... It grew out of soldiers telling us they need these kinds of capabilities," said Col. Michael J. Smith, project manager for Soldier Weapons.The XM-8 is designed to be lighter and more user-friendly than current weapons. It is part of a new family of weapons, including machine-gun type weapons like the XM-307 and XM-312 that are lethal at more than a mile away.In addition to being lighter, the new technology in the XM-8 makes hitting targets extremely easy. The rifle could be in soldiers' hands as early as next summer.http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,128512,00.html
