I was watching Star Wars Rogue One yesterday and noticed this. Odd I did not see it when I saw the movie in the theater. Although it is only used for a brief second. The scene is from when the rebels free Jyn Erso from the Turbo Tank. The first guy into the confined [Read More…]

I picked up a Crye Precision Gun Clip many years ago. To be honest I have not used it that much although I liked the concept. Holstering a Glock with weaponlight is easier now, but when I bought this, custom Kydex holsters were not as common as they are now. One issue [Read More…]
I have yet to see the newest John Wick release, but this NERF gun parody had me laughing for a long time. YouTube channel Corridor Digital released three minutes of awesomeness a few weeks back, substituting NERF guns for the real deal, but leaving the action and [Read More…]

Shooting 1760 yards (one mile) is not anything to sniff at. 1760 yards is a rather long way off for even the most experienced of shooters much less a shooter who has only shot past 1000 yards once prior. In this episode of TFB TV, Patrick takes a Remington MSR on loan from DSG Arms out […] [Read More…]
In this article, we’ll take a look at some curious and relatively less-known facts as well as some handy tips concerning the shotgun ammunition. There is no actual criteria as such. I just gathered some thoughts, random facts and other interesting information that [Read More…]
Every now and then a thought pops into your head that truly deserves some time devoted to it. This time it was me wondering if the tactitards and neckbeards really do make the industry go round. I have heard it said by multiple people that make a living in the shooting [Read More…]
I stumbled across this oddity. It is a Glock 21 with an odd looking muzzle brake and an H&K styled vertical grip typically seen on an MP5K. While I have seen some people try to add a vertical grip onto a Glock before, this one is different. It appears there is a [Read More…]
The U.S. Rifle, Caliber .30, Modle of 1903, commonly called the “Springfield” to this day for its close association with the government arsenal has a long, storied, and well-documented history. The weapon faithfully served through two World Wars and numerous [Read More…]
If one cannot find a minigun to go shoot, a fully-automatic 22LR is a very close second. While the tiny little can-do cartridge can pack a tiny wallop with well-placed shots, there is something to be said to hitting with a swarm of the rimfire rounds. One, perhaps two [Read More…]
Sturm, Ruger & Co. announced a new offering: the AR-Lower Elite. The AR-Lower Elite is a complete AR lower that includes a full fire control group, buffer tube assembly and stock. All you need to do is add an upper and magazine to start having fun. Back in December, [Read More…]
While I have certainly enjoyed my various typical gunbelts, they have almost always been a bit like the Goldiloks fairy tale – too tight or too loose, which has not been the belt’s fault. Given that I swap across various jeans, pants, IWB, OWB and other [Read More…]

A recent solicitation originating from Quantico has come out and is specifically requesting Geissele products. Although the solicitation RFQ is worded as open to the public, it lists Geissele items and nothing else. These are the commercially available “Super [Read More…]
A reliable “coffin” style magazine is perhaps the holy grain of high-capacity enthusiasts. While drums are certainly a proven technology, they often suffer from large volume relative to the ammunition contained inside which then causes other issues like [Read More…]
The Ruger .22 LR 10/22 rifle probably has the record for the most “drop in” imitation firearms ever. There are 10/22 platforms that will allow it to look like a Garand, a P90, even an AK74! The majority of these are of course mostly aesthetic and don’t [Read More…]
Clear Ballistics gel test of 9x18mm Prvi Partisan 95 gr JHP fired from Bulgarian Arsenal Makarov. The “Soviet 9mm” perform out of the classic Soviet pistol. The 9x18mm round dates back to just after WWII and is about as powerful as a modern .380 ACP round, less powerful than its NATO [Read More…]
Ah… the Glock grip plug. Often overrated or undervalued, its a polarizing little piece. Glock purists will argue that it is not needed (its not) and shooters will argue it does indeed plug a hole and ease reloads by removing a lip (it does both). Both parties are [Read More…]
After the first two World Wars, Lugers were plentiful. Highly sought after by troops, the weapons made it back in droves to the United States where they were a commodity for some time before gaining the status us an uber-collectors item today. Given this, a poor (or [Read More…]
Thanks to you friend at North Sylva for sharing these pictures. This is a Norinco M1A chambered in 7.62×39. It was imported into Canada where Dickson lives. This seems like a great idea. I would love to get these in the US. Sadly we can’t. Here are some more [Read More…]
