Reader Says Silver a $1000 Dud
I think the Silver was a $1000+ dud. I was very puzzled by the B rating given to the Browning Silver Mossy Oak Duck Blind 20 gauge. I would be very upset after spending $1064 and going into the field and having failures to feed and/or fire. I think I’d rather save $568 and go with the more dependable Mossberg. What gives, guys? You should have rated it no more than a 'D' for dud.

The FBI has reported that 10 of the highest-traffic NICS days of all time have occurred since the November election. Friday, November 28, 2008, saw 97,848 clearance requests—22,716 more requests than the second-highest day, Friday, December 22, 2006.

Coincidence? I think not
