GENESEO, ILL. – The Armory Life™ is pleased to announce the release of the Summer 2025 issue of The Armory Life print magazine featuring a cover story interview with Capt. Dale Dye, USMC (Ret.), renowned military advisor, actor and writer. This quarterly print magazine complements the daily digital content available on TheArmoryLife.com.

Since its launch in 2019, The Armory Life website has proven to be an outstanding resource for firearms-oriented content. It delivers exciting and in-depth daily posts created by some of today’s most respected experts in the firearms community. With the launch of the full-color, 96-page quarterly print magazine in early 2021, fans of The Armory Life were given an entirely new medium for consuming this content.

This issue’s exclusive cover story interview with Capt. Dye provides readers with insight into this remarkable man’s story. Having served as a decorated Marine in Vietnam, he has brought an unparalleled level of expertise to Hollywood for decades — both behind and in front of the camera.

In addition to that interview article, the issue features in-depth reviews of some of the latest and greatest firearms available. These include the Echelon™ 4.5F Comp 9mm, 1911 DS Prodigy™ Compact 9mm pistols, optics-ready 1911 TRP™ pistols and much more. Further rounding out the issue is an article by Tom Laemlein on the history of the aircraft-mounted Lewis machine gun, battling in the skies above the trenches of World War I.

This print magazine is designed to integrate closely with its digital sibling website, featuring easy-to-use QR codes throughout. Simply open your camera app on your smartphone and scan the code, and you’ll be taken online to expanded content and video segments.

Recipients of The Armory Life print magazine are selected from Springfield Armory warranty registrants. Currently, subscribers receive two years’ worth (eight issues) of the magazine.

“I was honored to have the opportunity to sit down with Capt. Dye and conduct this interview,” said Mike Humphries, editor-in-chief of the magazine. “Although a huge fan of his work for much of my life, interviewing him revealed many fascinating details about his life and work I didn’t know.”
