If you have a stock AR trigger that is a bit on the heavy side and don’t want to replace the trigger with an upgraded one, a reduced power spring kit from JP might just be the ticket. In this week’s Modification Minute we turn a gross 7 pound, 12-ounce [Read More…]
You know that awesome stock you have been eyeing? That one that only comes in Mil-Spec diameter, but your rifle has a commercial diameter buffer tube? This week’s Modification Minute tackles that very problem by replacing the factory commercial buffer tube with [Read More…]
In our latest TFB Modification Minute we look at the installation of a Geissele Rapid Fire Trigger for the AR-15. It allows rapid fire shooting with a short pull, glass-like break and a fast reset. Products featured in this video: Geissele Rapid Fire Trigger [Read More…]
Somebody has been sending letters to FFLs in the United States alleging to be from Heckler & Koch Germany. The letter claims that H&K is recalling all firearms from the United States because they don’t like President Trump and they think there are too [Read More…]
I started The Firearm Blog way back in June 2007. This year we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary! The site slogan back then was “Firearms Not Politics”, as it continues to be today. 10 years ago the internet gun content landscape was very different. [Read More…]
This week’s modification minute features the MGW Sight Pusher, used by professional gunsmiths to adjust and replace handgun sights, rather than potentially damaging hammer/mallet/punch approach. Enjoy! Please support our sponsor Brownells. Products in this video: [Read More…]
I am very excited to launch the first Modification Minute video. These 1 – 2 minute Facebook videos will cover a range of gunsmithing and firearm maintenance subjects. I have been wanting to do a series like this for a long time but was unable to do so due to [Read More…]
The discussion regarding the deregulation of silencers (suppressors if you insist on using the more politically correct term) has traveled quite the roller coaster path in the last few months. Staying as clear from partisan politics as possible, the election result was [Read More…]
In what is now officially an annual tradition (See https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/01/19/terrific-lady-day-the-promo-girls-of-shot/), James spent the last day of SHOT bouncing around the booths to snap photos of all 18 of the women who go to this [Read More…]
Every year, I try to dedicate a post to my favorite pictures from SHOT. Here’s a look at SHOT Show; the guns, the gear, behind the scenes, in front of the scenes, and everything in between.
Would you like to know what the future of silencer design looks like? Take a long look at the Brevis II Ultra, a six ounce 5.56mm centerfire rifle suppressor. It represents what we may later regard as one of the biggest breakthroughs firearms development in recent [Read More…]
Finally, we have reached the 12th and final day of the TFB Christmas series. As I stated from day one, very few of the the guns and gear listed over the last week and a half were new or previously unseen. My goals were simple: lay out presents that are fun to both give [Read More…]
Ah, what more do you need on a long winter’s night than a crackling fire, a warm drink and a pistol that you can use to fight your way back to your rifle. That saying never seems to get old… however, without starting a full-on blizzard of angry comments, a [Read More…]
So, the headline is slightly misleading – obviously there are options listed here that should be classified as holographic or prismatic sights and not red dots (we talked about the differences a few months back in the astigmatism informational post). You see, I [Read More…]
Ah, the final days of a very TFB Christmas are upon us. And what better way of keeping those silent nights (or days, afternoons, anytime really) actually silent then by gifting yourself a quality pistol suppressor. Lucky for you, or whomever is buying your gift, the [Read More…]
The advances that manufacturers have made in the development of lights and lasers in the past five to ten years is nothing short of amazing. I, like most of you, remember a time when attaching a weapon light to a firearm was a head-turning event at the range. [Read More…]
Ok, there is is nothing earth-shattering buried within TFB’s seventh day of Christmas. But no matter how many magazines you have collected over the years, it’s always fun to be gifted more. Or, if you are looking for last minute or Secret Santa gifts for [Read More…]
Right in the middle of TFB’s 12 Days of Christmas are the least glamorous gift suggestions. But sometimes the least flashy presents, the ones you fail to buy for yourself, are the most satisfying to receive. Case in point: first aid. Unfortunately only a small [Read More…]
Every time I lament cleaning guns after a range trip, I think about the regiment that black powder shooters have to undergo to avoid corrosion. Specifically, how I am able to use cotton patches and my choice of CLP rather than a bucket of hot water and dish soap. I own [Read More…]
No matter what religion you practice or holiday you observe, I’m asking everyone to pray that 2017 will be the ‘Year of the Silencer’. But we have to do more than just hope and pray. One good start would be to join the American Suppressor Association, [Read More…]
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing! Or is it your tinnitus? If you haven’t been using proper hearing protection when you head to the range or even in the field, make a resolution to start in 2017. And don’t worry, if you’d rather “wear” your [Read More…]
TFB’s second day of Christmas may not be the most exciting category, but receiving tools as a gift has can be extremely satisfying. Whereas it is easy enough to drop $500 on ammunition, spending $20 on a single hand tool for yourself seems outrageous – even [Read More…]
Yes, the real 12 days of Christmas will actually start on December 25th and run until January 6th, but in an effort to include everyone this holiday season, I’m switching things up. So whether you celebrate Santa’s arrival, Hanukkah or Martian [Read More…]
Black Friday is just days and it would not be Black Friday for us without SlickGuns cataloging all the firearm, ammunition and accessory deals. This Black Friday is of special importance, being the first Black Friday after the 2016 Elections. The result of the [Read More…]
The holiday season is upon us! Today, the last Thursday in November, is Thanksgiving, a holiday to give thanks for all the blessings in our lives. Therefore, we here at The Firearm Blog give thanks for our readers all over the world, and wish all of them a very happy [Read More…]
I just righted a wrong that should have been fixed long ago. I joined the American Suppressor Association, an organization sponsored by industry, dealers and individual membership, dedicated to promoting the benefits of firearm silencers/suppressor ownership nationwide. [Read More…]
I’ve been waiting on the release of these two pistols since late 2013 so it’s nice to be able to finally tell the readers about them. The Remington new product writers seminar held in West Virginia in September gave us the opportunity to shoot this new RP [Read More…]
