This issue is heavy on S.W.A.T.’s no-nonsense tests and
evaluations: the latest carbine from Robinson Armament, gas masks from Avon, tools for the AR-15, Leupold’s digital laser rangefinders, and the Czech Vz82
pistol.
If that’s not enough, the October issue also concludes the
analysis of the 1972 Munich Olympic massacre started in the September issue. We
legally update the SKS and take another look at an old standby: protecting your
firearms from the elements. Plus the columns and departments you look forward
to every month.

UPDATING THE SKS RIFLE:
Keepin’ It Legal
It started with a simple idea: writing a “how-to” article on updating the SKS rifle with a collapsible stock and other accessories. The challenge: doing it legally. If more than ten imported parts are used, it’s an illegal rifle. How did the author this obstacle?

X MARKS THE SPOT:
Robinson Armament’s XCR
XCR, the new carbine from Robinson Armament, brings together many of the favored features from the AR-15, AK-47, and FN-FAL into one package.
