every reputable gun owner should be an NRA Member.

Chris W. Cox
The lesson the Colorado recall holds for all NRA members is that our success
depends upon going the extra mile to stand for what we believe in, to support
the candidates and elected of cials who wage our battles in Congress and in
the state legislatures, and to encourage other gun owners to join our cause.

Is there any doubt that Americans, all things being equal, still prefer
the .45 ACP? Sturm, Ruger & Co. introduced two .45s this year, one is
cutting-edge and the other is a classic. Take your pick.

In the old days, off-body carry entailed rudimentary “fanny packs” for
handguns and rearm-speci c cases for ri es and shotguns. Today, a wide
variety of discreet cases make off-body carry a whole new proposition.

The iconic Thompson Submachine Gun was the main Allied submachine
gun used in the critical early years of World War II. From Bataan to the
Kasserine Pass, and from Normandy to Okinawa, the “Tommy Gun”
served American troops well.

THE COVER:
Sturm, Ruger & Co. made alot of “P-series” polymer-frame
semi-automatic pistols, but they were large, heavy guns
that were far from sleek. That changed with the SR series,
starting with the SR9. Well, that gun has a new big brother,
a remarkably sleek 10-round .45 ACP named the SR45,
shown here with a Laser-Max laser on its dustcover. For
more on this new Ruger—as well as the new SR1911
Commander in .45 ACP—turn to Field Editor Wiley Clapp’s
story beginning on p. 56. Photo by Forrest MacCormack.

America Remembers Presents
The John Wayne Tribute Rifle
John Wayne stood larger than life on the silver screen, and just as tall in real
life. During his long career, he appeared in more than 150 films, and audiences
around the world recognized him as the one man who best represented the
patriotic spirit of America.
More than 30 years after his death, John Wayne
still ranks among the top 10 most popular movie stars in the
annual Harris Poll, and his movies continue to be viewed by
millions of Americans, ensuring his status as a legendary
American icon.
Many people remember him best from his
Westerns. He was the lawman who tamed the wild
towns, the gunfighter who stood up for the poor
and powerless, the iron-willed westerner who
wouldn’t back down.
Now, America Remembers,
with authorization from John Wayne
Enterprises, LLC proudly announces
the John Wayne Tribute
Rifle, a handsomely decorated firearm issued in remembrance and tribute to this
distinguished American and legendary Western film star.
To honor America’s favorite Western movie star, we selected the classic Model
‘73 rifle, arguably America’s most famous Western rifle. Often called “the rifle
that won the West,” the Model ‘73 has been admired for decades as an
engineering landmark, representing light-weight utility and long-ranged
power. The rugged lever action proved simple to operate and offered
quick and plentiful firepower. Since its days of action on the Western
frontier, the Model ‘73 has become a classic – widely desired and
highly collectible. Each John Wayne Tribute Rifle is a handsome
working recreation of the immortal Winchester Model 1873
rifle produced for us by the master craftsmen of A. Uberti,
the world’s premier maker of historical firearms recreations.
Every metal surface of the John Wayne Tribute
Rifle is finished in a mirror-polished, lustrous
deep blue by craftsmen commissioned for
this project by America Remembers. The
receiver features artwork in 24-karat gold and
scrollwork in the tradition of the finest
presentation firearms.
Only 3500 John Wayne Tribute Rifles
have been authorized for this edition and
demand is expected to be very strong.
Reservations will be accepted in the order
they are received. We will arrange delivery
of your working Tribute through a
licensed dealer of your choice. If for
any reason you are less than
satisfied, you may return the
Tribute in original unfired
condition within 30
days for a complete
and courteous
refund. Act today
to secure your
own Tribute
before the
edition
closes.

UNDER ATTACK

The right side of the receiver features a scene familiar to every fan of
Western classics. In it, John Wayne leads the U.S. Cavalry through the buttes
and dry gullies of desolate Monument Valley. Above the scene flies a banner
that reads “John Wayne.”
Left side of the receiver features John Wayne as a wagon train scout, leading settlers and a cavalry
escort through Apache territory. This scene was taken from the painting, “Under Attack,” by famed
Western artist Frank McCarthy. And if you look closely, you will see a rifle in John Wayne’s right hand!
Handsome scrollwork in the tradition of the finest firearms frames the artwork, with all artwork being
featured in stunning 24-karat gold.
