Without any warning, the social media platform Instagram has deleted The Firearm Blog’s account and all its contents. While the exact reason for the removal is unknown, it doesn’t take a modern-day Sherlock Holmes to make a few basic deductions. TFB’s account was [Read More…]

Hello everyone, my name is Pete and its been six weeks since my last B&T post (although my brother in arms Erik B. has been doing a stellar job of keeping us updated about B&T products in the EU). Even so, I feel it’s time I fell off the wagon to talk about [Read More…]
Merry Christmas to all our readers, both at home in the USA and abroad, and a happy new year to all! It’s been a big year here at The Firearm Blog. The blog turned 10, and became the Number 1 gun blog on the Internet, and saw the well-deserved retirement of both [Read More…]

I started The Firearm Blog way back in June 2007. This year we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary! The site slogan back then was “Firearms Not Politics”, as it continues to be today. 10 years ago the internet gun content landscape was very different. [Read More…]
I am not afraid to admit it, one of the nicest triggers I’ve pulled has been attached to a high end air gun. The Daystate Airwolf has an electronic trigger that is silky smooth, producing repeatable sub-MOA targets. Our friends at the Rock Island Auction Company [Read More…]

I, for one, enjoy Precision Rifle Blog’s truly data-driven approach to everything they do. Their latest drive into the data is an epic breakdown of .30 cal muzzle brakes, rating them by 4 major criteria: Recoil reduction Ability to Stay On Target (Muzzle [Read More…]
Last week, we took a look at the troubled American M73 tank machine gun, designed to be the ultimate rifle-caliber tank MG. Tanks and other armored fighting vehicles together are another fascinating subject that is often closely related to that of small arms. In light [Read More…]
