A Gun for All 50 States!

A Gun for All 50 States!

Author: Michael Bane August 12, 2026 Duration: 45:10

From our Wayback Machine all the way from 2021, one of Michael's favorite projects — the 50 State Rifle, a Browning Lever Action in .223. BTW, what would change if we were doing this project today? How about starting with a Henry LASR lever gun in .223? Interested?

The Music of Casey Parnell


You might know Michael Bane from television, but here his voice takes center stage. MICHAELBANE.TV™ ON THE RADIO! brings together his deep, often surprising range of interests into a single, engaging conversation. While the core of the discussion revolves around firearms culture, responsible ownership, and the technical world of shooting sports, the dialogue consistently branches into broader territory. You’ll hear practical advice on personal defense philosophy alongside unexpected detours into topics like gourmet cooking, reflecting the host’s belief in a well-rounded life. Michael’s perspective is shaped by his years as an industry insider and television personality, often dubbed America’s number one "Gun Guy," but he steers clear of dry technical monologues. Instead, he fosters a sense of community and shared learning, exploring how these practical skills intersect with everyday society and personal responsibility. Tuning into this podcast feels like pulling up a chair for a wide-ranging talk with a knowledgeable friend-one who is as likely to analyze competitive shooting techniques as he is to debate the merits of a perfect steak recipe. It’s this unique blend of serious education and genuine, relatable curiosity that defines each episode.
