I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Magpul did a great job on this one, as they do with everything they "invent". They've proven to me many times that they can reinvent the wheel.
I love Magpul. Now I'm waithing for a self leveling follower for the .308 dmps mags.
