American Rifleman

American Rifleman

"American Rifleman" is the official publication of the National Rifle Association (NRA).

History

Arthur Corbin Gould, an avid shooter and member of the Massachusetts Rifle Association, published "The Rifle" in 1885. "The Rifle" was the forerunner to the NRA's "The Rifleman", later "American Rifleman". Gould later authored "Modern American pistol and revolver, including a description of modern pistols and revolvers of American make; ammunition used in these arms; results accomplished; and shooting rules followed by American marksmen" as well as "Modern American Rifles".
