After the Wednesday round of the 2016 SHOT Show, I sat down for an evening of quiet work, to finish up a few articles I had from the day’s show-trekking. Less than an hour later, I was standing in a crowd at Battlefield Vegas, watching a Chieftain tank crush a [Read More…]

There is some shooting gear that just doesn’t receive the attention and press it deserves, and the shooting mat is one such product. It may not be exciting but it’s extremely useful; if you have ever found yourself without one when one was needed then you [Read More…]
I recently acquired a Magpul D60 drum magazine. As I was looking up disassembly instructions, I came across this video by Twangnbang. The information in this video is helpful. Not that i plan to jam my drum but he tells you what NOT to do. There is really only one way [Read More…]

Since the announcement that Fabryka Broni is seeking to import the MSBS modular rifle into the United States civilian market, there has been a great deal of discussion about the relationship of the MSBS to the Remington ACR or Magpul Masada. The two rifles are very [Read More…]
Very interesting. Having shot my 22LR rifles with my Spectre II and seeing the VSO Gun Channel talk about the YHM Integral suppressor, this Armtac sounds impressive. ARMTAC Monotube integral suppressor on a CZ 455 .22 bolt action rifle. THIS is more than “movie [Read More…]
What are these? AR lowers for ants? Kent Durree posted these pictures up in a private Facebook Group. He and his buddy are making mini AR lowers for fun. I am pleading him to make more and sell them. Kent says he might make an upper that can shoot a .22 short. I just [Read More…]

I came across these the Saturday before SHOT Show 2016. Winchester makes a sub-sonic round in .22 Magnum. I didn’t think such thing existed. Somewhat like a Unicorn. It is mystical and rumored. Many say it doesn’t exist and is impractical. Well this unicorn [Read More…]

Gun storage is something that comes up with increasing frequency in my house thanks to the way our firearms seem to multiply like rabbits. Efficient organizing is something else I, personally, attempt to carry out, and that certainly comes into play with storing [Read More…]

Most of us own at least one AR-15. We may have different reasons for owning them thanks to their versatility – plinking, hunting, competition, home defense – but we have them. And of those many, many AR-15s there probably are not many that remain as they [Read More…]
80% lowers are all the rage for the do-it-yourself types or those wanting to avoid the prying eyes of the US Government. The lowers are effective, but always require a machine to be able to finish (including the polymer lower receivers). Out to change that requirement [Read More…]
In what is looking to be a real blast from the past, a group of individuals are putting together something called Resurgence 3-Gun. It is a 3 gun competition, but the similarity with current 3 gun competitions is where it ends. Unbeknownst to me, the sport of 3 Gun as [Read More…]
