Nylon Rifles

History, with the source still attached

Nylon Rifles is an independent publication about the history of sporting arms, materials and museum collections. We use the domain’s subject as a starting point for a broader interest in how objects are made meaningful by their historical context.

Our articles explain how to read catalogues, museum records and industrial histories. We do not sell firearms or offer appraisals, authentication, repair or modification instructions.

An independent publication

We are not affiliated with Remington, DuPont, a museum, a manufacturer or any previous operator of this domain. Our editorial notes explain our approach to evidence and illustrations.
