    Smith & Wesson Buys Savage Arms: What We Know

    Smith & Wesson buys Savage Arms: the deal closed October 21, 2026, bringing the Westfield, Massachusetts, maker of the 110, AXIS and Model 334 rifles under S&W. S&W put Savage's value at $160 million, paid with about 9 million S&W shares plus cash, and sees Savage's hunting rifles and shotguns filling out its handgun-heavy lineup. Neither company has announced changes to Savage models, the Westfield operation, jobs, warranty service or the Stevens and Fox names yet. We'll update this as they share more.

    Aero Precision Is Shipping Again: M4E1 PRO Lowers Hit Dealers

    Aero Precision is shipping again: its first batch of M4E1-PRO stripped lower receivers has reached dealers and distributors, and Aero says more ships daily. Now under new ownership after a court-supervised receivership, Aero says it's working through outstanding orders, which matters to customers who say earlier orders went unfilled. Still no ETA on M5 (.308-size) parts, standard M4E1 lowers, EPC-9 (9mm carbine) uppers, Stag uppers, the Solus or camo builder sets. Your local dealer is the best place to check stock.

    Glock Wins Preliminary Injunction Against Connecticut Law

    Glock says a federal court in Connecticut granted its request for a preliminary injunction, so for now Connecticut businesses can keep selling Glock pistols. That includes importing, advertising and selling Glock pistols made on or after October 1, 2026. Glock filed the case on September 21. A preliminary injunction is a temporary order while the case continues, not a final ruling, and all other gun laws still apply. If you're shopping in Connecticut, your dealer can tell you what's available.
