Found this gem on Gearwhores Anonymous. It is a photo of some Dutch Swat and DSI officers. The guy in the middle looks like he was in the middle of a GQ magazine photoshoot when feces hit the fan. While the other two guys are dressed to the nines. Not sure why they need [Read More…]
My friend TC posted this photo of his display. It looks clean and professional. What you are looking at is a DIY weapon display he made. It is just peg board that he painted silver. Fooled me. I thought it was metal sheets with holes. And to top it all off, those are [Read More…]
This photo was used for NRA’s Carry Guard. I cannot find it on their website now but take a good look at the photo. What is James Jarrett doing? Why is his index finger on the trigger as he is drawing his pistol? So a little caveat, James Jarrett is a veteran and [Read More…]
Thanks to Hrachya H. for sharing this photo. The rifle appears to be an AK74. But it is the customized paint job that interests me. It looks a lot like the the Petrykivka painting style from the Ukraine. This style of painting is very colorful and flowery. It is used to [Read More…]
Back in the late 70’s Russia came up with a cool concept. A silent cartridge. You can see the cut away above and below. The long cylinder is the projectile and the red piece under it is the piston. When the primer is struck it ignites the powder like a [Read More…]
The spring of a magazine is pretty much the hear and soul of the mag. It is what makes it work. Without it, it is just an empty box. Atlas Gunworks showed a picture testing some .40s&w 2011 magazines. Just look at how twisted the mag spring is! To help show this [Read More…]
I saw this the other day when I helped out some friends set up stages for a Steel Challenge match. This shooter was shooting Trap by himself and he was wearing a Top Hat. One of my friends said some people are starting to wear elaborate hats when shooting Trap. He has [Read More…]
Patriot Gun Polishing takes any gun and polishes the metal to a mirror finish. You can see the shine on the Colt above. I had traded a USP for a 1911 that just happened to be polished as well. I ended up selling it as I did not use it much. It does look cool […] [Read More…]
I had the opportunity to compare the brand new Tikka T3x TAC A1 with the Ruger Precision Rifle (Gen 1). The Tikka is so new it’s hardly on the market yet. First official deliveries to mortals like you and me are – to my knowledge – end of May. Both [Read More…]
Corey likes his bolt guns set up like a sniper rifle. His GA Precision .308 is a prime example of that. Here is his CZ 455 Vamint trainer that he had threaded to run his SilencerCo Sparrow. It comes with that camouflaged Manners stock made for the CZ 455. He mounted a [Read More…]

Today’s Photo is the Benchmade Nimravus in OD Green and with a fixed Tanto style blade. Not one, but twins. It’s always hard to judge the size of a knife on a picture, without a good reference. I would say that the Nimravus is a little smaller than I [Read More…]
J.W. Ramp was shooting some surplus 37mm flares out of his M16 style smoke launcher. Be careful of what you shoot them at. The flare hit the berm but had enough energy to bounce up and over the berm and into the field behind it. Fortunately it was raining but they [Read More…]
The photo above is a screen shot from a Taiwanese news report about the sales of the T91 upper receiver being imported by Wolf Ammo. If you are not familiar with the T91, it is the standard issued rifle for the Republic of China, aka Taiwan. Wolf is importing the upper [Read More…]
My buddy Andrew Ha aka @FiftyshadesofFDE posted a pic of his Surefire addiction. There are some rather rare unicorns in this photo. The bronzed Milspec Kroma is extremely rare that I have never seen one before. The Tan Vampire Mini Scoutlight is also rather rare as [Read More…]
The photo above is from the European Space Agency. This image shows the results of a lab test impact between a small sphere of aluminum travelling at approximately 6.8 km/second and a block of aluminum 18 cm thick. This test simulates what can happen when a small [Read More…]
Thanks to my friend Scott B. for sharing this story. A shooter was unloading his handgun when this happened. From what Scott relayed to me, was that the shooter cups the ejection port to catch the round to save time from picking it up off the floor. Now to clarify, this [Read More…]

Designed by Greg Thompson and Made in the USA by Benchmade. This is not a knife I would normally buy, but I did. Rather surprised, I liked it so much I bought another. Took a few photos of them and here’s the result. The SOCP is described as: The SOCP Knife is the [Read More…]
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 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…]
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…]
Tom Bostic made this MP5SD for a friend. His friend already had an MP5SD in .40 cal so he wanted something a little different. I rarely build Roller locks but a buddy of mine wanted something that looked like it it should be in some futuristic space movie. He already [Read More…]
Hrachya H. shared this photo with me. It is a bullpup AK made here in the US. It is made by Utah Custom Gunstocks. I am very curious as to how he linked the triggers. Although I still think the OTS Groza is the coolest bullpup AK.
While I was at Keith Biddle’s machine shop having a barrel re-threaded, I asked if he remembered the price of his Uncle’s scopes. He said he had a price list lying around. This price list is dated January 1, 1994. Check out the prices of some of his scopes. [Read More…]
TPM Outfitters recently came across a 1980’s Hensoldt light. Old school HK optic made by Hensoldt that projects light with a crosshair in the beam. It runs on 5 C batteries and weighs as much as the MP5 itself. Back in the day SAS ran Maglite flashlights ontop of [Read More…]

Inspired by my friend Paul Kim (PK) I constructed this technological terror. Because it is so stupid and silly I am proud of it. Back when PK was Senior VP of SureFire, he posed for a photo. Ignore the photoshopped elements like the lamp and swiss army knife. And you [Read More…]
