Morale patches have been getting pretty popular over the past few years, it seemed like at the 2017 SHOT Show especially. Lots of companies were giving out morale patches as a way to market themselves at the show. I managed to build up quite a collection from all the [Read More…]
The Mosin Nagant may be overrated but I still like those old Soviet rifles, and most rifles from WWII as well. Mosins used to be dirt cheap and plentiful, now they’re harder to come by and prices have been creeping closer and closer to the $300 mark. That said [Read More…]
