Small Arms Review is an 84 to 148 page Bi-Monthly publication that started with the premier issue, Volume 1 Number 1, October, 1997. Their purpose is to provide a forum for all aspects of the Class 3 interests, as well as any aspect of the military small arms industry. Small Arms Review's target readership is composed of five basic groups, many of whose interests overlap; NFA Collectors and historians, NFA leisure and Competition shooters, Military Users, Law Enforcement personnel, and industry people. It is the target of the contributing writers to try and satisfy the interests of at least one of these groups in each article, and to overlap interests where possible.
