Vegas gun blogger “702″ has posted a review of the LAR Grizzly OPS-4 Upper Receiver with ambidextrous reciprocating side charging handles. I really like the look and can appreciate the utility of a left-side charging handle (I am right handed).

Billll reviews the .40 S&W Hi-Point 4095 carbine … I tried it at 100 yards, which was very optimistic of me, given my rather dubious eyesight. Note to self; If you think you’re going to shoot very well at 100 yards with this, get some glass. Either that [Read More…]
The Packing Rat has reviewed the Burris FastFire II red dot sight … The RD is small and light weight – it’s likely you wouldn’t notice the difference on Ruger Mark III 22/45. According to the project description, Burris states that the unit is waterproof. [Read More…]
