Vista Outdoor has acquired the iconic Remington Ammunition brand, aiming to revive its manufacturing operations in Lonoke, Arkansas. The acquisition follows Remington's 2020 bankruptcy, with Vista Outdoor integrating the brand alongside Federal, CCI, and Speer. The focus is on restoring quality, securing raw materials, and re-employing skilled workers to meet high market demand for popular lines like Core-Lokt and UMC.
This video delves into the rare and historically significant Volcanic 'Rocket Ball' ammunition. It highlights the unique caseless design where the bullet contained propellant and primer, eliminating extraction needs. Despite its innovative concept, the ammunition suffered from severe underpowering and reliability issues, including 'separated case heads'. The video traces its manufacturing lineage from Crittenden & Tibbals to UMC and eventually Remington, underscoring its extreme rarity and high collector value today.
This 1,000-round test of the Glock 19 Gen 4, conducted by Hickok45, found the pistol to be reliable, especially with moderate to high-power ammunition. While three minor failures to eject (stovepipes) occurred, they were attributed to marginal budget ammo. The Gen 4's dual recoil spring system performed well, though the trigger on this specific unit had noticeable creep.
