President Obama has lifted the arms embargo on Vietnam that dates back to the Vietnam war. In 2014 the ban was partially lifted by Secretary of State John Kerry, allowing only maritime security-related defense equipment to be exported to Vietnam but continuing to [Read More…]
Hot on the success of the CMMG Mutant, Palmetto State Armory released their 7.62×39 AR hybrid, instead opting for compatibility with the AR-15 platform versus its own proprietary system. Originally shown at SHOT 2016 and shot at the Big 3 East in the spring, the [Read More…]
Daniel Defense unveiled their new 32 round polymer magazine at the NRAAM. At first glance the idea of a 32rd magazine seems like a waste. Why bother making a magazine with a meager increase in capacity? First thought is you can load a full 30 rounds without having to [Read More…]
News of the latest addition to Smith and Wesson’s lineup spread fast during the recent NRA Annual Meeting (NRAAM). Smith and Wesson’s newest gun is an M&P Shield chambered in .45 ACP, and it’s an announcement that’s been met with more than a [Read More…]
TacomHQ makes a lens that is positioned in front of an optic to shift the image and give the shooter a new Zero. They have lenses that can attach to a scope or a flip up lens for red dot sights. I wonder if this would be legal in Tac Limited 3Gun? The rules state [Read More…]
Two days ago I published a blog post with diagrams of the REVOLUTIONARY Taiwanese T86 rifle. This AR-15-style rifle featured not only a self-contained piston gas system back in 1998, long before the piston-AR craze in the USA, but it also featured the first drop-in [Read More…]
UPDATE: Jim says he was mis-represented by HBO. He responds here. Jim Sullivan helped design the AR-15 back in 1957, and later the Ruger M77, the Stoner 63, Ruger Mini-14 and the crowd favorite Ultimax 100. Most recently he was the brains behind Surefire’s 60 [Read More…]
The Japanese Arisaka rifles are famous for being ludicrously strong, and the Type 38 was proven to be the strongest of the lot by various post WWII tests. However, does a strong action alone mean that the rifles are fantastic? Well, we take a nice example of a Type 38 to the run and gun […] [Read More…]

Rob Pincus posted this during the NRAAM. We have seen backpacks that can transform into plate carriers. This is a neat idea as well. While the bacpack seems to be faster for deployment, this is an option for your personal vehicle.
Looks like a film from the 70s. The fitter looks like Christopher Lee. I don’t delve into the custom fitted shotgun world so I found the adjustable shotgun stock to be more interesting that watching them make the shotgun. Fitted shotguns are great just like any [Read More…]
Found this online. A bride carried her Kimber Sapphire as something blue. I have seen other pics of newly weds wielding firearms in their wedding pictures. Did any of you have pictures taken like this when you got married?

Shotguns imported from Turkey are getting better and better and provide shooters with a real bargain. Some Turkish guns stand out among the rest and the TriStar Setter over and under is one of them. When I picked the Setter up at my FFL I was impressed with the fit and [Read More…]
I am guessing that we have all seen a gun product and said to ourselves “Why didn’t I think of that?”. But Joe Holden, creator of the MAG/SLAB actually did think of something that will make high-end pistol owner’s very happy. The MAG/SLAB is a [Read More…]
@Empty_Shell_LLC and @Aeroknox have been posting progress pics of their 5.56 minigun project and their D12 bullpup shotgun project. Here is a video of a successful test fire. It is a burst of 5.56. Looks like 10-15 rounds. The first clip of the video is real [Read More…]
Sometimes you see a Cerakote finish so impressive or flat-out awesome you simply cannot pass up the opportunity to share it. Such was the case at this year’s NRA Annual Meeting, which was held in Louisville, Kentucky (next year it’s slotted to take place in [Read More…]

After seeing another blog claim that the AK47 shot 10 MOA (or 10″ groups at 100 yards), James became fed up with the BS and decided to test the prevalent belief that the AK is an inaccurate combat rifle. In this episode of TFBTV, James compares an American made AR15 to a Russian and [Read More…]

A solider posted up some photos of himself and his platoon from back when he served in the IDF in 2010-2012. He focuses mostly on the X95. There are a LOT of photos and comments with each photo. It is interesting seeing the subtle differences and seeing how the guns [Read More…]
Kirsten Joy Weiss reviews her Volquartsen Scorpion pistol. It is a striking looking race gun. I would like to try it and see how it compares to my friend’s one of a kind Limcat .22LR pistol. I would put an optic on it as it would make the gun faster for target [Read More…]
Looks like this was probably done as a joke. I see a rather tricked out Glock that appears to be done by Agency Arms. It has an RMR mounted to the slide and is holstered in a Crye Precision holster. The Glock has a threaded barrel with the Tuff Products railed muzzle [Read More…]
