The Rimfire Report: Master Chief's Favorite .22? FarrowTech's FT-M Kit

If you have spent any amount of time on the range with a KelTec P17 , you already know it looks like it fell out of a prop bin on a low-budget sci-fi set. The telltale signs of a KelTec’s typical clamshell polymer construction and boxy lines have earned it comparisons to everything from a N...
