We stopped in on our friends over at Brownells and Patrick decided he wanted a job. After all, there is nowhere cooler to work (except for The Firearm Blog) for a gun guy! Well, it turns out that Patrick isn’t a very good employee in the traditional sense. Check out why Patrick got fired! [Read More…]

After posting yesterday’s long and curved AR15 Magazine, I came across something similar for the AK47. The top photo looks like someone coupled two of these mags above. Anyone have hands on experience with these ridiculous magazines? It looks like there is [Read More…]

A Marine and his rifle makes perhaps one of the most individually lethal combinations on the planet. Marines and their rifles, even deadlier, and battalions, supported by individual and combined arms one of the most feared and revered fighting organizations on the [Read More…]
Behind every great silencer is a great barrel – literally. If you shoot suppressed, consider what life would be like with shoddy threads that leave your $600+ and year-long-wait hearing protection device hanging at a non-concentric angle to your boreline. [Read More…]
The release of the Galil ACE has been met with generally positive reviews. The weapon system, basically an updated Galil/AK is picking up a reputation for being attractive, reliable, and usable with new features welcome including AR-style magazine compatibility on the [Read More…]
Thanks to Miles for sharing this photo. Does anyone know who makes this rather potent looking AR mag? It is rather long and curves a bit to the right lol Joking aside would this be a 100 rd magazine? I am curious about the logistics of this magazine. I don’t see [Read More…]
It is hard to believe that TFB is now a decade old. It has been an incredible journey from a tiny personal blog, to a blog with a team of 35 people made up of 25 writers and videographers along with at least 10 people directly involved behind the scenes and the We [Read More…]
In this episode of TFBTV, James goes over what he thinks are the Top 5 movies from a gun guy’s perspective. James uses input from a poll completed by Patreon supporters in order to make this list. Gun porn need not apply, as all of these movies had positive critical acclaim, and a couple are [Read More…]
Manufacturing artillery pieces is an utterly fascinating process – especially if one has any knowledge of manufacturing. Specifically, creating the barrels is perhaps one of the most technically challenging parts of making the howitzers. Outside of the physical [Read More…]
While everyone can appreciate Freedom Ordnance’s belt-fed FM-9 9mm wonder upper, another company has been working with the name on their own rifle – the FM-9 by Foxtrot Mike Products. Where the Freedom Ordnance blazes some new trails, the Foxtrot Mike does [Read More…]

Like many children of the 80’s, I enjoy playing video games. No, they aren’t remotely “combat simulators” or any of that sort of nonsense. They’re just fun entertainment. One of my all time favorites has been the Fallout series of post [Read More…]
I shot a two gun match the other day and it occurred to me that, as impressive as the ranging features on certain sights are, they may not be all that practical. Don’t get me wrong, I like my ACSS reticle and long range shooting is fun, but the longest shot in [Read More…]
Pictured are a number of makeshift revolving firearms seized by Nigerian security forces during multiple operations targeting gun runners. In one incident in August last year eleven soldiers were killed by a group of bandits who also “burnt down 4 operational [Read More…]
As I continue to (slowly) source parts for my PWS Summit straight pull 10/22 build, I keep stumbling upon products I wish I had found years ago. For example, Victor Company, a precision rifle product business, produces a free-float stock system for the 10/22. Dubbed the [Read More…]
Hey SLR Rifleworks does not need no stinking low-cost manufacturing methods, instead, they have opted for the most expensive option to create an AK stock – milling it from a large block of billet material. Commonly, AK stocks are either mass-produced wood or [Read More…]
A company called Armament (yes, simply Armament) manufactures an AR-15 buffer called L.A.R.B. (Linear Alignment Recoil Buffer). When you look at this buffer, you can immediately notice its enlarged tail portion. That allows having the second point of contact with the [Read More…]
Last December Tim Harmsen of MAC showed off a prototype of the ETS mag loader. We saw it again at SHOT Show in January. The concept is not particularly new. We have seen similar magazine loaders that scoop up ammo out of the boxes. B&T made one for the MP5 magazine. [Read More…]
